If you are a Hindu, then, this story is for you. After reading this thread, you will feel proud to be born in India & sympathise with those who couldn’t return back during Partition. (Long Thread) @Aabhas24 @ARanganathan72

@Aabhas24 @ARanganathan72 This is the story of Jogendra Nath Mandal. He was one of the Founding Fathers of Pakistan. Wait, what? Yes. He was a Bengali, and a Hindu ( Dalit ). He was subjected to vehement caste discrimination as he belonged to the untouchable “Namasudra Community.” #BatlaHouse

BR Ambedkar, the father of Indian Constitution, would not have made it to the Constituent Assembly had it not been for Mandal. The @INCIndia was opposed to getting Ambedkar elected. #MissionMangal @arifmohdkha

Mandal held the “myth” that Dalits will be treated better in the newly created State of Pakistan, a country carved out of India on the basis of religion (Two -Nation Theory).

Mandal was eventually made the first Law Minister of Pakistan. @BarristerBashan states that Jinnah convinced Mandal to come to Pakistan as he was aware that the rich Hindus may migrate to India, thereby hurting the Pakistani economy! #ModiLiesAtRedFort

It was due to Mandal’s misadventure that Sylhet, a district of Assam and the land of my ancestors, went to East Pakistan. He convinced the Dalits to vote in favour of Pakistan. @RealHistoryPic @TIinExile

Thanks to Mandal! Now, Muslims in Sylhet called Hindus “Malon/Malu” (a derogatory term for Dalits.) Snippets of my disturbing conversation with a Bangladeshi Hindu girl on Instagram! (She was once told that Allah created your God). @nailainayat #ModiLiesAtRedFort

Mandal, a champion of Dalit rights, supported the Objective Resolutions that turned Pakistan into an Islamic Republic. He believed Dalits will be treated better in an Islamic nation rather than the Republic of India. @arifaajakia

In just 3 years, Mandal submitted his 28-page resignation letter to Pakistani PM Liaquat Ali Khan. It is a must-read for the Millenials who complain about intolerance in India. @ARanganathan72 #IndependenceDayIndia

Maulana Akram Khan’s editorial comments made Mandal realise the sinister plans of the Muslim League.

Mandal returned back to India, after realising his grave mistake. For the remainder of his life, he was rebuked as "Jogendra Ali Mollah". His one decision changed the lives of many people (in a wrong way). #ModiLiesAtRedFort

S. ~ First, feel blessed to be born in India & not be a subject of religious persecution. Second, why is the story of Mandal missing from textbooks? Well, how would have caste and identity politics played out if a Dalit was shown to be disloyal to India? #IndependenceDayIndia
