The way forward for Hindus in Bengal if President’s Rule shouldn’t be imposed

The origins of Hindutva lie in Bengal as a result of it’s the territory the place for the primary time on non secular grounds the partition occurred in 1905. The Muslims of the Eastern areas of Bengal demanded a separate political unit within the Eastern area the place they had been in majority however underrepresented in authorities companies and fashionable professions.The Muslims blamed the dominance of Hindus for his or her underrepresentation (not their lack of training), and the British very conveniently divided the Muslim majority and Hindu majority Eastern and Western half, though they had been pressured to retract the identical in 1911.The experiment retracted in 1911 nevertheless it sowed the seeds of partition in addition to Hindutva. The Hindus of the state realized that their dominant function within the positions of energy was at risk as a result of demography was not on their aspect, particularly in East Bengal.The demographic superiority of Muslims finally culminated in partition and the bloody post-partition migration and riots that adopted.However, one partition was not sufficient for Muslims in Bengal. With their rising inhabitants and a beneficial authorities in energy, the Islamists of West Bengal (which is already partitioned) are endangering the lives of Hindus and are triggering their exodus as soon as once more.In the previous few years, particularly after Mamata Banerjee was elected for a second time period in 2016, the affect of Islamists has persistently grown. In the final 5 years, the Hindus of the state have seen all of it; being stopped from celebrating Saraswati Puja to Hindu girls being raped and tortured in open, from being thrown out of their houses for his or her political preferences to being killed for allying with RSS – each passing yr turns into extra torturous for the Hindus of the state.Almost two weeks in the past, a PIL searching for safety of Hindus in West Bengal was accepted by the Supreme Court. As per the PIL, “As a result of violence, loot, killings and terror, Hindus en-masse have been forced to leave their native place and to migrate to Assam. Just like the Hindus who were forced to do the same thing in 1990 in Kashmir.There is every possibility that Islamists will allegedly try to forcibly convert Hindus to condense their stronghold on future elections and TMC, who will become the direct beneficiary may push for the move.If such a course of action is resorted to, the same will be against the sovereignty and integrity of India giving rise to a Kashmir like situation. There is every possibility that those Hindus who do not succumb to Muslim pressure will be forced to leave their native place,” the PIL claimed.Given the scenario within the final 5 years within the state, one can argue that if President’s rule shouldn’t be imposed in West Bengal, Hindus would lose even the a part of Bengal that was given to them through the partition.The Mamata Banerjee authorities is making an attempt to ‘secularise’ the Hindu kids of the state by tempering with historical past textbooks. In 2017, the Mamata Banerjee authorities changed the phrase ‘Ramdhenu’ or Lord Ram’s bow with Rongdhenu.The authorities of Bangladesh modified the phrase Ramdhenu with Rongdhenu many many years in the past so as ‘secularise it and Mamata Banerjee’s authorities adopted. Even after partition, the federal government in Bengal is toeing the road of Muslims, which begs the query; what was the that means of making a separate nation for Muslims?The insurance policies of Muslim majority Bangladesh and Hindu majority West Bengal are one and the identical. Imagine the day when Muslims turn out to be the bulk in West Bengal too.The Hindu or Bengali phrases within the books are being changed with Urdu phrases. For instance, the phrase Akashi (Hindi) for the color of Bhagwan Ram’s Dhanush has been modified with the phrase Asmani (Urdu phrase).“There are linguistic differences between the Muslims and Hindus of Bengal. In an attempt to standardise the language, lot of words have already been compromised and local dialects killed. Now, I don’t feel there is any further need to import Bangladeshi words in Indian curricula,” linguist Sadhan Das stated.If the President’s rule shouldn’t be imposed in West Bengal and the exodus of Hindus continues, the territory would quickly turn out to be a Muslim majority. The neighborhood might both ask for an additional partition or a merger with Bangladesh. Therefore, the Modi authorities should perceive that to avoid wasting the territory, it should impose President’s rule within the state earlier than it turns into a perennial drawback like Kashmir.
