9. SWADESH MOVEMENT
The Swadesh Movement had its
genesis in the anti-partition movement
which was stated to oppose the
British decision to partition Bengal.
The official reason given for the
decision was that Bengal with a
population of 78 million (about a
quarter of the population of British
India) had become too big to be
administered.
This was true to some extent, but
the real motive behind the partition
plan was the British desire to weaken
Bengal, the nerve centre of Indian
nationalism.
