PREFACE What prompted us in writing this Book. As the saying goes, truth is the first casualty of war; so is true history, the first casualty of India’s struggle for independence. We, the Hindus of Bengal happen to be one of the worst victims of Islamic intolerance in the world. Bengal, which had been under Islamic attack for centuries, beginning with the invasion of the Turkish marauder Bakhtiyar Khilji eight hundred years back. 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. But gradually, Bengal had been turned into a Muslim majority province. -

1. Introduction
Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

Fazlul Huq, Peasant Politics and the Formation of the Krishak Praja Party (KPP)
2 Fazlul Huq, Peasant Politics and the Formation of the Krishak Praja Party (KPP) In all parts of India, the greater portion of the total population is, and always has been, dependent on the land for its existence and subsistence. During the colonial rule, this was absolutely true in the case of Bengal as a whole and particularly so of its eastern districts. In this connection, it should be mentioned here that the Muslim masses even greater number than the Hindus, were more concentrated in agriculture which is clearly been reflected in the Bengal Census of 1881: “………..while the husbandmen among the Hindus are only 49.28 per cent, the ratio among the Muslims is 62.81 per cent”.1 The picture was almost the same throughout the nineteenth century and continued till the first half of the twentieth century. In the different districts of Bengal, while the majority of the peasants were Muslims, the Hindus were mainly the landowning classes. The Census of 1901 shows that the Muslims formed a larger portion of agricultural population and they were mostly tenants rather than landlords. In every 10,000 Muslims, no less than 7,316 were cultivators, but in the case of the Hindus, the figure was 5,555 amongst the same number (i.e. 10,000) of Hindu population. But the proportion of landholders was only 170 in 10,000 in the case of Muslims as against 217 in the same number of Hindus.2 In the district of Bogra which was situated in the Rajshahi Division, the Muslims formed more than 80% of the total population. -

Chapter IV Minor Political Parties and Bengal Politics: 1939-1947
Chapter IV Minor Political Parties and Bengal Politics: 1939-1947 The final debacle of the leftists in the Tripuri session of the Congress of 1939 was resulted in the formation of a Left Consolidation Committee bv Subhas Bose for the purpose of bringing together the quarreling factions of the lefts. The committee set the ground for the unification of the entire radical anti imperialist elements on the basis of a minimum programme. The CSP, the CPI and the Royists apparently showed their eagerness to work with the Left Consolidation Committee but stood against the idea of joining the proposed new party of Subhas Chandra Bose. After his formal resignation from the Congress Presidentship, he declared the formation of Forward Block on 3rd May, 1939 as a left platform within the Congress at a public meeting in Calcutta.^ Among its three major objectives the idea of consolidating the leftist forces or launching an uncompromising struggle against the British had carried with it a direct appeal to the masses as well as to the other left parties.^ But the very objective of wining over the majority section of the Congress indeed opened the scopes for further explanation and confusion. In fact the leftist forces in 1939 had a numbers of reasons to defend their own position and the platform of left consolidation broke up under pressures from different angles. On one point all most all the important forces agreed with the other that in no circumstances they would join the Forward Block and if possible organize their own independent party." In case of the CPI, the situation was a bit tricky because of their general sympathy for the line of United Front which did not allow them to take a reactionary stand against 256 the rightists under Gandhi ^. -
Identity and Violence in India's North East: Towards a New Paradigm
Identity and Violence In India’s North East Towards a New Paradigm Sanjib Goswami Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology Australia Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Ethics Clearance for this SUHREC Project 2013/111 is enclosed Abstract This thesis focuses on contemporary ethnic and social conflict in India’s North East. It concentrates on the consequences of indirect rule colonialism and emphasises the ways in which colonial constructions of ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ identity still inform social and ethnic strife. This thesis’ first part focuses on history and historiography and outlines the ways in which indirect rule colonialism was implemented in colonial Assam after a shift away from an emphasis on Britain’s ‘civilizing mission’ targeting indigenous elites. A homogenising project was then replaced by one focusing on the management of colonial populations that were perceived as inherently distinct from each other. Indirect rule drew the boundaries separating different colonised constituencies. These boundaries proved resilient and this thesis outlines the ways in which indirect rule was later incorporated into the constitution and political practice of postcolonial India. Eventually, the governmental paradigm associated with indirect rule gave rise to a differentiated citizenship, a dual administration, and a triangular system of social relations comprising ‘indigenous’ groups, non-indigenous Assamese, and ‘migrants’. Using settler colonial studies as an interpretative paradigm, and a number of semi-structured interviews with community spokespersons, this thesis’ second part focuses on the ways in which different constituencies in India’s North East perceive ethnic identity, ongoing violence, ‘homeland’, and construct different narratives pertaining to social and ethnic conflict. -

No.: Abstract: 20020565N1MLSE The development of Muslim politics in Bengal was somewhat different from the upper Indian Muslim politics because of the strongly agrarian connection of the Bengali Muslim masses. The zamindars and moneylenders happened to be Hindu. As a result Article History: of the first half of the twentieth century, the peasant revolt Submitted on 05 Feb 2020 against the zamindars for the protection of their tenurial rights Accepted on 06 May 2020 took somewhat communal character. In the urban area, the Published online on 08 May 2020 Muslim educated middle classes were latecomers in the job sectors, and naturally, they have to face stiff competition to find their foothold. In this situation, by the 1930s it became open for any Muslim party to mobilize the Muslim masses in their favour providing that it would safeguard their interests. In light of this Keywords: changes, this present study will try to find out what were the Divide and Rule Policy, Simla Deputation, Morley Minto Reform ideology and programmes of the Khaksar movement and why Act, Bengal Pact, Pakistan did it fail to capitulate the existing situation in Bengal and make Movement a stronghold in Bengal. I Introduction In pre-independent Bengal, Muslims were the majority community. But economically, they were backward. Even before the 1920s, they were politically backward, too, in comparison with the Hindus. The non-cooperation-Khilafat movement of 1920 brought the Muslim masses into organized politics. -
