Imagine what would have happened to Calcutta and West Bengal.

CPI had two members in Bengal assembly- Jyoti Basu and Ratanlal Brahmachari. THEY VOTED ALONG WITH MUSLIM LEAGUE TO KEEP PRESENT DAY WEST BENGAL INTO ISLAMIC EASTERN PAKISTAN.

Thanks to SP Mukherjee the state of West Bengal was created by partitioning Bengal.

I had no idea of what you have described. Where is it documented?

The (undivided) Bengal Assembly took a vote on whether to partition Bengal in early 1947.

Go and figure out who voted for whom in that.

I think that you are wrong. It is libelous to post false material.

Most interestingly, its CPI and Muslim league who wanted to separate eastern bengal into Pakistan a year back.

And it was SP Mukherjee who was opposing partition of Bengal.

But the world saw the butchery of Muslim League when they unleashed Great Calcutta Massacre in 1946.

In any case, it shows how CPI changed its tune with Muslim League.
