Abstract: The main intention of the article is to understand the roots of communalism in Indian subcontinent particularly in the Bengal delta. The rationale of the study lies behind the explanation and analytical reasoning of the factors associated with the divisions that took place in South Asian subcontinent on the basis of religion. The study, therefore, helps to explore reasons for spiralling rise in communal violence in the region. It attempts to understand how British colonial policies had accentuated the communal tensions in the region. While looking at its rise and expansion, the study claims that the whole Bengal region is still having those communally sensitive vulnerable sides and it has been negatively influencing the politics in Bangladesh. To be precise, the scope of the studylies in providing a micro analysis to the root causes of communal based issues in Bangladesh.
