内容説明

Book Description
Bangladesh has existed as an independent country only since 1971, but the history of the area contained in the present nation-state goes back to earliest times. Bengal's long and proud tradition features writers and artists of genius, warriors of renown, and dynasties of fearless leaders. A number of the world's great religions--Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim--have held sway; rulers and conquerors have come and gone. With a population of over a hundred million, Bangladesh is one of the world's larger countries and, as such, deserves to be known better by more people. The authors of the Historical Dictionary are in a unique position because of their training, experience, and background to present key information about Bangladesh in an interesting and easy-to-use format. This new edition expands and updates material found in the first edition, covering people, places, events, and social, economic, and international topics concisely and easily. The extensive bibliography is divided by subject, and appendices list dynasties, rulers during the British period, governors and chief ministers of East Bengal/East Pakistan, and principal Bangladeshi governmental officers from 1971 through 1994.
