Language Martyrs in Assam, India
Partition
Center Report
May 19, 2020
On May 19, 1961 eleven
young Bengali Hindu individuals were murdered by Assam Police in Bengali
majority Cachar district of Assam for asking them to be taught in Bengali in
their schools. As sectarian Assamese politicians wanted to push entire Sylhet
district of Assam to Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Cachar residents voted in a 1947
plebiscite to remain in India. Assam Police fired on a peaceful demonstration killing
11 young Hindu Bengali.
They are:
Srimati (Ms.) Kamala
Bhattacharya
Sri (Mr.) Kanailal Niyogi
Sri Sunil Sarkar
Sri Sukomol Purakayastha
Sri Hitesh Biswas
Sri Tarani Debnath
Sri Sachindra Pal
Sri Chandi Charan
Sutradhar
Sri Kumud Ranjan Das
Sri Satyendra Deb
Sri Birendra Sutradhar
Here are a few pictures
of commemoration from Paschimbanger Janya (For West Bengal)
We all pay homage for
their sacrifice.
