Emergence, Spread and Consequences of Communalism in Bengal during Colonial Rule: A Historical Analysis

During Muslim rule, there was a normal, cordial relationship between the Hindu and Muslim communities in the subcontinent. But after the defeat of Nawab Siraj-ud-doula in the 1757 Battle of Plassey, British rule began in the subcontinent. Under the influence of this British rule, Indian society, economy, politics, communication system, language-literature-culture, publishing, profession and scholarship, law and judiciary, inter-communal relations, etc. also changed in the communal sphere. As a result, communal conflicts between Hindu-Muslim communities in the subcontinent began; which lasted for two hundred years. It finally ended in 1947 as a result of a political struggle aimed at changing the longstanding policy of oppression and discrimination between Hindu-Muslim communities. The present study therefore attempts to highlight the origin, spread, and consequences of communalism in Bengal. 

Keywords: Muslim, British, Communalism, Hindhu, Company, Political Struggle.
