The speaker uncovers a dark chapter in history – the bloody pogrom against Hindus in East Pakistan during February 1950. The roots of animosity trace back to the partition of Bengal in 1905 and the events of 1947. Hindus faced brutalization, rape, and murder, leading to mass migrations to West Bengal. Despite protests from figures like Dr. Prasad Mukherjee, Nehru’s response was indecisive. A pact was signed with Pakistan, despite knowledge of the government’s role in the atrocities.

The aftermath saw inadequate support for East Bengal refugees in India, with Leftists and Communists suppressing the truth. Excuses for concealing atrocities include forgiving and forgetting, blaming the British, and economic struggles. The speaker, dedicated to raising awareness, encourages others to write on the topic. Their book serves as a contribution, highlighting the lack of recognition for these human rights violations. It briefly touches on the current situation in Bangladesh, noting rule variations and implications for Hindus. Historical events like the Gandhi-Jinnah talks’ suppression in 1944 and the Shimla Agreement mishandling are critiqued.
