Since 1947 the ill-fated evacuees from East Pakistan were thrown heartlessly to the various parts of India, particularly into the deep forests, the unknown area of unknown language, culture and climate where they were greeted by various types ferocious wild animals also. Some of them were sent to Mana camp, the headquarters of Dandykaranya Project, where merely livelihood was a challenge there at that time. Mana is now in the divided Chhattisgarh state. In the mine time much water has flown through the river Ganga, but the livelihood condition of the Bengali- refugees has not changed much. On the other hand the govt. imposed various discriminatory black act, on them, like the citizenship amendment act of 2003, where citizenship of the Bengali refugees is in jeopardy.
In this condition, with the leadership of Dr. Subodh Biswas (Nagpur), NIBUSS organized various movements in the various parts of India for a long time, and in the recent past a mammoth meeting was held in Raipur ( In the big playground of Mana camp) on 19th December 2015.

On 20th and 21st Dec15 the refugees of the whole state made a mass rally on the streets of the capital, shouting slogans for1) caste certificate, ii) land right, iii) learning of mother tongue (Bengali) in the school level and vi) to cancel the new amendment of the citizenship act, 2003 and other civil rights. Later on they marched to the assembly house of Chhattisgarh, but Police stopped them on the way, where they started meetings and shouted slogans continuously.
In the meantime the opposition (congress) leader Shri. T.S. Singdew and Shri. Bhupesh Bogwel of the assembly raised the question of the Bengali refugees and supported their demands.
