It had previously been known as East Pakistan, and prior to that it was part of British India. It has been inhabited by people of different races and religions and ruled over by different leaders who imposed different regimes. It is overpopulated and underdeveloped, but there is much more to it than that. Bangladesh has a long and oftentimes proud tradition: it has produced writers and artists of genius, and it is an important outpost of Islam. And, with a population of some 130 million, it is one of the larger countries in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe fourth edition of the \u003ci\u003eHistorical Dictionary of Bangladesh\u003c\/i\u003e greatly expands on the previous edition through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, events, and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Syedur Rahman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810867664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810867666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarecrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 118","brand":"Syedur Rahman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059800535295,"sku":"9780810867666","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5a93859-35b0-4033-8bc6-17601a3a8c8e.jpg?v=1685060413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-bangladesh-fourth-syedur-rahman-9780810867666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
