The days of Turmoil (Last part )
The turmoil continued to rise to its zenith from 1941 on wards when it became apparently visible that India will get either independence or more freedom to breath.
The main uncertainty prevailed in the course of the war. Rapid Japanese advance in Indo-china and Burma jolted India every now and then creating major suspicion among the concerned circle.
Whatever was the course of the war India continued to divide itself on various issues dominated by regional and communal entities which rose to it’s peak in 1946 when communal riots erupted in various parts of India claiming lives and properties of hundreds of thousands of people.
This communal riots had culminated into communal deception and discrimination which continues still in different form.
The partition of India created two independent nationalities one based on religion and the other on secularism. In fact none of them could still firmly stand be side their avowed objectives.
The fact remains that India I mean greater India is such a land where nothing can be achieved or retained easily. You can still get hundreds of opinions pro or against partition of India from the persons enjoying it.
Many reputed personalities are blamed for it or respected. But minus the independence or partition of India in 1947, achievements in other sectors are very meager.
The well to do section of the society took control in these newly independent countries. Agriculture remained neglected throwing the majority into uncertainty.
Poverty griped the nations particularly the Eastern part of Pakistan. Millions of Bhiris ( Muslim refugees coming from Bihar ) came and settled in major urban areas creating various problems. I
t is not clear whether they had been driven out of India en masse or they voluntarily opted for Pakistan.
The government of Pakistan took long seven years to frame a constitution but failed to continue itimplement it. This has kept the political goal of the state of Pakistan unclear to the Pakistanis themselves.
The Bhiris continued to gain control in public offices keeping the Bangalis far away from main stream. Even the non educated Bhiris also took a secured place in the government owned Railways, the largest employer.
0The government of India denied to export coal to Pakistan maybe with an aim to collapse the Railway system. This has proved to be a blessing in disguise for the migrated Bhiris. They promptly began to burn fire woods and kept the Railway tracks busy.
The whole nation became relieved but the Bhiris took very huge dividend. They began to dominate public offices denying the legitimate rights of the Bangalies.
The migration of Hindu before and after partition and Zamindars and subsequent exodus of Hindu well to do people severe shortage of skilled educated men could cut the throat of Pakistan.
The refuges came to the rescue. Soon it became a happy harbor for all vested quarters including the Kabuliwals ( a section of tribesmen from North West Frontier Province involved in money lending business ).
Soon the Bangalis realized that they are being ruled by another ruler class from abroad the Panjabi –Bihiri allience. They began to organize themselves and gradually began to fight them which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh at long last in 1971.
. Unlike the Indians or Pakistanis a Bangladeshi can claim that we enjoy a liberty achieved by us. So my discussion on any topic might not exclude politics though my attempt here is to focus on the plight of kidney patients.
Let me begin with the state of heath care during British Raj and afterwards.
