Justice for Bathani Tola : 14.7.12 .
Massacred by Ranveer Sena in RJDs Bihar Massacred Judicially in Nitish Regime! .
Sixteen years ago 21 people almost all of them women and children including infants had been butchered in broad daylight in Bathani Tola in central Bihars Bhojpur district. That was when the country woke up to the existence of this obscure hamlet and the sordid reality of the Ranveer Sena, a feudal private army that went on to perpetrate a series of horrific massacres in the late 1990s, killing hundreds of people all over central Bihar. .
Bihar is now ruled by a government which claims to be delivering development with justice. And what has this regime of justice mean for the people of Bathani Tola? In April 2012, all the 23 people convicted by the Ara sessions court were acquitted by the Patna High Court, leaving everybody to wonder who killed the hapless twenty-one in Bathani Tola on that fateful July 11 afternoon in 1996. .
How are we to make sense of this High Court verdict? Is it just a case of judicial aberration? On the contrary, records tell us that this has rather been the norm in Bihar those accused of massacring the rural poor have almost all got acquitted eventually even if some of them may have had to spend a few years in jail as under-trial prisoners. .
Just as the July 1996 Bathani Tola massacre had served to underline the socio-political character of the Lalu regime, the April 2012 High Court verdict call it a judicial massacre or Bathani Tola-II holds a mirror to the dominant socio-political milieu in Nitish Kumars Bihar. While the Supreme Court must judicially review the High Court verdict and ensure legal justice for the Bathani Tola victims, political and social justice demands we must understand the context and implications of Bathani Tola and stand by the victims in their battle for dignity and democracy. .
Reasons Behind the Bathani Tola Massacre: Targeting the Movement for Land, Social Dignity and Political Representation of the Poor .
When Bathani Tola-I happened many thought it was just another caste massacre rooted in some land dispute. But contrary to this common wisdom, Bathani Tola was an explicitly political massacre. It was a massacre perpetrated in broad daylight that targeted women and children, including pregnant women and infants, with a kind of barbarity seen only in genocides marked by the motto of ethnic cleansing. Women were targeted because they would give birth to Naxalites, children were eliminated because they would otherwise grow into Naxalites. .
The CPI(ML)s history in Bhojpur and many other parts of Bihar clearly shows that while land and wages have been important issues, decisive battles often have been fought on questions of human dignity and political representation. In Bhojpur, the right to vote has been one of the most keenly contested issues. In the 1989 Lok Sabha elections, when large numbers of dalits for the first time succeeded in exercising their franchise and electing Rameshwar Prasad as the first Naxalite member of Parliament from Ara, a bloodbath ensued in Danwar-Bihta village just after the polling and as many as22 personshad to pay with their livesthe price for the right to vote. .
Bathani Tola had a very similar backdrop. In the panchayat elections in 1978, Mohammad Yunus had become the mukhiya (chief) of Kharaon panchayat in Sahar block much to the chagrin of the feudal-communal forces in the area. Under the leadership of this popular mukhiya, poor Muslims in and around Kharaon joined the CPI(ML) in large numbers. In 1995, the Sahar (SC) Assembly seat as well as the adjacent seat of Sandesh were won for the first time by the CPI(ML). .
The feudal lobby of Bhojpur became jittery and desperate. The Ranveer Sena was formed with the declared objective of wiping out the CPI(ML) from the soil of Bihar. A communal mobilisation began in Kharaon to deny the Muslim people their customary right to the Imambada and Karbala land. It was in the course of the struggle to defend their land and right that several Muslim families got evicted and had to relocate themselves in the predominantly dalit settlement of Bathani Tola in.
