১৯৫০ সালের ফেব্রুয়ারি ও মার্চ মাসে তৎকালীন পূর্ব পাকিস্তানে (বর্তমান বাংলাদেশ) বাঙালি হিন্দু সম্প্রদায়ের ওপর ভয়াবহ সাম্প্রদায়িক দাঙ্গা ও সহিংসতা চালায় দুর্বৃত্তরা, যা ইতিহাসে "১৯৫০-এর পূর্ব পাকিস্তান দাঙ্গা" বা পঞ্চাশের গণহত্যা নামে পরিচিত। দীনেশচন্দ্র সিংহের লেখা "১৯৫০: রক্তরঞ্জিত ঢাকা বরিশাল এবং" নামক প্রামাণ্য গ্রন্থটিতে ঢাকা, বরিশাল ও অন্যান্য অঞ্চলের এই নৃশংসতার বিস্তারিত বিবরণ তুলে ধরা হয়েছে।
১৯৪৯ সালের শেষ ও ১৯৫০ সালের শুরুর দিকে খুলনার কালশিরা গ্রামে পুলিশের তল্লাশি ও সংঘাতকে কেন্দ্র করে এই দাঙ্গার সূত্রপাত ঘটে।
সন্দীপ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের 'দেশভাগ দেশত্যাগ' একটি ঐতিহাসিক ও সমাজতাত্ত্বিক গ্রন্থ। ১৯৪৭ সালের ভারত বিভাজন ও তার ফলে সৃষ্ট উদ্বাস্তু সমস্যা, মানুষের মানসিক ট্রমা, দাঙ্গার ভয়াবহতা এবং বাংলা সাহিত্যে ও স্মৃতিকথায় এই দেশভাগের নীরবতার কারণগুলো এই বইটিতে নিপুণভাবে তুলে ধরা হয়েছে।
দেশভাগ কেবল মানচিত্রের দাগ বা রাজনৈতিক সীমানা পরিবর্তন ছিল না; এটি ছিল সাধারণ মানুষের জীবন, সংস্কৃতি ও মনের ভেতর এক গভীর রক্তক্ষয়ী বিভাজন।
The Rape of Bangladesh is the inside story of the genocide in East Bengal in which Hindu and Muslim men, women, and children are alike victims of an orgy of beastliness unparalleled in human history. The story is told with remarkable simplicity and honest perception, but it sears the imagination. The book starts with the fruitless negotiations for a compromise between President Yahya Khan and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dacca in mid March that provided the backdrop for the bolldbath that began on the night of 25 March.
Mascarenhas says Yahya Khan and the supporters of the military junta never really wanted a settlement with the Awami League on honorable terms. The talks were only a smokescreen devised to put the Bengali leaders off their guard while preparations went on feverishly for a military crackdown. The Rape of Bangla Desh is current history come alive, written competently and objectively, but nevertheless devastating in its exposure of the enormities of a military junta hellbent on smothering democracy and the basic decencies of human society. on 18 May 1971 a Pakistani journalist turned up at the office of the Sunday Times in London. He said he wanted to write the true story of the happenings in East bengal, and the atrocities committed by the military rulers of Pakistan against a whole people in revolt for their democratic rights. He laid down one condition. The Sunday Times must not publish his report until he went back to Pakistan and got his wife and five children out of the country. He went back to Karachi and got permission to send his family to England, but only if he stayed behind. He managed to smuggle himself out as well, and his report appeared in the Sunday Times in june 1971. This journalist was Anthony Mascarenhas, the author of this authentiv, spine-chilling, eyr-witness account of the large-scale massacre perpetrated by Pakistani militarists on the people of East Bengal. Mascarenhas was one of the eight West Pakistani journalists whom the military administration took on a conducted tour of the eastern province so that they could could go back and tell the people of West Pakistan about "the great job the army was doing." Mascarenhas's conscience would not permit him to be an accomplice to this fraud. He decided that "either I would write the full story of what I had seen or I would have to stop writing."
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical dialogue by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, during end of his life.
The nature of God’s existence is being debated by three philosophers Demea, Philo and Cleanthes along with Pamphilus, a young man. Though there are scholarly debates about the three philosophers Hume mentions, however there are no references whether such philosophers were existed in the ancient times or not. Though all the three philosophers agree on the specific point that the God does exist, the debate continues about nature and attributes of God with respect to mankind.

It explores the historical and contemporary experiences of the Hindu minority community in Bangladesh, detailing their socio-political struggles and the legal challenges they face within an Islamic state framework.
It highlights the continuous persecution, social inequalities, and legal injustices encountered by Hindus since the partition of India and independence of Bangladesh.
