Given its distance from Delhi, Bengal was always seen as a frontier
region of Muslim India. However, not only was it the richest state
in Hindustan, but at one time the number of Muslims in Bengal was
higher than any other part of the Muslim world. Being so far from
the traditional centres of Islamic learning and history, how and
why did such a large Muslim population emerge there?
This one-day intensive course will provide an overview of the
following subjects: Bengal before Islam; The Early Sultanate;
Bengal under the Mughals until the Battle of Plessey; Conversion
to Islam and Establishment of Islam in Bengal; Economy, Society
and Culture; and more.
*Muhammad Mojlum Khan is an award-winning writer, literary critic and
research scholar, he has published more than 100 essays and articles
worldwide. He is the author of several books and research papers including
the widely acclaimed The Muslim 100: The Lives, Thoughts and Achievements
of the Most Influential Muslims in History (2008, reprinted 2009, 2010)
and The Muslim Heritage of Bengal. Hailed as having "filled a gap in
modern Islamic authorship", The Publishers Weekly also considered The
Muslim 100 to be of "immeasurable value…with innovative insights" and
recommended the book to all the public libraries in the United States.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain, a Member
of English PEN, and a Founding Director of the Bengal Muslim Research
Institute UK (BMRI).
