Ray, Niharranjan creator Niharranjan Ray. text xx London : Orient Longman ,1994 9999 monographic und 130p. ; 22 cm. This is a seminal work on the history of the Bengalis from the earliest times to the beginning of the Muslim rule in India. As much a work of literature as of history, this book is not a story of kings and the extension of their power but of the total human experiences of everyday life. Thus, through detailed, methodical discussions on the origins of the various people, their language and literature, daily life and social customs, arts and science, trade and commerce and religion and rituals emerges a complete vivid picture of society and its development through the passage of time. / Niharranjan Ray.
