r2i forum

Thanks

Anyone know of any sources that can help explain the spread of Islam in Bengal (particularly in East Bengal, now Bangladesh). Area wise, East Bengal isn't small, and there must have been a huge muslim population for the powers-that-be to consider making it part of Pakistan (Surawardi's Direct Action ...
