Noakhali riots (1946)

On the Indian independence map as “Noakhali”

Oct–Nov 1946 — Organized attacks on the Hindu minority of the Noakhali delta — killings, forced conversions, abductions. Gandhi, 77, walks the district village to village, barefoot, for four months. The violence answers him in Bihar. Remember them.
