Experiences of Refugee Women After Partition (1947-1962): A Case Study of the Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal
(University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Pal, Agnita
Partition and migration can be considered as a mirroring face of Indian independence. A huge number of refugees entered in India after partition, and among them a considerable number were women. This particular gender unfortunately bore the most lasting scars of partition, both physical and mental, as refugees on one hand and for being women on the other. Adjustment in the new land was very difficult, rather challenging for them. Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal is in fact flooded with the stories of sufferings of those women thereby containing a significant history frozen in the memories of those surviving eyewitnesses. This paper is an attempt to seek attention to those unknown parts of human history.

Post-Independent Administrative Reorganisation And Changes In Jurisdiction Of Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal (1947-1997)
(University of North Bengal, 2019-03) Ghosh, Arun
In 1947, during the time of independence of India, there was a plan of partition of Bengal by the British Colonial Government. So, a Boundary Commission was formed to decide the political boundary between two parts of Bengal province (West Bengal and East Bengal). This Commission was under the chairmanship of Sir Cyril Radcliffe and he was assisted by two Muslim and two non-Muslim members. During that time, there was tug of war situation between the Congress, Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim League regarding the district of Jalpaiguri. However, after the publication of Radcliffe’s Award this district was divided into East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and West Bengal (India). Five police stations of this district were added with East Pakistan, and rest police stations were added with West Bengal. With that partition, jurisdiction of this district compressed from its earlier position. After independence of India and partition of Bengal, till the 50 years of independence the district was administratively reorganised several times, whenever it needed. So in this way the reorganising process of the administrative level of this district took its place, which effected upon several aspects of this district.
