Jyoti Basu की Left Front सरकार के दामन पर सबसे बड़ा दाग, जब हजारों दलित शरणार्थी की हत्या कर दी गई

In this powerful episode of Shonar Bangla, we dive deep into one of the darkest and most forgotten chapters of post-independence Indian history: the Marichjhapi Massacre of 1979. In the late 1970s, thousands of Bengali Hindu Dalit refugees—fleeing persecution in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) after Partition and the 1971 war—settled on the remote island of Marichjhapi in the Sundarbans, West Bengal. They had escaped horrific conditions in distant Dandakaranya camps in central India, hoping to rebuild their lives in their cultural homeland. But what followed was a tragic eviction operation under the newly elected Left Front government led by Chief Minister Jyoti Basu. From January to May 1979: • An economic blockade cut off food, water, and supplies. • Police actions included firings, alleged brutality, rapes, and forced evictions. • Thousands died from starvation, disease, violence, and drownings—official figures claim only a handful, but survivor accounts and researchers estimate deaths in the thousands (some as high as 10,000). We explore the historical context of Partition refugees, the role of caste and class, the environmental vs. human rights debate, the suppression of the story for decades, and why this event—often called one of independent India’s largest state-sponsored atrocities—remains erased from mainstream narratives. Through survivor testimonies, historical analysis, and reflections on justice and memory, this episode uncovers the human cost of forgotten policies and the resilience of those who survived. #MarichjhapiMassacre #Sundarbans #BengaliRefugees #PartitionHistory #WestBengalHistory #DalitHistory #ForgottenAtrocities #ShonarBangla Khabargaon is a modern-day digital platform that helps you travel through current affairs, explainers, ground reports, interviews and unique video shows.
