Actually few understand, be they Indians or Pakistanis, the fierce identity preservation, be it language, culture, literature or whatever, instinct that Bengalis have, no matter what is their religionTrue that Bangalis fought bravely for Pakistan and we acknowledge their offers, striggle and suffering like brothers. But the creators of Pakistan or the British did not think of the fact that having two wings seperated by 1.600 miles of. Ery hostile enemy would be alogistic, economic, political and military nightmare. Alianation and seperation was inevitable and if Jinnah would have been more pragmatic, he would have advised Dhaka to go independantfrom the very beginning. She could still have adopted the name East Pakistan and become a souvreign nation.
People who are shallow yet bombastic are not aware of how the Partition of Bengal by Curzon was overturned and negated by Bengalis!
Nor of the desire of Sarat Bose who resigned from the AICC in disagreement over the Cabinet Mission Plan's call to partition Bengal between Hindu-majority and Muslim-majority regions. He attempt to construct a bid for a united but independent Bengal with Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the Bengali Muslim League leader. However, this received no support from the Congress or the League, nor providentially from the common public.
