Jogendra Nath Mandal wrote this resignation letter to
the Prime Pinister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaquat_Ali_Khan>

My dear Prime Minister It is with a heavy heart and a sense of utter frustration at the failure of my lifelong mission to uplift the backward Hindu masses of East Bengal that I feel compelled to tender resignation of my membership of your cabinet. It is proper that I should set forth in detail the reasons which have prompted me to take this decision at this important juncture of the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent.

1. Before I narrate the remote and immediate causes of my resignation, it may be useful to give a short background of the important events that have taken place during the period of my co-operation with the League. Having been approached by a few prominent League leaders of Bengal in February1943, I agreed to work with them in the Bengal Legislative Assembly. After the fall of the Fazlul Haq ministry in March 1943, with a party of 21 Scheduled Caste M.L.A.s, I agreed to cooperate with Khwaja Nazimuddin, the then leader of the Muslim League Parliamentary Party who formed the Cabinetin April 1943. Our co-operation was conditional on certain specific terms,such as the inclusion of three Scheduled Caste Ministers in the Cabinet,sanctioning of a sum of Rupees Five Lakhs as annual recurring grant for the education of the Scheduled Castes, and the unqualified application of the communal ratio rules in the matter of appointment to Government services.


2. Apart from these terms, the principal objectives that prompted me to work in co-operation with the Muslim League was, first that the economic interests of the Muslims in Bengal were generally identical with those of the Scheduled Castes. Muslims were mostly cultivators and labourers, and so were members of the Scheduled Castes. One section of Muslims were fishermen, so was a section of the Scheduled Castes as well, and secondly that the Scheduled Castes and the Muslims were both educationally backward. I was persuaded that my co-operation with the League and its Ministry would lead to the undertaking on a wide scale of legislative and administrative measures which, while promoting the mutual welfare of the vas bulk of Bengal's population, and undermining the foundations of vested interest and privilege, would further the cause of communal peace and harmony. It may be mentioned here that Khwaja Nazimuddin took three Scheduled Caste Ministers in his cabinet and appointed three Parliamentary Secretaries from amongstthe members of my community.


*SUHRAWARDY MINISTRY*

3. After the general elections held in March 1946 Mr. H.S.Suhrawardy became the leader of the League Parliamentary Party in March 1946 and formed the League Ministry in April 1946. I was the only Scheduled Caste member returned on the federation ticket. I was included in Mr. Suhrawardy's Cabinet. The 16th day of August of that year was observed in Calcutta as 'The Direct Action Day' by the Muslim League. It resulted, as you know, in a holocaust. Hindus demanded my resignation from the League Ministry. My life was in peril. I began to receive threatening letters almost every day. But I remained steadfast to my policy. Moreover, I issued an appeal through our journal 'Jagaran' to the Scheduled Caste people to keep themselves aloof from the bloody feud between the Congress and the Muslim League even at the risk of my life. I cannot but gratefully acknowledge the fact that I was saved from the wrath of infuriated Hindu mobs by my Caste Hindu neighbours.The Calcutta carnage was followed by the 'Noakhali Riot' in October 1946. There, Hindus including Scheduled Castes were killed and hundreds were converted to Islam. Hindu women were raped and abducted. Members of my community also suffered loss of life and property. Immediately after these happenings, I visited Tipperah and Feni and saw some riot-affected areas. The terrible sufferings of Hindus overwhelmed me with grief, but still I continued the policy of co-operation with the Muslim League. Immediately after the massive Calcutta Killing, a no-confidence motion was moved againstthe Suhrawardy Ministry. It was only due to my efforts that the support of four Anglo-Indian Members and of four Scheduled Caste members of the Assembly who had hitherto been with the Congress could be secured, but forwhich the Ministry would have been defeated.


4. In October 1946, most unexpectedly came to me through Mr. Suhrawardy the offer of a seat in the Interim Government of India. After a good deal of hesitation and being given only one hour's time to take my final decision, I consented to accept the offer subject to the condition only that I should be permitted to resign if my leader Dr. B.R. Ambedkar disapproved of my action. Fortunately, however, I received his approval in a telegram sent from London. Before I left for Delhi to take over as Law Member, I persuaded Mr.Suhrawardy, the then Chief Minister of Bengal, to agree to take two Ministers in his Cabinet in my place and to appoint two Parliamentary Secretaries from the Scheduled Case Federation Group
.

5. I joined the Interim Government on November 1, 1946. After about a month when I paid a visit to Calcutta, Mr.Suhrawardy apprised me of the communal tension in some parts of East Bengal, especially in Gopalganj Sub-division, where the Namahsudras were in majority, being very high. He requested me to visit those areas and address meetings of Muslims and Namahsudras. The fact was that Namahsudras in those areas had made preparations for retaliation. I addressed about a dozen of largely attended meetings. The result was that Namahsudrasave up the idea of retaliation. Thus an inevitable dangerous communal disturbance was averted.

6. After a few months, the British Government made their June 3 Statement (1947) embodying certain proposals for the partition of India. The whole country, especially the entire non-Muslim India, was startled. For the sake of truth I must admit that I had always considered the demand of Pakistan by the Muslim League as a bargaining counter. Although I honestly felt that in the context of India as a whole Muslims had legitimate cause for grievance against upper class Hindu chauvinism, I held the view very strongly indeed that the creation of Pakistan would never solve the communal problem. On the contrary, it would aggravate communal hatred and bitterness. Besides, Imaintained that it would not ameliorate the condition of Muslims inPakistan. The inevitable result of the partition of the country would be toprolong, if not perpetuate, the poverty, illiteracy and miserable conditionof the toiling masses of both the States. I further apprehended thatPakistan might turn to be one of the most backward and undeveloped
countriesof the South East Asia.

*LAHORE RESOLUTION*

7. I must make it clear that I have thought that an attempt would be made, as is being done at present, to develop Pakistan as a purely 'Islamic' State based on the Shariat and the injunctions and formulae of Islam. I presumed that it would be set up in all essentials after the pattern contemplated in the Muslim League resolution adopted at Lahore on March 23, 1940. That resolution stated inter alia that (I) "geographically contiguous areas are demarcated into regions which should be constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary, that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority as in the north-western and eastern zones of India, should be grouped to constitute independent States in which the Constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign" and (II) "adequate, effective andmandatory safeguards should be specifically provided in the Constitution forminorities in these units and in these regions for the protection of theirreligious, cultural, political, administrative and other rights andinterests in consultation with them." Implicitly in this formula were (a) that North western and eastern Muslim zones should be constituted into two independent States, (b) that the constituent units of these States should beautonomous and sovereign, (c) that minorities' guarantee should be inrespect of rights as well as of interest and extend to every sphere oftheir lives, and (d) that Constitutional provisions should be made in these regards in consultation with the minorities themselves. I was fortified in my faith in this resolution and the professions of the League Leadership by the statement Qaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah was pleased to make on the 11th August 1947 as the President of the Constituent Assembly giving solemn assurance of equal treatment for Hindus & Muslims alike and calling upon them to remember that they were all Pakistanis. There was then no question of dividing he people on the basis of religion into full-fledged Muslim citizens and zimmies [i][1] being under the perpetual custody of theIslamic State and its Muslims citizens. Every one of these pledges is beingflagrantly violated apparently to your knowledge and with your approval incomplete disregard of the Qaid-e-Azam's wishes and sentiments and to thedetriment and humiliation of the minorities.

