Dear Brother, Narnaskar Since the last global circular to all Sectorial Secretaries, there has been a great change in the situation, as you will be aware that Patna High Court has honourably acquitted Baba and the four others. Baba is still in jail because He has a pending case at Ranchi. However, we are moving bail ,in Ranchi Court on July 12th and we are expecting Baba' s release by the end of this week. Sarveshvaranandaji is also still detained but Barun Kumar , Pavitra Kumar and Satyanandaji have already been released. As you can well imagi_ue , the celebrations here have been tremendous and inspiration has been very high. Now we are preparing for a big reception for Baba in Patna, when lie comes out of jail. Hith regard to the judgement, Baba's only comment was:"I am not a politi­ cal man. I have my heart7} goodwill for the entire human society." �Vith Baba' s release, surely the whole face of the organization will change, as it will move with greatly accelerated speed and power, inspired by His physical presence, to establish His great mission. I wish you great success for all your future efforts in you sector. Brotherly Yours , Ac. Keshavananda Avt. Acting General Secretary. l \ .J.. AM procession to celebrate Baba's acquit­ tal, Calcutta, J_u17J 6,1978 Mf, DFTS-04095 A Brief History of the persecution of Ananda Marga & Shrii Shrii AnandalUurti {Wba1 A'nanda Ma'rga was founded as an organization in India in 1955. In the early and middle 1960's, A'nanda Ma'rga grew rapidly throughout India. By 1967 a government report esti­ mated A'nanda Ma'rga membership to be roughly two and a half million people. Many of its members were highly educated professionals, a number of whom worked for the government. As a result of this success A'nanda Ma'rga made some enemies. At first it "as the Communists in Northeast India who opposed A'nanda Ma'rga. The Communists had seen A'nanda Ma'rga spread rapidly and win the allegiance of many people who would have otherwise probably supported the Communists. Since A'nanda Ma'rga's ideology precluded the possibility of collaboration with them, the Communists could only have seen �'nanda Ma'rga as a threat. 5 MARGIIS Kl LLED IN ATTACK ON ANANADA NAGAR. In 1967 the first major incident occurred at A'nanda Nagar. A local official for personal reasons (he had not been accepted on the board of the A'nanda Ma'rga College) incited tribal people to attack the headquarters at A'nanda Nagar. Five Ma'rgiis were killed. The local police refused to protect the Ma'rgiis and later acted to cover up the incident. It took four years for the culprits to finall" be brought to justice. A West Bengal court issued a scathing denunciation of the Communist dominated govern­ ment for its efforts in trying to cover up the entire episode. 2 In 1967 Mrs. Gandhi won the post of Prime Minister. But she had to take the assistance of the Communist Party of India (the pro-MoscOw faction of India's communists) in order to maintain a majority in the Parliament. Hence the Communists, who were already strongly opposed to A'nanda Ma'rga, gained considerable influence in the Central Govern­ ment. Soon after this the Central Government, led by Mrs. Gandhi's Congre ss Party, turned against A ' nanda Ma'rga. In May of 1968 the Home Ministry (a department of the Central Government concerned w tth domestic affairs) p o mulgated ' r a ban on go vernment s ervant ' 5 participation in A' nanda Ma' rga. It was alleged that A'nanda Ma'rga was a political organiza­ tion; and it is the law in India, as well as the United States, that civil servants cannot work for political parties. A'nanda Ma'rgiis who worked for the government immediately challenged the ban, which was stayen (postponed) by the Supreme Court until a final decision could be made as to the 1. n�ture of A'nanda Ma'rga. The case lS still pending befcre the court 'i\VU:\I/AiJAlJ[)A r:UNS FTWH CmU1WnST ATTACK em D.i'LC. In 1969 a second attack on A'nanda Ma'rga occurred in the West Bengal town of C00ch Bihar. This time a large group of communists attacked a Dharma Maha Cakra. A bomb was thrown; one Ma'rgii was killed and many others injured. The local police arrested the Ma'rgiis instead of the Communists. Ba'ba' was also arrested and roughed up'in the process. Ba'ba's two security guards for the seminar, A'ca' rya,s Krishna' nanda ,and Madhava'nanda, fled in Ba'ba's car when the trouble began. Later many of the younger A'nanda Ma'rga workers bitterly de­ nounced these two and demanded that they be severely punished. Ba'ba' chose not to see or speak to the two again. The de­ nunciations of the younger workers caused great resentment in Krishna'nanda and Madhava'nanda's minds. In 1970 Mrs. Gandhi and her party began speaking out strongly against so-called "extremist" groups. This was a tactic to undermine potential rivals. Mrs. Gandhi is said to be a nice person in private life, but when it comes to politics she is known to be ruthless. She will go to any lengths to retain or increase her personal power. So it is no surprise that as A'nanda Ma'rga became popular, Mrs. Gandhi took steps to prevent its growth.* It is even more understandable when we know that she was taking advice and support from the Communist Party of India, who detested A'nanda Ma'rga.

  • Partition Or Its Phantasm?: Sixty-Five Years After the Cracking of Bengal
    NEW LITERARIA- An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities Volume 2, No. 1, January-February, 2021, PP. 11-20 ISSN: 2582-7375 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.48189/nl.2021.v02i1.002 www.newliteraria.com Partition or its Phantasm?: Sixty-five Years after the Cracking of Bengal Sarbani Banerjee Abstract The article studies two films, Lizard (Tiktiki in Bengali, 2012) directed by Raja Dasgupta, which is a small-screen drama aired as a telefilm in Tara TV Bangla, and Anik Dutta-directed The Ghost’s Future (Bhooter Bhabishyat in Bengali, 2012), which became a big hit on the silver screen. Analyses of these two artworks reveal how and why the phantasm of partition, even more than partition itself, remains a key point of reference in defining the everyday spirit of post-Partition West Bengal. In both these films made sixty-five years after the Bengal Partition, fiction picks on history by means of over-used notions. The article examines why, after several decades of Partition, art is exploited to appeal to the sentimentalist standpoint of ‘The Refugee Experience,’ even as so much scholarship is emerging that examines Partition in all its complexity. Who and what does ‘The Refugee Experience’ represent today? Who is the spokesperson for ‘authentic Bengali-ness’ in the recent socio-cultural context of Kolkata? The article addresses these questions. Keywords: Bhadralok, Bhooter Bhabishyat, Calcutta, Partition of Bengal, Film, Refugee, Tiktiki. Introduction: The Paradoxical Bhadralok1 Immigrant Subject The Bengali Hindus had been culturally and politically dominating India since the colonial period. Following a difference in opinion regarding the formation of the Bengal Union2, it was not unlikely for many East Bengali bhadralok, who worked in Calcutta and simultaneously enjoyed the harvests of East Bengal parish lands, to support the Partition of Bengal.
