Major Gen AC Chatterjee established the right-wing Bengali nationalist party "New Bengal Association" (NBA), widely known as the 'Bengali Fascists' [Bengalische Faschisten] in 1946. It argued H Bengalis were a distinct race who needed enough territory to fulfill their destiny.
The Bengal Provincial Hindu Mahasabha, as part of an all-India organisation, could not openly advocate this kind of aggressive Bengali chauvinism, even if some of its members privately shared the Association's worldview.

In the cultural imagination of Bengal, Durgā Pūjā is not merely a seasonal festival but a vādhū-baraṇa - a ceremonial welcome to the divine bride. The goddess is envisioned as Umā, the princess of the snow-clad Himalayas, who comes as the kulavadhū - the bride ..
