Why is Bengal’s reigning administration inimical to Hindus in Gouranganagar?

There was a hope that fierce struggles of Hindus, residing in Gouranganagar Udvastu Colony, P.S. New Town, District: 24 Paraganas (North), against local Muslim cronies, backed by various political echelons, erupting on 07/07/11 resulting in arrests of two innocent Hindu youths (reported here earlier) would end soon confirming to a settlement program under the aegis of administration. But contrary to expectation, situation has got murkier due to abrupt arrests of innocent Hindus in the vicinity and the victim families are suffering worst.

One of the prime victims has been Bhabasindhu Mandal, deputy head of Panchayat No. 2 (Jangra – Hatiara area) and in spite of being innocent (admitted by a few police officers later secretly), he was arrested on 14/07/11 from his sister’s residence in Malangapara, Swarupnagar, P.S. Swarupnagar. The role of police, in this case, was shocking as the contingent was witnessed to use abusive languages and make lewd gestures to women. To make the operation a success, three policemen from P.S. New Town, 1 police person from P.S. Swarupnagar, (all were in plain clothes) and two other persons from environs of Gouranganagar, identified as Bapan Ghosh and another one from Jabardakhal, were present.

The team, on 14/07/11 at 7.00 pm, just broke in his sister’s residence, dragged Bhabasindhu out and thrashed him mercilessly. Bapan Ghosh and his aforesaid accomplice warned the entire household unless Bhabasindhu’s cell phone was forked out to them, family members would face dire consequences. Milan Mandal, husband of Bhabasindhu Mandal’s sister, was later forced to sign a document, allegedly stating Bhabasindhu was arrested from his house. The document was written in English language and Milan is yet to comprehend this language. He, as a result, and also coerced by police personnel’s presence, signed the document without knowing its content.

Well, Bhabasindhu is not alone; apart from him, 4 others including Arup Mandal, Gobordhan Mandal, Dipankar Mandal, Amit Mandal have been arrested. FIR registered by police against them – 245 dtd. 09/07/11 and sections imposed included 243/239/325/427/34.

While talking to this scribe, residents of the colony termed every arrest was based on flimsy grounds and was done owing to administrative pressures. Furthermore, as stated by them, Nag Babu, notorious policeman of P.S. New Town, also liable for terrorizing and arresting innocent Hindus, has been transferred all of a sudden. They’re certain that this is a ploy to shroud Nag Babu’s heinous role in torturing Hindus following the turmoil on July 07, 2011.

It is worthwhile to mention that Bhabasindhu, after being arrested, was not handovered to P.S. New Town promptly. Hindu rage and its mounting resistance compelled police to take him to P.S. East Bidhannagar in Salt Lake. All 5 accused were presented to the court later on; they are in Central Jail, Dumdum at the moment.

An FIR (44/54 dtd. 09/07/11) by Hindus from Jangra – Hatiara area was lodged to P.S. New Town against Bikash Goldar and Ganesh Seal (Hindu refugees from Bangladesh originally but are now hobnobbing with Islamic miscreants to torture Hindus). Fearing their own securities, due to fiery Hindu resistance in the environs, both have surrendered to police and are also in Central Jail, Dumdum these days.

Meticulous investigation of this scribe has also revealed another horrific torture on Hindus, especially the Mandal family. Two Hindu youths of the family – Sukumar Mandal & Sunil Mandal – naive and lacking any connection to the syndicate, were arrested at 1 am on July 08. In accordance with Banalata Mandal and Sarmistha Mandal, wife of Sunil Mandal and Sukumar Mandal, respectively, a group containing 10 policemen from P.S. New Town tried to barge in the residence and break the collapsible gate at dead night.

When Sarmistha, already scared, came to front, she was ordered to open the gate. As soon as it was opened, policemen gate-crashed, molested Sarmistha, Banalata and others, tore their blouses, grabbed Sukumar and Sunil, thrashed them horrifically, took them to the police van and then to the police station. No woman police person was in the group.

