Enemies of Independence
Bengal has lost more than what she has gained by independence. There is no reason for compelling the Bengali speaking people to live in a different Province and learn foreign languages and civilization, even after partition. It is true that Urdu or Hindi cannot contribute much to the natural development of Bengali. None has defeated the Bengalis : whereas the Bengalis have freed India. Therefore, the Bengalis shall never tolerate that others should dominate them.
We can (not) understand what harm do the Bengalis do, section of them thinks of sovereign Bengal and either part of uniting it under either dominion.
