'''United Bengal''' was a proposal to transform [[Bengal Presidency|Bengal Province]] into an undivided, sovereign state at the time of the [[Partition of India]] in 1947. It sought to prevent the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|division of Bengal on religious grounds]]. The proposed state was to be called the Free State of Bengal. A [[Confessionalism (politics)|confessionalist]] political system was mooted. The proposal was not put up for a vote. The British government proceeded to partition Bengal in accordance with the [[Mountbatten Plan]] and [[Radcliffe Line]].

==Background==
[[File:BengalPartition1905 Map.png|thumb|Map showing the result of the partition of Bengal in 1905. The western part (Bengal) gained parts of Orissa, while the eastern part (Eastern Bengal and Assam) gained Assam that had been made a separate province in 1874.]]
In the first few centuries of the [[second millennium]], the level of independence of Bengal was fought over by the governors of Bengal and by the [[Delhi Sultanate|rulers of Delhi]]. Bengal finally emerged as an independent [[polity]] with the establishment of the [[Sultanate of Bengal]] formed from the unification of three principalities;<ref name="Ahmed, ABM Shamsuddin">((cite Banglapedia |article=Iliyas Shah |author=Ahmed, ABM Shamsuddin))</ref> [[Satgaon]] (western Bengal), [[Lakhnauti#Independent Lakhnauti|Lakhnauti]] (northern Bengal) and [[Sonargaon#Sonargaon Sultanate (14th century)|Sonargaon]] (eastern Bengal), by Sultan [[Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah]] in 1352.<ref name="Tabori1957">((cite journal |last=Tabori |first=Paul |year=1957 |title=Bridge, Bastion, or Gate |journal=Bengali Literary Review |volume=3–5 |pages=9–20))</ref>

A watershed in the Bengali sultanate's history was the rise of the [[Sur Empire|Sur]] and [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] empires, which greatly weakened Bengal, with the two empires formally annexing Bengal in 1538 and 1576 respectively. Despite the loss of independence, a loose confederacy of fiercely independent ''[[zamindars]]'' led by [[Isa Khan]] refused to submit to Mughal hegemony, thus extending the complete conquest of Bengal to as late as the mid-17th century.<ref>((Cite book |author=Tapan Raychaudhuri |author-link=Tapan Raychaudhuri |year=1953 |title=Bengal under Akbar and Jahangir: An Introductory Study in Social History |location=Calcutta |publisher=A. Mukherjee |page=1 |oclc=5585437))</ref> The [[Bengal Subah]] emerged as the most prosperous province of the Mughal Empire but as a result of the empire weakening, it re-emerged as an independent state under the [[Nawabs of Bengal]] from 1717 onwards. Bengal was lost to [[British India|British]] powers after 1772 which reorganised the borders of the former Bengal Subah. The [[Treaty of Yandabo]] in 1826 facilitated the transfer of the former Bengal Subah's southeastern frontier (which stretched up to [[Akyab]] and the [[Kaladan River]]) to [[British Burma]].<ref>((cite book |title=The Rohingya Crisis: Analyses, Responses, and Peacebuilding Avenues |page=37 |author1=Ahmed, Kawser |author2=Mohiuddin, Helal |year=2019 |publisher=[[Lexington Books]] |isbn=9781498585750))</ref> Following the [[British annexation of Assam]] in 1838, the Bengali districts of [[Goalpara region|Goalpara]] and [[Sylhet Division|Sylhet]] were transferred to the newly established [[North-East Frontier]] (later Assam Province).

The [[Partition of Bengal (1905)|partition in 1905]] reunited these districts with eastern Bengal through the formation of two new provinces; [[Eastern Bengal and Assam]] and [[West Bengal|Western Bengal]]. However, this was strongly protested by Bengalis and the authorities assented to reversing this partition in 1912.<ref>((cite book |author=David Ludden |title=India and South Asia: a short history |year=2013 |publisher=Oneworld Publications|page=158))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy.png|thumb|[[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]], the last [[Prime Minister of Bengal]]]]
On 27 April 1947, [[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]], the [[Prime Minister of Bengal]] and a [[Bengal Provincial Muslim League|Muslim League]] leader, addressed a press conference in New Delhi outlining his opposition to the looming [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]] under the British government's plans. At the press conference, Suhrawardy made an impassioned plea for setting aside religious differences in order to create an "independent, undivided, and sovereign Bengal".<ref name="scroll1947">((cite news |author=Shoaib Daniyal |url=https://scroll.in/article/907754/why-did-british-prime-minister-attlee-think-bengal-was-going-to-be-an-independent-country-in-1947 |title=Why did British prime minister Attlee think Bengal was going to be an independent country in 1947? |work=Scroll.in |date=6 January 2019 |access-date=31 March 2020 |archive-date=17 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200517102749/https://scroll.in/article/907754/why-did-british-prime-minister-attlee-think-bengal-was-going-to-be-an-independent-country-in-1947 |url-status=live))</ref>