Don’t these facts ascertain reigning administration is inimical to Hindus?

Hindus wounded brutally in Nadia to protest dumping of garbage by vicious Muslims

There is no need of a big or controversial issue to stimulate Muslims to torment Hindus any longer. These days, dumping of garbage by a Muslim family in lane and Hindu protests against it can also lead to wild assaults on Hindus and all any disbeliever of this reality can do is to look into anguishes of Singha family, longtime and influential inhabitant of Ramnagar Para, P.S. Shantipur, District: Nadia. 4 members of the family became subject to violent attacks of a neighboring Muslim family, dumping garbage in the common lane just to annoy them, on 13/07/11.

Here is a brief account of the horrific development on the fateful day. It must be said, before anything, that the neighboring Muslim family of Jakat Sheikh, known as notorious in the neighborhood and also to the administration, was dumping garbage in the lane for days, at a stretch, just to annoy the Hindu dominated area, especially the Singha family. Ramnagar Para contains at least 300 Hindu households against 10-12 Muslim families.

On 13/07/11, at 5 pm, family members of Jakat Sheikh were witnessed to dump garbage (having stinking smell) in the lane and pollute the neighborhood yet again. When Asok Singha, elder son of Singha family, protested against it, he was scolded and also manhandled by members of Sheikh family. To stop the fast worsening situation, Alok Singha, Ashok’s younger brother, interfered and was beaten heavily. Swapan Singha and Rama Singha, uncle and aunt of Asok and Alok respectively, also became subjects to Islamic tortures. The team of assailants included Jakat Sheikh, his three sons – Madan Sheikh, Khusu Sheikh and Khokon Sheikh.

According to witnesses, women of Sheikh family participated in the assaults on Hindus too. Lethal weapons like iron roads and Ramda (country made long dagger) were used to torture Hindus at random. The situation has shocked the neighborhood, it’s needless to say.

An FIR (Case no. 509 dated 13/07/11) has already been registered but there has not been any arrest yet. While Jakat Sheikh, victim of his own son’s brutal rod wielding activity, is in hospital, his three sons are on the run.

Hindus are getting united to stop all these nefarious activities. Police is patrolling the area.

Ashok Santra’s horrid death in Srinagar depicts Hindu fate in India best

This is a gruesome tale and revolves around the incomprehensible and shocking death of Ashok Santra, resident of village Santoshpur, P.S. Jangipara, District: Hooghly, West Bengal, in Srinagar. The death, to be precise, is not normal at all and a few creepy and unanswerable questions (regarding death) perplexing the neighborhood manifest horrendous situation Hindus in India face these days. It is to be noted that Ashok Santra, s/o Mohan Santra and father of two little daughters, was a worker in a local jewelry shop and as per locals, his professional expertise was highly admirable.

Sheikh Muzaffar, longtime friend of Ashok and also engaged in the same industry, owns a jewelry shop in Srinagar, capital of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. He made a proposal to Ashok – to handle the shop in Srinangar, pay him a set amount of money every month and have rest of the income as his own. Considering the proposal quite mouth-watering, Ashok went to Srinagar on 18/01/11. The following days of Ashok have got to be accepted as good since there was no complaint from his part to the family.

On 12/02/11 at 9 pm Ashok phoned his wife and the talk among the couple centered on casual issues like his preparations for that night’s dinner. After a few moments he said his wife that some of his friends were calling him. And the phone of Ashok was switched off. It was the last communication between Ashok Santra and his family in Bengal.

Next day, 13/02/11, Sukur Ali, brother of Sheikh Muzaffar, informed Ashok’s family that Ashok, getting intoxicated, fell from stairs of a house (close to Ashok’s abode in Srinagar) on last (12/07/11) night, and got heavy injury in his head. He also informed that Ashok’s condition, due to the accident, was at stake. The news was enough to send a shudder through the backbone of Santra family and when Sukur was phoned before long, he asked Ashok’s family members to reach Srinagar without delay.

