The Formation of Bengal Civilization: A Glimpse on the Socio-Cultural Assimilations Through Political Progressions in Bengal Delta

Yıl 2017, Cilt: 2 Sayı: 2, 1 - 12, 27.12.2017

The
Bengal Delta is a place of many migrations, cultural transformations, invasions
and religious revolutions since prehistoric time. With the help of
archaeological and historical records, this essay present the hypothesis that,
albeit there were multiple waves of large and small scale socio-cultural
assimilations, every socio-political change did not brought equal formidable
outcome in the Delta. The study further illustrates that, the majority of cultural
components were formulated by Indigenous-Aryan-Buddhist assimilations in early
phase, whereas the Buddhist-Aryan-Islamic admixtures in relatively forbearing
and gracious socio-political background of medieval period contributed the
final part in the formation of Bengal Civilization.

Bengal Medeniyeti'nin Oluşumu: Bengal Deltasında Siyasi İlerlemeler Yoluyla Sosyo-Kültürel Asimilasyonlara Bir Kısa Bakış

Bengal
Deltası, tarih öncesi çağlardan beri birçok göç, kültürel dönüşümler, istilalar
ve dini devrimlerin bulunduğu bir yer olmaktadır. Arkeolojik ve tarihsel
kayıtların yardımı ile bu araştırma, büyük ve küçük ölçekli sosyo-kültürel
asimilasyonların birden çok dalgası olsa da, her sosyo-politik değişim Delta'da
aynı dereceli sonuçlara yol açmadığının hipotezini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu
çalışma ayrıca, kültürel bileşenlerin çoğunluğunun ilk evrede
yerli-Aryan-Budist asimilasyonları tarafından formüle edildiği ve Ortaçağ
döneminin hoşgörülü ve zarif sosyo-politik arka planında yer alan
Budist-Aryan-İslam harmanin Bengal Medeniyet oluşumunun nihai görevlerini
yapmasını göstermektedir.
