is that the Bhadralok which vociferously stood for division on religious identity lines and which embraced Bankim Chandra as one of their intellectual seers was composed entirely of land lords (zamindars or rent receiving class as lightly referred to here) !
The Bhadralok were people of means, people who owned excess farmland and had armies of half starving people from the underclass working for them, producing all their food and bringing it home for them and selling the excess and bringing home the proceeds. The men and women of the Bhadralok did not have to work for a living, very often did not even have to do mundane chores of maintaining their homes !
In such circumstances, the emergence of liberal ideas in Bengal in the latter half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries (propounded by a host of reformers including Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda, Tagore, etc) was seen as a direct threat by the Bhadralok to their continued hold over a disproportionately high share of resources !
The embrace of the so called hindutva was simply the route the Bhadralok believed would prevent those liberal ideas of humanism, equality, fraternity and universal justice from ending up divesting them of all the excess farmland and other resources held captive by them !

And you_Kutta_Muz only stands for unit. Keep your dirty mouth shut..you_motherfkers.
Shah, without participating in any movements gives lecture on Division. The only history he can be proud of is He has created a Morally Bankrupt India.

The data released by the West Bengal SEC shows that 34.2 percent or 20,076 of the 58,692 seats have gone uncontested in the upcoming panchayat elections. A majority of the uncontested seats have been automatically won by candidates of the ruling TMC.

In some districts — like Birbhum — the Opposition failed to put up a candidate in nearly 90% of the seats, while over 50% of another four districts are also without Opposition candidates.
