==Political career==
In 1936, Bose became the President of the Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, and served as a member of the [[All India Congress Committee]] from 1936 till 1947. Sarat Bose was arrested after the escape of Subhas the day before he was due to join as Cabinet Minister in the Fazlul Haq government. He was moved to jail in Mercara and then Coonoor where his health suffered. He was released in September 1945 after a 4 year prison sentence. From 1946 to 1947, Bose would lead the Congress delegation to the [[Central Legislative Assembly]]. He strongly supported the formation of the [[Indian National Army]] by Subhas Bose, and actively participated in the [[Quit India movement]]. Following his brother's reported death in 1945, Bose led efforts to provide relief and aid to the families of INA soldiers through the [[INA Defence and Relief Committee]]. In 1946, he was appointed Member of the Interim Government for Works, Mines and Powers – the position of a minister in a national executive council led by [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]], and presided over by the Viceroy of India.

==Bengal partition and later life==
However, Bose resigned from the AICC in disagreement over the [[1946 Cabinet Mission to India|Cabinet Mission Plan]]'s call to partition [[Bengal]] between [[West Bengal|Hindu-majority]] and [[East Bengal|Muslim-majority]] regions. He attempted to construct a bid for a [[United Bengal|united but independent Bengal]] and [[North East India|North-East]] with the Bengali [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] leaders [[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]] and [[Abul Hashim]]. [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] (President of the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]], who became Pakistan's founding father) supported it, though he later changed his decision. [[Mahatma Gandhi]] also supported it. The [[Indian National Congress]] and the Hindu members of Indian Legislative Council from Bengal opposed it.<ref>{{cite book|title=History of Bengal|author=R. C.
