Journalist, cartoonist Chandi Lahiri has tried to write a compilation about Bengal through the eyes of foreigners who came to India during this one hundred year period from 1757 to 1857. This text is not the result of any original research, but rather a collection of gems selected from the writings of various authors. The reason why this book is so important is that it is rare to find several hundred books written by foreigners who came to Bengal during this hundred years, and even if found, extracting the extract from them is a very difficult task. Chandi Babu has done this task effortlessly and has brought him in front of the Bengali readers with his unique and elegant prose.