*PARTITION OF BENGAL*
8. It may also be mentioned in this connection that I was opposed to the partition of Bengal. In launching a campaign in this regard I had to face not only tremendous resistance from all quarters but also unspeakable abuse,insult and dishonour. With great regret, I recollect those days when 32 crores of Hindus of this Indo-Pakistan Sub-continent turned their back against me and dubbed me as the enemy of Hindus and Hinduism, but I remained undaunted and unmoved in my loyalty to Pakistan. It is a matter of gratitude that my appeal to 7 million Scheduled Caste people of Pakistan evoked a ready and enthusiastic response from them. They lent me their unstinted support sympathy and encouragement.


9. After the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947 you formed the Pakistan Cabinet, in which I was included and Khwaja Nazimuddin formed a provisional Cabinet for East Bengal. On August 10, I had spoken to Khwaja Nazimuddin at Karachi and requested him to take 2 Scheduled Caste Ministers in the East Bengal Cabinet. He promised to do the same sometime later. Whathappened subsequently in this regard was a record of unpleasant and disappointing negotiation with you, Khwaja Nazimuddin and Mr. Nurul Amin, the present Chief Minister of East Bengal. When I realised that Khwaja Nazimuddin was avoiding the issue on this or that excuse, I became almost impatient and exasperated. I further discussed the matter with the Presidents of the Pakistan Muslim League and its East Bengal Branch. Ultimately, I brought the matter to your notice. You were pleased todiscussthe subject with Khwaja Nazimuddin in my presence at your residence. Khwaja Nazimuddin agreed to take one Scheduled Caste Minister on his return toDacca. As I had already became sceptic about the assurance of Khwaja Nazimuddin, I wanted to be definite about the time-frame. I insisted that he must act in this regard with a month, failing which I should be at liberty to resign. Both you and Khwaja Nazimuddin agreed to the condition. But alas! you did not perhaps mean what you said. Khwaja Nazimuddin did not keep his promise. After Mr. Nurul Amin had became the Chief Minister of East Bengal, I again took up the matter with him. He also followed the same old familiar tactics of evasion. When I again called your attention to this matter priorto your visit to Dacca in 1949, you were pleased to assure me that MinorityMinisters would be appointed in East Bengal, and you asked 2/3 names from me for consideration. In stat deference to your wish, I sent you a notestatingthe Federation Group in the East Bengal Assembly and suggesting threenames. When I made enquiries as to what had happened on your return from Dacca, you appeared to be very cold and only remarked : "Let Nurul Amin return from Delhi". After a few days I again pressed the matter. But you avoided the issue. I was then forced to come to the conclusion that neither you not Mr. Nurul Amin had any intention to take any Scheduled Caste Minister in the East Bengal Cabinet. Apart from this, I was noticing that Mr. Nurul Amin and some League leaders of East Bengal were trying to create disruption among the Members of the Scheduled Caste Federation. It appeared to me that my leadership and wide-spread popularity were considered ominous. My outspokenness, vigilance and sincere efforts to safeguard the interests of the minorities of Pakistan, in general, and of the Scheduled Caste, in particular, were considered a matter on annoyance to the East Bengal Govt. and few League leaders. Undaunted, I took my firm stand to safeguard the interests of the minorities of Pakistan.


*ANTI-HINDU POLICY*

10. When the question of partition of Bengal arose, the Scheduled Caste people were alarmed at the anticipated dangerous result of partition. Representation on their behalf were made to Mr. Suhrawardy, the then Chief Minister of Bengal who was pleased to issue a statement to the press declaring that none of the rights and privileges hitherto enjoyed by the Scheduled Caste People would be curtailed after partition and that they would not only continue to enjoy the existing rights and privileges but also receive additional advantages. This assurance was given by Mr. Suhrawardy not only in his personal capacity but also in his capacity as the Chief Minister of the League Ministry. To my utter regret it is to be stated that after partition, particularly after the death of Qaid-e-Azam, the Scheduled Castes have not received a fair deal in any matter. You will recollect that from time to time I brought the grievances of the Scheduled Castes to your notice. I explained to you on several occasions the nature of inefficient administration in East Bengal. I made serious charges against the police administration. I brought to your notice incidents of barbarous atrocities perpetrated by the police on frivolous grounds. I did not hesitate to bring to your notice the anti-Hindu policy pursued by the East Bengal Government especially the police administration and a section of Muslim League leaders.

*SOME INCIDENTS*
11. The first incident that shocked me took place at a village called Digharkul near Gopalganj where on the false complaint of a Muslim brutal atrocities were committed on the local Namahsudras. The fact was that a Muslim who was going in a boat attempted to throw his net to catch fish. A Namahsudra who was already there for the same purpose opposed the throwing of the net in his front. This was followed by some altercation and the Muslim got annoyed and went to the nearby Muslim village and made a false complaint that he and a woman in his boat had been assaulted by the Namahsudras. At that time, the S.D.O. of Gopalganj was passing in a boat through the canal, who without making any enquiry accepted the complaint as true and sent armed police to the spot to punish the Namahsudras. The armed police came and the local Muslims also joined them. They not only raidedsome houses of the Namahsudras but mercilessly beat both men and women, destroyed their properties and took away valuables. The merciless beating of a pregnant women resulted in abortion on the spot. This brutal action onthe part of the local authority created panic over a large area.

12. The second incidence of police oppression took place in early part of 1949 under P.S. Gournadi in the district of Barisal. Here a quarrel took place between two groups of members of a Union Board. One group which was in the good books of the police conspired against the opponents on the plea o their being Communists. On the information of a threat of attack on the Police Station, the O.C., Gournadi requisitioned armed forces from the headquarters. The Police, helped by the armed forces, then raided a large number of houses in the area, took away valuable properties, even from the house of absentee-owners who were never in politics, far less in the Communist Party. A large number of persons over a wide area were arrested. Teachers and students of many High English Schools were Communist suspects and unnecessarily harassed. This area being very near to my native village, I was informed of the incident. I wrote to the District Magistrate and the S.P. for an enquiry. A section of the local people also prayed for an enquiry by the S.D.O. But no enquiry was held. Even my letters to the District authorities were not acknowledged. I then brought this matter tothe notice of the highest Authority in Pakistan, including yourself but tono avail.


*WOMEN FOR MILITARY*


13. The atrocities perpetrated by the police and the military on theinnocent Hindus, especially the Scheduled Castes of Habibgarh in the District of Sylhet deserve description. Innocent men and women were brutally tortured, some women ravished, their houses raided and properties looted by the police and the local Muslims. Military pickets were posted in the area. The military not only oppressed these people and took away stuff forcibly from Hindu houses, but also forced Hindus to send their women-folk at night to the camp to satisfy the carnal desires of the military. This fact also I brought to your notice. You assured me of a report on the matter, but unfortunately no report was forthcoming.

14. Then occurred the incident at the Nachole in the District of Rajshahi where in the name of suppression of Communists not only the police but also the local Muslims in collaboration with the police oppressed the Hindus and looted their properties. The Santhals then crossed the border and came over to West Bengal. They narrated the stories of atrocities wantonly committedby the Muslims and the police.


