Capitals Of Bengal Before Calcutta, Some Famous, Some Lost, Some Not Found
While researching for his first book, Zamindars and Nawabs of Bengal, the author came across numerous names of erstwhile capitals in Bengal, which inspired him to write this book. The time span covered in this work exceeds 3,000 years. The region known as Bengal during these centuries encompassed present-day West Bengal, Bangladesh, and parts of Odisha, Assam, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Before Calcutta became the capital, there were forty-five known capitals. This book includes the history of thirty-five of them, as lack of information led to the exclusion of ten others. Of the thirty-five capitals, fourteen are in West Bengal, sixteen in Bangladesh, and one each in Bihar and Jharkhand. The book chronicles the history of these capitals and their inhabitants. Most of these capitals were thriving cities with amenities that were on par with, if not more advanced than, contemporary capitals around the world.

Queer Politics in Times of New Authoritarianisms
Queerness remains a central fault line in contemporary South Asia. Colonial-era ‘anti-sodomy’ laws, codified in Article 377 of the penal codes in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, or Article 365 in Sri Lanka, exemplify the shared imperial lineages of the region as also their long postcolonial afterlives. Across South Asia and the world, new authoritarianisms have reignited old fault lines around sexuality. New media technologies have increasingly connected diasporic space with mainland South Asia, globalising queer networks. Yet, these trajectories are necessarily discontinuous. In the last two decades whilst there has been an explosion of LGBTQ+ visibility most notably in South Asian film...