Suhrawardy, a lawyer from [[Midnapore]], did not want to lose western Bengal to the opposing side of the Hindu-Muslim divide. The proposal elicited support from [[Bengali Hindu]] leaders [[Sarat Chandra Bose]] of the [[Indian National Congress]], Kiran Shankar Roy (Leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the Bengal Assembly), and Satya Ranjan Bakshi.<ref name="banglapedia1">((cite web |url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=United_Independent_Bengal_Movement |title=United Independent Bengal Movement |website=Banglapedia |access-date=31 March 2020 |archive-date=5 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805022148/http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=United_Independent_Bengal_Movement |url-status=live )) </ref> Prominent [[Bengali Muslims]] in support of Suhrawardy included Bengal Finance Minister Mohammad Ali Chaudhury, Bengal Revenue Minister Fazlur Rahman, Islamic scholar [[Shamsul Huda Panchbagi]],<ref name=d>((cite news|url=https://www.bhorerkagoj.com/print-edition/2014/12/20/10097.php|script-title=bn:বাংলাদেশের জন্ম ও মাওলানা পাঁচবাগীর ভূমিকা|date=20 December 2014|accessdate=24 January 2020|newspaper=Bhorer Kagoj|language=bn|archive-date=25 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200125182156/https://www.bhorerkagoj.com/print-edition/2014/12/20/10097.php|url-status=live))</ref> Tippera politician [[Ashrafuddin Ahmad Chowdhury]], [[Mayor of Calcutta]] [[Syed Badrudduja]] and [[Bengal Provincial Muslim League|Bengal Muslim League]] secretary [[Abul Hashim]].<ref name="banglapedia1" /><ref>((cite Banglapedia|article=Badrudduja, Syed|author=Mohammed Ali Syed))</ref> For a while, the proposal was subject to significant negotiations.
[[File:শরৎচন্দ্র বসু' র মূর্তি.jpg|thumb|Statue of Sarat Chandra Bose in Calcutta. Bose supported the United Bengal plan]]
On 12 May 1947, Bose and Hashim met Congress stalwart [[Mahatma Gandhi]] to discuss the United Bengal scheme. Gandhi gave an attentive hearing.((citation needed|date=May 2022)) [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]], leader of the Muslim League, was also open to the idea of an independent Bengal.<ref name="scroll1947" /> On 20 May 1947, a five-point plan was outlined for a "Free State of Bengal", echoing the legacy of the name of the Irish Free State. The plan was based on a confessionalist structure with power-sharing between Hindus and Muslims. It mirrored some of the confessionalist practices adopted in [[Greater Lebanon|French Lebanon]] in 1926, where the positions of President and Prime Minister rotated among Muslims and Christians.((citation needed|date=May 2022))

However, the Congress Party backtracked in its openness to the idea. On 27 May 1947, Congress leader [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] formally stated that his party would "agree to Bengal remaining united only if it remains in the Indian Union".<ref name="scroll1947" /> Congress President [[J. B. Kripalani]] opposed the proposal to "save the unity of Bengal". In reply to the plea made by Ashrafuddin Chowdhury, Kripalani stated "All that the Congress seeks to do today is to rescue as many areas as possible from the threatened domination of the League and Pakistan. It wants to save as much territory for a Free Indian Union as is possible under the circumstances. It therefore insists upon the division of Bengal and [[Punjab (region)|Punjab]] into areas for [[India|India]] and [[Pakistan]] respectively."<ref>((Cite book |url=https://sites.google.com/site/bdguiber/home/6-english/bangladesh/colonialism-politics |title=Agrarian Bengal: Economy, Social Structure and Politics: 1919-1947 |last=Bose |first=Sugata |publisher=Cambridge University Press, First Indian Edition in association with Orient Longman |year=1987 |location=[[Hyderabad]] |pages=230–231))</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Kabir |first1=Nurul |title=Colonialism, politics of language and partition of Bengal PART XVI |url=https://sites.google.com/site/bdguiber/home/6-english/bangladesh/colonialism-politics |access-date=14 August 2016 |work=New Age |date=1 September 2013 |archive-date=9 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009195210/https://sites.google.com/site/bdguiber/home/6-english/bangladesh/colonialism-politics |url-status=live))</ref> Opponents included mostly Hindus in the Bengal Provincial Congress and [[Hindu Mahasabha]] who wanted to remain part of Inida and didn't wanted to join a newly created enthenic muslim majority state .

