Are Hindus moving towards Hindu-less Greater Bengal?
The way Mamata
Didi is appeasing Islamists in Bengal leading to their exponential growth in
all sectors of life and Hindus are being cleansed ethnically from Bangladesh –
it seems that the unfulfilled dream of Suhrawardy – Greater Bengal – also
supported by Communists elatedly – will not remain a distant dream anymore. If
the (existing) brutal saga continues, the dream may turn into a reality within
the next decade sealing fate of Hindus inhabiting this part of Indian
subcontinent finally.
What will Hindus
do then count on them solely but if some of them prefer to remain “sickular”
still, they ought to read the writing on the wall and have info of Hindu
persecution in Bangladesh, erstwhile East Pakistan, from their Hindu fellows on
the other side of the border.
Here is a small
extract from “A Socio Political History of Bengal and birth of Bangladesh” by
Kamruddin Ahmed, Dacca (ex-Pakistani diplomat), Fourth Edition, 1975 focusing
on the nitty-gritty of the saga of Greater Bengal as proposed by Suhrawardy and
supported by Communists wholeheartedly.
“Greater Bengal
provided for, to establishment of an independent state for Bengali speaking
people in Eastern India. The territory would extend from Purnea to Assam. The
nucleus of the state would be known as Central Bengal and would consist of
districts of Muslim majority Chittagong, Dacca, Presidency and Rajshahi
divisions and Sylhet district.”
“The rest of
Assam would be known as Eastern Zone. Districts of Burdwan division and Purnea
would form Western Region. The Assembly, would have representation on
fifty-fifty basis but the Prime Minister would always be a Muslim.”
The proposal,
put forward 65 years ago, thus, remains relevant still.
And as discussed
already, present developments are pointing towards execution of the same
proposal more successfully – with one difference – Greater Bengal would be
without Hindus and Hindus are moving towards the same speedily.
