Image
  House of the Devil:  Diara Sharif of Shyampur, the residence of Ghulam Sarwar Husseini.  In 1937, Gholam Sarwar Husseini, the scion of a Muslim Pir family, was elected to the Bengal Legislative Assembly on a Krishak Praja Party ticket. However, in the 1946 elections, he lost to a Muslim League candidate. Sarwar's family happened to be the hereditary khadims at the Diara Sharif in Shyampur. After the Direct Action Day riots in Kolkata, Husseini began to deliver provocative speeches, making up false narratives and inciting the Muslim masses to take 'revenge' for the Kolkata riots (which was started by Muslims and Hindus were initially mute spectators and victims. Only after 3 days of non-stop looting, killing, rapes and destruction did the Hindus fight back in self-defence).  In some places, Muslims began to boycott Hindu shops.

  The destroyed house of Rajendralal Roychowdhury. On 11 October, 1946, the private army of Gholam Sarwar, known as the 'Miyar Fauz'(literally Miyan's Army), attacked the residence of Rajendralal Roychowdhury, the president of the Noakhali Bar Association and the Noakhali District Hindu Mahasabha. At that time Swami Tryambakananda of Bharat Sevashram Sangha was staying at their house as a guest. Roychowdhury fended off the mob from his terrace with his rifle for the entire day. At nightfall, when they retreated, he sent the swami and his family members to safety. The next day the mob attacked again. Rajendralal Roychowdhury's severed head was presented to Golam Sarwar on a platter and his two daughters were given to two of his trusted generals. According to Sucheta Kriplani, Rajendralal Roychowdhury had followed the footsteps of Shivaji and Guru Gobind Singh and became a martyr, defending his faith and family honour. Acharya Kripalani, a staunch believer in non-violence...
