    Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee played an important role in ensuring that West Bengal remained a part of India after independence. As the Industry Minister in Nehru's cabinet, he resigned in protest of the religious persecution of Hindus in Pakistan. He formed the Bharatiya Jana Sangh political party in 1951 to advocate for Hindu nationalism and a uniform civil code for all Indians. His illegal entry into Kashmir to protest Article 370 that restricted Indian visits led to his mysterious death in jail, but helped establish rights for all Indians to visit Kashmir today.

    Importance of Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee in the history of Bengal

    The importance and contribution of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee in the history of West Bengal is
    immeasurable . It is Dr. S.P . Mukherjee due to whom the state of West Bengal is in India else it would
    have been too in present-day Bangladesh and hence destroyed .

    1) S.P . Mukherjee was a famed academician , barrister , politician of his times .

    2) He was a member of the Hindu Mahasabha and worked for the welfare of the people in rural India

    3) Earlier he was against the partition of India but two gruesome incidents changed his mindset . The
    Noakhali genocide 1946 and the Great Calcutta Killings 1946 . The interim government of Congress in
    1946 rejected the partition of India and it followed with mass cruelty of Noakhali and Calcutta .

    4. The pro-pakistanis initially demanded for the entire Bengal region in East Pakistan with Kolkata as the
    capital but it was the sheer determination of Dr. S.P. Mukherjee which ensured West Bengal for the
    Hindus . Bengali Hindu Homeland Movement - Wikipedia

    5. After independence he was the Industry minister of Free India in the cabinet of Nehru but the
    repeated violation of Nehru-Liaqat pact and the religious persecution of Hindus in Pakistan compelled
    him to resign from the congress . He believed India should have taken Pakistan with iron hands for the
    religious persecution of Hindus in Pakistan .

    6. After that he became a regular pracharak in RSS and started working extensively in Lakhimpur in
    Assam . In 1951 with the advice of M.S. Golwalkar the then Sarsanghachalak of RSS Mukherjee formed
    the Bharatiya Jana Sangh which later became as BJP in 1980 . The motto behind the formation of BJS
    was to establish a uniform civil code and cultural equality for all which was being compromised by the
    shameless appeasement policy followed by the Congress government .

    7. Since after Independence there was the need for a rapid progress of the nation , it is very much
    necessary that we incline to our cultural identity . So Dr. S.P. Mukherjee proudly advocated for Hindu
    Nationalism and hence many RSS members joined him to initiate the BJS .
    8. That time no other Indians were allowed to visit Kashmir without Visa owing to article 370 . Dr. S.P.
    Mukherjee said that “ek desh mein do vidhan , do pradhan , do nishan nehin chalegaa” . He entered
    Kashmir illegally protesting this act after which he was jailed in Kashmir . There he died under
    mysterious circumstances or congress conspiracy . But it was Mukherjee due to whom today every
    Indian are allowed to visit Kashmir .

    9. Unfortunately today we have forgotten the contribution of Dr. S.P. Mukherjee , especially in West
    Bengal . In the race of upgrading their eliteness (aabhijaato) people have sworn their allegiance to anti-
    national communism and have chosen to forget the sacrifice of S.P. Mukherjee due to whom the
    countless generations of people got their land secured and acceded to India .

    There are many ways to judge a view . But actually Hindu Nationalism is not about any imperialistic
    fanaticism but it is about safeguarding our cultural identity . What is the need ? Well Cultural identity is
    the part of our Nationalism . No Nation can make progress abandoning their root culture and adopting
    some foreign ideology(communism) . And Hindu Nationalism is not against any religion , evident is the
    fact that even Sikhs , Buddhists , Christians and Muslims consider the Sindhu Civilization as their root
    culture irrespective of their religion
