Özet, vb.
"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"-- Provided by publisher.
