Subhas Chandra Bose formed an alliance with the Muslim League to destroy the Holwell Monument in Calcutta during 1939–40.

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.

This incident is notable as an example of nationalist leaders attempting to forge a united front across communal lines on specific issues, even during a period of increasing communal tensions.
