Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): The Hugli industrial region has experienced a relative decline in its industrial dominance in recent decades.
Reason (R): The partition of India in 1947 separated the major jute-producing areas from the jute mills located along the Hugli river.
Explanation
The Hugli industrial region faced a severe setback after the 1947 partition because major jute-growing tracts were ceded to East Pakistan, while the processing mills remained in India. This geographical separation disrupted raw material supplies, leading to the decline of its dominant jute industry. Over time, this contributed to the region’s overall reduced significance compared to newer industrial hubs.

Reason (R): According to his philosophy of Vishishtadvaita, the individual soul and the material world are real but remain completely dependent on Brahman.
