Richard Eaton’s The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204–1760

Why is eastern Bengal predominantly Muslim, while western Bengal remains predominantly Hindu, despite centuries of Muslim rule in both?

offers a fascinating explanation. The answer lies in shifting rivers, agricultural expansion, Mughal land grants and the indigenous population inhabiting the eastern delta. As forests gave way to farmland, new settlements emerged, often around Muslim pirs and religious institutions. Over generations, Islamic beliefs blended with indigenous traditions, gradually transforming religious identities. Later, reform movements and increasing contact with the Arab world encouraged a more distinct Islamic identity. A fascinating account of how geography, economics, politics and culture shaped Bengal’s religious history. Far more complex than the familiar narrative of conquest and conversion. #richardeaton #mustreads #instabook