These leaders included former premier Sir [[Khawaja Nazimuddin]].<ref name="banglapedia1" />

Within the [[British government]], there was serious consideration of the proposal. British commercial interests in Bengal required safeguards. The [[United States government]] was also briefed on the possibility of three countries emerging out of partition, including Pakistan, India, and Bengal. On 2 June 1947, [[British Prime Minister]] [[Clement Attlee]] informed the [[US Ambassador to the United Kingdom]] [[Lewis Williams Douglas]] that there was a "distinct possibility Bengal might decide against partition and against joining either Hindustan or Pakistan".<ref name="autogenerated1">((cite news |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1453994/uk-pm-attlee-believed-bengal-may-opt-to-be-a-separate-country |title=UK PM Attlee believed Bengal may opt to be a separate country |date=28 December 2018 |work=Dawn |access-date=31 March 2020 |archive-date=17 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417073111/https://www.dawn.com/news/1453994/uk-pm-attlee-believed-bengal-may-opt-to-be-a-separate-country |url-status=live ))</ref> Douglas cabled the [[US State Department]] about the meeting.<ref name="autogenerated1" />

On 3 June 1947, [[Viceroy of India]] [[Earl Mountbatten]] outlined the framework principles of partition, including that in principle the partition of British India was accepted by the British Government; successor governments would be given [[dominion]] status; autonomy and sovereignty will be given to the new countries; each country will make its own constitution; [[princely states]] were given the right to either join Pakistan or India; and that [[British India|Provinces]] can become a separate nation other than Pakistan or India. There appeared to be some popular momentum towards the concept of United Bengal. On 6 July 1947, the [[Sylhet referendum]] was held. Voters in the Sylhet division in Assam Province voted by a majority to bifurcate Sylhet from Assam and merge into Eastern Bengal.

On 20 June 1947, the [[Bengal Legislative Assembly]] met to vote on the partition of Bengal. At the preliminary joint session, the assembly decided by 126 votes to 90 that if it remained united it should join the [[Constituent Assembly of Pakistan]]. Later, a separate meeting of legislators from West Bengal decided by 58 votes to 21 that the province should be partitioned and that West Bengal should join the [[Constituent Assembly of India]]. In another separate meeting of legislators from East Bengal, it was decided by 106 votes to 35 that the province should not be partitioned and 107 votes to 34 that East Bengal should join Pakistan in the event of partition.<ref>((cite book |last=Bose |first=Sugata |title=Agrarian Bengal: Economy, Social Structure and Politics |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fxXInQEACAAJ |year=1986 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=230 |isbn=978-0-521-30448-1))</ref> No vote on the United Bengal proposal was held.

==Five point plan==
A five-point plan was outlined on 20 May 1947 after consultations with Governor Frederick Burrows. Its salient features are outlined below.

