Following World War II, independence in the Indian subcontinent was inevitable. However, some Bengali leaders, such as Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Sarat Chandra Bose called for a United Bengal, which was to encompass Bengal and Assam. Jinnah and the Muslim League supported it, while the INC opposed it. However, the INC failed in their efforts to stop Bengal and Pakistan from becoming independent.
However, I was reading a book on Indian history and I found out that the Muslim League was planning on partitioning Bengal like what eventually happened to Punjab. Muslim Majority Bengal would go to Pakistan while Hindu Majority Bengal and Assam would go to India. What if the Bengali leaders failed in their efforts to create a Bengali nation, how would the politics of the Indian Subcontinent look today? Who would become the mediator in India-Pakistan peace talks as Bengal is IOTL*? How would Burmese politics go, seeing as they are conflicts between Bengal and Burma on the issue of the Rakhine State, and the fact that even wars were fought?
