Significance of 28th August, 1949

[Excerpts from ‘Koch Rajbanshi Kamtapuri – The Truth Unveiled’ written by Self (Capt. Nalini Ranjan Ray)] 

During the Freedom struggle, Rajbanshis of North Bengal or Koch Rajbanshis Assam took part in all activities under the banner of Indian National Congress. Even the Koch-Rajbanshis of the princely State of Cooch Behar unconditionally (and) actively supported the Congress party in pursuance of freedom. Numerous Koch or Rajbanshi people courted arrest during different stages of the freedom struggle. Most of these people had a blind faith on the Congress Party that spearheaded the freedom struggle. Indian Independence Act, at last was passed in British Parliament on 18th July 1947 and India became a free nation on 15th August 1947. The kingdom of Cooch Behar, which was reduced to a much smaller in size, by a document (Agreement) signed by Maharaja Jagaddipendra Narayan (with the Dominion of India), ceded it to the Dominion of India on 28th August 1949. Once a formidable kingdom that ever existed in the North East India had to come down to its lowest ebb, like one of the 565 princely states joining free India, administration of Cooch Behar finally got transferred to Govt. of India on 12th September 1949 under a Chief Commissioner. Subjects of the erstwhile Koch king were given all possible of assurances on their overall development and fulfilling their social-economic-political aspirations. Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, then Chief Minister of West Bengal and an influential national (leader of) ruling party Indian National Congress successfully tried his best to merge Cooch Behar into the fold of his state. Under section 290A of Government of India Act, 1935, Cooch Behar was merged with the state of West Bengal as a district within on the 1st January 1950.

Geographical and Demographic Positions of Rajbanshi Group of People The ethnically one, Rajbanshi group, one of the most tolerant indigenous people of strategically located areas in whole of North Bengal(barring its hilly terrains); in a sizable portion of Assam; western part of Meghalaya; Purnia, Kishanganj districts and eastern part of Katihar district of Bihar; Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari districts of Nepal; Rangpur, East Dinajpur districts and some parts of north west Mymensingh, northern Rajshahi and Bogra districts of Bangladesh and lower parts of Bhutan where these indigenous people ordinarily reside from time immemorial.

RAJBANSHI-KAMTAPURI - AN OLD LANGUAGE AND NOT A MERE DIALECT

RAJBANSHI-KAMTAPURI - AN OLD LANGUAGE AND NOT A MERE DIALECT It hurts my feelings if someone says that Rajbanshi or Kamtapuri is mere a dialect a not a language. After painstaking work of almost ten years, I endeavoured to find out the truth about the language and penned it down in my book ‘Koch Rajbanshi Kamtapuri – The Truth Unveilled (Guwahati, 2007) . To clear the doubts about this language, I wish to reproduce some relevant portions of the book as follows: [ “…. It was not an easy task to ascertain the circumstances under which today’s North Bengal and its neighboring areas lost their pristine glory, which, otherwise was once a central hub for acculturation among various races in northeastern part of India. Their language that was once believed to be the lingua-franca of the entire Koch Empire is dying today due to non-recognition. It still holds good for the Rajbanshi people to take Bankim’s suggestion seriously and get onto the job of writing history lest Koch or Rajb...

Inclusion of Cooch Behar State with Dominion of India and Subsequent Merger with West Bengal: The Turbulent Political Phase

Excerpt from my book “Koch Rajbanshi and Kamtapuri – The Truth Unveiled”(Guwahati, 2007) … When the freedom struggle engulfed whole of India by turn of nineteenth century, Koch-Kamta people of North Bengal jumped into it. Many unknown freedom activists went to jails and many made their supreme sacrifices. On 18 th July 1947, Indian Independence Act was passed in British Parliament. India became a free nation on 15 th August 1947. As per Section 7(I) of the said British act, it was stated that British Crown lapsed their paramount hold over the Indian Princely states and these were free to either join any dominion of India and Pakistan or remain sovereign. Soon after India won her independence on the 15 th August, 1947, most of the erstwhile princely states numbering more than five hundred lined up for inclusion either with dominion of India or Pakistan. Except few princely states like Junagarh, Jammu & Kashmir, Hyderabad most of them had no choice but to agree to the instru...
