The book delves into the industrial history of Bengal, addressing the lack of literature on its development post-industrial revolution. It investigates whether Bengal's industries declined during the British industrial period and explores the reasons behind their resilience amidst technological advancements. Additionally, it scrutinizes the contentious topic of deindustrialization in Bengal, evaluating two main hypotheses: market failures versus imperialistic state interventions. This comprehensive analysis aims to shed light on the complexities of Bengal's industrial trajectory.
