Political aspirations of Bengal took its origin long ago, since the beginning of the history of the land. From times immemorial, the people of Bengal were conscious and proud of their distinct entity in the body politic of the sub-continent. This consciousness was based upon certain peculiar characteristics. Firstly, the main bulk of the people of Bengal formed a homogenous ethnic group. The geographical contiguity, which was not fully realized in ancient Bengal, also played a role in shaping the history of the land. The linguistic affinity is another factor which also helped in the growth of regional consciousness in Bengal. The economic self-sufficiency of the region and a well-knit social system helped in the process of achieving a political unity and a distinct national life amongst the inhabitants of the land. This consciousness of the people of Bengal encouraged them to maintain the sanctity and independence of the land against the onslaught of the invaders.
