August 16, 1946. Direct Action Day.
Survivor of #DIrectActionDay and Noakhali riots, Rabindranath Dutta (92) recalls how naked, butchered bodies of H women were hung from hooks at Raja Bazar beef shops.
Victoria College girls were raped, killed and bodies tied to hostel windows.
Rabindranath Dutta told me how he stood watching heaps of slaughtered H bodies during 1946 #NoakhaliRiots, pools of blood around his heels.
Most women’s bodies had breasts missing, just black bite marks at those places and the genitals.
It is hard to even listen to his accounts.
After his wife died, Rabindranath Dutta sold her ornaments to self-publish 12-13 books on #DirectActionDay, Noakhali massacre, and 1971 genocide. First-hand experiences, rare research.
He says nobody in Bengal gave a damn…no politician, media, publisher, activist, or filmmaker.
