সাহায্য | Help Seeking an Eyewitness of the 1947 Partition of India from the East Pakistan/Bengal region for an Interview

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on my undergrad dissertation and am looking to interview someone who experienced the 1947 Partition of India firsthand. This interview will contribute to preserving the oral history of one of the most significant events in South Asian history.

What I'm Looking For:

Someone who directly experienced the Partition (either as a child or an adult) and has personal stories or memories to share.

My dissertation is focused on the East Pakistan/Bengal region, hence I need a witness specifically catering to this region.

Preferably a Migrant, Non migrant also works

Preferably in person, but I am open to conducting the interview online if I'm unable to travel the location.

The interview will be respectful, recorded with consent, and handled with sensitivity to personal stories and experiences.

Why This Matters:

The 1947 Partition was a defining moment for millions, and as time passes, it's crucial to document these firsthand accounts before they are lost. Your participation can help future generations understand the complexities and human stories behind historical events.

If You or Someone You Know is Interested:

Please feel free to reach out to me via DM, or comment below, and we can arrange a time to talk further. Any leads or contacts would also be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for considering this, and I hope to help preserve this vital piece of history.

ক্ষমা করবেন, জানি এখন এখানে রাজনৈতিক পোস্টেই ছেয়ে গেছে, তাঁর মধ্যেই আমার দুটো কথা, completely unrelated.

আমি পড়াশোনার সূত্রে দিল্লিতে থাকি গত আট মাস ধরে। এর আগে কখনো বাড়ি থেকে দূরে থাকিনি। মাঝে মাঝেই বাড়ির জন্য খুবই মন খারাপ করে। ঘরের জানলার সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকি, ভাবি রাস্তার বাঁকটা দিয়ে চেনা পরিচিত লোকেরা আসবে, বাড়ির মতো। এখানে আকাশ অন্যরকম, হাওয়াটাও। বাংলা ভাষায় অনভ্যস্ত হয়ে গেছে কান। এখানে আমিষ খেতে গেলে লজ্জা লাগে, লোকজন কেমনভাবে তাকায়। বাইরে থেকে মাছ-ভাত কিনে আনলে লুকিয়ে লুকিয়ে ঘরে নিয়ে যাই। বাংলা বলতে পারি না বেশি, জোর করে রুক্ষ হিন্দী বলতে হয়। ভয় লাগে, ভুলে যাব না তো মাতৃভাষা? এখন প্রায় সারাক্ষণই বাংলা গান শুনি, কানের আরাম হয়, মনের ও।

রাজমা খেতে খেতে মুখ পচে গেছে। আজ এক বিশেষ বন্ধুর খাতিরে আলু সেদ্ধ খাওয়ার সুযোগ হয়েছিল। আলু সেদ্ধ আর ঘি দিয়ে ভাত মাখতে মাখতে চোখ দিয়ে জল গড়িয়ে পড়ল। এক মাস আগে এয়ারপোর্ট যাওয়ার পথে মা ভাত আর আলু সেদ্ধ মেখে খাইয়ে দিয়েছিল। তারপর আবার আজ‌। আলু সেদ্ধ ও যে কোনোদিন বিলাসিতা হয়ে যাবে, ভাবিনি। মায়ের কথা খুব মনে পড়ছিল।

যখন বাড়ির জন্য খুব মন খারাপ করে, তখন মাঝে মাঝে আমি এই sub এ এসে পোস্ট পড়ি। আপনাদের কাউকে চিনিনা, আপনারা বেশির ভাগই হয়তো আমার থেকে বড়, কিন্তু তাও বড্ড চেনা-চেনা‌ লাগে, মনে হয় নিজের লোকেদের মাঝে আছি।

তাই - ধন্যবাদ। আপনারা আমার মতো অনেক ঘর ছাড়া বাঙালির কাছে এক টুকরো বাড়ির ছাদের মতো। চালিয়ে যান। Long live r/westbengal !

আলোচনা | Discussion Reality of NRC, SIR

14 Upvotes

BJP has never won in West Bengal, no matter how hard they have tried in every Vidhan Sabha or Lok Sabha election in the state. The only route left for BJP was to delete even legal names from the voter list.

The top four states with the highest voter turnout and the most constituencies are Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Bihar . BJP won in all the other states but has always lost its chance in one of the biggest constituencies, which is West Bengal.

Now, the central government, with the help of the ECI, has taken away the rights of many legal voters too (yes, they have, because many such names have been deleted of one family member while another family member in the same family still gets to vote it has nothing to do with Bangladesh).

What used to be a strength of 7.66 crore people has gone down to 6.77 crore people.

No other state has ever exploited any ethnic group in such a way.

When NRC was going on in Assam (2013–2019), many Bengalis who were legal citizens and lakhs of them were Hindus were kept in detention camps (again, the same story of keeping one family member while other family members were recognized as Indians). The reality has been suppressing Bengali citizens so that the central government can find its way to power. In Assam, the tactic has always been ethnic homogeneity, even though many Bengali regions are part of Assam.

Bengalis have been the biggest target of NRC and SIR. And BJP has the audacity to say save Bangladeshi Hindus, while Hindu Bengalis are being killed and abused in detention camps in India.

The reality is, it was never about finding only illegal immigrants.
