Direct Action Day (Part 2)
Revenge of Hindus
This thread is the sequel of Direct Action Day. Those who have not read this thread. Pl read this thread first Jinnah chose Kolkata (Calcutta) for his Direct Action day coz he wanted to have Kolkata in Pakistan. Kolkata was major business city of India that time n Jinnah didn’t want to lose Kolkata. Making Kolkata Hindu free was given to Suhrawardy who was CM of Bengal n Loyal to Jinnah.
That time Calcutta had 64 per cent Hindus and 33 per cent Muslims in 1946.
Suhrawardy’s started to execute plan on 16th August a strike was declared by him n all Muslims closed their shops n gathered in maschid. It was Friday n 18th day of Ramzan.and after namaz Muslim mob started to butcher Hindus. and as Suhrawardy expected Hindu didn’t show any resistance and easily succumbed to Muslim mob. Suhrawardy assured the Muslim mob, that he has instructed the police to not come in the way of their mission.
Mob of lakhs of Muslims armed with iron rods, swords and other dangerous weapons spread to several parts of Calcutta and neighboring areas. A Hindu shop of arms and weapons near the Muslim League office was attacked first. it was looted and burnt to ashes.
Owner and his employees were beheaded. Hindus were chopped like vegetables. Many Hindu women and young girls were kidnapped and taken away as sex slaves. On 16th August thousands of Hindu were killed n Hindu women were raped.
Killing kept going on 17th August also.
600 Hindu labors mostly from Orissa at Kesoram Cotton Mills Lichubagan were beheaded. Dance of massacre was going on in Kolkata. Hindus were running from Kolkata, Suhrawardy was assure abt his victory by 19th August. Thousands of Hindu had been killed till 17th August
But on 18th August, A Hindu decided to resist. He was a Bengali Brahmin n his name was Gopal Mukherjee. His friends used to call him Patha coz he used to run a meat shop. He used to live at Malanga Lane in the Bowbazar area of Kolkata.
Gopal was 33 year old that time n a staunch nationalist and firm follower of Subash Chandra Bose n critique of Gandhi’s principle of non-violence. Gopal use to run a street organization Bharat Jatiya Bahini. He had 500 - 700 people in his team all were well-trained wrestlers.
On 18th Aug Gopal decided that they will not run n will counter attack on Muslims. He called his wrestlers gave them weapons. Marwari decided to finance him n gave him money. His plan was first secure Hindu area by counter attack.
His words were “Kill 10 Muslim for 1 Hindu”
ML was having lacs of jihadi while Gopal was having only few hundred fighters but they made the plan n decided to fight till end to save Kolkata becoming Muslim city. They made the rules that unlike Muslims they will not touch any enemy women n children.
Gopal himself was having 2 pistols that he got from Azad Hind Fauz. From afternoon of 18th Aug, Hindus in leadership to Gopal started to fight back. On 18th when Muslims came in Hindu colony to kill Hindus they were greeted by Gopal’s team.
Gopal’s team killed each n every Muslim mob who came to kill Hindus n by 19th they had secured all Hindu colonies. It was complete surprise for Suhrawardy. He didn’t think that Hindu will resist in this way.
When By 19th August they have secured Hindu area their revenge started from 20th August. They marked all Jehadis who killed Hindus on 16th and 17th August n attacked them on 20th August.
By 19th Msg was reached to all Hindus that Hindus in leadership of Gopal were fighting
So by 21st August lot of Hindus had joined him now started the revenge of Hindu. They killed so many Muslims in 2 days that by 21st deaths of Muslims outnumbered to deaths of Hindus. Game had changed by 22nd August now Muslims were running from Kolkata.
Suhrawardy accepted his defeat n rushed to congress leaders to request to stop Gopal Panda who had become Yamraj for Muslims. Gopal got ready on the conditions that all Muslim surrender their weapon to him that Suhrawardy accepted.
Jinnah plan to capture Kolkata was shattered by 22nd August. Bhagwa flag was waving in Kolkata.
After Kolkata Gopal did not dissolve his organization and kept saving Hindus of Bengal. When everything had been over, As police comes at the end of Film, Gandhi met to Gopal with his lessons of non violence and Hindu muslim unity and asked him to surrender his shastra (weapons).
Gopal’s words were “Gandhi called me twice, I didn’t go. third time, some local Congi leaders told me that I should at least deposit some of my arms. I went there. I saw people coming and depositing weapons which were of no use to anyone, out-of-order pistols, that sort of thing Then Gandhi’s secretary said to me: ‘Gopal, why don’t you surrender your arms to Gandhiji?’ I replied, `With these arms, I saved the women of my area, I saved the people. I will not surrender them. Where was Gandhiji, I said, during the Great Calcutta Killing?
Where was he then? Even if I’ve used a nail to kill someone, I won’t surrender even that nail.”
Suhrawardy said “When Hindus make up their minds to fight back, they r the most deadly and lethal race in the world”
Gopal Patha and Syama Prasad Mukherjee were the two legendary hero who save Hindus of Bengal from Jehadi but before reading this thread how many of u were aware of Gopal Patha.

Since Gopal did not follow Gandhi’s principal, his name was removed from books of history. But He is the unsung Hero of India who saved lives of lacs of people. Only due to him Kolkata is part of India today.
Never forget this name – Gopal Patha.
