A proposito di questo titolo

In the pilot episode of The Hidden History of Bengal, Lucas and Luna begin at a specific moment: the monsoon of 1576, where the last independent Sultan of Bengal, Daud Khan Karrani, faces the Mughal army at the Battle of Rajmahal. From there, they pull back to explore Bengal's geography—the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, the Sundarbans mangrove forest—and its ancient past: the rise of the Gauda kingdom, the Buddhist Pala Empire (8th–12th centuries) that ruled from Vikramapura, and the Sena dynasty that followed. The conversation touches on Bengal's role as a crossroads of trade, its Gangaetic plain produced rice and silk, and its early encounters with Arab merchants and Sufi saints. Lucas explains why Bengal's history matters: it was one of the wealthiest regions in the world before colonialism, a crucible of syncretic culture, and later a flashpoint for revolution. The episode teases future topics including the Bengal Sultanate's golden age, the Portuguese and British entry, the 1943 famine, and the Bengali Language Movement. It's a rich, scene-setting conversation that asks: what makes a region's history hidden, and what do we miss when we ignore it?