15. An instance of callous and cold-blooded brutality is furnished by the incident that took place on December 20, 1949 in Kalshira under P.S. Mollarhat in the District of Khulna. What happened was that late at night four constables raided the house of one Joydev Brahma in village Kalshira in search of some alleged Communists. At the scent of the police, half a dozen of young men, some of whom might have been Communists, escaped from the house. The police constable entered into the house and assaulted the wife of Joydev Brahma whose cry attracted her husband and a few companions who escaped from the house. They became desperate, re-entered the house, found


4 constables with one gun only. That perhaps might have encouraged the youngmen who struck a blow on an armed constable who died on the spot. The young men then attacked another constable when the other two ran away and raised alarm which attracted some neighbouring people who came to their rescue. As the incident took place before sunrise when it was dark, the assailants fled with the dead body before the villagers could come. The S.P. of Khulna with a contingent of military and armed police appeared on the scene in the afternoon of the following day. In the meantime, the assailants fled and the intelligent neighbours also fled away. But the bulk of the villagers remained in their houses as they were absolutely innocent and failed to realise the consequence of the happening. Subsequently, the S.P., the military and armed police began to beat mercilessly the innocents of the entire village, encouraged the neighbouring Muslims to take away their properties. A number of persons were killed and men and women were forcibly converted. House-hold deities were broken and places of worship desecrated and destroyed. Several women were raped by the police, military and local Muslims. Thus a veritable hell was let loose not only in the village of Kalshira which is 1-1/2 miles in length with a large population, but also in a number of neighbouring Namahsudra villages. The village Kalshira was never suspected by the authority to be a place of Communist activities. Another village called Jhalardanga, which was at a distance of 3 miles from Kalshira, was known to be a centre of Communist activities. This village was raided by a large contingent of police on that day for hunt of the alleged Communists, a number of whom fled away and took shelter in the aforesaidhouse of village Kalshira which was considered to be a safe place for them.


16. I visited Kalshira and one or two neighbouring villages on the 28th February 1950.
The S.P., Khulna and some of the prominent League leaders of the district were with me. When I came to the village Kalshira, I found the place desolate and in ruins. I was told in the presence of S.P. that there were 350 homesteads in this village, of these, only three had been spared and the rest had been demolished. Country boats and heads of cattle belonging to the Namasudras had been all taken away. I reported these facts to the Chief Minister, Chief Secretary and Inspector of General of Police of East Bengal and to you.
17. It may be mentioned in this connection that the news of this incident was published in West Bengal Press and this created some unrest among the Hindus there. A number of sufferers of Kalshira, both men and women,homeless and destitute had also come to Calcutta and narrated the stories of their sufferings which resulted in some communal disturbances in West Bengal in the last part of January.

*CAUSES OF THE FEBRUARY DISTURBANCE*


18. It must be noted that stories of a few incidents of communal disturbance that took place in West Bengal as a sort of repercussion of the incidents at Kalshira were published in exaggerated form in he East Bengal press. In the second week of February 1950 when the Budget Session of the East Bengal Assembly commenced, the Congress Members sought permission to move two adjournment motions to discuss the situation created at Kalshira and Nachole. But the motions were disallowed. The Congress members walked out of the Assembly in protest. This action of the Hindu members of the Assembly annoyed and enraged not only the Ministers but also the Muslim leaders andofficials of the Province. This was perhaps one of the principal reasons for Dacca and East Bengal riots in February 1950.

19. It is significant that on February 10, 1950 at about 10 o'clock in the morning a woman was painted with red to show that her breast was cut off in Calcutta riot, and was taken round the East Bengal Secretariat at Dacca. Immediately the Government servants of the Secretariat stuck work and came out in procession raising slogans of revenge against the Hindus. The procession began to swell as it passed over a distance of more than a mile. It ended in a meeting at Victoria Park at about 12 o'clock in the noon where violent speeches against the Hindus were delivered by several speakers, including officials. The fun of the whole show was that while the employees of the Secretariat went out of procession, the Chief Secretary of the East Bengal Government was holding a conference with his West Bengal counterpart in the same building to find out ways and means to stop communal disturbances in the two Bengals.

*OFFICIALS HELPED LOOTERS*


20. The riot started at about 1 p.m. simultaneously all over the city. Arson, looting of Hindu shops and houses and killing of Hindus, wherever they were found, commenced in full swing in all parts of the city. I got evidence even from the Muslims that arson and looting were committed even in the presence of high police officials. Jewellery shops belonging to the Hindus were looted in the presence of police officers. They not only did not attempt to stop loot, but also helped the looters with advice and direction. Unfortunately for me, I reached Dacca at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the same day, in February10, 1950. To my utter dismay, I had occasion to seeandknow things from close quarters. What I saw and learnt from firsthand information was simply staggering and heart-rending.

*BACKGROUND OF THE RIOT*
21. The reasons for the Dacca riot were mainly five:

(i) To punish the Hindus for the daring action of their representatives in the Assembly in their expression of protest by walking out of the Assembly when two adjournment motions on Kalshira and Nachole affairs were disallowed.


(ii) Dissension and differences between the Suhrawardy Group and theNazimuddin Group in the Parliamentary Party were becoming acute.

(iii) Apprehension of launching of a movement for re-union of East and West Bengal by both Hindu and Muslim leaders made the East Bengal Ministry and the Muslim League nervous. They wanted to prevent such a move. They though that any large-scale communal riot in East Bengal was sure to produce reactions in West Bengal where Muslims might be killed. The result of such riots in both East and West Bengal, it was believed, would prevent any movement for re-union of Bengals.
(iv) Feeling of antagonism between the Bengali Muslims and non-Bengali
Muslims in East Bengal was gaining ground. This could only be prevented bycreating hatred between Hindus and Muslims of East Bengal. The language question was also connected with it and

(v) The consequences of non-devaluation and the Indo-Pakistan trade deadlock to the economy of East Bengal were being felt most acutely first in urban and rural areas and the Muslim League members and officials wanted to divert the attention of the Muslim masses from the impending economic breakdown by some sort of Jihad against Hindus.

*STAGGERING DETAILS - NEARLY 10,000 KILLED*


22. During my nine days' stay at Dacca, I visited most of the riot-affected areas of the city and suburbs. I visited Mirpur also under P.S. Tejgaon. The news of the killing of hundreds of innocent Hindus in trains, on railway lines between Dacca and Narayanganj, and Dacca and Chittagong gave me the rudest shock. On the second day of Dacca riot, I met the Chief Minister of East Bengal and requested him to issue immediate instructions to the District authorities to take all precautionary measures to prevent spreading of the riot in district towns and rural areas. On the 20th February 1950, I reached Barisal town and was astounded to know of the happenings in Barisal. In the District town, a number of Hindu houses were burnt and a large number of Hindus killed. I visited almost all riot-affected areas in the District. I was simply puzzled to find the havoc wrought by the Muslim rioters even at places like Kasipur, Madhabpasha and Lakutia which were within a radius of six miles from the District town and were connected with motorable roads. At the Madhabpasha Zamindar's house, about 200 people were killed and 40 injured. A place, called Muladi, witnessed a dreadful hell. At Muladi Bandaralone, the number killed would total more than three hundred, as was reported to me by the local Muslims including some officers. I visited Muladi village also, where I found skeletons of dead bodies at some places. I found dogs and vultures eating corpses on he river-side. I got the information there that after the whole-scale killing of all adult males, all the young girls were distributed among the ringleaders of the miscreants. At a place called Kaibartakhali under P.S. Rajapur, 63 persons were killed. Hindu houses within a stone's throw distance from the said thana office were looted, burnt and inmates killed. All Hindu shops of Babuganj Bazar were looted and then burnt and a large number of Hindus were killed. From detailed information received, the conservative estimate of casualties was placed at 2,500 killed in the District of Barisal alone. Total casualties of Dacca and East Bengal riot were estimated to be in the neighbourhood of 10,000 killed. The lamentation of women and children who had lost their all including near and dear ones melted my heart. I only asked myself "What wa coming to Pakistan in the name of Islam."

