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 name Bengal or Banga is of unknown origins, although in some early Sanskrit literature like Aitareya Aranyaka the name Vanga finds a place as caste and as a geographical identity the Arthashastra of Koutilya (2, 11) mentions the name. The word might have been derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Vanga’. At the times of Alexander’s invasion a powerful kingdom called Gangaridai ruled over Bengal. Sasanka, the first recorded independent king of Bengal reigning around the early 7th century said to have played an important role in north-eastern India. He was succeeded by Gopala, who founded the Pala dynasty, which ruled for four hundred years. The Pala dynasty was followed by the Sena dynasty which was ended by the occasional invasion of the Muslim raiders during the thirteenth century with the final settlement of the Mughals in sixteenth century. After the Mughals, history of modern Bengal begins with the advent of the English traders. The battle of Plassey in 1757 changed the course of history when the English gained a strong foothold in Bengal and India as a whole. Bengal Presidency was established by 1765, eventually including the British territories. Calcutta named the capital of India in 1772. The failed Indian rebellion of 1857 resulted in transfer of authority to the British crown, administered by the Viceroy of India. In 1905 it was partitioned to achieve some political returns but people’s growing movement under the auspices of the Congress led to the reunion in 1911. This failed attempt to partition Bengal has the consequence of shifting the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi. This triggered off hectic movement for freedom which culminated in independence in 1947, and partition. After 1947, the merger of the native princely states began which ended with its final reorganization in 1956 (as per recommendations of the States Reorganization Act, 1956) when some Bengali speaking © 2020 Pratiyogita Abhiyan | All Rights Reserved | pratiyogitaabhiyan.in areas of a neighboring state Bihar were transferred to West Bengal in the form of the district of Puruliya. Geography of Bengal Lying on the eastern region of the country the geographical location boundary of the state extends between latitudes 21°38' and 27°10' north, longitudes 85°50' and 89°50' east, at the head of the Bay of Bengal. On the north the great Himalayas stand guard with rampart like segments up-to 800 ft. The entire Bengal basin is that part of the great Indian shield, which approximately to the east of longitude 87° E, where it disappears below the blanket of Gangetic alluvium.

The essays by erudite academicians and research scholars probe deeply into assorted aspects of modern global issues of Identity, Culture and History, a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with cross references that connect Literature with Culture and History of various works of authors dealing with cultural aspects and Identity crisis globally. Diversified poems, novels and plays written by authors throw light on the current burning issue of diaspora and cultural conflicts. The younger generation will glean awareness on various sensitive issues like marginalization and trauma of migration that confronts people today. I am sure this book will give numerous ideas which will be an eye opener to many issues through a plethora of literary genres.
