Society and Culture in Bengal: Essays in Memory of Bhaskar Chattopadhyay

English

This book examines the social and cultural history of Bengal through two major themes the intellectual and cultural dimension, and the socio-economic changes from the ancient to the postcolonial. Essays by major scholars highlight and analyse major debates as well as little known aspects of the region. From currency in ancient Bengal to the establishment of Calcutta, from the social history of Rahr to the challenges of writing history of mediaeval Bengal, from modern medicine to man-made famines, this book brings to the fore the diverse socio-cultural threads that constitute this region.

The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Indian history and culture and South Asian studies.
