Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy felt pangs of India’s partition, anguishes of Bengali Hindus

There have been extensive accusals (through ages) of Indian National Congress’ role during the Partition of India, 1947 and its dubious policy regarding protection of legitimate Hindu rights. It has also been put forward by an assortment of political analysts and historians had Congress been more steadfast, Muslim League could have been thwarted and partition averted.

Whatever it is, even if there are differences of opinions, flippant attitude in Congress to stand for Hindus maimed the Hindu community indisputably. And the same tradition has been continuing still. Nevertheless, there are some glaring exceptions too. A few Congress leaders were worried of Hindus. These include Acharya J B Kripalani, Purushottam Das Tandon and none other than Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, accomplished and illustrious doctor, and also the legendary Chief Minister of West Bengal. This may happen to be dubious to many but assortment of reliable facts authenticates it.

Bidhan Chandra Roy, being an inhabitant of Bengal and witness to rampages of Muslim League in preceding years even on frivolous issues, was skeptical of the fate of partition from the beginning. And his fears got a foothold with the Direct Action Day in Calcutta, 16 th August, 1946. The violence that was displayed by Muslim League cadres on the fateful day to champion the cause of Pakistan and physically exterminate rivals, especially Hindus, en masse shocked his conscience. And the pogroms against Bengali Hindus in East Pakistan, following partition, confirmed his worst fears.

Archival materials affirm Dr. BC Roy made several efforts to make the central leadership of then Congress realize the worst atrocities on Hindus in Bengal but without any positive result. He realized the Government of India was not in any mood to recognize mounting atrocities on Hindus in East Pakistan and their anguishes. In accordance with “Mukhyamantrider Sange” (With Chief Ministers) of Saroj Chakraborty, BC Roy once said, “ To stop the curse of oppression on Hindus in East Pakistan war remains the one and only option.” He was no longer in any mood to retain harmony with Pakistan.

Dr. Roy lost his patience with the genocide of Hindus in Barishal, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1950. The genocide of Hindus that started from a trivial reason soon engulfed the whole of Pakistan and led to strong reactions in the Indian state of Bengal too. What started as a result of systematic genocide (racial extermination) was an unending chain of Hindu refugees to Indian Bengal, creating a huge pressure on relatively economically feeble West Bengal.

On April 2, 1953 (published in Ananda Bazar Patrika’s April 3 edition) Dr. Roy said categorically, “Islamic law has been implemented on non-Muslims in East Pakistan. There have been ample incidents of burning down residences, tactful racial murders, destruction of properties, forcible conversions of non-Muslims, and rapes of non-Muslim women.”

Under Dr. Roy’s astute leadership, in almost all sectors, social, political or economic, West Bengal soon turned into a leading state of India in 1950s and without doubt, in spite of several problems, it started leaving behind pangs of partition. Bengali Hindus were getting potent yet again but his untimely death, followed by scarcity of able leadership in Congress and muscle-flexing politics of Lefts, created a permanent void.

Hindu women teased; Hindu properties destroyed in Bongaon

On 26 June, in the village of Bagan Gaon, P.S. Bongaon, Dist.: 24 Paraganas (North), eve-teasing of a Hindu woman led to a great scuffle between Hindus and Muslims and ultimately to the destruction of Hindu properties. The news may not amaze anymore as this is becoming a norm in rural Bengalincreasingly but without doubt each such incident is pointing towards an inevitable doomsday, especially for Hindus.

The incident on June 26 started at 7 pm when Ratna Kirtania, married Hindu woman of 35 years of age, was returning from the nearby market. An intoxicated Hindu boy, named Khude, inhabitant of adjoining village of Pat Simulia, insulted Ratna. Hindus of the area, in response, led by Ratna’s uncle, not only protested but thrashed him also. The incident could have ended there had not the Muslims interfered.

Another boy, equally intoxicated, was watching the entire incident from a distance. When a few people, containing 3 Muslims of adjoining village of Ganpur, from behind asked him to move out and let them go, he challenged them. The brawl ended there but Muslims returned and informed elders of the Muslim-dominated village.

No less than 80 Muslims came to the village of Bagan Gaon in a vehicle and the moment they reached and identified Hindu houses along with paternal residence of Ratna, they started plundering. The whole house of Dipankar, Ratna's uncle, was reduced to rubbles within next 30 minutes and valuables were stolen. Apart from golden jewelries, valuables included a machine of squeezing sugarcane (Akhmarai) worth Rs. 25,000 and the cycle van where it was positioned.

What made Dipakar's residence prime target? Probes reveal two things. The incident of Muslim attacks, on that fateful day, was the result of a wrong information. Dipankar says when the large contingent of Muslims (containing at least 80) came back, they asked in bazaar (Haat Bar or market day) of the entire development and they were informed of Ratna’s incident only. They supposedly considered it as the main reason behind thrashing of Muslims. This led to plundering of Hindu houses and above all, of Dipankar.

