Assam: Genesis and Impact of Demographic incursion on the popular culture
A true Aphorism of innumerous nefarious incidents that occurred in the pre and post independent India that unsettled the social fabric of India will lead us to a time when All India Muhammadan Educational conference was first formulated. The progenitor of Aligarh Muslim University, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan founded the AIMEC in 1886 under the Aegis of sparking an educational renaissance among the Muslim fraternity of India. For the subsequent decades, the All India Muhammadan Educational Conference kept organising various meetings across the country that gave them a necessary platform to seed and deliberate the Muslim population with the incongruous theory of two Nations and garner support for their cause. This continued for next two decades until 1906, when during the Dhaka conference the AIMEC formally chartered the All India Muslim league with a motto to establish separate political self-determination of Muslims. It was under this tutelage of political empowerment that the Muslim league prepared their schematics for realising the division of Bharat on religious lines. Salimullah, the Nawab of Dhaka and the chief patron of AIMEC was a major force behind rallying the elite Muslims to the cause of a separate Islamic nation as he succeeded in lobbying with the Britishers to realise his nefarious intentions of dividing the province of Bengal. This Illicit proposition of dividing the province of Bengal was mutually beneficial for the Britishers, as it would have secured the loyalty of Muslim Elites on the one hand, and would have secured an important ally to curb the Anushilan Samitee, predominantly comprised of Hindus on the other hand. Succinctly, with the formation of East Bengal with a majority Muslim population was perhaps the Nawabs’ allegory of ulterior motives being achieved for the first time.
