Yes, I find it very hilarious that Punjabi-pathan elite thought that they can boss around Bengali people any period of time without any consequences. They don't know rebelliousness to foreign rules and injustice in the gene of Bengali people.In the middle ages, when Bengal was under Delhi sultanate, this region was experienced so much rebellion, that the Delhi sultans called it '
Bulghaqpur' or House of strife. If we look at who ruled Bengal in the last 1000 years before the British than we can see that Bengal was independent for overwhelming majority of times.
Independent Pala empire from 750-1070 AD=320 years
Independent Sena dynasty from 1070- 1230 AD=160 years
Under Delhi sultanate from 1230-1338 AD=108 years
Independent Bengal sultanate from 1338-1576 AD= 238 years
Under Mughal rules from 1576- 1717 AD= 141 years.
Independent Bengal Nawabi from 1717-1757 AD=40 years.
So out of 1007 years of history, Bengal was under Delhi's rule for mere 249 years.Emperor Akber needed 30 years long campaign to finally subdue the Bengal and incorporate it to the Mughal empire.Bengal was also the first region to rebel against the British rules and anti British agitation was most strong in this region. And west Pakistani military junta thought they can boss around Bengalis and can continue their exploitative rules without any consequences.
