Bengal Divided

In Bengal Divided, the author brings alive the personalities that dominated politics in the years that followed, throwing new light on historical facts and events in the turbulent pre-independence period. He dissects the process by which two separate identities were forged, culminating in the creation of East Pakistan in 1947 and Bangladesh in 1971. As the tale unfolds, so do the roles of personalities such as Chittaranjan Das, Subhas Chandra Bose, Nazrul Islam, Fazlul Huq, H.S. Suhrawardy and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The underlying sentiment of the book is a desire to see—even if political separation continues—much greater interaction in terms of common culture, shared history and geography and economic complementarity.
