During the massacre, the Hindu minority were killed and beaten, and their properties were destroyed. Many Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam and Hindu women were abducted and raped. Often, members of the Muslim mob who slaughtered the Hindus would forcibly marry the widows after converting them to Islam at point of weapon[21].Many Hindu temples were looted and destroyed. Hindus were forced to throw deities into the Ganges river and Muslim mobs forced them to consume beef, which is disallowed in Hinduism[4]
The horror and the underlying conspiracy of this occurrence can best be described in the words of S. L. Ghosh of the A. B. Patrika, quoted below. Says S. L. Ghosh:
"The horror of the Noakhali outrage is unique in modern history in that it was not a simple case of turbulent members of the majority community (Muslims) killing off helpless members of the minority Hindu community, but was one whose chief aim was mass conversion, accompanied by loot, arson and wholesale devastation... No section of the Hindu community has been spared, the wealthier classes being dealt with more drastically. Abduction and outrage of Hindu women and forcible marriages were also resorted. The slogans used and the methods employed indicate that it was all part of a plan for the simultaneous establishment of Pakistan."

You need to do more study on this matter. Yes it began as a great tragedy. The story of Noakhali is not just the massacre but also how Muslim League, Communist (Jyoti Basu was also there!) and Gandhiji amongst other leaders responded to it.
The net outcome was that when the partition took place in 1947, there was peaceful transfer of population in Eastern Borders while severe riots in Western borders. Army was called out in West but killings continued. Whereas, as Lord Mountbatten acknowledged Gandhiji alone saved the day.
Atleast see the movie Gandhi to understand the significance, or read any of the authentic history book.

You can continue to do your queer research! Had you been a RSS guy, things would have been different about Gandhji. In RSS shakhas his name is invoked with respect every day.

Everybody talks about godhra & modi. Can any case in the world beat noakhali massacre. it cant be beaten. even in godhra 250 hindus died. pakistan flag was also unfurled in an ahmeabad locality. wasnt it an act of treason. our fellow secularist can give an explanation for it.
It is about time that Hindus unite and work towards a Hindu Rastra. Well done Modigi, I hope that one day we will see you as our Priminister. Jai Hind.
They are responsible for the looting of natural resources in Africa
Aborgines of America and Australai cant be even found in google search. They are near extinct when most of them are worrying about extinct animals.
After doing all the bloody wars (war I, war II, atomic bombs) now they are crying as if they are holy souls and inventors of secularist.
India hasnt done such henious acts to be felt as guilty.
How much reservations has govt of australi or england (who looted the entire world), or america given to their aborgins?
It accepted that everybody should be treated equal and i am not supporter of mass murders. Having said that you cant create a peaceful and developed society by keep blaming the majority and depriving them their social rights. It happens only in India.
NDTV is a national shame.
Talk about uniform civil code. Do the pseudo seuclarists have ever bought muslim property and complications involved in it?
Raking up the Communal Past & Poisoning the Society on Communal Basis is the Divine Duty of RSS Goons. They are born to Polarize the Society & Whip up the Communal Passion.

Ignoring the majority ppl and licking the minority and no capacity to question the ethic of westeners the duty of NDTV and you like pseudo secular goons. You are born to lick the minority and whip up the communal passion the other way.
Do you know how many ppl got murdered in partition?
If you really worried about human rather than religion, can you send any of your links which you posted for the mass killing of hindus in kashmir? Any links that you have posted against terrorism? Not hanging of afzal? Any links posted against mass murder of sikhs? mass murder of tamils in srilanka?

can u give ur divine sermon on the noakhali massacre in your country (BANGLADESH), where hindus were ethnically cleansed.
I, myself am a secularist, but i'll, unlike my fellow so-called-secularist, not shy away from praising modi.He has done great deal in instilling pride amongst hindus. for the so called secularist, why haven't they raised their voices for the plight of hindus in malaysia or gulf countries or even in kashmir. for them hinduism doesn't exist. secularism means showing impartiality towards each & every religion and not against one particular minority-to garner their votes. I just hope that the people of the minority community in question, realize this divisive policy of all & sundry secularist(or rather pseudo-secularist) in this country. for me people like mukhtar abbas naqvi are the real secularist.
just to put my point, i'm quoting someone "These self-styled secularists would not address their sermons of secularism to the Islamic countries, where for a Muslim to convert a non-Muslim into Islam is an act blessed by Allah, but for a non-Muslim to convert a Muslim into his religion is a crime calling for the death penalty."
