This led to the inclusion of the Hindu middle class, who would have suffered the same under this move. Deeply affected by colonial rule, it made an inter-class based alliance with the ousted rural economy-based, religious, professional middle class. The peasant class therefore, was more used to resisting, while the middle class was more used to collaborating. It allowed the middle class to get ready for the push towards what they sought - a middle class led state - and was delayed by 1947. For the newly invented middle class, the opportunity to regroup and reframe themselves was signified by the state Language Movement.