Secondly, the entire vicinity is the bastion of smugglers or smuggling through Indo-Bangaldesh border. At times, these activities injure Hindu lands a great deal. For example, when cows are smuggled they are driven through Hindu agricultural fields and both fields and crops get damaged. Dipankar, on many occasions, have led Hindus to be compensated by such offenders, majority of which are Muslims. Dipankar is wondering whether these acts of him stimulated Muslims to make his house prime target in the recent carnage.

An FIR has been lodged by the Hindu victims and even if police has assured them, they are in fright due to lack of security. It has been learnt Muslim attackers are traditional CPM supporters. Hindus, hence, are relying on the local Trinamool leadership.

Hindu village in Domjur in abject fear; threatened of dire consequences for its valiance

Administration remains indifferent

Hindus in village Uttar Nibra Panchanantala, P.S. Domjur, Dist: Howrah in the Indian state of Bengal offered a heroic resistance against Muslim thugs (on June 22) when the incident of stabbing of Hindu youths, Malo Ram and Babla Bera, following their protest against eve-teasing of Hindu girls by Muslim thugs took place. The incident led to a huge tension in the vicinity and for the first time Hindus geared up and resisted against the Muslim rowdies guilty to stab Hindus. Nevertheless, the entire village and the neighborhood, at this point in time, are terrified and apprehending worst.

During one-on-one interaction with villagers it was learnt that such incidents are becoming more and more common these days whereas police and administration remain silent, stimulating nasty designs of Muslim cronies. On the fateful day 6 (not 4 as mentioned in earlier report) ruffians overall in 2 motorcycles from nearby village of Ankurhati turned up. While 2, Hasan Gazi (28) and Mukul Ali (27), of them were caught and heavily thrashed, 4 goons, in their twenties, managed to escape.

As per witnesses like Guatam Das, Chotai Gole, Babua, Babla and others – the whole gang was heavily armed and 3 of them were having firearms as well. But the eruption of Hindu anger proved to be heavy for them.

Whatever it is, the situation has changed lots by now and the whole village is suffering from an uncanny form of insecurity. This scribe, thanks to local and dedicated Hindu youths, went to meet Malo Ram at his residence and was fortunate to perceive such a valiant yet injured youth. Instead of any remorse, he has the conviction of doing right. Malo’s injury is heavy still though he can manage to talk. Babla Bera, as per earlier reports, was released after initial treatments.

But fear persists and it is indeed deep-rooted. This was found best when the victim girl’s family declined clearly to talk and even to divulge name of the girl. An FIR had been lodged by local people but the number couldn’t be found out as it is being dealt with by a local Trinamool Congress leader, remaining unavailable at the time of investigation. Here is one instance of fear. When this team went to the girl’s residence, local Hindus continued to watch from a distance. They took a good time to gain strength and asked our identity.

Villagers alleged that Hasan Gazi’s family had already offered a sum of Rs. 50,000 to Malo Ram to withdraw the case against their lad. What is more, threats of dire consequences are also coming to the villagers from Muslim strongmen. Administration seems to be too busy to mull over these serious issues heightening anxiety of Hindus only. When asked of police patrols, villagers said there was no such.

Bangladeshi Muslim Infiltrators in Howrah posing Grave Challenge to National Security

Is the presence of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators in West Bengal far away from international border with Bangladesh expected? It can’t be ever – such is the thought of majority of Hindus in Bengal. But, contrary to their belief, the same is taking place without restraint and some of them are residing freely even in Uttar Nibra Panchanantala, P.S. Domjur, Dist: Howrah.

This perilous reality came to the fore on June 26 during an investigation of recent brawl between Hindus and Muslims following stabbing of Hindu youths owing to their protest against eve-teasing of Hindu girls by Muslim thugs. This incident had occurred on June 22, 2011.

Illegal Muslim infiltration from across the border or Bangladesh is indeed a serious issue and without a shred of doubt poses a great challenge to the security of Union of India. It is also no longer a secret that Indian administration, owing to pressures from an assortment of political parties committed to preserve their secular image, can’t act properly in these cases.

But how can such a presence be ignored? It can’t be and hence, this scribe didn’t lose a second to question them. Well, some villagers were brave enough to identify them as Muslim infiltrators to the visiting team. What startled the team was their smartness in answering the questions. The team was small, containing three women and a baby, but when questioned of their companions they flatly denied. While answering they were also smiling indicating such inquiries were futile to trouble their existence within West Bengal.

Who can be blamed then? Should the Indian administration or ever tight-lipped Hindus be pointed the finger at?

