This book is a collection of some of the published papers of the
author, published mostly abroad, and unravels some significant yet
hitherto neglected aspects of history, culture and religion of
Bihar and Bengal: two areas that were connected through an
intricate network of rivers. Themes looked into are: early historic
urbanisation in the Mithila plains of North Bihar; the social
history of Brahmanical religious institutions (temples and Mathas)
in early medieval Bihar and Bengal; the social history of Buddhist
monasticism in early medieval Bihar and Bengal; the integration of
a local goddess into the institutional fabric of Mahayana Buddhism;
the survival of Buddhism in the thirteenth and fourteenth century
AD; pilgrimage from Central India and Deccan to a Hindu pil grimage
centre of Bihar in the medieval period; and the debate on the
Islamisation of medieval eastern Bengal. Please note: Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,
Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
