Spoke on two crucial episodes of Bengal’s history: the Bengal Famine of 1943 and Dr Mookerjee’s herculean efforts at organising relief beyond caste, creed and religion under the banner of the Hindu Mahasabha, while the Khaksars and the Muslim League agents were busy deporting starving Hindu boys and girls and force converting them. 2.
