The Holwell Monument, commemorating the “Black Hole of Calcutta” incident, was considered a symbol of British imperialism and humiliation by Indian nationalists. Subhas Chandra Bose launched an agitation for its removal. To broaden the support base and pressure the government, he collaborated with the Bengal Provincial Muslim League, led by Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy. This joint agitation was successful, and the monument was eventually dismantled in 1940.
