1950 East Pakistan riots

"There was not an inch of space to spare in West Bengal for the refugees from East Bengal."

"In 1950 , nearly half a million Hindus were slaughtered in East Pakistan and this led to another exodus of 4 1/2 million Hindus ...The suffering of the Hindus in 1950 is comparable only to the experience of the Jews in Nazi Germany .... Next came one of the biggest genocides in recorded history . In 1971 , three million Bengalis were butchered ... In 1971 , three million Bengalis were butchered , and two hundred thousand women were raped and murdered ...."

"The second phase of the riot started from the 13th afternoon (the first disturbances occurred on February 2) and Natunbazar was attacked. The following mahallas... were attacked and looted, houses were burnt. Among persons killed were influential men such Gurudas Kar and others. The destruction of Hindu houses in those mahallas has been complete. ... villages predominantly inhabited by Hindus... were attacked. ...Harendra Kars daughter Mila Kar aged 19 was forcibly married to Sultan Mian, civil supply contractor, after her father grandfather and brother were slaughtered. There are other reports of abductions. This state of things continued from Feb.13 to Feb. 23 with a relapse of one day on February 22."

"The Muslim League, which destroyed the unity of India, is now determined to destroy the very existence of India and of Hinduism. It should be now clear to the meanest political intellect what the game is. Pakistan wants to rid its territories of the Hindu minority anyhow. For this it utilises all opportunities and every sort of machinery, Governmental and non-Governmental. I have no doubt that the periodical riots in Pakistan are carefully staged by the ruling coterie there. The atmosphere is created by propaganda of hate, Having engineered the riot, the same coterie in the Government refuses to take action or takes only nominal action against the perpetrators of barbaric atrocities on the defenseless minority."

"Pakistan armed and police forces recently burnt, destroyed and looted several Hindu villages in Khulna , Barisal and Rajshahi rendering 50,000 unarmed men , women and children destitute and homeless . Many were killed and pregnant women raped in presence of husbands . Young girls ravished in presence of parents .There has been large scale abduction of women and forcible conversion . Month - old babies snatched away from panic stricken feeding mothers and thrown in the river ."
