Tell me about the history of Bangladesh and recommend some exceptional sources you know.what kind of people lived in ancient Bangladesh? Did they have any civilization or anything significant for us to marvel at? and what kind of race and ethnicity are they part of? I suspect they are basically Indians.and something that caught me by surprise is that their language is Indo-European. How did they end up adopting the Indo-European language? Was there a migration there or something? and do we have evidence of any parallels of Indo-European base mythology in Bangladeshi literature? and lastly, have you ever traveled to Bangladesh? I plan to go there in a few weeks. Is it as bad as India?
>>16892073They are a mix of Indian and Thai-like people. and no, there has never been any IE migration in the region, the climate is not conducive to euros. they got their language from the Indians.And regarding their history, they were basically fishermen since the Middle Ages and had no advanced civilization and then they became Muslims, which makes them a little better than the Dravidians

>>16892073The first sternpost rudder?"In eastern India during the first millennium, clay seals may have served as warrants or guarantees for the consignment of goods. The ship depicted here is an ocean-going vessel of stitched-plank construction, with a single mast and stern lateral rudder, widely used in the Indian Ocean in this period. This seal, found in central Thailand, bears witness to the maritime trade between South Asia and the Mon territories of Thailand. A number of such Indian artifacts found in central Thailand suggest a significant presence of Indian and other foreign merchants in the region.""A Chandraketugarh (West Bengal) seal dated between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD depicts a steering mechanism on a ship named ''Indra of the Ocean'' (Jaladhisakra), which indicates that it was a sea-bound vessel."