*NO EARNEST DESIRE TO IMPLEMENT DELHI PACT*


23. The large scale exodus of Hindus from Bengal commenced in the latter part of March. It appeared that within a short time all the Hindus would migrate to India. A war cry was raised in India. The situation became extremely critical. A national calamity appeared to be inevitable. The apprehended disaster, however, was avoided by the Delhi Agreement of April


8. With a view to reviving the already lost morale of the panicky Hindus, I undertook an extensive tour of East Bengal. I visited a number of places of the districts of Dacca, Barisal, Faridpur, Khulna and Jessore. I addressed dozens of largely attended meetings and asked the Hindus to take courage and not to leave their ancestral hearths and homes. I had this expectation that the East Bengal Govt. and Muslim League leaders would implement the termsof the Delhi Agreement. But with the lapse of time, I began to realise that neither the East Bengal Govt. nor the Muslim League leaders were really earnest in the matter of implementation of the Delhi Agreement. The East Bengal Govt. was not only ready to set up a machinery as envisaged in the Delhi Agreement, but also was not willing to take effective steps for the purpose. A number of Hindus who returned to native village immediately after the Delhi Agreement were not given possession of their homes and lands which were occupied in the meantime by the Muslims.


*MOULANA AKRAM KHAN'S INCITATIONS*


24. My suspicion about the intention of League leaders was confirmed when I read editorial comments by Moulana Akram Khan, the President of the Provincial Muslim League in the "Baisak" issue of a monthly journal called 'Mohammadi'. In commenting on the first radio-broadcast of Dr.A.M.Malik, Minister for Minority Affairs of Pakistan, from Dacca Radio Station, whereinhe said, "Even Prophet Mohammed had given religious freedom to the Jews in Arabia", Moulana Akram Khan said, "Dr.Malik would have done well had he not made any reference in his speech to the Jews of Arabia. It is true that the Jews in Arabia had been given religious freedom by Prophet Mohammed; but it was the first chapter of the history. The last chapter contains the definite direction of prophet Mohammed which runs as follows:- "Drive away all the Jews out of Arabia". Even despite this editorial comment of a person who held a very high position in the political, social and spiritual life of the Muslim community, I entertained some expectation that the Nurul Amin Ministry might not be so insincere. But that expectation of mine was totally shattered when Mr.Nurul Amin selected D.N.Barari as a Minister to represent the minorities in terms of the Delhi Agreement which clearly states that to restore confidence in the minds of the minorities one of their representatives will be taken in the Ministry of East Bengal and West Bengal Govt.


*NURUL AMIN GOVERNMENT'S INSINCERITY*


25. In one of my public statement, I expressed the view that the appointment of D.N.Barari as a Minister representing the minorities not only did not help restore any confidence, but, on the contrary, destroyed all expectations illusions, if there was any in the minds of the minorities about the sincerity of Mr.Nurul Amin's Govt. My own reaction was that Mr.Nurul Amin's Govt. was not only insincere but also wanted to defeat the principal objectives of the Delhi Agreement. I again repeat that D.N.Barari does not represent anybody except himself. He was returned to the Bengal Legislature Assembly on the Congress ticket with the money and organisation of the Congress. He opposed the Scheduled Caste Federation candidates. Some time after his election, he betrayed the Congress and joined the Federation. When he was appointed a Minister he had ceased to be a member of the Federation too. I know that East Bengal Hindus agree with me that by antecedents, character and intellectual attainments Barari is not qualified to hold the position of a Minister as envisaged in the Delhi Agreement.


26. I recommended three names to Mr.Nurul Amin for this office. One of the persons I recommended was an MA.,LL.B., Advocate, Dacca High Court. He was Minister for more than 4 years in the first Fazlul Huq Ministry in Bengal. He was chairman of the Coal Mines Stowing Board, Calcutta, for about 6 years. He was the senior Vice-President of the Scheduled Caste Federation. My second nominee was a B.A., LL.B. He was a member of the Legislative Council for 7 years in the pre-reform regime. I would like to know what earthly reasons there might be for Mr.Nurul Amin in not selecting any of these two gentlemen and appointing instead a person whose appointment as Minister I strongly objected to for very rightly considerations. Without any fear of contradiction I can say that this action of Mr.Nurul Amin in selecting Barari as a Minister in terms of the Delhi Agreement is conclusive proof that the East Bengal Govt. was neither serious nor sincere in its professions about the terms of the Delhi Agreement whose main purpose is to create such conditions as would enable the Hindus to continue to live in East Bengal with a sense of security to their life, property, honour and religion.

*GOVERNMENT PLAN TO SQUEEZE OUT HINDUS*


27. I would like to reiterate in this connection my firm conviction that East Bengal Govt. is still following the well-planned policy of squeezing Hindus out of the Province. in my discussion with you on more than one occasion, I gave expression to this view of mine. I must say that this policy of driving out Hindus from Pakistan has succeeded completely in West Pakistan and is nearing completion in East Pakistan too. The appointment of D.N.Barari as a Minister and the East Bengal Government's unceremonious objection to my recommendation in this regard strictly conform to name of what they call an Islamic State. Pakistan has not given the Hindus entire satisfaction and a full sense of security. They now want to get rid of theHindu intelligentsia so that the political, economic and social life of Pakistan may not in any way be influenced by them.


*EVASIVE TACTICS TO SHELVE JOINT ELECTORATE*

28. I have failed to understand why the question of electorate has not yet been decided. It is now three years that the minority Sub-Committee hasbeen appointed. It sat on three occasions. The question of having joint or separation electorate came up for consideration at a meting of the Committee held in December last when all the representatives of recognised minorities in Pakistan expressed their view in support of Joint Electorate with reservation of seats for backward minorities. We, on behalf of the Scheduled Castes, demanded joint electorate with reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes. This matter again came up for consideration at a meeting called in August last. But without any discussion whatsoever on this point, the meeting was adjourned sine die. It is not difficult to understand what the motive is behind this kind of evasive tactics in regard to such a vital matter on the part of Pakistan's rulers.

*DISMAL FUTURE FOR HINDUS*

29. Coming now to the present condition and the future of Hindus in East Bengal as a result of the Delhi Agreement, I should say that the present condition is not only unsatisfactory but absolutely hopeless and that the future completely dark and dismal. Confidence of Hindus in East Bengal has not been restored in the least. The Agreement is treated as a mere scrap of paper alike by the East Bengal Government and the Muslim League. That a pretty large number of Hindus migrants, mostly Scheduled Caste cultivators are returning to East Bengal is no indication that confidence has been restored. It only indicates that their stay and rehabilitation in WestBengal, or elsewhere in the Indian Union have not been possible. The sufferings of refugee life are compelling them to go back to their homes. Besides, many of them are going back to bring movable articles and settle ordispose of immovable properties. That no serious communal disturbance has recently taken place in East Bengal is not to be attributed to the Delhi Agreement. It could not simply continue even if there were no Agreement or Pact.

