Bangaler Itihas : Aadi Parba by Niharranjan Roy [Hardcover]

This is the last book on the ancient history of Bengal, and it marks the ultimate culmination of the Bengali pursuit of history... The diversity of the subject matter, the depth of discussion, and the profundity of insight make it incomparable to any other book. The intellectual endeavors of foreign scholars like Wilkins, J. Colebrooke, and others, the inspiration of Bankim and Rabindranath, the research of Rajendralal and Haraprasad, and the efforts of Akshaykumar, Rakhaldas, and Rameshchandra—all have culminated in Nihar Ranjan’s Bangali'r Itihash (History of the Bengalis).
