Description

In all of the South Asian subcontinent; Bengal was the region most receptive to the Islamic faith. This area today is home to the world's second-largest Muslim ethnic population. How and why did such a large Muslim population emerge there? And how does such a religious conversion take place? Richard Eaton uses archaeological evidence; monuments; narrative histories; poetry; and Mughal administrative documents to trace the long historical encounter between Islamic and Indic civilizations.Moving from the year 1204; when Persianized Turks from North India annexed the former Hindu states of the lower Ganges delta; to 1760; when the British East India Company rose to political dominance there; Eaton explores these moving frontiers; focusing especially on agrarian growth and religious change.
