Stranded

On June 9, 2009, TSI highlighted the plight of a little known community – the Bihari Muslims stranded in Bangladesh. The cover story titled History’s forgotten orphans spoke of the persecution that the Urdu speaking Biharis faced in that country. Urdu-speaking Muslims from eastern UP and Bihar working in the Railways and the Jute Corporation settled in what was then East Pakistan. However, having no affinity with Bengali Muslims, they found the social, cultural and even political atmosphere less than congenial.  Things worsened when they opposed Bangladesh’s bid for freedom. When the country was formed, they faced brutal reprisal, their lands were snatched and most were relegated to slums. None of this got out to the world. Initially, Pakistan repatriated some of these people, the process stopped dead in 1993, leaving several stranded. While many articles on this issue have appeared on many forums since, including the UNHCR website, TSI was one of the first to shed light on the issue.
