Ancient Bengal was the seat of Buddhism.〔Sailen Debnath, 'Essays on Cultural History of North Bengal', ISBN 978-81-86860-42-7〕 During the Mauryan period, Pundrobhordhon, corresponding northern Bengal, was the seat of culture and political activities; and in the third century B.C. both of Buddhism and Jainism were prevalent in northern Bengal. This hinduism tradition continued for centuries up to the end of the Pala period.The period was marked by the establishment of some Buddhist colleges and universities, the remains of one of which still can be found at Paharpur. From the twelfth century, under royal patronage of the Sena rulers, there was the revival of Brahmanical Hinduism; and because of the introduction of Kulinism and torture on the Buddhists and Yogis, the path was made ready for the spread of Islam from the thirteenth century onward. With the elapse of time, Shoktism became very prominent in Bengal; and from the end of the fifteenth century, Vaishnavism also grew to be popular under the leadership of Shri Chaitanya.〔 Centuries after the demise of Chaitanya, Bhoktibedantoshami Prabhupada made Bengal's Vaishnavism a factor of Krishna consciousness all over the world. There are many bhajans (devotional prayers to Bhagoban, Supreme Personality of Krishno, and his devotees), which are written in Bengali language.
Islam first arrived in Bengal during the 8th century AD. Bengal first came under Muslim rule during the early 13th century and remained so till the beginning of British rule in the mid 18th century.
Christianity first arrived in the 16th century, and spread with the efforts of the Portuguese missionaries. During the British Rule in the 18th century, many prominent Bengalis converted to Christianity including Krishna Mohan Banerjee, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, and Gnanendramohan Tagore. Bengali Christians played a significant role in the Bengali renaissance.
