The government's attempt to evacuate the refugees was met with protests and the refugees fought against the police and forest rangers. The intensity of the violence increased on January 31, 1979, when police opened fire on a gathering of refugees, killing 13 people. In the days that followed, authorities imposed a blockade on the island to prevent refugees from accessing food and medical supplies. Many died as a result of disease, starvation, and exposure.
An unknown number of people died in the Marichjhapi massacre, although estimates range from several hundred to several thousand. The massacre was a grave violation of human rights and a blot on the legacy of the Left Front administration in West Bengal.
Although the Marichjhapi massacre is now mostly forgotten in India, it serves as a reminder of the injustice and brutality that Dalits and other underprivileged people had to endure.
In 1979, Jyoti Basu's CPIM government was in West Bengal. And then this Marichjhapi massacre is considered the biggest massacre on Dalit Hindus. In which about 60,000 Bengali Hindus were killed. In which children and women were also involved. Many such incidents happened in Bengal because illegal Bangladeshi Muslims came to Bengal on a large scale in the 60s to 80s. And when Hindu refugees came in front of them, they were massacred. CM Jyoti Basu himself ordered many such incidents.
Marichjhapi Massacre ( 1979 ):
On Saraswati Puja day, the Left Front government led by Jyoti Basu set fire, starved, shot and killed over 60,000 Bengali Hindus who had taken refuge in the Sunderbans region. Many fell into the sea to be eaten by crocodiles while trying to escape; Many bodies were also thrown into the sea. 8-year-olds, 12-year-olds, women and their children, men and women in their seventy and eighty years were killed in the firing. How many refugees died in police firing and how many died in sinking boats trying to escape will never be known. The refugees were harassed only because the CPI-M government led by proletarian leaders decided that they should be killed.
The place where the 1979 massacre took place is named Marichjhapi, a small island in the Sundarbans mangrove forests of West Bengal, India. According to the police report, more than 10,000 people were killed in this massacre which lasted from 24 January 1979 to 31 January 1979.
