Description

THE MUSLIM HERITAGE OF BENGAL reveals a rich and diverse cultural history spanning more than 800 years, looking at the lives, times and works of 42 extraordinary and influential figures. The book endeavours to avoid the secular, nationalist, sectarian and orientalist biases that have prevented a comprehensive and balanced Islamic approach towards this heritage; indeed, a separate presentation is itself novel, given that the region has all too often been presented as a regional footnote to the history of India. Numbering around 200 million people, the Bengali-speaking Muslims constitute one of the largest linguistic groups in the Muslim world, second only to the Arabs. This informative, authoritative and inspiring book is a timely contribution on the subject that is aimed at students, scholars and general readers. Written by the author of the bestselling "The Muslim 100".
