In Noakhali, the hereditary pir of Daira Sharif, Gholam Sarwar, turned his militia, Miyar Fauj, on Hindu Bengalis gathered for Lakshmi Puja. The killing opened with the beheading of Rajendra Lal Roy Chowdhury, the local Hindu zamindar; his severed head was carried to Gholam Sarwar on a platter. Roy Chowdhury’s daughters, and scores of other Hindu women and girls, were seized by the militia and never returned.
That full-moon night nearly four hundred Hindus were cut down. In the days that followed, the Noakhali violence took at least five thousand Hindu men, women, and children. Thousands of women were raped, mutilated, or abducted while the administration stayed silent.
The slaughter came weeks after the Direct Action Day killings in Calcutta, called by Mohammed Ali Jinnah and carried out under Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, head of the Bengal Muslim League ministry. As Noakhali burned, Suhrawardy did not intervene. The British looked past it, already fixed on the path to Pakistan. Nehru and the Congress leadership, intent on the transfer of power, offered no real response; Nehru’s later handling of Hindu refugees from East Bengal only confirmed the indifference.
Noakhali remains the record of what was done to feed the ambitions of Jinnah, Suhrawardy, Gholam Sarwar, and Miyar Fauj. Hindu Bengalis—above all the descendants of those driven from East Bengal—owe that history a clear memory: the dead, the violated, and the displaced who were not broken. Remembrance is the only tribute that still reaches them.
And what was our dearest Father of the Nation doing?
O my Hindus of Bharat - wake up - aankhe phar phar ke dekho - and if your blood does not boil in anger - you better live your lives as wage slaves.
Remember, O my Hindus, that if you don't come out of your brainwashed state, everywhere you will be treated as slaves - just like the indentured laborers of the British Empire.
Come ON... guys.
You are the progeny of great people - Ram, Krishna, Arjun, Netaji, Swami Vivekananda, and many more. All of them fought to protect TRUTH and DHARMA...
If you are still sleeping, remember: your only country, Bharat, is undergoing Gazwa-e-Hind.
Wake up...
Don't remain blind sheep...
Protect your Bharat Mata...
My current state of mind?
This...
And here's my wife Reema reciting her own poem...
