Noakhali genocide & its relevance in the present timesNoakhali1946
Weeks following the Kojagori Lakshmi Puja day on 10 October 1946, the Bengali Hindu population in the outlying districts of Noakhali and Tipperah were nearly annihilated by a devastating genocide. A series of organized massacres, gang rapes, abductions, forced conversions and economic boycott followed by starvation, malnutrition and diseases resulted in the forced outmigration of the surviving Bengali Hindu population, resulting is an ethnic cleansing. The perpetrators including the Muslim National Guard, the ex-servicemen and the private armies of Muslim League leaders celebrated Pakistan Day on 23 February 1947 and soon after the area was incorporated into Pakistan, as the Partition of India took place.
The Noakhali genocide, later became the standard template for the Islamists in East Pakistan and later Bangladesh to deal with the Bengali Hindu and other ethnic minorities. While the genocide and ethnic cleansing continued unabated, we developed a tradition of greeting them with a stony silence. However, this was not the case when the genocide took place in Noakhali and Tippera. Two weeks after the massacres had begun, Hindus from all over India had observed Noakhali Day as a mark of solidarity with the victims of the genocide. It was not only observed in Patna, Delhi and Mumbai, but also in faraway places like Lahore and Karachi, then a part of India. Hindus all over India observed 'black' Diwali in 1946 to express their solidarity.
In 2014, the Noakhali Day shall be observed again not only to express our solidarity for the victims of the Noakhali genocide, but also as an initiative to revive the tradition of expressing our solidarity for the Hindu victims of genocides anywhere in the world. A mere expression of solidarity may not bring any justice to the victims of the genocide or their kins, however, it may help us in getting started towards fulfilling our duty of bringing peace to the departed souls. Let us make a collective resolution for building a Noakhali genocide memorial on the occasion of Noakhali Day.

“Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait
The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (we built the pyramids)
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
That all started with the ___ ____.”
38. Prasanna De Silva is a great hero who rarely comes into media
limelight. He spearheaded the liberation of Eastern Sri Lanka
from the LTTE, which began in Mavil Aru in 2007. He was then a
Colonel and was in command of the Army’s elite Brigade Special
Forces which was successful in assassinating several high-level
commanders of the LTTE in LTTE-held territory. As a result of his
success, he has become a major threat to LTTE during Srilankan
Civil War and made it to their ‘high priority’ hitlist.
Who is his more famous daughter who came into Indian media
limelight a few months ago?

41. The term mainly originated due to the sitting positions. The
place had more fans than their stadium could hold. Due to the
over-crowding, some fans started sitting on the walls that
surrounded the pitch. The first image that passers-by had as they
neared the stadium was of the backsides of the fans sitting on the
wall watching the games. From that time onwards, the
supporters came to be known as X or Y in their native language,
which means those show their backsides.
Id the word X or Y which was once used in a derogatory sense but
is now proudly used by followers.

44. No one knows exactly how X was invented or who invented X.
The credit of inventing X goes to 5th century BC Chinese
philosophers Mo Tse and Lu Ban. According to ancient and
medieval sources, X was used for measuring distance, testing the
wind, signalling and also in military communications for rescue
operations. Hundreds of years later, scientists used X in their
experiments. Alexander Wilson used X to measure temperature
of atmosphere.
Id X which can be associated with the desi avatar of Vulcan or
Hephaestus.

47. During First World War, French soldiers loved Pinard so much that
they rechristened it as “Pere Pinard” or St. Pinard. The other
nicknames such as Jinjin, Picolo, Picrate etc. show their affection
towards St. Pinard who eventually became companion of every
French soldier. By the time of WW2, it had garnered a legendary
status among soldiers. But the French defeat to German Blitzkrieg
led Marshal Phillipe Petain to blame St. Pinard for the devastating
failures of French Army.
Who/what is St. Pinard, whose over-dependence was regarded as
the cause of French defeat?

53. The legal term X is the Latin word for a chamber, in particular the
judge’s private chamber as opposed to the public courtroom. But in
modern times it has taken on a figurative sense relating to the
quality of privacy itself, losing its literal link to the room. Originally X
meant any vaulted or arched space, but in the Romance languages
derived from Latin (such as Italian, French, Portuguese etc) it
became a general word for any habitable space. The Hindi word that
derived from the Portuguese root word of X ,also means “room”
and will remind you of a comedian in no-flying list.
ID the good word X.
