Medieval and Bengali Literature: Exploring the nature of some important events /মধ্যযুগ ও বাংলা সাহিত্য : কয়েকটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ঘটনার স্বরূপসন্ধান

Abstract

Literature is life-based. History is created at the pace of ongoing life. Literature and history in the same body—the combination of these two forms is the history of literature. The perspective of some important events of the Middle Ages and their inevitable manifestation in literature— the nature of the coexistence of these two is the essence of this article. The reason for the bitterness of the dark age is not only the Turks, but also the arrogance of the intelligent Brahmins, their bias towards Sanskrit and their aversion to Bengali. When the Bengalis devastated by the Turkish invasion in Bengal were making a feeble attempt to breathe in the Bengali language, the scholar Vidyapati's verses written in Brajbuli established a connection between Bangla and Mithila. The writers of Chaitanya's life have presented contradictory information about death of Chaitanya. The search for new elements of history and the inquisitive minds of later times may give rise to some other new views. Until then, it is very important for us to rise above religious sentiments and reach the conclusion that even the incarnation dies. The movement of Gaurachandrika and Palakirtan, introduced by Kheturi, began to grow from the 16th century. At that time, a compiled Pala book was needed. As a result, several collections of Padavali were found in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. These collections of Padavali are a special treasure of medieval Bengali literature. The period of the Bargi uprising in Bangladesh is from 1742 to 1749 AD. The atrocities of the Bargis led by Bhaskar Pandit were a disaster for the public mind of Bangladesh. The story of the cruel atrocities of the Bargis is narrated in two poems of that time. One is Chitrachampu by Pandit Baneshwar Vidyalanka and the other is a Maharashtrapuran by Gangaram Sen. The stories of Gopal Bhand, passed down orally to satisfy the original and genuine interest in listening to stories, are a different experience, as well as evidence of the inner currents of the minds of people in the eighteenth century.
