About the Book:

• Banglar Dwadosh Bhowmik O Somokalin Bhumi Bybostha explores the land revenue administration and the socio-economic history of Bengal during the period of the "Dwadosh Bhowmik" or the twelve ruling families.

• The book highlights the significance of this era in Bengal's history, focusing on the role of the land system and revenue administration in shaping the region's socio-political dynamics.

• One of the key features of this period was the widespread exploitation of peasants, which led to numerous farmer rebellions. These uprisings were central to the social unrest of the time.

• The land system during this era gave rise to various social institutions that governed societal relationships, some of which were later examined by the British rulers as potential “little republics.”

• The contrast between indigenous traditions and foreign governance perspectives—especially during the late 16th to early 18th centuries—made the period complex and multifaceted, which this book examines in depth.

• The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive study of the land systems and the socio-economic conditions that shaped the historical landscape of Bengal during this transformative era.

This book is essential for readers interested in the socio-economic history of Bengal, particularly in relation to land administration and its impact on the lives of the peasants and social structures of the time.
