Year 1947 was one of celebration for those who had dreamt of a free India. But it was also a year of mourning for those who lost their homes and families as partition ripped apart two ends of a subcontinent. The Muslim League obtained the Islamic state and the Indian National Congress power and control over India. Politicians won. The people lost.
Wounds do not heal easily. The victims of partition were waiting for justice which never came. Instead, all cries and voices of dissent were ruthlessly suppressed in a Nehruvian state which imposed the Leftist concept of secularism, ignoring the injustices and carnage. This was the first of Nehru’s many blunders.

KANTHI: Lashing out at BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday said that the former West Bengal minister will lose by over 50,000 votes in any seat he contests in his home turf Medinipur.
Addressing a public meeting around 5 km from Adhikari family residence Shantikunj here, the TMC youth wing chief contested claims that Purba Medinipur district is the Adhikari s fortress and asserted that the BJP will lose the upcoming assembly elections due in April-May. West Bengal will re-elect Mamata Banerjee as the chief minister for the third time with the TMC winning more than 250 seats and trouncing the BJP, he said.

Malice, Arrogance Not Tagore s Culture: JP Nadda To Mamata Banerjee Malice, Arrogance Not Tagore s Culture: JP Nadda To Mamata Banerjee Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strong faith in Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and the culture, literature and philosophy of West Bengal, JP Nadda tweeted.
Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress repeatedly embarrases Bengal, JP Nadda said in a tweet.
The battle between the BJP and Bengal s ruling Trinamool Congress escalated today with party chief JP Nadda ripping into Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of being motivated by jealousy, political malice and arrogance . This, he said, is far from the culture of Bengal and the legacy of Rabindranath Tagore.
