History Of Bangladesh

Bangladesh came to today's figure from end to end a long history of political growth. Bengal was most likely the wealthiest piece of the subcontinent up till the 16th century. The area's before time history featured a progression of Indian empires, internal power struggle, and a clash between Hinduism and Buddhism for dominance. All of this was just a prologue to the unstoppable tide of Islam which washed over northern India at the end of the 12th century. Mohammed Bakhtiar Khalzhi from Turkistan captured Bengal in 1199 among only 20 men.

Under the Mughal viceroys, art and literature flourished, overland do business prolonged and Bengal was opened to world marine trade - the latter marking the death knell of Mughal power as Europeans began to set up themselves in the region. The Portuguese arrived as near the beginning as the 15th century but were ousted in 1633 by local opponent. The East India Company negotiated terms to found a fortified trading post in Calcutta in 1690. 

The turn down of Mughal power led to greater regional autonomy, heralding the rise of the sovereign rule of the nawabs of Bengal. poor East India Company clerk Robert Clive ended up successfully ruling Bengal when one of the impulsive nawabs attacked the booming British commune in Calcutta and overfed those ill-fated enough not to get away in an subversive basement. Clive retook Calcutta a year later and the British administration replaced the East India Company following the Indian revolution in 1857.

 

The Britons recognized an secretarial and social formation unequaled in Bengal, and Calcutta became one of the most main centers for trade, tutoring and civilization in the subcontinent. However, many Bangladeshi historians charge the British autocratic farming policies and endorsement of the semi-feudal zamindar organism for demanding the county of its prosperity and negative its social structure. The British existence was a help to the marginal Hindus but a tragedy for the Muslims. The Hindus cooperated with the Brits, inflowing British learning institutions and studying the English language, but the Muslims refused to cooperate, and rioted when crops disastrous or another local product was rendered unbeneficial by government strategy.
