💨 Abstract

The article discusses the events leading to the partition of India and the creation of Bangladesh, focusing on the 1946 Bengal riots in Calcutta that resulted in the ethnic cleansing of Hindus. It highlights the role of the Muslim League, particularly Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, in sowing seeds for partition and turning a blind eye to the violence.
