What is the lasting legacy of the Nehru family and Congress party in India?

The lasting legacy of Nehru family and congress party in India is Musl!m appeasement even at the cost of national security. This was recently seen in in post Pahelgam, J&K massacre, Operation Sindoor air battle with Pakistan, Karnataka government appeasement policies etc. in 2025.

Calcutta (now Kolkata) city was rocked by a massive communal violence in August 1946 which was started by the Musl!m League goons to include that city in proposed Pakistan. Thousands of people died in a riot called ‘Direct Action Day’. This was followed in October 1946 at Noakhali which was even more horrible.

Jawaharlal Nehru was confirmed to become PM of independent India soon. He was sleeping on these anti-Hindu riots. As a reaction to these anti-Hindu riots, an anti-Muslim riot broke out in Bihar. This time Nehru became super active and threaten to bomb the Bihar villages which will indulge in anti-Muslim riots. This double standard was followed by all congress dynastic leaders.

Wah! Nehru, wah! What a great secularism imposed on India!

Direct Action Day - Wikipedia

1946 sectarian violence in British India Direct Action Day (16 August 1946) was the day the All-India Muslim League decided to take a " direct action " using general strikes and economic shut down to demand a separate Muslim homeland after the British exit from India. Also known as the 1946 Calcutta Riots and Great Calcutta Killings , it soon became a day of communal violence in Calcutta. [ 5 ] It led to large-scale violence between Muslims and Hindus in the city of Calcutta (now known as Kolkata) in the Bengal province of British India . [ 3 ] The day also marked the start of what is known as The Week of the Long Knives . [ 6 ] [ 7 ] While there is a certain degree of consensus on the magnitude of the killings (although no precise casualty figures are available), including their short-term consequences, controversy remains regarding the exact sequence of events, the various actors' responsibility and the long-term political consequences. [ 8 ] There is still extensive controversy regarding the respective responsibilities of the two main communities, the Hindus and the Muslims, in addition to individual leaders' roles in the carnage. The dominant British view tends to blame both communities equally and to single out the calculations of the leaders and the savagery of the followers, among whom there were criminal elements. [ citation needed ] In the Indian National Congress ' version of the events, the blame tends to be laid squarely on the Muslim League and in particular on the Chief Minister of Bengal, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy . [ 9 ] Thus, the riots opened the way to a partition of Bengal between a Hindu-dominated Western Bengal including Calcutta and a Muslim-dominated Eastern Bengal (now Bangladesh ). [ 8 ] The All-India Muslim League and the Indian National Congress were the two largest political parties in the Constituent Assembly of India in the 1940s. The Muslim League had demanded since its 1940 Lahore Resolution for the Muslim-majority areas of India in the northwest and the east to be constituted as 'independent states'. The 1946 Cabinet Mission to India for planning of the transfer of power from the British Raj to the Indian leadership proposed a three-tier structure: a centre, groups of provinces and provinces. The "groups of provinces" were meant to accommodate the Muslim League's demand. Both the Muslim League and the Congress in principle accepted the Cabinet Mission's plan. [ 10 ] However; Nehru's speech on 10 July 1946 rejected the idea that the provinces would be obliged to join a group [ 11 ] and stated that the Congress was neither bound nor committed to the plan. [ 12 ] In effect, Nehru's speech squashed the mission's plan and the chance to keep India united. [ 11 ] Jinnah interpreted the speech as another instance of treachery by the Congress. [ 13 ] With Nehru's speech on groupings, the Muslim League rescinded its previous approval of the plan [ 14 ] on 29 July. [ 15 ] Consequently, in July 1946, the Muslim League withdre

