Muslim reaction to POB Flashcards
Dhaka and east Bengal importance grew
the main reason for the support of the partition was seeing their economic conditions improve. Hindus were the dominant force in Bengal and main development happened in the city of Calcutta many important buildings existed there e.g factories, mills and the only university in Bengal. however after the partition Dhaka became to transform and many administrative buildings were built there e.g high court and educational institutes were established all over the province. hence Muslims of east Bengal supported this decision
new administrations
Muslims supported the partition as an improved administration was established in the east. high court and educational buildings were established which allowed the population to benefit from new schools and employment which allowed them the chance of greater development therefore they supported the partition.
opportunities to allow progress
east Bengal was less developed than west Bengal however the partition opened up a number of opportunities for the people. schools and colleges were open which increased the number of Muslim students with the literacy and employment rate also increasing. railway tracks were laid and streamer services were provided to the general public as a form of transportation hence as east Bengal went into an era of progress the population was extremely satisfied with such development.
new political setup
east Bengal was granted a new political set up which improved the lives of the Muslims there. legislative council was set up and a governor was established even civil services were composed hence it gave them political importance and allow their voices to be heard therefore the partition was supported
Dhaka became capital
Dhaka became the capital of the new province and a hub of intellectual, legal and journalistic activities. Muslims now had the mean to express their thoughts to the government due to which their problems could not be ignored therefore the Muslims position improved over night and allowed them to become active in activities hence the partition was accepted.
