  abstract: This volume explores the process of social changes which unfolded in rural society of early medieval Bengal, especially the formation of stratified land relations and occupational groups which later got systematized as jātis. One of the first books to systematically reconstruct the early history of the region, this book presents a history of commerce, economy, politics, law, culture, religion and social order of early medieval Bengal through a comprehensive study of land and society. It traces the changing power relations among constituents of rural society and political institutions, and unravels the contradictions growing among them. The author describes the changing forms of agrarian development which were deeply associated with these overarching structures and offers an in-depth analysis of a wide range of textual sources in Sanskrit and other languages as well as contemporary inscriptions pertaining to Bengal. The volume will be an essential resource for researchers and academics interested in medieval history, especially of Bengal, and the social and cultural history of early south Asia and India.
