In 1947, following the Sylhet Referendum, Sylhet, except for three and a half thanas of the Karimganj sub-division that remained in India, was transferred to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The Sylhet referendum and partition of India (Assam) provided, among others, the context for the articulation of a reconstructed Sylheti identity.
