The historical framework of A Comprehensive History of Modern Bengal, 1700-1950 deals with three thematically distinct periods-the decline and fall of the Nawabi regime in Bengal and the remaking of the polity of Bengal in volume I (1700-93); the reawakening of Bengal in volume II (1793-1905); and the freedom struggle against the British Raj in volume III (1905-50). However, these three volumes are structured such that they allow for over lapping's in the periods covered, going back and forth in time: themes and narratives often move seamlessly from one volume to the other, retaining their coherence and inter-connectedness.
