It’s interesting you mentioned the “jabar dakhal” movement in West Bengal, which turned Hindu refugees from East Bengal into impoverished squatters. These starving Bangaal refugees were manipulated into becoming permanent vote-banks for the CPI(M), thanks to another Bangaal – Mr.Prasanta Sur (first Communist Mayor of Kolkata and a subsequent state-level minister)

Its important to understand the psyche of Prasanta Sur, as it may provide us a glimpse into the psyche of these Communists who fled from East Bengal and took dictatorial control of the destiny of West Bengal.

The Communists ran from Muslim mobs in East Bengal as fast their legs could carry them, with their tails carefully tucked between their legs and without a whimper or fight. Only in India, did these mice have the guts to come out and roar like hyenas.

“Rai Saheb” Nagendra Kumar Sur, an eminent lawyer in Noakhali, was killed like a dog by the Muslim League faithful. (Read his eye-opening story below, from “India Today”).

His son, Prasanta Sur fled to West Bengal and like millions of other Bangaals, joined the Communist Party en masse.

Just imagine what their plight in East Bengal/East Pakistan/Bangladesh would have been, had they not left. Their convert cousins (including Golam Azam and Bangla Bhai) would have butchered them just like they massacred the brave Hindus who stayed behind.

These Communists’ forefathers were hunted like dogs in Bangladesh and were killed, converted or driven away to India.

And what do these Commies do again? They lick the feet of those very killers. They allow Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators to cross over to India in the millions and provide them readily with Voters ID Cards and Ration Cards, thereby dealing a “double whammy” on India by:

(i) swelling the ranks of “the Believers” in West Bengal and creating a Lebensraum for the complete Islamisation of India

(ii) nullifying two things that the Hindus took for granted post-partition viz: demographic security and freedom from a total genocide.

With the Muslim population of West Bengal at 28% and rising, where will YOU run to, now? This time, there will be no “other” Bengal to run to.

Rai Saheb Nagendra Kumar Sur was a leading lawyer of Noakhali in East Bengal in 1946. When the pro-Pakistan riots broke out that year, he was kidnapped by a Muslim League gang, taken to a lonely spot and asked to dig his own grave. Sur told his abductors that since he was going to be killed in any case, there was no reason why he should oblige them. He was bluntly told that if he obeyed he would die swiftly, otherwise death would be slow and painful. Sur is said to have obliged. He was then beheaded.

Sur’s son is Prasanta Sur who fled to India, joined the Communist Party, became a stalwart of the refugee movement and was even mayor of Calcutta. When Tathagata Roy met him on a number of occasions to talk about the refugee experience, he preferred to be silent about his father’s brutal murder.

A refusal to reopen a family trauma could be a reason for this silence. However, assessed in terms of how at least two generations of Hindus from erstwhile East Pakistan reacted to Partition, a different conclusion is inescapable. An entire community, it would seem, went into a state of denial about its collective misfortune. It was almost as if the victims were desperate to pretend that a horrible ethnic cleansing hadn’t taken place in East Pakistan. A community that was in the forefront of militant nationalism during the freedom struggle was cornered into forgetting the assaults on its dignity.

Roy’s polemic on the post-Partition trauma in Bengal attempts to grapple with this phenomenon. He goes over the history of the exodus of some six million Hindus from East Pakistan-it didn’t happen at one go in 1947 but was spread over 25 years-and locates the wilful denial of the past in a spurious reconstruction of the state’s Hindu-Muslim relations. He narrates a forgotten story of how intimidation, rape, murder and religious terror contributed in the dispossession of Hindus after 1947.

Roy is not a professional historian and his work is often marred by an imperfect handling of evidence and shoddy editing. Despite these shortcomings, this is an important book. Whereas the horrors of Partition have become a trendy theme to beat the Indo-Pak peace drum in north India, its fallout in the east has been greeted with squeamishness. Roy’s book not only explains why but also offers sufficient leads for others to take the story further.

You may have heard of Prof. Tathagata Roy’s book. It’s called “My People, Uprooted – A Saga of the Hindus of Eastern Bengal”

I invite you and other GB readers to critique Prof. Tathagata Roy’s book which is available to read online – free of cost – at: http://bengalvoice.blogspot.com

I wonder what a nice party to support in India . Guess we need more people like this – http://www.lok-paritran.org/, though I have not read much of their ideology and can’t comment on their credibility.

The sad truth is that even if educated people become leaders, they are sure to succumb to party and coalition politics. However, if greatbong runs for Prime Minister, I’ll vote for sure .

i used to love watching his sermons on QTV (which has strangely disappeared off late).

He has a lisp and his invective is similar to Daffy Duck. He goes like ‘spho Allah hasph sphoken..’.

My favourite was his scientific justification of polygamy (all mammalian societies have extra females, except of course for India). Also Jay Leno has nothing on the ‘official islamic way to wear a coat’.

i miss QTV.