Ashu Santra, brother of Ashok and also a jewelry worker working in Delhi, was informed by Ashok’s family of the incident soon and he reached Srinagar via plane on 14/02/11. Ashu went directly to Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, Srinagar, where Ashok was admitted. He perceived Ashok, alive till then, in a serious condition. Ashu talked to doctors in the medical institution, was informed of seriousness of Ashok’s situation and also that nothing could be said clearly before the next 48 hours. And after next 48 hours, Ashok’s situation worsened further. No friend or well-wisher of Ashok could be found at that time.

On 18/02/11, Sheikh Muzaffar and Khokon Santra, young brother of Ashok, reached Srinagar and both along with Ashu went to the location of said accident (of Ashok Santra). Local people confirmed Ashok’s fall from stairs. However, 3 Hindus there preferred to remain tight-lipped.

On 22/02/11, Ashok Santra succumbed to death at 10.15 am finally. Both of his brothers, Ashu and Khokon, were firm to take Ashok’s deceased body to Santoshpur and their insistence annoyed Muslims, including Sheikh Muzaffar, heavily. The reason of their annoyance is yet to be known but strikingly Kashmir Goldsmiths Association, under auspices of Muzaffar, agreed to pay an amount of 2 lakhs to the bereaved family of Ashok only if the deceased body was cremated in Srinagar. What was the reason? Were local Muslims desperate to hide any cruel truth? Did Ashok, being a Hindu, become victim of ghastly design?

Meanwhile, villagers of Santoshpur back home in Hooghly, Bengal, exerted pressure on Sheikh Esrael, father of Sheikh Muzaffar, to transport corpse to the village soon. Muzaffar, hearing all these, surprisingly, stopped rendering any form of assistance. To put an end to wastage of time, Rs. 50,000 was submitted to ATM account of Ashu for fast deportation of the corpse. Because of this, the corpse was carried to Kolkata by aircraft and from there to Santoshpur.

Mohan Santra, father of deceased Ashok, talked to Officer-in-Charge, P.S. Jangipara in the intervening time. But the response of police was indeed misleading. Not only Mohan was informed that it had already been late but he was also precluded from moving farther. As per Tapas Brati Chakraborty, then O.C., timely information could have led to post-mortem examination of the corpse in Srinagar.

When the corpse was brought to Santoshpur, a 1 ft. (at least) long deep wound (stretching from navel towards the chest) was found. This made villagers suspicious of factors behind Ashok’s death. But nothing could be elucidated by aghast brothers of Ashok, Ashu Santra and Khokon Santra. The corpse was cremated in the village conforming to Hindu religious rituals.

But the incident refuses to end here since a few questions, remaining unanswered yet, have come to the fore.

1. Who were Ashok’s friends calling him in the fateful night?
2. Why was such an intoxicated person not escorted while coming down through stairs?
3. Who did admit Ashok Santra to the hospital?
4. Why Ashu Santra could not find any well-wisher of Ashok in the hospital?
5. Why did 3 Hindus working in jewelry shop in Srianagar, hailing from Midnapore, prefer to remain tight-lipped on the whole?
6. Why was Kashmir Goldsmiths Association ready to pay amount of 2 lakhs to the bereaved family of Ashok? Does cremation of a Hindu in Srinagar matter to Muslims in Kashmir still?
7. Why did Sheikh Muzaffar stop helping the entire procedure all of a sudden?
8. What was the reason behind 1 ft. long deep wound in Ashok Santra’s body?
9. Why was Mohan Santra prevented from proceeding more?
10. The post-mortem examination could have been done in Bengal too, if not in Srinagar. Why was local police reluctant to conduct it then?
11. Was local police influenced by Sheikh Muzaffar and his cohorts already?
12. Was Ashok’s kidney or any other organ taken out meanwhile? Was the deep wound resembling any form of clandestine surgical operation?

