India, Pakistan and Bangladesh share a long history, an emerging cordial relationship and a common vision for the future. This book is not India-centric but deals with various aspects of the three sovereign nations. Reading them together will be an unprecedented experience rarely attempted before. It has rarely happened in the modern world how three nations who were geographically one but culturally so different are chalking out an independent place in the comity of nations at time with the help of each other and at another on its own merit and inherent strength. It is not written from any biased perspective. In fact it explains people, places and events from a neutral world view. It is ideally an international venture that would benefit historians, teachers and students in the entire subcontinent. It will be interesting to compare the three countries from different parameters thus placing a wholesome picture. The encyclopaedia aims at clearing confusions and contradictions that have crept in because of certain vested interests and it should be read from a neutral benchmark.
