Abstract :

The state of early history of Bengal was not pleasing till the middle of 19th century. The reason after that was not scarcity of the rudiments of writing history, but fairly, the lack of investigation. Varendra Research Society was established in 1910, which not only built a depository for the ingredients of writing the ancient history of Bengal, rather, itself became the beacon bearer who showed the path of writing the ancient history of Bengal on the basis of original evidence. To achieve that landmark, the VRS(Varendra Research Society) unearthed and collected antiquities and original documents through –) Exploration & Excavation. In fact, VRS excavated some important sites of Northern Bengal and contributed to laid bare historicity of the same.
