The Partition of Bengal refers not only to the political division of the Bengal province under British India into East Pakistan and West Bengal and the similar partition of the Punjab province into Punjab (West Pakistan) and Punjab (India), but also social, economic and cultural aspects. Four groups of refugees settled in India after the 1947 partition and they were the Bengalis, Punjabis, Tibetans and Ceylonese Tamils. Hindu nationalists made migration from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and there were various allegations against Bangladeshi migration. It never became a mainstream political issue in the state. Now the question was arises why Bangladeshi migration did not become a divisive political issue in the state? The chief objective of this paper is to highlight the predicament of the minority communities in East Pakistan who were uprooted and forced to seek shelter in the Indian province of West Bengal. The present article is also an attempt to highlight the role played by Syama Prasad Mookerjee in the refugee problem in Bengal. Through this paper, an attempt has been made to explicate how Dr. Mookerjee raised his voice in favour of the refugees and their rehabilitation in Bengal.
