> Title: Need to rename the Silchar Railway Station as Basha Sahid Station and Agartala-Silchar Express as Basha Sahid Express. SHRI LALIT MOHAN SUKLABAIDYA (KARIMGANJ): Hon. Deputy-Speaker, Sir, I want to raise a very sentimental issue of our valley, the Barak Valley. In the year 1961, in Barak Valley there was an unprecedented non-violent movement and the demand was to induct Bengali as one of the State languages in Assam. As a part of that movement, on 19th of May that year there was a programme of Satyagraha in a railway station. On that day, police fired on 11 Satyagrahis who became martyrs for the cause of our language.[KMR17] [p18] The 40-lakh people of our Valley were united and people from all the political parties, all religions and castes joined the movement. Now, they want to pay tribute to those martyrs. They demanded that the Silchar Railway Station, where those Satyagrahis became martyrs, be re-named as Bhasha Saheed Station, and the Agartala-Silchar Express Train be re- named as Bhasha Saheed Express. The people of our Valley want to pay homage to the martyrs who laid their lives for our language. I know that the hon. Railway Minister is considering that case. It is under the consideration of the Railway Ministry. But my request is that this change as desired by the people of our Valley may be accorded as soon as possible so that we can pay homage to our martyrs:- who will be remembered foreover. MR. DEPUTY-SPEAKER: I have received just now three more names; since today is the last day of the Session, as a special case, I will allow only these three more names and not more..

> Title: Need to rename Silchar railway station as 'Bhasha Shahid Station'. *SHRI PRASANTA KUMAR MAJUMDAR (BALURGHAT) : Respected Chairman Sir, through you I would like to draw the kind attention of Hon. Minster of Home Affairs to a matter of great public importance. You are aware that there are large number of Bengali speaking people in the State of Assam. Bengalis have been staying there for many years; even before Partition, they were there. So along with Assamese language, Bengali language was also a medium of instruction in the schools of Assam. In the year 1960, Assamese language was given recognition by the Government of Assam. Since then, the Bengali population has been fighting for the recognition of Bengali language. On 19 May, 1961, this language struggle took a major turn in Barak valley of Silchar. Assam Police opened fire on the activists as a result of which 11 persons died. In 1962, during the Indo − China war, this language movement stopped. As that time, the Bengali speaking people demanded that the Silchar railway station should be renamed as "Bhasha Shahid Station'. Cutting across party line, Hon. Members of Lok Sabha and Assembly, ministers as well as the common people of Assam have, in one voice, reiterated this demand. Hon. Chief Minister of Assam, Shri Tarun Gogai has given the No-objection Certificate but still this demand has not been met. I received my education in Assam and am well aware of the sentiments of the Bengali population of the State. Thus I urge upon the Central Government to pay due homage to the language martyrs by renaming the Silchar station as 'Bhasha Shahid Station'.

Introduction The Northeast Frontier Railway with a total route length of 4136.13 Km, is one of the 17 (Seventeen) Zonal Railways of India and serves as the life line or the main artery for movement of people and essential commodities for the entire region comprising Bihar, North Bengal, Sikkim and the 'Seven Sisters of the North-East, Viz Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. The Northeast Frontier Railway is also strategically very important as the North-East Region is practically surrounded by international border on all sides except the narrow neck connection it has with the rest of India. The area of Northeast Frontier Railway operation is characterized by exceptional beauty at the same time by some of the most arduous terrain. Despite severe constraints due to natural calamities and disturbances, this Railway has been adequately carrying essential commodities into this region and helping in transporting local products out of this region. During the year 2017-18 the total Freight Traffic carried was 35.11 million tones. Salient Features:- The salient features of progress from 1958-59 to 2017-2018 are as under:- Particulars 1958-1959 2017-2018 (a) Capital at charge(Rs.

NW-16 DPR Barak
DPR for development of Lakhipur-Bhanga Stretch of Barak River for Shipping & Navigation CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PREAMBLE Rivers constitute an important means of transport in Eastern India comprising of North Eastern States, West Bengal and parts of Bihar. India embarked upon a large programme of agricultural and industrial production which was resulted in substantial increase in the movement of cargo traffic. In addition to the above, the change in economic policy and rapid increase in industrialization during the past and present decade created huge impact on existing traffic movement by various modes. Due to the surge in road traffic, Govt. of India focussed attention in widening and relaying of National Highways including construction of major time bound projects such as Golden Quadrilateral and other express corridors. In similar fashion, dedicated rail corridors for the movement of goods by rail are in the implementation stage by the Government. Hence, it is evident that all modes of transport need to be developed and the vital role which rivers can play in meeting the ever increasing transport needs for a faster economy could not be ignored. Water based transport is effective as generally speaking, operating costs of fuel are low and environmental pollution is lower than for corresponding volumes of movement by road, rail or air. A major advantage is that the main infrastructure “the waterway” – is often naturally available, which then has to be trained, maintained and upgraded. Transport over waterways is especially effective when the source and/or destination are waterfront locations. The potential for this mode of transport has been unquestioned over the years and it forms a significant fraction of ton-km of movement in countries across the world.

This is for the first time in the history of the United Nations (UN), Maldives will hold the office of President at the UNGA. Abdulla Shahid’s victory at the UNGA Presidential election is a “proud accomplishment” and “a step forward in elevating the country’s stature on the global stage”. Maldives’ decision to join the UN in 1965, immediately after its independence, sparked a debate on how a “microstate”, could possibly contribute to the organisation. Over the years, Maldives has cleared all the doubts by raising its voice on issues of concern and playing a prominent role in the UN as well as in the other multilateral organisations including the Commonwealth.

Little Sylhet: a Report on the East Bengali Community in Barak Valley, Southern Assam
Little Sylhet: A Report on The East Bengali Community in Barak Valley, Southern Assam Pallab Deb and Samiksha Bhan Introduction Our everyday interaction in the social world is characterized by certain points of reference that we use to define who we are. Every utterance, or action, or thought has an etymology and a sense of where it’s coming from in the space of the social. The inevitable consequence of such interaction is that it creates identities that can be of varying kinds: ethnic, linguistic, regional, national etc. All of these identities depend on the social space and the character of time that shape them into being. An essential coming together of geography and historicity, contra Lefebvre (1991), can in turn be the mechanism through which we can understand the formation of identity. This ethnography is an attempt to unravel what constitutes a diasporic identity, and how the diasporic community reconstructs the cultural environment of its lost homeland, by studying the experience of the Sylheti community in Barak Valley, South Assam. The migration of the Sylhetis from Sylhet (now in Bangladesh) took place in phases going back to the colonial era. The Sylhetis were one of the Bengali communities to have worked closely with the British Raj as clerks, doctors, lawyers and tea estate officials, having received an English education and exploited it for their benefits. It was for increasing the financial viability of the Assamese province which had been a self-ruled kingdom that Sylhet was incorporated within its territory in 1874 by the British (Dasgupta 2008). Only at the time of Partition did it become essential for the British to hold the Sylhet referendum as it grew to be a Muslim majority region, following a trajectory similar to the princely state of Kashmir.
