Thanks Halder for throwing light on a pogrom shamefully covered up by leftist media and academics. The debate about caste etc is misguided here as tragedy was inhuman. Wish some of the perpetrators including left bosses and intellectual ensconced in kolkata etc could be interviewed about their record in the cover up and the brutality
How idiotic is d headline itself which is trying to compare an oppression to the other. How fake n lame is the title that says bigger than 2002 Muslim massacre in Gujrat which butchered 3000 muslim men women and children with the most gruesome sexual assault on Muslim women whose wombs were slit open n the fetus was tossed in air on a Spade. The breast of muslim women cut off nd baby girls were gang raped and hindu men tore their limbs apart. What an Ass0 is the writer who even dared to lie in front of whole word and spoil the credibility of the article in first place. You moron have audacity to compare gujrat genocide to this Marchjhapi misshap? Check how they tried to kill attack police and tell me if ever a muslim of india even being a citizen tried to kill the police even in self defense? Here the refugees attacked openly on armed forces. What a pathetic false equivalence. Indeed it was crime against humanity what happened in that island but then hindus do want to kill every refugees in india so now they have a taste of how it feels like to be on the receiving end of the bullet.
Each and every leftist will continue to deny shamelessly that such a thing did happen, there are many more tales of severe brutalization and massacres, tactically kept hidden, never discussed and nearly washed away from the public memory, in connivance with pliable media, teeming with leftists and their sympathisers. It’s common knowledge that over 55000 mostly political opponents of Marxists been missing for decades all together, were clubbed to death, pushed in a shallow grave, covered by a sack of salt and covered.
Those salt graves are crying for their stories be told.
Typical rice bag convert mentality into an invader religion
The problem with this article is that it fails to mention the fact that the “Hindu” refugees were primarily Dalit, anywhere at all. This is given in the book from which this is an excerpt. And that is a huge problem. Anybody who talks about Hindu genocide here is basically a fraud, because this isn’t about Hindu genocide, this is about Dalit genocide. And Brahmanical Hinduism has never cared about Dalits. The reason the Left government in Bengal did this and got away with it, without it receiving coverage was because these were poor Dalit people. This very important fact could have ben added in the heading or subheading. But the article fails to do that.
So, no, this story is not false. No this story is not BJP propaganda. But this is a website erasing state violence against Dalits in the worst way possible. At best, this is foolish and casually casteist behaviour that allows people to spread lies about this being a Hindu genocide. At worst, this is deliberate mischief that contributes to an already troubled communal context. Shame on you, The Print
The problem I see with your mentality is that a genocide is a genocide. Since you are labelling it as a Dalit genocide does it make it any less? You are no less than the people you are questioning here.
That’s not it. You missed the point Talapatra was getting at.
Whether they were being killed for being Dalit or for being Hindu, it’s equally horrific. But it matters as such slaughter cannot be stopped without understanding what caused it. And if the cause is misidentified, that can actually cause more harm. Non-Dalit Hindus are taking it as evidence supporting their belief that THEIR lives are under threat because of their religion; people who believe that their lives are in danger, that the powers that be want them dead, are likely to act desperately and view anyone who disagrees with them as a threat. You can even see this in some of the comments: “Secularism in India is a Hindu Holocaust,” for example. It’s easy to justify rights violations and even violence against non-Hindus if you have this mentality.
Do the dalits don’t belong to the hindu community…?are they not our own brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers…? they did Saraswati puja , performed all our dharmik activites , and yet you are foolishly saying that they were not HINDUS..? ARE YOU BLIND…? what rubbish ARE YOU SAYING…? THEY ALL WERE OUR BLOOD TIES….!!
Thanks Deep Halder… Someone spoke of Marichjhapi… The leftists of today have erased all memories of countless atrocities on Hindus in Bengal from the minds of people. They blatantly deny everything as propaganda.
Please let sumit sinha be. It is a bengali antel. For a bengali antel, whether its dressed in panjabi and jeans, with a jhola on its shoulder, or it brushes its teeth everyday, there has never been any other genocide in india except in gujarat. It(news about Gujarat killings) help
s the bangali antel ejaculate better
Such a BJP article. If this is how it happened why did the government take such a step. What was the propaganda? Bengal had seen more refugees coming than any other state and had accommodated. At the brink of an election this is so appt to justify the communal mentality of those in Saffron.
Have some integrity if you call yourself a journalist. But anyways this is the problem these days, keep being a leech to the ones in power.
So u mean to say that being a hindu a person can not claim that he can also a victim in this country. How shameful ur thoughts r..how it is a bjp agenda if sumone talks about crimes done to hindus

And yet that bastard Jyoti Basu is revered in Indian politics and media. Why shouldn’t the culprits of that massacre be punished?

Which party are those leftists supporting now. The CPM has diminished and all the cadres who had joined the TMC are shifting to the upcoming party.
False story I was a refugee. The refugee s got honour NB only for the left.
Secularism in India is a Hindu Holocaust program.

This article is atleast written because he wants to stir upon a controversy for the sake of selling more books..
Did they try to remove them because the migrants were Hindus? No they didn’t.
So please stop bullshiting to ruin my country
