Akshay Kumar Maitreya wrote the historical novel Gour Lekhamala.
In the book ‘Gour Lekhamala’, the author translated and edited the copperplate inscriptions and inscriptions of the Pal dynasty into Bengali, presenting the unknown history of ancient Brahmadesh. In this way, he opened a new door of historical research in the Bengali language. In 1904, he was elected as the vice-president of the Bengali Sahitya Parishad and in 1911 as a distinguished member.
Akshay Kumar Maitreya was a powerful historian in the pursuit of Bengali history in the 20th century. However, it would be wrong to call him only a historian, he was also a writer, archaeologist, art lover, dramatist and orator. He refuted the dishonest efforts of imperialist writers to censor Bengali history and made it stand on the dock of reason like a fair judge. No one before him could present the history of Bengal in this scientific manner.
He tried to remove the national stigma by making the alien attempt to consider past events as true, but not true, into a logical argument. And he introduced the discussion of Bengali history in the light of uncontroversial thinking by adopting European scientific methods. Archaeological investigations, collection of artifacts and research for the reconstruction of the history of ancient Bengal and India dominated Bengali history research in the 19th century. He was a strong proponent of this trend of Barendra Mandal.
Which period is identified as the emergence of Bengali modern historical consciousness?
He made permanent contributions to the history of ancient Bengal, archaeology, anthropology, literature and philosophy in various branches of humanities. If we look at his vast writing style, it is seen that he wrote and edited more than twenty books. He emerged as a powerful writer by writing about two hundred articles in the best Bengali and English newspapers of contemporary India. Siraj-ud-Daula, Mir Qasim, Samar Singh, Sitaram Roy, Firingi Banik, Rani Bhavani, Bharat Shilper Katha, Agnyaabad etc. are historical books written by Akshay Kumar.
In the context of the strengthening of British and colonial rule in India and Bengal, the new socio-economic structure, under the influence of Western thought, philosophy of life and knowledge and science, gave rise to the study of modern history in Bengal. The period from 1800 to 1870 is identified as the period of emergence of modern historical consciousness of Bengalis. Beyond the famous European historians, in the 19th century, Akshay Kumar Dutta, Rajendra Lal Mitra, Ramesh Chandra Dutta and others and Bengali scholars focused on the pursuit and practice of history. The research on Bengali history in the 19th century went through a multi-dimensional experiment and reached a new level in the 20th century. The modern era of Bengali historical consciousness began after it came into contact with modern European civilization. And one of the dream charioteers of this expeditionary group was the famous Bengali historian Akshay Kumar Maitreya.
