    This page intentionally left blank The Spoils of Partition The partition of India in 1947 was a seminal event of the twentieth century. Much has been written about the Punjab and the creation of West Pakistan; by contrast, little is known about the partition of Bengal. This remarkable book by an acknowledged expert on the subject assesses partition’s huge social, economic and political consequences. Using previously unexplored sources, the book shows how and why the borders were redrawn, as well as how the creation of new nation states led to unprecedented upheavals, massive shifts in population and wholly unexpected transformations of the political landscape in both Bengal and India. The book also reveals how the spoils of partition, which the Congress in Bengal had expected from the new boundaries, were squan- dered over the twenty years which followed. This is an original and challenging work with findings that change our understanding of parti- tion and its consequences for the history of the sub-continent. JOYA CHATTERJI, until recently Reader in International History at the London School of Economics, is Lecturer in the History of Modern South Asia at Cambridge, Fellow of Trinity College, and Visiting Fellow at the LSE.

We, the Hindus of Bengal happen to be one of the worst victims of Islamic intolerance in the world.

We had a respite from Islamic rule for about two hundred years after the English East India Company defeated the Muslim ruler of Bengal. Siraj-ud-daulah in 1757.

Gandhi’s Mission 13.3 Bihar Riots and Critical Dilemma 13.4 Gandhi’s Lonely Journey 13.5 Idea of Fearlessness and Courage 13.6 Responsibility 13.7 Moral and Ethical Critique 13.8 Summary 13.9 Terminal Questions Suggested Readings 13.1 INTRODUCTION When the national movement was reaching a crescendo in 1946-47, there were tremendous expectations of the impending freedom all round. At the same time the idea of having a free Pakistan, which the Muslim League had been demanding and mobilising for, had also been agitating human emotions. Communalism, which had attacked a composite Indian nationalism, was coming to the centre stage and there were violent overtones of the communal mobilisation that could be seen from across the country. On 16 August 1946, Calcutta, the capital of the Bengal Presidency witnessed one of the worst communal riots, which consumed the life of many a people in a span of four days. Seven weeks later the easternmost districts of Bengal bordering Burma, Noakhali and Tippera, burst into violence. There were attacks on people of different communities and violence overtook the humanitarian outlook. It was in such a situation that Gandhi decided to come to Noakhali. Aims and Objectives After reading this Unit, you would be able to understand The context of dilemmas prior to the Partition Gandhi’s peace mission in the riot-affected areas The moral and courageous stand of Gandhi in a critical phase. 13.2 WHY NOAKHALI? GANDHI’S MISSION Gandhi, it seems, had already seen in the Calcutta riots of August 1946 the potential for greater, escalated violence probably on the scale of a civil war: ‘We are not yet in the midst of a civil war’, he said, ‘but we are nearing it.

    People, Politics and Protests I Calcutta & West Bengal, 1950s – 1960s Sucharita Sengupta & Paula Banerjee Anwesha Sengupta 2016 1. Refugee Movement: Another Aspect of Popular Movements in West Bengal in the 1950s and 1960s Sucharita Sengupta & Paula Banerjee 1 2. Tram Movement and Teachers’ Movement in Calcutta: 1953-1954 Anwesha Sengupta 25 Refugee Movement: Another Aspect of Popular Movements in West Bengal in the 1950s and 1960s ∗ Sucharita Sengupta & Paula Banerjee Introduction By now it is common knowledge how Indian independence was born out of partition that displaced 15 million people. In West Bengal alone 30 lakh refugees entered until 1960. In the 1970s the number of people entering from the east was closer to a few million. Lived experiences of partition refugees came to us in bits and pieces. In the last sixteen years however there is a burgeoning literature on the partition refugees in West Bengal. The literature on refugees followed a familiar terrain and set some patterns that might be interesting to explore. We will endeavour to explain through broad sketches how the narratives evolved. To begin with we were given the literature of victimhood in which the refugees were portrayed only as victims. It cannot be denied that in large parts these refugees were victims but by fixing their identities as victims these authors lost much of the richness of refugee experience because even as victims the refugee identity was never fixed as these refugees, even in the worst of times, constantly tried to negotiate with powers that be and strengthen their own agency. But by fixing their identities as victims and not problematising that victimhood the refugees were for a long time displaced from the centre stage of their own experiences and made “marginal” to their narratives.

  • Noakhali Riots: This Day in History – Oct 10
    Noakhali Riots: This Day in History – Oct 10 On 10 October 1946, riots engulfed the Noakhali and Tipperah Districts of Bengal (in present-day Bangladesh) where the Hindu community was targeted. This is an important event in the modern history of the subcontinent, which ultimately led to partition of India. Hence, it is important to know about this tragic event for the IAS exam.In 1946, the times were tense in many parts of the subcontinent. The British had promised to grant independence to its prized colony but there was no concrete decision on how to go about the transfer of power. ● The Muslim League was demanding a separate Muslim state of Pakistan. This was not agreed upon by the Indian National Congress. Areas, where there was not a clear majority for one of the two communities, were reeling in tension as to what would happen; whether the country would be partitioned and if that took place, which side of the border would they lie. This tension was causing sporadic riots in places. ● The Muslim League called for Direct Action and August 16, 1946 was announced as the ‘Direct Action Day’ to show their strength. The League leaders called for ‘action’ in ​ order to get their demand for Pakistan fulfilled. ● Many provocative speeches were made and this resulted in one of the worst communal riots in history – the Great Calcutta Killings.

  • East Bengali Refugee Narratives of Communal Violence
    Interrogating Victimhood: East Bengali Refugee Narratives of Communal Violence Nilanjana Chatterjee Department of Anthropology University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Introduction In this paper I am interested in analyzing the self-representation of Hindu East Bengali refugees as victims of Partition violence so as to historicize and politicize their claims to inclusion within India and their entitlement to humanitarian assistance in the face of state and public disavowal. I focus on the main components of their narratives of victimhood, which tend to be framed in an essentializing rhetoric of Hindu-Muslim difference and involve the demonization of “the Muslim.” I conclude with a brief consideration of the implications of this structure of prejudice for relations between the two communities in West Bengal and the rise of Hindu fundamentalism nationwide. A story I was told while researching East Bengali refugee agency and self-settlement strategies in West Bengal bring these issues together for me in a very useful way. Dr. Shantimoy Ray, professor of history and East Bengali refugee activist had been sketching the history of the refugee squatter colony Santoshpur, referred to the enduring sense of betrayal, loss and anger felt by East Bengalis after the partition of Bengal in 1947: becoming strangers in their own land which constituted part of the Muslim nation of Pakistan, being forced to leave and rebuild their lives in West Bengal in India, a “nation” that was nominally theirs but where they were faced with dwindling public sympathy and institutional apathy. Spurred by their bastuhara (homeless) condition-- a term which gained political significance and which referred to their Partition victimhood, groups of middle and working class refugees began to “grab” land and resettle themselves in West Bengal.
