Subject: Riot: West Bengal, 2017-Basirhat, Baduria, Tentulia
Dear all,
‘Rioting co-existence’, a
near future, is imminent. This is not some distant dystopian scenario. In accordance
with our recent survey-like field study in different riot-torn localities in
West Bengal, such a day is an eventuality. As a part of our resolute work on
Conflict and Co-existence study, we are trying to accommodate diverse flare of
riot in the continuing saga in a single book format. But here in ‘West Bengal: Riot,
2017-Basirhat, Baduria’ (in Bengali version) is a step of documenting history,
this report attempts to see what people in Basirhat opine and react.
All views expressed before us
in the different phases of Fact-finding are included after comprehensive
analysis. A team of activist, social researcher, psychologist and social
anthropologist reveal some unknown side of the riot and well-researched on
gathered statement, grievance, hint, lament and tear. Report is edited by Subha Protim Roy Chowdhury
and published by Mohit Ranadip. Thanks.
