Wrong. Bengal was the only part of the Indian colony which truly fought back against the British.
Here's a piece I found which lead to the movement of freedom from the British:
British-ruled Bengal was a hotbed of anti-colonial rebellion. In the early 19th century,
Titumir led a peasant uprising against colonial rule.
Haji Shariatullah led the
Faraizi movement, advocating
Islamic revivalism.
[33] The Faraizis sought to create a
caliphate and cleanse the region's Muslim society of what they deemed "un-Islamic practices". They were successful in galvanizing the Bengali peasantry against colonial authorities. However, the movement suffered crackdowns after the
Mutiny of 1857[34] and lost impetus after the death of Haji Shariatullah's son
Dudu Miyan.
[33]
After 1870, Muslims began seeking English education increasingly. Under the leadership of
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan the promotion the English language among
Muslims of India also influenced Bengali Muslim society.
[19] Social and cultural leaders among Bengali Muslims during this period included
Munshi Mohammad Meherullah, who countered Christian missionaries,
[35] writers
Ismail Hossain Siraji and
Mir Mosharraf Hossain; and feminists
Nawab Faizunnesa and
Roquia Sakhawat Hussain.
The creation of
Eastern Bengal and Assam established visions for a sovereign Muslim-majority homeland in the eastern subcontinent. Low income Muslims after passing matriculation, looked for jobs as clerks, peons and orderlies but Hindu
babus refused to employ them.
[19] So, instigated by the British, upper class Muslims formed the
Muslim League in Dhaka in 1906.
[19] The early Muslim League dominated politics in East Bengal.
A. K. Fazlul Huq was the first
Prime Minister of Bengal under British rule. Bengali Muslims also dominated politics in
Colonial Assam, where
Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani emerged as a populist leader.
Muhammed Saadulah served as the first Prime Minister of Assam.
