Dakshin (South) Barasat happens to be an
important area in District: 24 Paraganas (South) and has a railway station too
in the Sealdah-Laxmikantpur section. Even if sporadic Hindu-Muslim clashes used
to affect the locale, law and order was not in danger. The situation is not same any more – the
earlier composition of the area has been changing drastically risking Hindus
alone, according to locals.
What
people are saying – a good number of Muslim families, hailing from outside regions,
are increasingly occupying areas behind platform no. 2 (belonging to Indian
Railway exclusively) and have built up a mosque there also without permission. Small-scale
businesses of Hindus (before) have become greatest casualties and are being
grabbed by the Muslim felons.
Repercussion
of this terrible development is being felt in other social spheres also. It is
becoming increasingly impossible for Hindu girl students to go either to school
or Dhruba Chand Halder College (DCHC) nearby safely – eve-teasing coupled with
sexual harassments of them by Muslim youths is rampant.
Even
if Hindus have complained to the local administration repeatedly, there has
been no apposite response yet; let alone adopting stern measures by police to
stop such anti-social activities.
What
is adding to Hindus’ woes, the number of Muslim families is rising
exponentially with each day it passes.
Should
Hindus remain silent still and watch their own gradual destruction? Or is it
the time for them to react?
