Description

Being Bengali explores the multifaceted nature of Bengali identity across geography, history, and culture. Bengal stands as a vital centre of civilisation in the Indian subcontinent, yet its identity remains complex due to centuries of evolution, the political division between India and Bangladesh, and the substantial global diaspora from both regions. This volume in the Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series examines critical issues surrounding Bengaliness, including the unique challenges and continuities arising from Bengal's partition. The book considers how Bengali cultural identity persists and transforms across borders, offering insight into how shared heritage, language, and tradition bind together dispersed communities. Through detailed analysis, it demonstrates the enduring factors that unite Bengali peoples regardless of geographic location or political boundaries, making it essential reading for scholars of South Asian studies, cultural identity, and diasporic communities.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series, offering rigorous academic analysis of regional identity issues.
