THE DASTARDLY DESIGNERS OF THE DISMEMBERMENT OF THE MOTHERLAND
Pakistan's Quaid-i-Azam (Great Leader) and Baba-i-Qaum (Father of the Nation) was a mass murderer. On 16 August, 1946 he ordered the assassination of Hindus en masse on the streets of Kolkata. It was called the 'Direct Action Day' and it was declared to be so well in advance, although its intentions were kept concealed. 5,000 Hindus were butchered literally and 20,000 more injured in the worst genocide Kolkata had seen. The Congress, instead of breaking all bonds with the All India Muslim League, capitulated under such murderous pressure as the killings of Hindus continued in Noakhali in erstwhile erstwhile East Bengal (today's Bangladesh) for two more months with women molested and Hindus force-converted to Islam if they wished their lives to be spared. Today's Bangladesh's founder, Bangabadhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was an active participant in the Partition of India that followed and an associate and close confidante of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the Prime Minister of Bengal who had ordered the genocide of the Hindus at the behest of Jinnah.
The killings of Hindus en masse worked to plan as Jinnah and Suhrawardy had envisaged. The Congress, devoid of some sort of a paramilitary machinery, as Subhas Chandra Bose had suggested at the 1938 Haripura Congress Session that it should be having, capitulated under such sustained violent action by the League and its Muslim followers, and the country was partitioned by the British.
On 27 April, 1947, Suhrawardy, the mastermind and guiding hand of the Great Calcutta Killing of 16 August, 1946, demanded for an undivided, independent Bengal which meant that in the ensuing Partition scenario India would be carved up into three independent countries, India, Pakistan and Bengal. Suhrawardy was supported in this move by Sarat Chandra Bose among others but opposed by Syama Prasad Mookerjee (Hindu Mahasabha) who demanded instead the partition of Bengal along the subsequent East-West line that followed which would safeguard Bengal's Hindus. Had Suhrawardy succeeded in the bid to separate the whole of Bengal and parts of the North-east with a heavy Muslim majority population, the ensuing independent Bengal would have promptly joined Pakistan post the Partition of India. Thus, a calamity was averted by Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Jawaharlal Nehru, Acharya Kripalani and others who opposed the move.
Anyhow, returning to the original theme. Those who are today being eulogised in Pakistan and Bangladesh were dastardly designers of the dismemberment of the motherland.
