  • West Bengal a Warning for India the Decline of West Bengal Is a Clear Indicator of the Grim Wages of Political Brinkmanship
    Culture & Pluralism of Bengal Under Seize State Patronage to Communalism — Editorial Advisor — Prof. Rakesh Sinha — Editorial Desk — Dr. Alok Sharma, Dr. Geeta Bhatt & Ananya Sanyal Research Assitance Vaishali Raj, Preeti Kalra, Bhanu Kumar Editorial Assistance Shiv Kumar Singh Published by INDIA POLICY FOUNDATION New Delhi-110016 Email: [email protected] Website: www.indiapolicyfoundation.org © India Policy Foundation Edition First, March 2017 ISBN: 978-93-84835-21-7 Price: 80/- Designed by SBM DIGITECH Preface Situation in West Bengal a Warning for India The decline of West Bengal is a clear indicator of the grim wages of political brinkmanship. The economy of the state is in shambles and society is fractured by communalism. This decadence marks a departure from the Bengal that was the depository of rich legacy in culture, science, spirituality and economy. Great sons of the land impacted the nation’s destiny by their unmatched contributions. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ramakrishna Parmahans, Swami Vivekananda, Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, Bankim Chandra, Rabindranath Tagore, Subhash Chandra Bose, Dr. Syamaprasad Mookerjee and Trailokya Nath Chakravarty are a few names among many more who left an indelible mark on India’s history. During the freedom struggle Bengal was a breeding ground of revolutionaries. Why does West Bengal present such a miserable picture now? Political brinkmanship is a major reason for its fall. Both Marxists and Mamata have destroyed it. Punjab and Bengal suffered the most during Partition, with killings of innocents driven by religious frenzy becoming their horrifying narrative. Pro-Pakistan elements, realizing that mere propaganda was not enough to create Muslim mass support for Pakistan used conspiracy theories to convince Muslims that poverty, unemployment and illiteracy were the handiwork of Hindus; the colonial regime backed this propaganda by forming the one-man Hunter Committee to ‘ascertain’ the reasons of Muslim backwardness.

  • Analysing the Anti CAA Violence in West Bengal
    December 2020 Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Research Foundation Analysing the Anti CAA Violence in West Bengal Dr Mohit Ray Shri Sujit Sikdar Published by DR SYAMA PRASAD MOOKERJEE RESEARCH FOUNDATION & REFUGEE CELL, BJP WEST BENGAL Analysing the Anti CAA Violence in West Bengal (Analysis of the anti-CAA Violence in West Bengal between 13th - 15th December, 2019 in the light of the Newspaper Reports) Dr Mohit Ray Shri Sujit Sikdar (Translated from original Bengali by Ms Ahana Chaudhuri) Background The Citizenship Amendment Bill (henceforth CAB) was passed in the Lok Sabha on 10th December 2019. On the very next day, i.e. 11th December 2019, the Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha. On 12th December, the President of India signed the Bill; and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) came into force. The law was brought into existence through completely democratic and constitutional means. It is absolutely normal for political parties in the opposition to hold different views when a particular law is enacted in a democracy. Even protests against the law at various levels can be lodged as a democratic way of dissent. However, the violence that took place between 13th and 15th December 2019, in West Bengal in the name of protest, and those who perpetrated atrocities, reminded many of the days preceding the formation of Pakistan in 1946. Newspaper accounts and analyses of those terrible days are recorded in this booklet so that in the days to come, the people of West Bengal do not forget those three days when the state had virtually turned into a mini-Pakistan.