30. It must be admitted that the Delhi Pact was not an end in itself. It was intended that such conditions would be created as might effectively help resolve so many disputes and conflict existing between India and Pakistan. But during this period of six months after the Agreement, no dispute or conflict has really been resolved. On the contrary, communal propaganda and anti-India propaganda by Pakistan both at home and abroad are continuing in full swing. The observance of Kashmir Day by the Muslim League all over Pakistan is an eloquent proof of communal anti-India propaganda by Pakistan. The recent speech of the Governor of Punjab (Pak) saying that Pakistan needed a strong Army for the security of Indian Muslims has betrayed the real attitude of Pakistan towards India. It will only increase the tension between the two countries.

*WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EAST BENGAL TODAY*


31. What is today the condition in East Bengal? About fifty lakhs of Hindus have left since the partition of the country. Apart from the East Bengal riot of last February, the reasons for such a large scale exodus of Hindus are many. The boycott by the Muslims of Hindu lawyers, medical practitioners, shop-keepers, traders and merchants has compelled Hindus to migrate to West Bengal in search of their means of livelihood. Wholesale requisition of Hindu houses even without following due process of law in many and non-payment of any rent whatsoever to the owners have compelled them to seek for Indian shelter. Payments of rent to Hindu landlords was stopped long before. Besides, the Ansars against whom I received complaints all over are a standing menace to the safety and security of Hindus. Inference in matters of education and methods adopted by the Education Authority for Islamisation frightened the teaching staff of Secondary Schools and Colleges out of their old familiar moorings. They have left East Bengal. As a result, most of the educational institutions have been closed. I have received information that sometime ago the Educational Authority issued circular in Secondary Schools enjoining compulsory participation of teachers and students of all communities in recitation from the Holy Koran before the school work commenced. Another circular requires Headmasters of schools to name the different blocks of the premises after 12 distinguished Muslims, such as, Jinnah, Iqbal, Liaquat Ali, Nazimuddin, etc. Only very recently in an educational conference held at Dacca, the Presidentdisclosed that out of 1,500 High English Schools in East Bengal, only 500 were working. Owing to the migration of Medical Practitioners there is hardly anymeans of proper treatment of patients. Almost all the priests who used to worship the household deities at Hindu houses have left. Important places of worship have been abandoned. The result is that the Hindus of East Bengal have got now hardly any means to follow religious pursuits and performance of social ceremonies like marriage where the services of a priest are essential. Artisans who made images of gods and goddesses have also left. Hindu Presidents of Union Boards have been replaced by Muslims by coercive measures with the active help and connivance of the police and Circle Officers. Hindu Headmasters and Secretaries of Schools have been replaced by Muslims. The Life of the few Hindu Govt. servants has been made extremely miserable as many of them have either been superseded by junior Muslims or dismissed without sufficient or any cause. Only very recently a Hindu Public Prosecutor of Chittagong was arbitrarily removed from service as has been made clear in a statement made by Srijukta Nellie Sengupta against whom at least no change of anti-Muslim bias prejudice or malice can be leveled.

*HINDUS VIRTUALLY OUTLAWED*


32. Commission of thefts and dacoities even with murder is going on as before. Thana offices seldom record half the complaints made by the Hindus. That the abduction and rape of Hindu girls have been reduced to a certain extent is due only to the fact that there is no Caste Hindu girl between the ages of 12 and 30 living in East Bengal at present. The few depressed class girls who live in rural areas with their parents are not even spared by Muslim goondas. I have received information about a number of incidents of rape of Scheduled Caste Girls by Muslims. Full payment is seldom made by Muslims buyers for the price of jute and other agricultural commoditiessoldby Hindus in market places. As a matter of fact, there is no operation oflaw, justice or fair-play in Pakistan, so far as Hindus are concerned.


*FORCED CONVERSIONS IN WEST PAKISTAN*


33. Leaving aside the question of East Pakistan, let me now refer to West Pakistan, especially Sind. The West Punjab had after partition about a lakh of Scheduled Castes people. It may be noted that a large number of them were converted to Islam. Only 4 out of a dozen Scheduled Castes girls abducted by Muslims have yet been recovered in spite of repeated petitions to the Authority. Names of those girls with names of their abductors were supplied to the government. The last reply recently given by the Officer-in-Charge of recovery of abducted girls said that "his function was to recover Hindu girls and 'Achhuts' (Scheduled Castes) were not Hindus". The condition of the small number of Hindus that are still living in Sind and Karachi, the capital of Pakistan, is simply deplorable. I have got a list of 363 Hindu temples and gurdwaras of Karachi and Sind (which is by no means an exhaustive list) which are still in possession of Muslims. Some of the temples have been converted into cobbler's shops, slaughter houses and hotels. None of the Hindus has got back. Possession of their landed properties were taken away from them without any notice and distributed amongst refugees and local Muslims. I personally know that 200 to 300 Hindus were declared non-evacuees by the Custodian a pretty long time ago. But up till now properties have no been restored to any one of them. Even the possession of Karachi Pinjirapole[ii][2] has not been restored to the trustees, although it was declared non-evacuee property sometime ago. In Karachi I had received petitions from many unfortunate fathers and husbands of abducted Hindu girls, mostly Scheduled Castes. I drew the attention of the 2nd Provisional Government to this fact. There was little or no effect. To my extreme regret I received information that a large number ofScheduledCastes who are still living in Sind have been forcibly converted to Islam.

*PAKISTAN 'ACCURSED' FOR HINDUS*


34. Now this being in brief the overall picture of Pakistan so far as the Hindus are concerned, I shall not be unjustified in stating that Hindus of Pakistan have to all intents and purposes been rendered "Stateless" in their own houses. They have no other fault than that they profess the Hindu religion. Declarations are being repeatedly made by Muslim League leaders that Pakistan is and shall be an Islamic State. Islam is being offered as the sovereign remedy for all earthly evils. In the matchless dialectics of capitalism and socialism you present the exhilarating democratic synthesis of Islamic equality and fraternity. In that grand setting of the Shariat Muslims alone are rulers while Hindus and other minorities are zimmies who are entitled to protection at price, and you know more than anybody else Mr.Prime Minister, what that price is. After anxious and prolonged struggle I have come to the conclusion that Pakistan is no place for Hindus to live in and that their future is darkened by the ominous shadow of conversion or liquidation. The bulk of the upper class Hindus and politically conscious scheduled castes have left East Bengal. Those Hindus who will continue to stay accursed in Pakistan will, I am afraid, by gradual stages and in a planned manner be either converted to Islam or completely exterminated. It is really amazing that a man of your education, culture and experience should be an exponent of a doctrine fraught with so great a danger to humanity and subversive of all principles of equality and good sense. I may tell you and your fellow workers that Hindus will allow themselves,whatever the treat or temptation, to be treated as Zimmies in the land of their birth. Today they may, as indeed many of them have already done, abandon their hearths and homes in sorrow but in panic. Tomorrow they strive for their rightful place in the economy of life. Who knows what is in the womb of the future ? When I am convinced that my continuance in office in thePakistan Central Government is not of any help to Hindus I should not witha clear conscience, create the false impression in the minds of the Hindus of Pakistan and peoples abroad that Hindus can live there with honour and with a sense of security in respect of their life, property and religion. This is about Hindus.


