  • Introduction History of Bengal
    Introduction West Bengal is one of the thirty-seven constituent states/ Union Territories of the Union of India lying on the eastern region of the country. India's total landmass is divided into 28 states and 9 union territories. Until 6 August 2019, there were officially 29 states in India. However, that number now has decreased by one to make 28 states after Jammu & Kashmir was granted the status of a Union Territory with its own legislature. It is the 4th ranked state in percentage share of 7.79 to total population of India and also the seventh most populous of the sub-national entity of the world, with over 91 million inhabitants covering a total area of 88,752 sq. km3. West Bengal is one of the most thickly populated states with population density of 1028 per sq. km. The striking point is that with 2.70 percent land share of the country it sustains 7.55 per cent of its population, ranks 12th in area but 4th in population share. A major agricultural producer, West Bengal is the 6th largest contributor to India’s net domestic product. It is bordered by the five national boundaries of Orissa, Jharkhand and Bihar on the west, Sikkim on the north and Assam on the east. It has international borders with the neighbouring countries – Bhutan and Nepal on the north and Bangladesh on the east. History of Bengal Bengal finds a place even in prehistoric times. Stone-age tools have been excavated in the state dating back 20,000 years. Remains of civilization in the greater Bengal region date back 4,000 years.

The productivity of workers and earnings share vary substantially across different production organization, namely independent, intermediaries (under mahajan) and cooperative, and potentiality of growth varies across the trade. The present note seeks to analyse the above-noted issues with reference to kantha crafts of Santiniketan of West Bengal. The study reveals that production organization tied to mahajans is proliferating in the era of liberalization, privatization, and globalization of the economy while independent and cooperative organizations rather stagnate or even suffer decline.
