A Civilizational, Historical, and Demographic Necessity
In the first article, we have examined the basis of the Indian nationhood and religious nature of the defenders of the Indian nationhood and also of the separatists. We have further, examined the numbers of Hindu refugees who fled East Pakistan (and later, Bangladesh) and how they have been distributed in India. We also highlight the demographic danger that Assam is in and the need for the CAB to preserve the demography of Assam. We also highlight the distribution of the Indic refugees in Assam and how they are vital to the existence of Assam’s demographics in many districts. We have, further, examined the historical presence of the Bengali Hindus in Tripura and examine if they have changed the demography of the state, and whom they have replaced. We conclude with an examination of the other Indic refugees in Jammu and Tamizh Nadu, who have arrived from W Pakistan and Sri Lanka respectively, who have been shabbily treated.
A Historical Defense: Hindu Bengal’s Contribution to India
In the second article on the topic, we examine the stances of the various parties on the citizenship amendment bill. Further, we have examined the basis of the nationhood, and how the Indics from various parts of the world rushed to defend India when there was a chance to free her from the British. We show that in the twentieth century, both in ideas and actions, the freedom movement against the British was driven by the Hindu Bengalis. It started from their losing the awe of the British in the last part of the nineteenth century, which precipitated intellectual and physical retaliation from them against British racism. Then under the inspired leadership of Arabindo Ghosh and Bepin Chandra Pal, the Hindu Bengalis ushered in the freedom movement against the British through the anti-partition movement in 1905 that spread from Bengal to the rest of India, and was the first nationwide mass movement against the British shorn of Jihadi motivation. Ideas and messaging that would drive the freedom movement from here onwards were formulated and coalesced in Hindu Bengal before and during this anti-partition agitation, starting from Bande Mataram in the late nineteenth century, to Swaraj and Swadeshi just before and during 1905. The Hindu Bengalis comprised of the bulk of the revolutionary freedom fighters, and they organized, trained and contributed to revolutionary movements, not merely in their province, but throughout India and even abroad. Finally, we present an ethnic demographic decomposition of the revolutionaries based on the names that we could collect from various sources, including governmental ones, which for the first time quantifies the domination of the Hindu Bengalis in the revolutionary movement. This demographic analysis shows that the Hindus from East Bengal contributed the most to the revolutionary movement, not only within Bengal, but also considering all other ethnicities.
The Hindu Bengali Support for Subhas Chandra Bose
The third article focusses on the role of Subhas Bose in fight for freedom against the British. We all know that Subhas Chandra Bose was instrumental in liberating India from British slavery, at least the explicit version. It is also well-known that he was a Hindu Bengali. What we however show here is that his identity was merely not an accident of birth, it was at the core of his being, it was instrumental in motivating him to brave impossible odds in pursuit of his mission to liberate India. He was the product of the Hindu Bengali revolutionary ecosystem, it was this ecosystem that was the bulwark of his support throughout, it was this ecosystem that sustained him. This point has been examined in an article that appears in multiple parts.
In the first part of the third article, we have examined the Hindu Bengali support for Subhas Bose, who constituted the spearhead of the attack against the British in fight for freedom. We show that the Hindu Bengalis remained steadfast in their support to Bose in his quest for freedom. We show that his support came from the rank and file of the Bengal Congress, from the Hindu Bengali intellectuals and his finances from the Bengali Hindu businessmen.
The Organic Connection Between Subhas Chandra Bose and the Hindu Bengali Masses
In the second part of the third article, we have examined the organic connection between the Bengali population and Subhas Bose. Bose deeply loved Bengal and was in turn, loved by the Bengalis. He embodied certain virtues that the Bengalis prized and as such, he was loved by them. Similarly, he loved Bengal for what it was and missed it terribly when he lived outside Bengal. Bengali suffering was always in his mind, and he always strained to do everything to alleviate the distress in Bengal. Finally, we have examined the claims made about Bose by certain authors purporting to investigate his disappearance and see if they hold water.
In the fourth article on the Citizenship Amendment Act, we have examined the persecution of the Hindus in Bangladesh. We have examined the geographical applicability of the act. We compute the total number of illegal Muslims in Assam and Bengal and how many of them have been legalised in Assam by the NRC, and examine the demographic, political and strategic effects of the NRC without the CAA. We further dispel a few myths about the NRC and the illegal immigration from Bangladesh to Assam and Bengal by looking at the linguistic and political data. In political terms, we have examined the effects of the Citizenship Amendment Act in the Bengali seats of Jharkhand by examining the vote share of the BJP in the pre-CAA and post-CAA phases. Finally, we document how the NRC has affected the economy of Bengal and Assam.
The Potential Beneficiaries of CAA – Numbers from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
In the fifth article, we examine the number of refugees that have sought refuge in India from 1971. Using the census of Bangladesh, we examine how many additional Hindus there should have been in Bangladesh and where in India they have sought shelter from the persecution. We show that the number of missing Hindus in Bangladesh [without the descendants] is between 30 and 45 lakhs. We further show that there are 49 lakhs additional Hindus in Bengal, and 7.9 lakhs in Assam, and that nearly 10 lakh are missing. These may have been killed or converted in Bangladesh. Similarly, we point out that there are 3-4 lakh Hindu and Sikh refugees from Pakistan, while the number of refugees from Afghanistan might be as high as seven lakhs. We point out that the huge number of refugees in India makes it infeasible to give citizenship to them on a case by case basis, and thus, there exists a need for a comprehensive law that gives citizenship to dharmic refugees in India.
