Direct Action Day - The Bengal Files: Part 1
Direct Action Day is a chapter from history that was purposefully deleted so that Indians can never know what atrocities Hindus faced due to the secularism and non violence of Gandhi.Gandhi was not if favor of partition of India. Jinnah said if they don’t get Pakistan then they will destroy India. Gandhi said Hindu Muslim are bhai bhai and a Muslim will never kill his bhai.
Jinnah smiled and said : Lets see, We will start direct action on 16th August 1946 for separate country.
Direct action started from Kolkata on 16th August 1946
By Oct 1946, Jinnah brought Gandhi on knees and Gandhi started to think about partition. What happened in these 3 months? Muslim League and Congress were two main political parties in Constituent Assembly of India in 1940s. Muslim League had demanded, since its 1940 Lahore Resolution, that the Muslim-majority areas of India in the northwest and the east, should be constituted as 'independent states'.
The 1946 Cabinet Mission to India for planning of the transfer of power from the British Raj to the Indian leadership proposed a three-tier structure: -Centre -Groups of provinces -Provinces. The "groups of provinces" were meant to accommodate the Muslim League demand.
Both the Muslim League and Congress in principle accepted the Cabinet Mission's plan. That means there will be special states that will be handled by Muslims only and Central govt will take care external functions of country.
On 10 July 1946, Nehru held a press conference in Bombay and declared that although the Congress had agreed to participate in the Constituent Assembly, it reserved the right to modify the Cabinet Mission Plan.
It made Jinnah furious and he started to demand partition of India and separate country for Muslims. Gandhi rejected the proposal of Partition. The next day, Jinnah announced 16 August 1946 would be "Direct Action Day" and warned Congress, "We do not want war. If you want war we accept your offer unhesitatingly. We will either have a divided India or a destroyed India."
And here Gandhi under estimated Jinnah and overestimated his secularism and Hindu Muslim Unity.
He was in misunderstanding that Muslims will never kill Hindus for separate country. In that time there was united Bengal that consist of current west Bengal n current Bangladesh. Kolkata was capital and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy was the CM of Bengal and loyal of Jinnah.
Bengal was then a Muslim-majority province with only 42 per cent Hindus, but Calcutta had 64 per cent Hindus and 33 per cent Muslims. Bengal was the only province in British India where a Muslim League government was in power.
Ramzan month was going on that time. Huseyn declared strike on that day. All Muslims closed their shop. The meeting began around 2 pm though processions of Muslims from all parts of Calcutta had started assembling since the midday prayers.
A large number of the participants were reported to have been armed with iron bars and lathis After the afternoon namaj. Mob of around one lakh Muslims attacked Hindus and started to butcher them. Mob were shouting “le kar rahenge Pakistan” “nara a taqrir allah hu akbar”
Though Kolkata was Hindu majority but most of Hindus were educated and were not ready for this attack. Till 20th August they kept killing. How many Hindus were killed, how many women were raped no one knows but there were streets full of dead bodies.
Though later Hindu mahasabha mobilized Hindu and gave them resistance. But the worst massacre of Hindus happened in Noakhali city that is currently at Bangladesh. Noakhali was second round of direct action day. Riots started in Noakhali from 10th Oct 1946.
30000 Muslims attacked on Hindu area and whoever they saw chopped their head. They snatched babies from mothers and chopped them in front of them. In Kolkata they raped woman but in Noakhali they raped in front of their family.
Total number no one knows but people say first day 15000 Hindus were killed and thousand of women were raped. The attack on Noakhali was led by Muslim league leader Ghulam Sarwar. Rajendralal Roychowdhury, who was the president of Hindu Mahasabha, His head was chopped and presented to Ghulam in a plate while his daughters were handed over to guards. In next 1 week, Raipur, Ramganj, Begampur, Lakshmipur, around 1 lac Hindu were killed and 1000s of women were raped and captured as sex slave, More than obe lakh people left their home.
Thousands of Hindus were forcefully fed cow meat n converted to Islam. Their plan was to Kill all Hindus of Bengal so that they can take entire Bengal n Assam in Pakistan. How many Hindu women were raped and made sex slave no one knows.
After the incident a social worker Leela Roy rescued alone 1307 hind girls from Muslims. August to October, the soil of Bengal became red by blood of Hindus.
Gandhi’s ego of false secularism and Hindu Muslim unity had broken and he was ready for partition.
Jinnah brought him down. Jinnah’s direct action day was successful, after killing lakhs of Hindus and raping unlimited Hindu women finally Pakistan was going to be formed. And today lot of Indian leader calls Jinnah secular. His photo is in AMU.
Why Jinnah chose 16th August. Because it was 18th day of Ramzan. It was on that day that Prophet Muhammad waged the bloody Battle of Badr which resulted in his first decisive victory over the heathens and the subsequent conquest of Mecca.
Islamists celebrate the victory in this battle as a decisive one for Islam and its considered pious to start Jehad in this month. Muslim League said that They were provoked by Hindu Mahasabha and due to that provocation they attacked. Nothing changed in 76 years.
