The fragmentation of Bengal and Assam in 1947 was a crucial moment
in India's socio-political history as a nation state. Both the
British Indian provinces were divided as much through the actions
of the Muslim League as by those of Congress and the British
colonial power. Attributing partition largely to Hindu communalists
is, therefore, historically inaccurate and factually misleading.
The Partition of Bengal and Assam provides a review of
constitutional and party politics as well as of popular attitudes
and perceptions. The primary aim of this book is to unravel the
intricate socio-economic and political processes that led up to
partition, as Hindus and Muslims competed ferociously for the new
power and privileges to be conferred on them with independence. As
shown in the book, well before they divorced at a political level,
Hindus and Muslims had been cleaved apart by their socio-economic
differences. Partition was probably inevitable.