Without a shred of doubt Ashok Santra became a victim of venomous Islamic revulsion to Hindus. Circumstantial evidences point towards the same, indisputably.

Would other Hindus going to Kashmir have to share the same fate?

Hindus in New Town suffering Muslim savagery

If a meek Hindu lives in an area surrounded by Muslim localities (known as arsenals too), he has got to conform to their whims to remain alive. But if he is different, fierce struggles daily become a part of his life and in this regard, Hindus inhabiting Gouranganagar Udvastu Colony, P.S. New Town, District: 24 Paraganas (North) are no different.

On 07/07/11 the deep trouble that erupted leading to arrests of two innocent Hindu youths was the fallout of same daily confrontations. People of Gouranganagar, a prominent Hindu citadel, formed their own syndicate to supply cement, stone chips, sand and others at money-spinning prices to residential or industrial projects in the vicinity. The syndicate was doing the same regarding a housing complex (under construction) in New Town earning wrath of Muslim traders, engaged in same business.

It has come to the knowledge that majority of Muslims, also Trinamool Congress (TMC) activists, in surrounding areas of Jangra, Ghuni and Jatragachi consider that 80% of the business would go to them owing to present TMC reign in West Bengal. And this view led to fracas between the two warring communities from time to time.

Hindu-Muslim fighting, regarding the same issue, took place on July 07, 2011 evening again. But to call the intensifying conflict a halt, police interfered and arrested two Hindu youths – Sukumar Mandal & Sunil Mandal – completely innocent and devoid of any connection to the syndicate, at 1 am on July 08. The incident was enough to rouse the Hindu dominated environs.

Hindu might got best visible when at least 1,500 Hindus gheraoed the local police station throughout the day demanding their release.

Sukumar Mandal and Sunil Mandal were later produced to the court and released.

Officer-in-Charge of P.S. New Town told villagers candidly that he had been forced to do so and that 12 sections of IPC (Indian Penal Code) imposed on two Hindu youths would be withdrawn before long. While the tussle was going on, villagers were informed that Aftab-ud-din, president, TMC Youth Front, and his group were seen to supply stone chips and other materials to the same residential complex violating the past agreement.

It is to be noted, on July 07, 2011, before presence of O.C. of P.S. New Town, an agreement was made between Hindus and Muslims that no material would be supplied to the very housing complex.

Hearing the act of Aftab-ud-din Hindus rushed to the spot and thrashed him and the entire group. Even local TMC and BJP members got involved in thrashing. Thrashing led to rancor in the neighborhood and to calm the fast worsening situation down, FIR was lodged against 8 Hindu males. 2 of them have already been bailed out while 6 others are absconding still.

Gouranganagar Udvastu Colony is still scared stiff and owing to police torturing and patrol, many Hindu male members are outside the village.

Hindus subdue Muslim molesters in Ulto Rath Yatra, Jhinki

Ulto Rath Yatra, like Rath Yatra festival, is observed with reverence throughout Indian state of West Bengal but today, the joyous mood was disrupted in Jhinki, P.S. Mograhat, District: 24 Paraganas (South), owing to bids of Muslim boys to molest Hindu girls in the crowd and Hindu protests against it leading to a scuffle.

The fracas took place only at 7.15 pm when a vast crowd, containing no less than 3 to 4 thousands of people, gathered to enjoy the Ulto Rath Yatra festival in Jhinki. Little did Hindus know that the crowd was having a large presence of Muslim youths, intending to molest Hindu girls only, as well.

Problem started when on earth a few Muslim boys were found to molest Hindu girls. Even if the girls protested loudly, shameless Muslim cronies went on doing the same. Such an annoying problem alarmed members of Hindu Samhati present in the crowd. Sudip, age 22 years and student of B.A. (Hons.), and Kartik, student of Madhyamik, both active members of Hindu Samhati, challenged the Muslim youths. This led to a scuffle followed by a huge fighting between the two factions.