Hindu youths stabbed for resisting Muslim rowdies’ eve-teasing of Hindu girls

If you do not struggle, you can’t live – the philosophy casting a hypnotic spell on the whole of Europe and United States is finally getting a stronghold among Hindus too and what is the need of it has been depicted by the incident in Uttar Nibra Panchanantala, P.S. Domjur, Dist: Howrah in Indian state of Bengal. Two Hindu youths, Malo Ram and Babla Bera, were stabbed in broad daylight only on yesterday; they had dared to protest against eve-teasing of Hindu girls by Muslim thugs.

In accordance with locals, eve-teasing by Muslim thugs has been a major problem in the locality but even after lots of complaints, police is yet to get active. Yesterday, during afternoon, four such thugs, regular visitors to Uttar Nibra Panchanantala from Ankurhati in the vicinity, arrived as usual and started teasing Hindu girls and using foul languages to make the job more erotic. To be precise, at this time Hindu girls return to home from tuition classes. Finding no other way to stop them Malo Ram (26) and Babla Bera (27) strongly protested.

Within the next couple of minutes both were stabbed. While Malo Ram received severe injuries on his neck and hands, Babla Bera got injuries on the back. Both were rushed to the Howrah District Hospital. What followed these was nothing but a mass outrage. Angry locals got hold of two of four Muslim guys riding motorcycles and manhandled them. Malo Ram is still in hospital, Babla Bera has been released after treatments.

The two Muslim rowdies – Hasan Gazi (28) and Mukul Ali (27) – were then handed over to the police. They were remanded in police custody after being produced before a court. Local people stated that they had asked the youths some days ago not to visit the area any longer. Compliant with unofficial sources, Muslim youths, after being protested by two Hindu youths, came back with more people.

Injured Muslim youths have been admitted to the Domjur Sub Divisional Hospital for treatment. Police is patrolling the area at the moment.

Muslims occupying canals forcibly, uprooting Hindus

Lots of ways have been used by Muslim miscreants, from time to time, to persecute Hindus and the latest, in this regard, is forcible occupation of sides of canals in South Bengal. This may sound uncanny to many readers; whatever it is, this stark reality is getting prominent with time. Now, before going on further, let’s focus on experts’ comments.

In accordance with experts, level of water is declining fast and this can lead to natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes) or inhuman dearth of drinking water, water necessary for agriculture. Governance in South Bengal, without a shred of doubt, is conscious of these and is making great efforts to hold rain water or water of river through digging out canals, ponds. Nevertheless all these majestic efforts have failed outright to solve problems. And onus, in this context, remains on local administrations. It is no longer a secret that Muslim bad hats are occupying sides of canals forcibly thanks to inefficiency, reluctance of local governance.

An assortment of such examples can be found without restraint in district 24 Paraganas (South).

1. These include several main and branch canals in Block – Mograhat.
2. Large numbers of canals in Block – Mandirbazar.
3. Sides of several rivers in Sundarban; one of these is Piyali river (Kella – Mahishmari)
4. As a result of abovementioned illegal activities Piyali river has almost ceased to exist.

Take Block – Mograhat, for instance. A few days back people in the neighborhood submitted a mass memorandum to BDO (Block Development Officer) Mograhat and also Department of Irrigation to oust illegitimate occupants from some specific canals and proceed to court against them. These specific canals include canal traversing Bankipur, canal from Mograhat to Dhanpota, canal from Mograhat to Nainan, canal from Chakda to Jhinki.

The majority of illegal occupants are Muslims and hence, administration and local parties prefer to remain silent. However, the same muteness is stimulating illegal activities of Muslims to the greatest extent.

Arrested Hindus in Bongaon released finally

24 Hindu males arrested, to be precise falsely incriminated, recently as a result of fracas in Ramchandrapur, Dist: 24 Paraganas (North), P.S. Bongaon (reported already at length in Hindu Samhati’s official website) have finally been released on bail. Hopes are rising that other accused ones will also be set free before long.

Ramchandrapur, Hindu SC dominated village containing 277 Hindu households, became hotbed in consequence of a horrendous incident; attempt to rape a Hindu housewife, Shefali Tarafdar, aged 27, wife of Nepal Tarafdar, daily laborer, by a Muslim miscreant (Huzur Ali) of the neighboring village of Bhire (inhabited by at least 500 Muslim households) and the subsequent developments. The shocking incident took place at 11 am on June 02, 2011.

Disinclination of local administration to nab the culprit led to a strong resentment among local Hindus. And finding no other option to make the local administration heed the same, Hindus thought it wise to block off adjoining main thoroughfare peacefully. Police, to call the agitation a halt, did repress villagers and arrested innocent Hindus on June 03, 2011.
