Being Bengali: At Home and in the World de Mridula Nath Chakraborty

Being Bengali: At Home and in the World: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series

Editat de Mridula Nath Chakraborty
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2016
Bengal has long been one of the key centres of civilisation and culture in the Indian subcontinent. However, Bengali identity – "Bengaliness" – is complicated by its long history of evolution, the fact that Bengal is now divided between India and Bangladesh, and by virtue of a very large international diaspora from both parts of Bengal. This book explores a wide range of issues connected with Bengali identity. Amongst other subjects, it considers the special problems arising as a result of the division of Bengal, and concludes by demonstrating that there are many factors which make for the idea of a Bengali identity.

Descriere

Bengal has long been one of the key centres of civilisation and culture in the Indian subcontinent. However, Bengal identity – "Bengaliness" – is complicated by the fact that Bengal is now divided between India and Bangladesh, and by the fact that there is a very large international diaspora from both parts of Bengal. This book explores a wide range of issues connected with Bengali identity. Amongst other subjects, it considers the special problems arising as a result of the division of Bengal, and concludes by demonstrating that there are many factors which make for a single Bengal identity.