*NO CIVIL LIBERTY EVEN FOR MUSLIMS*

35. And what about the Muslims who are outside the charmed circle of the League rulers and their corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy ? There is hardly anything called civil liberty in Pakistan . Witness for example, the fate of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan than whom a more devout Muslim had not walked this earth for many years and of his gallant patriotic brother Dr. Khan Sahib. A large number of erstwhile League leaders of the Northwest and also of the Eastern belt of Pakistan are in detention without trial. Mr. Suhrawardy to whom is due in a large measure the League's triumph in Bengal is for practical purpose a Pakistani prisoner who has to move under permit and open his lips under orders. Mr. Fazlul Haq, that dearly loved grand old man of Bengal, who was the author of that now famous Lahore resolution, is ploughing his lonely furrow in the precincts of the Dacca High Court of Judicature, and the so called Islamic planning is as ruthless as it iscomplete. About the East Bengal Muslims general, the less said the better. They were promised of autonomous and sovereign units of the independent State. What have they got instead? East Bengal has been transformed into a colony of the western belt of Pakistan, although it contained a population which is larger than that of all the units of Pakistan put together. It is a pale ineffective adjunct of Karachi doing the latter's bidding and carrying out its orders. East Bengal Muslims in their enthusiasm wanted bread and they have by the mysterious working of the Islamic State and the Shariat gotstone instead from the arid deserts of Sind and the Punjab


*MY OWN SAD AND BITTER EXPERIENCE*

36. Leaving aside the overall picture of Pakistan and the callous and cruel injustice done to others, my own personal experience is no less sad, bitter and revealing. You used your position as the Prime Minister and leader of the Parliamentary Party to ask me to issue a statement, which I did on the 8th September last. You know that I was not willing to make a statement containing untruths and half truths, which were worse that untruths. It wasnot possible for me to reject your request so long as I was there working as a Minister with you and under your leadership. But I can no longer afford to carry this load of false pretensions and untruth on my conscience and I have decided to offer my resignation as your Minister, which I am hereby placing in your hands and which, I hope, you will accept without delay. You are of course at liberty to dispense with that office or dispose of it in such amanner as may suit adequately and effectively the objectives of your Islamic State.

Yours sincerely,
Sd./- J.N. Mandal 8th October 1950

RAJ KAUR BANGER WILL BE ALIVE FOR
EVER BY HER DESCENDANTS` VIRTUES!

C.L.CHUMBER@GMAIL.COM 

I am very much sad to know the demise of general secretary of Indian Buddhist Society, Toronto, Canada Mr. Hardev Banger’s mother Mata Ji Raj Kaur Banger ( December 4 , 1915 - July 22 , 2009 ) from the www. Ambedkartimes.com and Mr. Raj Kumar Oshoraj of Canada . There is no substitute of mother. A mother’s children are portraits of herself.   Our mothers gave births to us and take care of us even at the fag end of their lives. That is why Punjab ’s Dalit folk singer Mr. Kuldip Manak recorded a song in Punjabi “Maan Hundi E Maan Dunia Walio ". Mr. Manak sent a natural message that the world must realize that there is no substitute of mother. His song was very familiar in Punjab in the seventh decade of 20th century. Our younger brother Mr. Ravi Parkash was so much impressed by this song that he used to sing this song in a very decent voice like Mr. Manak. We often at night requested him to sing that song. This song united us under our mother `s leadership after the death of our revered father Mr. Punjab Rai Chumber, M.A. (Eco), Diploma in Russian.

All the mothers love their children very much. Even at one stage they love their children even more than their husbands. This is due to their emotions that their children rested for nine months in their wombs. Many mothers die at the time of delivery. Every mother takes a risk to her life from the conception of her child to delivery. Every mother dares to give birth to another child! Our mothers are better than our Gods! Mothers gave births to Gods, Gurus, Saints, warriors, journalists, scientists and statesmen! That is why a revolutionary Indian thinker late Acharya Rajneesh said, “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never exited before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."  

Once a warrior died in the battle field, his dead body was brought at home. All the relatives and friends were in shock and were weeping bitterly. But his wife was not weeping. This was very dangerous position for her life. A wise person suggested bringing her child. When she saw her child, she started weeping loudly. I imagine that even the mothers weep on their own deaths by thinking that who will care for her children and their fathers! That is why Buddha advised us, "    Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child ." 

We all are aggrieved on the sad demise of Mr. Hardev Banger’s mother and pay our last respect to her. Let us follow the path of our aboriginal Indian forefathers.

Sharndhanjai Samaroh at Dera Sachkhand Ballan

C.L.CHUMBER@GMAIL.COM

On June 11, 2009 and June 13, 2009 sharndhanjali samaroh of 108 Sant Sarwan Dass Ji and 108 Sant Ramanand Ji were observed at Dera Sachkhand Ballan. Thousands of the millions of followers of Dera Ballan paid their tributes at both the occassions.  As per the earlier established  tradition of the Dera Ballan during such occassion eleven Akhand Paths of Guru Granth Sahib were organised. However, there is a deviation of the tradition this time. Akhand paths of Guru Granth Sahib were not arranged. The bani of Guru Ravidass were recited. This was, as mentioned in the Times of India (Dated 14, 2009) in reaction to the Vienna incidence.

GURU KABIR GURPURAB ON 7TH JUNE, 2009

ADI-GURU KABIR, GURU OF THE ADI-DHARAMIS!

C.L.CHUMBER@GMAIL.COM

Guru Kabir Sahib Ji was a very daring, visionary and honest towards his philosophy. Guru Ravidass and Guru Kabir Sahib both born at Varanasi , the religious capital of the Manuwad. in the Bhakti movement to which we can recall as the Indian renaissance , Guru Ravidass and Guru Kabir Sahib had to face both the priest classes of the Hinduism and the Islam as well as the political power of the Islam as well the socio-economic power oh the Aryans . We are proud of them they did not compromise with these anti-people forces even at the cost of their lives. Guru Ravidass was allured with ' Paras ' by the manuwadis but guru Ji ignored these allurements. Guru Ji `s children are still living in the huts at sheer Goverdhan Pur, Varanasi (U.P., India )

Guru Kabir is not projected in the aboriginal Indians properly. I love Guru Kabir Sahib very much; he lives in my brain, heart and mind. I always run on his way of fraternity having head put on my palms. In Jalandhar city, the Guru Kabir Chowk is my brain child .I popularized Guru Kabir Sahib in the youths of Megh / Bhagat community and they honoured in the Guru Kabir Gurpurab functions.

Advocate Hans Raj Bhagat, a Megh by caste was elected on the Adi Dharam Mandal ticket in the Punjab assembly election 1937 A.D. from the Sialkot seat (now in Pakistan ). He was so revolutionary in those days that he did intercaste marriage with a Chamar lady. His community boycotted him and he settled at Delhi . There is atleast one IPS officer in his family. Let us pledge to follow the path of Guru Kabir Ji and Baba Hans Raj Bhagat MLA and parliamentary secretary.

