বাংলা ও তার ফারসি উত্তরাধিকার
আমরা সবাই জানি অষ্টম শতক থেকে আরব ব্যবসায়ী ও ধর্মপ্রচারকদের সঙ্গে ইসলামি সংস্কৃতি বাংলায় প্রবেশ করেছিল। তবে ১২০৪ সাল থেকে এর প্রভাব ব্যাপকভাবে অনুভূত হয় কারণ এই সময় ইখতিয়ারউদ্দিন মুহাম্মদ বিন বখতিয়ার খিলজি বাংলার সেন বংশকে উৎখাত করে শাসন ক্ষমতা দখল করেন। এভাবে বাংলা হয়ে ওঠে দিল্লির নব্য প্রতিষ্ঠিত সুলতান বংশের অন্যতম পূর্বতম প্রদেশ। এই সুলতানি বংশ আবার প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল পারস্যায়িত তুর্কদের হাতে । এই বিজয় এক নতুন যুগের সূচনা করেছিল।