Direct Action Day: the forgotten massacres of Hindus

16 August marks the 76th anniversary of Direction Action Day. On this day in 1946, thousands of Hindus were killed in Calcutta, Howrah, Noakhali, Metiaburz, Kidderpore, Ballyganj, Mominpur, and many other parts of Bengal. Direction Action Day was the catalyst for the disintegration of Bharat into India and Pakistan. The Muslim League had met in Bombay on 29 July 1946 and declared that 16 August 1946 was to be observed as Direction Action Day in furtherance of its avowed aim of creating the independent Islamic State of Pakistan out of India. The call triggered violent attacks on Hindus by Muslims, with some Hindus retaliating in the ensuing riots. It was a systematic campaign against Hindus and included organised rapes of Hindu women, abductions and forced conversions of Hindus in some parts of Bengal. The movement gained support among a cross-section of Indian Muslim intellectuals, youth and masses. Here are some excerpts of Direct Action Day propaganda that was being circulated in 1946: Source: Muslim Politics in Bengal 1937-1947 by Shila Sen Source: The Great Calcutta Killings and Noakhali Genocide by Dinesh Chandra Sinha and Ashok Dasgupta Source: The Great Calcutta Killings and Noakhali Genocide by Dinesh Chandra Sinha and Ashok Dasgupta This leaflet was issued by a front organisation of the Muslim League: (source: The Great Calcutta Killings and Noakhali Genocide by Dinesh Chandra Sinha and Ashok Dasgupta) Some other leaflets being circulated at the time included the following:

Noakhali genocide - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Noakhali genocide were violent attacks with killings, rapes, and kidnappings, along with stealing and burning of Hindu homes. These acts were done by Muslim mobs in Noakhali , a district in the Chittagong Division of Bengal (now in Bangladesh ), during October and November 1946 , one year before India became free from British rule . [ 1 ] The violence happened in areas under the Ramganj, Begumganj, Raipur, Lakshmipur , Chhagalnaiya, and Sandwip police stations in Noakhali, and also under Hajiganj, Faridganj, Chandpur, Laksham, and Chauddagram police stations in Tipperah. This covered over 2,000 square miles. [ 2 ] The killing of Hindus began on 10 October, the day of Kojagari Lakshmi Puja , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and continued without stopping for about a week. Around 50,000 Hindus were trapped in these areas controlled by Muslim radicals , where the government had no power. [ 5 ] Mahatma Gandhi stayed in Noakhali for four months, traveling through the district to bring peace and harmony. Meanwhile, the Indian National Congress leaders started to accept the idea of dividing India. As a result, peace efforts and relief camps were stopped. Most survivors moved to West Bengal , Tripura , and Assam . [ 6 ] In 1937, elections were held in India’s provinces, and Muslims got power in Bengal . But under British rule , Hindus had been in charge as zamindars (local rulers). Hindus were also better educated and richer. Some Muslims had old anger against Hindu zamindars and wanted to express it. They got their chance when British rule was ending. Muslims tried to stop Hindus from getting jobs. Muslims were poor in provinces where Hindus were the majority. The partition of Bengal and actions by the Muslim League also caused problems. The relationship between Hindus and Muslims was very weak. The Noakhali riots were mainly because Muslims were angry at Hindus as British rule ended, and because of killings of Muslims in Calcutta. There were also rumors that the zamindar of Ramganj, Rajendra Lal Chowdhury, wanted to sacrifice a Muslim boy instead of a goat. This rumor triggered the riots, which began on 11 October 1946. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Tensions between Muslims and Hindus in Noakhali grew after the Calcutta Riots. At first, it was quiet, but the tension increased. Six weeks before the trouble began, the Eastern Command headquarters in Kolkata got reports of unrest in Noakhali and Chittagong villages. Village poets and singers made anti-Hindu songs and poems, sharing them in markets and public places. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] On 29 August, during Eid al-Fitr , violence broke out. A rumor spread that Hindus had hidden weapons. [ 10 ] A group of Hindu fishermen fishing in the Feni River was attacked with deadly weapons. One fisherman died, and two were badly hurt. Another group of nine Hindu fishermen from Charuriah was attacked. Seven needed hospital care. [ 11 ] Devi Prasanna Guha, the son of a Congressman from Babupur village under Ramganj police station, was killed. His brother and a
