The Unseen Tributaries

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

Bengal, a land of unparalleled beauty and rich cultural heritage, has a history that is as diverse and fascinating as its landscape. From its earliest settlements to the present day, Bengal has been shaped by the interplay of various political, social, and cultural forces. This book takes you on a journey through the centuries, exploring the key moments and developments that have shaped this remarkable region.

In the 13th century, Islam arrived in Bengal, marking a turning point in its history. The spread of Islam was a gradual process, facilitated by the region's vibrant trading networks and the tolerant policies of its rulers. Over time, Islam became deeply ingrained in Bengali culture, leaving a lasting impact on the region's art, architecture, and literature.

The 16th century saw the rise of the Mughal Empire, which brought about a period of centralized administration, economic growth, and cultural flourishing. The Mughal period also witnessed the emergence of Dhaka as a major trading hub and the rise of a new Bengali Muslim elite.

The 18th century marked the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the British East India Company. The Company's territorial ambitions in Bengal eventually led to the Battle of Plassey in 1757, which resulted in the Company's victory and the establishment of British rule in Bengal. The British Raj brought about significant changes in Bengal, including the introduction of Western education, the rise of Bengali nationalism, and the growth of the Bengali Muslim middle class.

The 20th century witnessed the struggle for independence from British rule. The Muslim League played a key role in mobilizing Bengali Muslims in support of the Pakistan Movement. However, the partition of Bengal in 1947 led to the creation of East Pakistan, which faced significant economic and political challenges. In 1971, East Pakistan gained independence as Bangladesh, marking a new chapter in the region's history.

Today, Bangladesh is a vibrant democracy with a rich cultural heritage and a bright future. Despite the challenges it has faced, Bangladesh has made significant progress in recent decades, experiencing strong economic growth, improved literacy rates, and increased access to healthcare and education.

**The Unseen Tributaries** is a comprehensive and engaging account of Bengal's history, from its earliest settlements to the present day. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of this fascinating region.

The Super Cadres - ANC Misrule...

Pieter Du Toit

The ANC’s obsession with cadre deployment and total control has taken South Africa to the brink of destruction. 
  
After taking power, the ANC implemented its policy of cadre deployment. It sought command of all levers of power, from the Cabinet, through the civil service, down to municipal level. 
  
Despite the party recently lasing its majority, cadre deployment will ensure that the ANC maintains its iron grip on power and patronage, and it remains fused with the state. 
  
In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit exposes how Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki laid the foundation for complete ANC control of the state, how Jacob Zuma's ANC exploited it and why Cyril Ramaphosa is complicit in the destruction that followed. 
  
It is a searing critique of the ANC's desire for untrammelled power.
