The book "My People, Uprooted" of @tathagata2 also explains the need for NRC and the threat these Bangladeshi infiltrators, for whom the entire liberal opposition is worried about, posses for the Hindu majority of our country.
Bangladesh had a huge number of ‘Bihari Muslims’. This community as the name states, consisted primarily of Muslims from Bihar, along with Muslims from the Eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh and assorted Urdu-speaking Muslims from West Bengal.
They emigrated in large numbers to East Pakistan in the days after 1947, and settled down mostly in the industrial towns such as Narayangunge and Chittagong, and the Railway towns of Santahar and Saidpur.
They did not mix at all with the native Bengali Muslims, and in fact there was positive ill-feeling in certain parts of East Pakistan between the communities.
Nrisingha Pati Changdar, a survivor of the Santahar train massacre recalls that Bengali Muslims of the area used to be quite scared of the Biharis. It is these Biharis who, rather than the West Pakistanis, committed most of the atrocities on Hindus, barring those of 1971.
When the Bangladesh liberation struggle started the Biharis, to a man, supported the Pakistanis, and became their most trusted lieutenants. After Pakistan lost the war they all wanted to get back to rump Pakistan. s
Now Pakistan did a neat volte-face and declared that it did not recognise any obligation to repatriate anyone of ‘East Pakistani domicile’ to West Pakistan. So the Biharis were caught neatly in a cleft stick.
The Bangladeshi Muslims’ animosity towards them was really intense, and even the pro-Pakistanis among the former could not come out in the open in defence of them. The result was that they began to get a taste of what they had practising on the Hindus so far.
There were pogroms against them too, and they shut themselves into ghettoes such as Mirpur and Mohammedpur in Dacca. And dreaming of escaping to Pakistan.
But Pakistan was a thousand miles away, and they had to cross that much of Indian territory to reach there.
But Pakistan was a thousand miles away, and they had to cross that much of Indian territory to reach there.
Some of them tried even that, so bad was their state in Bengali Bangladesh. A few eventually succeeded, finally getting their dream shattered from landing up in slums like Orangi in Karachi where a murderous fight raged among Pathans, Mohajirs and Sindhis.
They added a fourth element there, because even the Urdu-speaking Mohajirs from western U.P. did not accept them as equals, and they continued to be called Biharis. Then they found an old refuge : India. And in particular the familiar states of Bihar and West Bengal.
Thus they came full circle : having traveled from India driven by Hindu persecution or in the hope of finding an Islamic haven they settled down in East Pakistan and made room for themselves by butchering and driving out the Bengali Hindus.
Then they lost their Pakistan and came back in large numbers to the state populated by the selfsame Bengali Hindus whose brethren they had once butchered and driven out.
And what did the Bengali Hindus of West Bengal do when they began to infiltrate into their state ? Very strangely, they pretended it was not happening, and looked the other way. Leftist politicos there with shady connections and Bihari Muslim roots gave refuge to the infiltrators
Bihar itself was no different, and the same thing happened there. Then those who were secure brought in more, and with the numbers came Pakistani agents. With the result that today areas like Metiabruz and Rajabazar in Calcutta are Pakistani-Bihari ghettoes
And with the further movement of these Muslims into the Hindi heartland, the demography of as many as four districts in Bihar – Purnea, Katihar, Araria and Kishanganj – has altered drastically in favour of Muslim
Now is the time for all those Hindus protesting against CAA and NRC to evaluate their demand of granting refuge to these muslims who are being persecuted in Bangladesh.
They are not persecuted because of their religion like the Hindu minority of Bangladesh. They are presecuted because of their criminal background. With Hindus being historically worst affected victims of their wrath, do we really need these people to be staying in our country?
