Through Abul Hashim, one of its architects, it explores the idea of an independent Bengali nation in the years preceding Independence and examines the underlying tensions of the concept of a Muslim-led independent Bangalistaan and its repercussions on a sizeable Hindu minority. Focusing on Hashim's writings and political contributions, the monograph highlights his vision of an aesthetic identity rooted within religious principles as well as civic ideals in a new united Bengal, where common law underwritten through religious ideals did not need to be necessarily opposed to western discourses of a modern state. A major, new intervention, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, especially the Partition, politics and South Asian studies"--8 aGenEd (RS)00aAbul Hashim,d1905-1974xPolitical and social views.96031720aBengal Provincial Muslim LeaguexHistory. 0aMuslimsxPolitical activityzIndiazBengalxHistoryy20th century.960318 0aBengal (India)xHistoryyPartition, 1947. 0aBengal (India)xPolitics and governmenty20th century. 0aIndiaxHistoryyPartition, 1947.  2ddccBK  c47675d47675  00102ddc4070aSCLbSCLcGENd2026-02-03eKarim Internationalg2300.00l0o954.00882971 SENp3020045384r2026-02-03t2v4600.00w2026-02-03yBK  00102ddc4070aSCLbSCLcGENd2026-02-03eKarim Internationalg2300.00l0o954.00882971 SENp3020045383r2026-02-03t1v4600.00w2026-02-03yBK
