This area today is home to the world's second-largest Muslim ethnic population. How and why did such a large Muslim population emerge there? And how does such a religious conversion take place? Richard Eaton uses archaeological evidence, monuments, narrative histories, poetry, and Mughal administrative documents to trace the long historical encounter between Islamic and Indic civilizations.Moving from the year 1204, when Persianized Turks from North India annexed the former Hindu states of the lower Ganges delta, to 1760, when the British East India Company rose to political dominance there, Eaton explores these moving frontiers, focusing especially on agrarian growth and religious change. 410 0$aComparative studies on Muslim societies ;$vVolume 17. 606 $aIslam$zIndia$zBengal$xHistory 607 $aBengal (India)$xHistory 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 676 $a954.14 700 $aEaton$b Richard Maxwell$0665906 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495963003321 996 $aThe Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204-1760$92382687 997 $aUNINA