Even if Muslims in the vicinity are known for their strong-arm tactics, Hindu Samhati members overpowered them.

In accordance with latest news, local police has interfered, divided the crowd in two opposite halves and calmed the incident down.

Hindu Samhati’s July meeting proclaims firmer conviction

Hindu Samhati’s (monthly) meeting in July, to be precise, has to be termed as thriving and factors responsible behind this are quite a few. Owing to intensifying struggles of Hindu Samhati to defend Hindu interest, more and more Hindu areas (in different parts of Indian state of Bengal) undergoing Muslim-led atrocities are getting attached to it leading to generation of newer activists. All these were present in the July meeting depicting a picture of firmer conviction. Number of attendees in the meeting, representing lots of areas, was more than hundred.

The meeting commenced with the traditional “Om Shanti” mantra and incidents regarding rising Islamic torturing with tacit political supports on Hindus and valorous Hindu resistances against those came to the fore straight away. One of these areas happens to be Jangipara, community development block situated in Sreerampore, Hooghly district in West Bengal, where situation is worsening with each day it passes.

The changed political scenario in Bengal, following the overthrow of CPM-led Left Front and reigning ascendancy of Trinamool Congress in its place, were also taken into consideration. Even if experiences vary between areas, it is being learnt that rise of Trinamool Congress has stimulated Muslim cronies to go on with their perilous designs largely. All these indicate that en masse tactical voting of Muslim community in Bengal is making it triumphant altogether.

In accordance with representatives of Canning II in district South 24 Paraganas, Muslims, following the Assembly Election 2011, disregarding political affiliations, are working en bloc. Hindus, therefore, have become worst sufferers there. Prior to the election Muslims, in spite of opting for two warring political parties, CPM and Trinamool, thanks to their intra-community bond, emerged victorious at every time. The success has intensified these days. Expulsion of local powerful thug Shaukat Mollah from CPM, for hobnobbing with Trinamool leadership, is a new development in the post-election scenario.

The situation in Malda is almost the same and Block No. 3, known as Hindu bastion till the other day, is experiencing intrusion of Muslims in large numbers. As said by representatives of Nadia, Muslims in Shantipur are making great efforts to fix microphone atop of the largest mosque, mainstay of local Muslims, in the neighborhood. Hindus there are fighting tooth and nail to stop it but the situation is worsening.

Even if other areas do not represent such harrowing tales, it is evident that hell may let loose at any moment. Hindu Samhati activists are keeping close watch on every development.

Tapan Ghosh, president of Hindu Samhati, to make the coming Rakhi Purnima a success, advised HS activists to celebrate the social function with sobriety. He advised them that they should tie Rakhi to hands of administrative and police personnel and separate teams must visit border areas and tie Rakhi to hands of BSF personnel.

Kolkata intellectuals lambast fresh bid to have pro-Islamic constitution in Bangladesh

Endeavor of reigning Awami League-led Government in Bangladesh to retain “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” and Islam as State Religion through fresh amendment of Constitution, squashing hopes of secularists and Hindu minorities there of apposite restoration of Secular Constitution of 1972, and its feeble exculpation that some ‘realities’ forced it to do so leading to strong dissents there has touched the shores of Kolkata too and depiction of the same was witnessed in the press conference held under aegis of CAAMB (Campaign Against Atrocities on Minorities in Bangladesh), Kolkata-based human rights organization well-known for its struggles against minority persecution in Bangladesh, on 08/07/11.

Active presence of lots of Hindu Samhati members in the conference intensified success.

