Abstract
According to its abstract, the article describes Bengal as having ‘a distinct culture evolved through a long process of hybridization’, and the Sultanate period (1342–1576 CE) as one in which traditional elements blended with Islamic culture. It explores the continuity of Bengal’s culture in religion, literature, music and architecture from the ancient to the Sultanate period, and argues that the pond adjacent to almost every Sultanate mosque confirms the continuity of Bengali tradition ‘for a practical cause’.
