Abstract: This is an attempt to understand the partition of Bengal, 1947, in the context of migration and rehabilitation of the partition refugee from East Bengal. It analyzed the political overview of the Central government of Jawaharlal Nehru and other political leaders about Bengali Hindu refugee from East-Bengal. This paper focuses on the reaction of the Government of India especially the prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru to the Bengali Hindu refugee in the eastern border. There is no doubt that in those days Nehru was the main moving force behind every decision and policy adopted by the Government of India. We can see that Nehru’s view on the Bengali Hindu refugee problem had changed in time. He was gradually making distance from East-Pakistan’s Refugee problem. There are several personal and official letters and documents which can prove this type of inhuman behavior from our popular leaders.
Keywords: Refugee, Minority, Exodus.
