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. \u003cem data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"614\"\u003eThe Partition of Bengal and Assam\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1194\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1153\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780367239060\u003cbr data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1170\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1184\"\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49886045995312,"sku":"Sarat_9780367239060","price":1271.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-the-partition-of-bengal-and-assam-1932-1947-41110256582960.jpg?v=1775962490","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-partition-of-bengal-and-assam-1932-1947","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
