I believe if our leaders would be wise enough, it was possible to create the greater United bangla as sohrawardi proposed.
I read that the hindutva ideology of vinay savarkarkar was responsible for the partition of bengal.
And also I believe that Bengali muslim leaders were too fond of their western counter part. Otherwise all movement were led by Bengalis yet, we got a tiny amount of land and huge huge population .
Who knows maybe others together (British, Hindus and muslim league leaders of Western side).
The benefit is if muslim league leaders agree, then that will help them getting sindh that was hindu majority state, so maybe they made a plan together and deprived us. Otherwise the proposal of sohrawardi was strong enough to form United Bengal.
And the British revenge was actually against sipahi mutiny I believe. It's Bengali Muslims who lead every anti British movement, so probably they didn't like us.
@Homo Sapiens, what say you ? Can't it be true that all side was responsible for the failure of the plan of sohrawardi?
If sindh can be part of Pakistan and mass migration can happen, then it was possible for us to get the 7 sisters and West Bengal by exchanging other muslim peoples from Bihar and orissa, as all were part of subah bangla.
