please do not go into regional sentiments. I have utmost respect for Bengal's contribution to Indian freedom struggle. I just wanted to make a point about nationalism of communists. Regarding foundation of congress, please do not forget that it was supposed to act as a safety valve for colonists so that emotional pressures developed due to the injustice meted out the masses would result in another 1857. Jansangh parent organizations Hindu Mahasabha and RSS, and CPI/CPIM supported the colonists during the Quit India Movement. If you want to cite Bengal's contribution to freedom struggle you should mention the names of Jatindranath Das, Subhas Chandra Bose, Bankim Chandra and the likes.
