The Historical Dictionary of Bangladesh by Syedur Rahman, published in 2010, is the fourth edition of this comprehensive reference work. It offers an extensive overview of Bangladesh’s political, social, and cultural history, with over 700 cross-referenced entries on important people, events, places, and institutions. The dictionary spans from ancient times to contemporary developments, including the pre-Muslim period, Islamic rule, the era of British India, the time as East Pakistan, and finally independence in 1971.

This edition provides detailed appendices, including lists of key figures such as rulers from different historical periods and winners of Bangladesh’s Independence Day Award (Swadhinata Padak). It also includes a rich bibliography, a 36-page introduction that outlines the nation’s history, and a chronology tracking key events up to 2009.