Dignitaries partaking in the said press conference included Dr. Mohit Ray (CAAMB), Dr. Ratan Khasnabis (Economist, University of Calcutta), Sri Subir Bhowmik (Journalist and expert on Bangladesh affairs), Sri Bimal Pramanik (Head, Center for Studies on Indo-Bangla Relations), Sri Ratneswar Sarkar (President, All India Refugee Front), Sri Kalikrishna Guha (Poet and Social Activist). The meeting was also participated by Dr. Sabyasachi Ghosh Dastidar (Department of Politics, Economics and Law, State University of New York, Old Westbury).

It can certainly be said that this approach of Awami League Government has not only delighted and strengthened Islamic fundamentalists in Bangladesh but has terrified minority groups– on the way to oblivion, once more also.

Speaking in the meeting Sri Ratneswar Sarkar stated apparently how the two-nation theory, propounded by MA Jinnah and Muslim League during the last days of British Empire, led to atrocities, anguishes and State-sponsored Hindu persecution in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). He also congratulated organizers of the conference to be vocal against the latest nefarious design of amending the Constitution in Bangladesh, stimulating hard-liners there only, and put forward that Bangladesh must forsake this novel bid once and for all.

Sri Bimal Pramanik, at the inception of his speaking, made it clear that Sheikh Hasina, reigning Prime Minister of Bangladesh, had no role in the Liberation War of Bangladesh. As per him, despite making glorious sacrifices for the cause of Bangladesh, including in its war of Liberation from Pakistan, Hindus have virtually no position in the nation. He also stated that amendments of constitution and of Enemy Property Act on the anvil were flag bearers of worst.

Dr. Ratan Khasnabis stated without reservation that Bangladesh had gone through a Pakistan-like situation for decades. In accordance with him, no nation can develop if not it admits all of its citizens devoid of discrimination. He also made it clear if Bangladesh degenerates more, a substantial portion of its citizens will lose faith on the nation. As per him, apart from Hindus and other minority groups, secular Muslims will be the greatest sufferers, and if the fresh amendment continues, Bangladesh will lose its legitimacy yet again.

Sri Kalikrishna Guha made it clear once all these rot sets in anywhere like Bangladesh, ill-fortune remains the one and only companion. He requested the Bangladeshi Government to rectify its stand once more and save the country from the impending doomsday, its settled effect.

Sri Subir Bhowmik citing his experiences in recent Sector Commanders’ Conference where it was reiterated time and again that Bangladesh, without any secular outlook, had no future, stated that the amendment was not a mistake but felo-de-se or self-annihilation. On the word him, even after lots of years, Awami League can’t win the election on its own. It can only if Bangladeshis opt for the party en masse. Speaking on the creation of Bangladesh, he posited with conviction had there been no Agartala Conspiracy Case 1968, Shiekh Mujibur Rahman wouldn’t have become BangaBandhu and also that despite being an ardent secular, Shiekh Hasina remains surrounded by a coterie of pro-Pakistan officials.

He was also found to stick a knife into Indian foreign policy for decades and recounted how it has miserably failed to differentiate between its friends and foes.

As indicated by him, India’s execrable offense in foreign policy scenario took place in 2001, period witnessing worst religious persecutions on Hindus in Bangladesh, when Brajesh Mishra, then National Security Advisor and Principal Secretary to Indian Prime Minister, A.B. Vajpayee, being the first foreign dignitary went to Bangladesh to congratulate Begum Khaleda Zia on her landslide in nation-wide election. It is alleged, BNP, political party of Begum Khaleda Zia, in tandem with Muslim hardliners, was accountable to inflict worst torturing on Hindus then.

Dr. Sabyasachi Ghosh Dastidar, through this brief speech, brought forth a new view; terming each and every development towards hard-line Islam in earlier East Pakistan and present Bangladesh as ominous to Hindus. He also made it clear that Bangladesh War of 1971 was a brilliant maneuver of Pakistani leadership to racially exterminate Hindus. According to him, an assortment of facts and figures authenticate outright that more than 90% of martyrs in War of 1971 were Hindus.