WE WILL NOT LET SANT RAMA NAND JI DIE IN OUR MEMORIES

Mr. Summan also seen (3) Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji watching the religious literature presented by Sant Rama Nand Ji (4) Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji and Sant Surinder Kumar (Kathaar) at Sant Sarwan Dass Charitable Hospital, Kathaar (Jalandhar).


Adi Dharam Sadh Sangat Ji, Jai Gurdev to all!


All of us are drowned in the ocean of sad demise of Sant Rama Nand Ji of the Dera Sachkhand, Ballan (Jalandhar, Punjab ) in a brutal attack at Vienna ( Austria ). Sant Naranjan Dass Ji, Head of the Dera Ballan was also seriously injured in this brutal attack of the status quo forces which were active even at the time of Sikh Gurus. The Guru Nanak Dev University , Amritsar published a book “Guru Teg Bahadur Teg Bahadur - A Persian Chronicles “in English and Punjabi. In this book we read that the Sikh Sangat objected the wish of Baba Jiwan Singh (Bhai Jaita) to visit the Golden Temple , Amritsar and dip in the sarovar being untouchable. Guru Gobind Rai (Singh) was helpless to fulfill the wish of Bhai Jaita who brought the precious head of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji from Delhi to Anand Pur Saheb. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji determined to annihilate the filthy caste system, the manmukh (traitor) Sikhs deserted him which resulted in death of Guru’s all four children , mother Mata Gujri Ji  and the daring , self respectful Dalit Sikhs . Atleast Guru Gobind Singh was also murdered at Nanded Saheb ( Maharashtra ). The Dalit Sikhs were banned to enter in the Golden Temple , Amritsar in the morning and evening ( only at noon ) as their shadows corrupts the so called upper caste Sikhs  till 12th October , 1920 . Bhai Mehtab Singh Bir (village Baka Pur, Phillaur, Jalandhar) struggled hard to finish this untouchability process. But Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia (1886-1980 AD) founded the Adi Dharam. (Please watch http://www.ambedkartimes.com/, http://www.ambedkartimes.org/ for details)

Then Baba Banda Bahadur dynamited the Mughal state Sirhind and its head Wazir Khaan `s dead body was lying carelessly in the war field of Chapa Chiri near Chandigarh . Baba Banda Bahadur ordered his down trodden followers to capture land as much as they wished but they had to plough means ' land to the tillers '. The present Jatt Sikh peasantry community is the product of this Sikh Revolution. I watched the Census Reports of 1881 AD and 1931 AD in which the thousands of SCs and OBCs recorded themselves as Jatt Sikhs. Such table of census 1881 AD can be watched in “The Punjab Castes “by Mr. Ibbeston published by the Language Department, Punjab Government, HQ at  Patiala . That is why we find all the Gotras of Punjabi SCs and OBCs among the Jatt Sikhs. I published a list of the some similar gotras in my Punjabi monthly magazine the “Kaumi Udarian”‘s Punjab Problem - special issue of July, 1986.
 
Our this thought provoking and liked by the Dalits and Sikhs equally issue was banned by the Punjab government and the notorious TADA ACT was imposed on me to crush the rational , daring and humanitarian thoughts  . That is why the government can not dare to arrest me. The Dalit and Sikh organisations condemned in the press this illogical step of the government at the behest of some Hindu manuwadis. In November 1986, we published special issue to focus how innocent and pious Adi-Bhagwan Shambuk was killed by Ayodhya autocrat king Rama at the behest of the manuwadi Brahmin community who also banished his innocent and pious pregnant wife Sita. We published the colored title cover showing Rama killing Shambuk Maharaj. We published the article on Hindu God Ram which was written by the rationalist and daring Mr. P. H. Gupta Bar at Law from his book “My study in Ramayana " published from ithe Vizag (Andhra Pardesh ) in 1965 AD . Now this book in English and Hindi published by the Delhi Book Co., M-5, Connaught Circus, New Delhi . The government could not ban this issue as this is evident even in the Bhagwan Valmik`s Ramayana in Punjabi published by its Language Department.

Now I am going to conclude. When I was bestowed with a duty to print, edit and circulate the proposed ' Bahujan Samaj Bulletin' Punjabi weekly from my residence at Jalandhar City (Punjab) by the revered Shahid-e-azam Sahib Kanshi Ram at his residence at Humayun Road, New Delhi, I urged Sahib Kanshi Ram Ji to take serious precautions of his security as some our workers at top level were ready to be traitors. He was saved but I became the main target of the internal and external manuwadis which plotted an accident on the election day 7th February , 1997 at G.T. Road , Phagwara ( Punjab ) in which we lost our two part workers and I myself , my wife and son were seriously injured and admitted in the DMC Hospital , Ludhiana for three weeks . Sahib Kanshi Ram Ji came to see us at hospital and came to know the conspiracy. He allowed me to name the conspirators in the court. This will be elaborate in near future.
 
I translated a stanza from a book in Hindi " Shambuk Vadh - Murder of Shambuk " by Mr. Gupta a known Hindi writer in Punjabi and published it in first issue of the Bahujan Samaj Bulletin which was launched by Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji on 16th November , 1996 in the BSP `s state rally at the Daresi Ground , Ludhiana . In this stanza, Saint Shambuk`s behead said to the thumb of the Saint Eklavya that we met the same tragedy but did not worry. Saint Shambuk`s behead encouraged the Saint Eklavya `s cutted-off thumb to came close and put the RAJ TILAK on his forehead!!!!! The RSS claimed in a book that Shambuk`s murder was a political murder. Saheb Kanshi Ram and Sant Rama Nand`s murders are political murders. The same force lost the Lok Sabha elections in 2004 AD and 2009 AD!!!!! Dr. Ambedkar declared that the capitalism and Brahmanism were our two main enemies! The both forces killed our prime movers.

The solution is beheaded of Shambuk. If we would have reacted on the Saheb Kanshi Ram episode, Sant Rama Nand might be saved. With the cold blood killing of Saheb Kanshi Ram, the anti-democracy and anti-constitution forces regain political power at the centre and states.


Atleast we pay homage to Sant Rama Nand Ji who was one of the best visionary, daring and humanitarian friends of mine. We will not die him in our memories! I am sure that our downtrodden but self respectful, honest and hard worker visionary people will bear in mind the warning of Mr. Carlyle," A nation that does not worship her great heroes and leaders , soon comes to grief ."

INDUS VALLEY CIVILISATION!

By C. L. Chumberc.l.chumber@gmail.com

The Bathinda Fort is situated at the Bathinda district head quarter near the Punjab-Haryana- Rajasthan boarder from where the Indus Valley Civilisation excavated at Kalibangan in district Hanumangarh is nearer., the Brass village is situated on the Chandigarh- Fatehgarh Saheb (Sirhind) road near village Chuni and is also connected at Sadhugarh with a link road in between Fatehgarh Sahib - Ambala NH-1 G.T. Road .If you come from Ropar side, then reach Morinda to Chuni road. It is situated in Fatehgarh Saheb district where I used to visit off and on to watch this site when I was Tehsil Welfare Officer, Sirhind in 1979 AD.

