Blood Island: An Oral History of the Marichjhapi Massacre by Deep Halder
5.0
The book exposes some brutal truths about what happened to the Hindu refugees who fled from Bangladesh (East Pakistan) to India in the hope to lead decent lives (or at the least have a place to live and be alive). May 14-16, 1979 were the darkest days where the sky, land, and sea turned red with blood, and the cries of the victims echoed in forced silence.
If the people responsible for the massacre weren't the self-proclaimed champions of the poor and needy, aka the Left Front govt., this incident would have been known by every single Indian. The survivors wouldn't still be waiting for justice even after the current WB CM promising to take up the cause and conveniently forgetting their existence.
