History of Sylhet is a history about a division in Bangladesh. The contents of the book include such as : naming, location, some kingdoms, tribes, Dravidian and Aryan age, Maithili Brahmans, seven organised gotras, Shah Jalal (R), Sri Chaitanya, Assam Legistrative Assembly, partition of India, Sylhet divison, population, religion, Sylheti language, education, literacy rate, culture, agriculture, tea, newspapers, places of interest, river, haor, hills, communications, literature, Sylheti Nagri and Nagri writers, Chorjyapod, Mohabharot, Mongol Kabyo, Boishnob literature, literature in copper plates, some old and new writers of Sylhet division [900AD-1975AD], thanas, police stations and Sylhet, Habiganj, Sunamganj and Moulavibazar districts. The book concludes with references, bibliography and appendix. The readers can gather important informations from the appendix as well. References of one hundred eleven sources with bibliography consisting of 30, have been placed before the appendix. The writer claims, "This is the first book of its kind in English, which has been done by an individual." He means history of Sylhet covering multi-dimensional broad-based information here when he says 'the first book of its kind in English' which is the result of endeavour of 'an individual'.The writer mentions his commitment, "I have devoted my time to find the roots of Sylhet and Sylheti's. I would be very pleased if my readers feel at comfort with us. I tried to tell this in a way that some one could see it from scratch, who doesn't even know the area and culture of Sylheti's or Bangali's."Thus 'History of Sylhet' can be marked as a root-searching representation of Sylhet--its origin, history and culture. There are some important pictures including maps of the districts of Sylhet division. The book 'History of Sylhet' has been dedicated to Hazrat Shah Jalal (R), who, with his associates was a great pioneer in preaching Islam in Sylhet and adjacent areas.