The village Dadheri is near  Mandi Gobindgarh tehsil head quarter in Fatehgarh Saheb district on Ambala - Fatehgarh Saheb - Ludhiana NH -1G.T. Road .There is a road from Bus Stand Mandi Gobindgarh to village Dadherhi. The village Singh Bhagwan Pur is on Chandigarh - Jalandhar via Ropar road in between Kurali and Ropar near village Solkhian where the Gurdwara on road is famous. I am very much indebted to my friend S. Santokh Singh Salana (president, formerly Saheb Kanshi Ram Bachaao Sangharsh Committee of which I was national general secretary and spokesman) r/o village Salana Tehsil Amloh district Fatehgarh Saheb who supplied me valuable information regarding the exact locations of these historical villages.

The village Ghuram is situated on Patiala - Pehowa road .If you come from Delhi then you may turn from Kurukshetra on NH - 1 G.T. Road to Pehowa to reach Ghuram. I firstever visited Ghuram in 1980 AD when I went there to meet my school time friend who purchased land in this village after selling his land in village Shankar ( Jalandhar ) .I was lucky to watch my aboriginal Indian forefathers` Indus Valley Civilisation there ! The language department, Govt. of Punjab, Patiala published a survey book on Ghuram.

The Katpalon and Nagar are two adjacent villages on Ludhiana - Nawan Shahar via Phillaur road. You may drop at village Nagar .I have no information regarding location of villages Salaura and Nagiari. Next Sanghol is situated on Chandigarh - Ludhiana road in between Morinda and Khamano in district Fatehgarh Saheb .There is also a road from Fatehgarh Saheb / Bassi Pathaana to Sanghol. The Sanghol is also known as Ucha Pind localy . Fatehgarh Saheb is the focal point of Brass, Dadheri, Singh Pura and Sanghol. Sanghol is near to village Singh Bhagwan Pur which is approached Morinda to Kurali and then to Ropar.

Sunet is now part and parcel of the Ludhiana City .It is situated on Ludhiana - Ferozepur road .The village Rohira is located on the Ludhiana - Malerkotka road. There are also villages Dhogarhi and Ajrhaam where the Indus Valley civilisation was recovered .I read about these villages in Dr. R.S. Sharma’s books .the excavations in these villages may be pre-independence (15th August, 1947) as at Ropar which was seven times destroyed and rebuilted .I read first ever about Ropar in a Hindi text book of Delhi where I completed some classes of my primary education. When you visit Ropar you must visit Saheb Kanshi Ram`s village Khawas Pur on Ropar - Nangal road. The rickshaw pullers charge Rs.10-15 only. Saheb Kanshi Ram was the torch bearer of the Indus Valley Civilisation after the revered Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia.

 The village Dhogarhi is near Jalandhar City. Jalandhar City was the head quarter of US returned Gadhrite Baba Babu Mangu Ram Muggowalia’s Adi-Dharam Mandal. The Adi-Dharam Mandal first ever revived the Indus Valley Civilisation among the aboriginal Indians. You may visit http://www.ambedkartimes.com for more details. The village Dhogarhi is situated on Jalandhar City Alawal Pur road via Dhogari .You may catch local bus Jalandhar to Alawal Pur via Dhogari .It is also situated on Jalandhar City / Cantt. - Pathankot / Jammu railway line having railway station at Dhogari which is now abandoned and now the nearest station is Alawal Pur for passenger trains .You may drop at Railway station Jalandhar City / Cantt. The nearest airport is the Raja Sansi International Airport, Amritsar about 100 Kms.

The village Ajrhaam is situated on Jalandhar City / Cantt. - Hoshiar Pur road near Nasrala .I visited Sanghol ,Sunet , Ajrhaam and Dhogarhi so many times .In 1983 Ad , we visited the Sanghol in a group from Jalandhar .We were M/s late Paritam Ramdasspuri , R.C. Sangar , Prem Kumar Chumber (Editor:http://www.ambedkartimes.com & www.ambedkartimes.org), Surinder Chachoki , Parkash Chand Jassal , Kartar Chand Baudh, Hussan Lal Baudh and many others who can  be identified by the photographs taken at that time .

As below for the viewers and research scholars to know more and more about this ancient Indian civilization developed by the Indian aboriginals and destroyed by the foreigner Aryans.

This is a list of links on 1-7 pages .there are 16+ pages of references on Google research. I have a typhoid fever. i promise that I will present the full list of links for the convenience of the viewers.

I dedicate my this humble effort to the Indian aboriginal martyrs killed in the attacks by the Aryans but they never surrendered to the criminal Aryans, to the martyrs of the Chicago on the may day 2009 and on Sahib Kanshi Ram`s birth platinum jubilee year!!!!!

BABA MUGGOWALIA AGAIN IN FRESNO
AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF A CENTURY

BY: C.L.CHUMBER@GMAIL.COM

Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia, an untouchable of Punjab landed in USA in December, 1909 AD and later on he joined the revolutionary militant movement of NRIs to liberate his country from the Britishers. He was in charge of the Maverick ship loaded with weapons and his new name was Nizamudin. He was arrested in Manila the capital of Philippines in East Asia. He was arrested on the information of Mr. Bela Singh Jiaan resident of village Jiaan near Chabbewal in district Hoshiarpur (Punjab, India) who was later on killed in his village by the Babbar Akalis brutally! Babu Ji returned India after sixteen years and next year he founded the Adi Dharam Mandal like revolutionary socio-religious organisation of the untouchables to “convert “them as “Touchables " .

                        No person in modern period gave the aboriginal Indians their own ADI DHARAM like religion in which their culture and dignity of their Adi Gurus is highlighted. Recently a Sikh professor research scholar emphasized that the Adi Dharam is the revolutionary visionary religion along with the Sikh religion and the Sufi-ism which brought revolutionary changes in the Punjabi society! But most of the Adi Dharami people are thankless society who forgets their emancipator recently .That is why they are slaves since centuries! If they do not mend their ways, they may be slave again.

                         I am satisfied that after the Adi Dharam Brotherhood , UK , Mr. Prem Kumar Chumber and his team placed the photographs in all the Guru Ravidas Gurudwaras including the last one, Mr. Prem Kumar Chumber (Editor of www.ambedkartimes.com) presented the picture of Gadhari Baba Babu Mangu Ram Mugowalia to Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Fresno (California) where our emancipator and international revolutionary militant Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia lived for five years. Please imagine sentiments and sacrifices of his and his lieutenants Gadhrite Babas who sacrificed USA, their lives and properties for our freedom. But we people never bothered for them. We never visit their village and Samadhi Sthal. We never celebrate their birthdays and death anniversary because we are afraid of the Britishers and their stooges’ rulers.

                            I congratulate the members of Shri Guru Ravidas Sabha Fresno , Selma , Sacramento , Indo American Heritage Forum , Fresno ( California ) and Indo US Heritage Association , Fresno and other personalities who are responsible for this ever great achievement . We Indian followers of Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia will come to USA on his route to India via Sri Lanka and Philippines to visit his sites and once again we thank all the committees of Shri Guru Ravidas Gurdwaras ( Sacramento, Selma, Bay Area, Pittsburg, Yuba City, Fresno and New York ) who placed Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia photos in the Gurdwaras ! LEST WE FORGET BABA MUGGOWALIA LIKE EMANCIPTORS OF THE EX UNTOUCHABLES!
