Islamic Imperialism in Indiamarry Muslims. Whole villages had been burnt down and razed to the ground. All the entire Hindupopulation of the district had been robbed of all they possessed and then forcibly converted to Islam.’ 563Hindu temples were defiled and the idols smashed. There were about 400,000 Hindus living inNoakhali; at least 95 percent of them were converted to Islam on the pain of death. ‘The converted personswere made to read kalma, 564 slaughter cows and eat their flesh,’ records Khosla. Up to 5,000 people weremurdered, estimated 99 percent of the non-Muslim houses looted and 70–90 percent of them burned down. Asimilar spectacle transpired in the neighboring Tippera District. Gandhi, at the frail age of seventy-seven,came to Noakhali on November 6 to assuage the harrowing riots. He walked door to door of Muslim homespreaching ahimsa and urging them to accept Hindus as their friendly neighbors, while encouraging theHindus, who had taken shelters in refugee camps, to have courage and return home. 565Hindu counterattack in BiharIn the days from the Direct Action to the Noakhali riots, an atmosphere of hostility was brewing up in Bihar.In Calcutta, there were thousands of businesses and workshops, belonging to people from Bihar. Withbusinesses destroyed, and fear and insecurity prevailing, they headed back to Bihar abandoning Calcutta, theiradopted home. They brought with them ‘the harrowing tales of massacre, rape, arson and plunder which theyrelated stirred the emotion of the Bihari Hindus,’ notes Khosla. 566 Fuel was added into this mix by systematicinstigations of explosive nature by Bihari Muslims. On the day of the Direct Action in Calcutta, the BiharMuslim League held a meeting locally, in which speakers emphasized the strength of the sword, which hadenabled their past successes and achievements. Referring to the assertions of leading Muslim League leaders,said speaker Syed Muhammad Abdul Jalil: ‘‘Their (Hindu’s) attack and their conduct is based onnonviolence but… our representatives, Qaid-e-Azam (Jinnah), Nazimuddin and Suhrawardy, have made itclear that, to us, nonviolence means nothing. When we want to fight, we shall make use of whatever weaponswe have.’’Shaheedul Haq of the Muslim Students Federation announced the basic creed of Jihad in the mostprovocative terms, saying, ‘‘for a Muslim the way to haven lay both in killing and being killed by aHindu.’’ 567 To this explosive rhetoric and boiling resentment amongst Bihari Hindus over what had happenedto the Hindus in Calcutta—including those from Bihar, the final dose of provocation was added by theMuslim League President of Biharshariff, who was the Secretary of the Cloth Distribution Committee. Hestamped every cloth ration card with the words ‘‘Allah-ho-Akbar, Leyke rahenge Pakistan (Allah is great, wewill not rest until creating Pakistan).’’ 568Then in mid-October, the horrors of the Noakhali riots started arriving. Statesman broke the story ofmurder, loot and arson in Noakhali on 16 October 1946, followed by similar stories over the subsequent days.Amidst this situation, leaflets containing direct incitement to violence, produced by the Secretary of the localMuslim League in South Bihar, were recovered in various parts of Bihar. Calling Hindus the "enemies ofIslam", the author said of himself to be ‘‘one whose head is to be found besmeared with the blood and dust ofthe battle-field.’’ Another leaflet, addressed to Jinnah, read: ‘‘So far we have given sufficient time to Indianinfidels. It is time to remove the darkness of infidelity (i.e., Hinduism) and illuminate the whole of universe byresplendent Islam. To accomplish this sublime cause we must slaughter the infidels, as was done in the early563. Khosla, p. 68564. Kalma is the Muslim profession of faith.565. Khosla, p. 69–76566. Ibid, p. 77567. Quran 9:111, Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods in return of Paradise: they fightin His cause, and slay and are slain – a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and theQur’an.568. Khosla, p. 79176
Islamic Jihaddays (of Islam in Arabia).’’ Still another leaflet, originated from Calcutta, purportedly contained Jinnah’sinstruction ‘for the destruction of Hindu religion and culture, conversion and murder of Hindus, murder ofnationalist Muslims (they opposed Partition), Congress leaders and bestial attacks on Hindu women.’ 569It was sinking amongst the Bihari Hindus that the whole thing—mayhem, massacre, forcedconversion, enslavement, rapes and plunder—was a well-orchestrated stratagem of the Muslim League toterrify the Hindus and Congress into conceding the demand for Pakistan. Sensing a prospect of troubles, thepolitical leaders urged for calm, while the provincial government issued stern warning against troublemaking,which went in vain. On October 25, there started serious outbreak of violence and atrocity, whichpeaked on November 3–4 and then rapidly died down. ‘During those twelve days, the Hindus of Bihar lettheir passions loose upon their Muslim brethren and drank deep the cup of revenge,’ notes Khosla. Policetried its best to handle the situation even-handedly, but was unsuccessful in containing the surge of violence.Gandhi, hearing of the violence, started fasting unto death in protest; this news cooled down the violencequickly. The Bihari public (Hindus) also played their part in stemming the violence. Nehru, who visited Biharduring the violence, told the Legislative Assembly on 14 November 1946 that ‘a much more powerful factorin the restoration of order was the fact that a large number of persons, chiefly Biharis, spread out all over thevillages and faced the masses. News of the Mahatma’s proposed fast also had a powerful effect.’ 570 Accordingto an estimate of Khosla, the casualties included 5,334 Muslim and 224 Hindu deaths. But the Muslim Leagueleaders exaggerated the number out of all proportions, claiming 20,000 to 30,000 Muslim deaths. 571Riots move to PakistanFrom Bengal and Bihar, the flash-point of riots later moved to the provinces of present-day Pakistan. TheHindu retaliation in Bihar became the focal propaganda tool for the Muslim League to launch the next phaseof violence. The Muslim League Party from North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and other parts ofPakistan sent activists to Bihar to find out what happened there. Joined by students from the Aligarh MuslimUniversity (near Bihar), they brought stories of what had transpired there: a number of skulls of the victims,images, bricks from damaged mosques, and mutilated pages of the Quran—allegedly of the Bihar riots. Theyshowed these to Muslims in the Muslim-dominated areas of Northwest India, particularly in NWFP. Withthese exaggerated propaganda stories, mixed with all sorts of anti-Hindu rhetoric and blood-curdlingslogans—‘‘We will avenge Bihar in the Frontier (NWFP)’’ and ‘‘Blood will be avenged by blood’’—theyincited Muslim mobs to anti-Hindu communal frenzy. Violence against Hindus as well as Sikhs soon startedin the Hazara District of NWFP in December 1946, which quickly spread to most areas of today’s Pakistan. 572It is not possible to give all the details in the short space here, but only brief account of a subset of events willbe included.In NWFP, non-Muslims constituted only 8 percent of the population. In the attack, the minisculeHindu and Sikh population were easily overwhelmed; their shops and businesses were looted and set on fire;Hindu temples and Sikh gurdwaras were plundered and defiled. Although the mobs concentrated mainly onplundering and burning the businesses and religious places, they also killed a number of Hindus and Sikhsand their women were often carried away and forcibly married off to Muslims. The violence remainedconfined mainly in Hazara and, to some extent, in Dera Ismail Khan Districts until January (1947), but thelaunching of a Civil Disobedience Movement by the Muslim League in February intensified the violence,spreading to all districts of the provinces. Mobs, led Muslim League activists, now started mass conversion ofthe Hindus and Sikhs, accompanied with plundering and arson.569. Ibid, p. 80–81570. Ibid, p. 81–83571. Kamra, p. 14572.
