Years: 1108 - 1251

The Senas, orthodox and militant Hindus, replace the Buddhist Palas as rulers of a united Bengal until the Turkish conquest in 1202.

Opposed to the Brahmanic Hinduism of the Senas with its rigid caste system, vast numbers of Bengalis, especially those from the lower castes, will later convert to Islam.
