Bengal's Partition: Hindu Genocide and Exodus
Description
The sources provide an impassioned overview of the Hindu genocide and exodus that occurred in Bengal and East Pakistan following the 1947 partition of India. The text asserts that the systematic killing, rape, forced conversions, and displacement of Hindus in areas like Noakhali, Barisal, and Dhaka have been largely ignored by West Bengal's intellectual community and political figures. It details specific massacres and atrocities, such as the 1950 Dhaka violence and the Kalshira massacre, arguing that this history is crucial for understanding the widespread suffering and trauma experienced by Hindu refugees. Furthermore, the sources lament the lack of historical recognition for these events and question whether the violence and partition ultimately led to any positive development for the subcontinent.