#Bengal would be a Free State. The Free State of Bengal would decide it relations with the rest of India.<ref name=":1">((cite web|last1=Misra|first1=Chitta Ranjan|title=United Bengal Movement|url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=United_Independent_Bengal_Movement|website=Banglapedia|publisher=Bangladesh Asiatic Society|access-date=25 April 2016|archive-date=5 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805022148/http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=United_Independent_Bengal_Movement|url-status=live))</ref>
#The Constitution of the Free State of Bengal would provide for election to the Bengal Legislature on the basis of a joint electorate and adult franchise, with reservation of seats proportionate to the population among Hindus and Muslims. The seats set aside for Hindus and Scheduled Caste Hindus would be distributed amongst them in proportion to their respective population, or in such manner as may be agreed among them. The constituencies would be multiple constituencies and the votes would be distributive and not cumulative. A candidate who got the majority of the votes of his own community cast during the elections and 25 percent of the votes of the other communities so cast, would be declared elected. If no candidate satisfied these conditions, that candidate who got the largest number of votes of his own community would be elected.<ref name=":1" />
#On the announcement by [[UK Government|His Majesty's Government]] that the proposal of the Free State of Bengal had been accepted and that Bengal would not be partitioned, the present Bengal Ministry would be dissolved. A new interim Ministry would be brought into being, consisting of an equal number of Muslims and Hindus (including Scheduled Caste Hindus) but excluding the Prime Minister. In this Ministry, the Prime Minister would be a Muslim and the Home Minister a Hindu.
#Pending the final emergence of a Legislature and a Ministry under the new constitutions, Hindus (including Scheduled Caste Hindus) and Muslims would have an equal share in the Services, including military and police. The Services would be manned by Bengalis.<ref name=":1" />
#A Constituent Assembly composed of 30 persons, 16 Muslims and 14 Hindus, would be elected by Muslim and Hindu members of the Legislature respectively, excluding Europeans.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">((Cite news|url=http://bdnews24.com/neighbours/2016/01/28/book-by-madhuri-bose-throws-new-light-on-united-bengal-plan|title=Book by Madhuri Bose throws new light on 'United Bengal' plan|date=28 January 2016|newspaper=BDNews24.com|access-date=29 April 2016|archive-date=7 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307032838/http://bdnews24.com/neighbours/2016/01/28/book-by-madhuri-bose-throws-new-light-on-united-bengal-plan|url-status=live))</ref>

==Legacy==
The United Bengal proposal has been the sole attempt by prominent Bengali leaders to establish an independent country encompassing East and West Bengal. However, since the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|Partition of Bengal in 1947]], the region's politics have veered away from any semblance of pan-Bengali nationalism. It also became complicated with Indian support for [[East Pakistan]]'s liberation as [[Bangladesh]] in 1971. Given the close [[Bangladesh-India relations]], any notion of a pan-Bengali state is considered unrealistic. The pioneer of the United Bengal proposal, Suhrawardy, went on to become a leading statesman of Pakistan. Suhrawardy died in [[Beirut]] in 1963 in a country with a confessionalist system.((citation needed|date=March 2024)) In his memoirs, [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]], the founder of Bangladesh and a protege of Suhrawardy, remarked, "Initially, Bengalis failed to appreciate Mr Suhrawardy’s greatness. By the time they learned to value him they had run out of time".<ref>((cite book |last=Rahman |first=Sheikh Mujibur |translator-last=Alam |translator-first=Fakrul |title=Unfinished Memoirs |year=2012 |publisher=University Press Limited |location=Dhaka |page=52 |isbn=978-0-19-906358-1))</ref>

Modern Indian nationalists discuss Bengali reunification in the context of wider [[Indian reunification]]. In the 1950s, the Calcutta-based Hindu nationalist volunteer group Sri Aurobindo Sevak Sangha included in their programme "Annulment of the ill-fated partition and reunification of India."<ref name="Lambert1959">((cite journal |last1=Lambert |first1=Richard D. |title=Factors in Bengali Regionalism in Pakistan |journal=Far Eastern Survey |year=1959 |volume=28 |issue=4 |page=56 |publisher=American Institute of Pacific Relations |doi=10.2307/3024111 |jstor=3024111 |quote=That such plots continue to be discovered is indicated in an editorial in the ''Morning News'' of February 4, 1957: A vigorous campaign has been launched in Bharat to undo Pakistan and re-unite it with Bharat, according to authoritative reports reaching here from Calcutta. A political party, the Sri Aurobindo Sevak Sangha which claims that its political programme is based on the 'teaching of Sri Aurobindo' is fighting general elections in Bharat with a programme the first item of which reads: 'Annulment of the ill-fated partition and reunification of India.' In its election manifesto, which has been widely distributed and even sent to some newspapers in Pakistan, the party claims that 'there is a party even in Pakistan which is working for reunification and it is growing in strength.' The editorial in this Muslim League newspaper goes on to remark that the party in East Bengal is not named but hints very strongly that it is the Awami League. It is this latter charge (that they are at best dupes and at worst agents of seditious groups) that has been used most effectively against the regionalist groups—so much so that it made Mr. Bhashani cry out in an interview, "Call me an agitator, call me anything, but when they say that I am an enemy of Pakistan and am destroying it, I can only cry my agony to the high heavens for justice and retribution."))</ref> On 4 February 1957, an East Pakistani-based newspaper ''[[The Morning News (Bangladeshi newspaper)|The Morning News]]'' published an article accusing the [[Awami League]] of favoring Indian reunification, stating that "there is a party even in Pakistan which is working for reunification and it is growing in strength".<ref name="Lambert1959"/>
