Theme
This book emphasises the distinct pluralistic history, culture, and Mithila identity. Mithila as a 'desha' has been celebrated and considered this 'desha' an integral part of Bhartvarsha from the initial. Later in the twentieth century, the term desha started being considered in a different sense.
In this book, there is a long list of biographies of personalities who have contributed to Mithila culture, identity and landscape. The author has also thrown light on the discussion on the language and dialect (dialect and language) of Mithila regions. How the masses and elites were talking and using language as expression. Persian, Sanskrit, Arabic and Urdu were an integral part of then Mithila culture but the local dialect was 'Ganwari' boli.
The book also traces the rise of Muzaffarpur as a centre of modernity and Western education. The role of Maithili Brahmins, Muslims and Bengalis in the formation of culture has been discussed in detail. [3]
This book's content is based on records, documents and surveys of the villages that author himself have conducted for five years. This book contains descriptive information related to pond, water irrigation land, indigo cultivation, farming and the condition of farmers. [4]
