So, why did the Congress lose the 1936 and 1945 Provincial elections in Bengal, Punjab, and Sindh?

As we know, the partition of India and the states that were given away to Pakistan was determined, neither by the population of Muslims, nor by any administrative control. It was decided on the basis of whether Congress would win these provinces or not. ki-jaana-main-kaun: Why rioting happens in India?

So, then, I got to thinking - why did Congress lose these elections? 

What happened here. 


And here is the hypothesis: 

Coincidentally, the radical movement - the Krantikari movement, which believed in violent and direct resistance to the British rule, found the highest support in exactly 2 provinces - Punjab and Bengal. 

While Subramaniam Bharathi was a proud poet from Tamil Nadu, the action and mass support mobilisation was in the provinces of Punjab and Bengal. 

The Congress worked actively to convict the Krantikaris and even for Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru, did not work to get their death sentence revoked - it would have been a minor thing for the mighty Congress. But it let them die because of "ideological differences" 

I believe that this is the reason that the Congress did not win popular votes in Punjab and Bengal. 

And also the reason that these provinces saw NO proactive planning for human movement. 

Even if people losing their homeland was inevitable, it was perfectly possible to structure and administer a safe passage for everyone. But Nehru and his accomplices ensured that no police arrangement was made and people were left to die at the hands of bloodthirsty mobs especially created by them through decades of hard work. 

That blood is on Nehru's hands. But how much blood on Nehru's hands? A thousand times more than his body weight. As i have explained in the post above.
