A study of the growth and development of the autonomous character of the Bengali Muslims along with their long laborious search for their dual identity--not only as Muslims but as Bengalis as well, also exploring the issues of alleged 'separatism' and grass-roots integration, the indifference of Congress' leadership (including their pro-zamindar and anti-raiyat stance), political activism, and the amelioration of grievances.
