History Of Bengal

[Guest]

<b>Dear Ben Ami The exposure of Bengali people to English education system has brought in many benefits both in British time as well as in post independent India. The English educated Indians made valuable contribution in Indian Renaissance as well as in providing good administrators as clerks to the British administration. In later years they provided leadership to the freedom movement. In providing the leadership, some of them had divergent views than that of Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. This resulted in the gradual dislike of the Bengali leaders by a dominant section of the Congress. After the demise of B.C.Roy, no Congress leader was left who was capable of having his powerful voice heard in Delhi. It ultimately culminated in Bengal loosing its rightful place in the decision making process in Delhi Durbar. In later years, a few Bengal leaders have held the post of Cabinet Minister in important Ministries but they have not been able to contribute much to the development of West Bengal.</b>
