The game of silencing our voices. From 1961 to 2026.

Over the years, we have witnessed the prejudice, mockery, trolling, and hostility that many people from Barak Valley have faced across different spaces. Too often, our concerns were ignored, and those who stood with us were heavily outnumbered. Our purpose was never to spread hatred. It was to speak about our people, our history, our identity, and our issues with honesty.

Yet, even raising our voice came at a cost. Our subreddit was banned before we could take forward something meaningful we had planned for our community. Since the beginning, we faced repeated hostility simply for existing as a community space. Despite that, we continued because we believed Barak deserved a voice.

For those of us who grew up in Silchar, 19th May carries deep meaning. It is a reminder of sacrifice, identity, and resilience. We had hoped to mark this day by beginning something bigger for our people. That path may have changed, but the purpose has not.

If anyone believes the voice of Barak can be silenced by pressure, hostility, or attempts to shut communities down, they are mistaken. They have tried it before on 1961 and they can try now. Communities are not built on platforms. They are built on people, memory, and shared purpose.

This is not the end. This is a new beginning.

Jai Hind. Jay Barak.

19th May, Bangla Bhasha Sahid Diwas | Massacre of Bengalis

The 19th May Barak Valley Bengali Massacre (1961)

The 19th May Barak Valley Massacre, also known as the Bengali Language Movement Massacre, was one of the most significant linguistic rights movements in post-independence India. On 19 May 1961, police opened fire on peaceful protesters at Silchar Railway Station in present-day Barak Valley, Assam, killing 11 Bengali language activists who were demanding recognition of Bengali as an official language in the Bengali-majority Barak Valley region . They Injured thousands of the protestors. Even an ambulance was not there for them.

Bengalis had to endure brutal baton charges, Lathi charges, tear gases just because they will not give up their mother tongue " BANGLA BASHA " panic among civilians, people being dragged away, indiscriminate violence, and eventually live firing on unarmed demonstrators.The injured protesters were denied immediate treatment, women and children were terrorized, and railway station areas turned chaotic after gunfire. Some poems the protestors sang :-

"আয় রে তোরা কে দিবি প্রাণ
কে আজ সব করিবি দান
মায়ের লাজ ঘুচাবি আজ-সতেজ দৃপ্ততায়।”-

"মোদের গরব মোদের আশা,
আ'মরি বাংলা ভাষা',"

After the massacre they sang this :

"প্রাণ দিয়েছি আরো দেব, জবান দেব না,
শহীদ তোমাদের রক্তদান ভুলব না।”

প্রতিবাদী কণ্ঠ থেকে উচ্চারিত হল,-

"বল আর কত জনকে হত্যা করবে?
প্রাণ নিয়েছো, আর ও প্রাণ বলি দেব।
কত প্রাণ চাও,
রক্তলোলুপ চালিহা ফিরে যাও।"

Bengali a race which has sacrificed everything for this country , till gets treated as foreigner in his own land.

Why politicians are treated as Godly creature in India?

It really bugs me how folks often treat politicians like they're some kind of divine messengers. I've seen it a bunch, no matter which party is in power, the followers will chant religious slogans at their leader's rallies or when they're around. I'm not saying it's inherently bad or has awful consequences. But honestly, I hadn't seen anything like this about 10-15 years ago.

Ministers often get treated like royalty. They roll with a convoy for security, which is fair enough, but I've also seen people trailing their convoys on bikes and in cars. People elect them for better development, infrastructure, and improved security - that's their main job. But then they do these things, and people go wild, like it's the best thing ever. They're elected to do this stuff, right?

I've been to some rallies where hundreds of thousands of people gathered, and some even showered the leaders with petals and put garlands on them. I mean, why? Are they gods? Some folks even get all teary-eyed just seeing their leaders. I've never noticed anything like that happening in other Middle Eastern countries, though. The main leaders are chosen to serve the country and its people; that's literally their duty.

I apologize if any of my statements were inaccurate; I welcome corrections. My observations are presented without political bias. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Recreating a Healthy Barak Valley sub?

Speaking this on behalf of my barakite friend

​Following the ban of r/BarakValleySpeaks there is an opportunity to recreate a BarakValley sub which would be healthier but yet conservative about language culture and history, no outright r@cism no tolerating insults from other users. ( ​directly banning them) . Embracing the sylheti bengali culture of Barak Valley and it's unique history, also providing a space for the barman kacharis , bisnupriyas and meiteis of barak valley.

Also no promotion of h0st!l!ty towards Brahamaputra valley till it's about history or r@cist remarks from that side

I have not yet intended to make the group want a native barakite to do that and continue moderation

I would help in supervising the sub moderation and creating the looks and feels on behalf of my friend

And today is a lovely day to start it so anyone interested might comments
