The time span covered in this work exceeds 3,000 years. The region known as Bengal during these centuries encompassed present-day West Bengal, Bangladesh, and parts of Odisha, Assam, Bihar, and Jharkhand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore Calcutta became the capital, there were forty-five known capitals. This book includes the history of thirty-five of them, as lack of information led to the exclusion of ten others. Of the thirty-five capitals, fourteen are in West Bengal, sixteen in Bangladesh, and one each in Bihar and Jharkhand. The book chronicles the history of these capitals and their inhabitants. Most of these capitals were thriving cities with amenities that were on par with, if not more advanced than, contemporary capitals around the world\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samir Ganguli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9367835086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789367835081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bluerose Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.34d","brand":"Samir Ganguli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800824688895,"sku":"9789367835081","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitals-of-bengal-before-calcutta-samir-ganguli-9789367835081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
