The 'Direct Action Day' on 16th Aug, 1946 was a dark chapter in Indian history.

Hindus had endured yet another religions fury, the fanaticism of the highest vile, an organised massacre under state patronage.

A #thread to throw some lights on the evil design of #DirectActionDay
Jinnah realised that he cannot become the 1st PM of an independent India & shifted his focus on the demand of a separate Muslim state.

Saying good-bye to any form of Constitutional possibility, the Muslim League gave a call to Muslims to observe 16th Aug 1946 as #DirectActionDay
In reality, #DirectActionDay was a call for the violent jihad against Hindus.

It was unleashed by the Muslim League in all big cities and towns.

In this #thread we will focus on the events that took place in Calcutta.
