Abstract

The post-independence partition of India and the consequent massive forced migration from East Pakistan to India, particularly in Bengal find little expression in the contemporary history and literature. In this academic adventure, we try to explore the causes that compelled the partition-affected people, particularly Bengali Hindus to migrate from East Pakistan to West Bengal. We look into the reactions of the host society in Bengal and the State Government in relief, resettlement and rehabilitation of the migrated refugees. The way of the migration caused enough ‘penury’, ‘hunger’ and ‘death’ to innumerous refugees and their families. Many Bengali dalit or namashudra writers from East Pakistan like Anil Gharai, Jatin Bala, Kalyani Thakur, Manohar Mouli Biswas, Manoranjan Byapari etc. have endeavored hard to depict the post-partition existential crisis in their works and tried to enrich dalit literary movement of Bengal with their works. In the present paper, I would like to explore the excruciating pain, sufferings and agony due to penury and starvation and life-long struggle of Manoranjan Byapari to escape death in his magnum opus “Interrogating My Chandal Life: An Autobiography of a Dalit”.
