Bengal Divided - Hindu Communalism and Partition, 1932-1947 (Paperback, New Ed)

In an original and compelling account of the political and social processes that led to the demand for Partition in Bengal, the author traces the rise of Hindu communalism and shows how a large and powerful section of Hindu society in Bengal insisted that their province be divided so as to create a separate Hindu homeland. The picture that emerges is one of a stratified and fragmented society moving away from the mainstream of Indian nationalism, and increasingly preoccupied with narrower and more parochial concerns.
