The land of Nobel laureate Amartya Sen was confiscated by the Bangladesh government, but the promise to return it is still pending.

 

Incidents of attacks on Hindus and temples in Bangladesh make headlines in the country and abroad, but since before the independence of that country, the process of occupying the land of Hindus is going on continuously. India also sacrificed its soldiers to get freedom for Bangladesh. At that time also India's favor was considered and it is still considered today. India is counted among friendly countries, but there is so much influence of fundamentalist forces that even today the government has changed its name and is implementing the Enemy Property Act. This act was made when Bangladesh was included in Pakistan. Even after getting independence from Pakistan in 1971, the government continued this act.

On November 6, 2008, a division bench of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh imposed rule nisi on the Government of Bangladesh with respect to the Enemy Property Law (Continuance of Emergency Provisions) (Repeal) Act 1974 and implemented the Arpita Property Extradition Act circular and its administrative orders. decided to

The court had asked to return the grabbed land of Hindus and other communities within four weeks. After this, in the last 15 years, the order of the court has remained in cold storage. The government neither filed a review petition nor did the honorable court bother to run a contempt case. This proved once again that even the courts there bowed down before the fundamentalist forces. It doesn't matter if the Hindu community continues to protest. Cleverly see that the Hasina government has changed the name of Enemy Property Act to Waste Property Act.

By law, this act should have been applicable to those who left their property and went to West Pakistan after the 1971 war, but perhaps the governments of Hasina and Khaleda Zia have considered Hindus as the enemy. That's why the government immediately took possession of the Dhaka property of Hindu politician Dhirendra Nath Dutt, who was martyred at the hands of Pakistani army in the 1971 war.

Apart from this, the entire land of Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, who is currently fighting a documentary battle for 13 decimal land in Shantiniketan, Bengal, was also confiscated after his arrival in India. In 1999, the Bangladesh government announced that it was considering returning the land to the Sen family, after the award had attracted international attention. The fact is that till date it is only being considered.
