THE NILGANJ MASSACRE  (English, Paperback, Somdev Chattopadhyay)

Thousands of Indian National Army PoWs in WW II were transported from the war fronts to Jhikargacha. From there, many of them were shifted to the Nilganj Detention Camp near Barrackpore. The British and American intelligence was clueless about the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose for the second time but the I.N.A. PoWs firmly believed that 'Netaji is alive'. All of a sudden, on the night of September 25, 1945, the British Army opened indiscriminate firing upon the unarmed I.N.A. PoWs in the Nilganj Camp. Why did they want to finish the most dedicated 'Black' and 'Special Black' I.N.A. soldiers? How many PoW soldiers got killed in the firing? Did that outnumber the Jallianwala Bagh massacre? How the Nilganj killings intensified the Indian national movement? Most surprisingly, how the brutal incident was completely hidden in the history of the freedom struggle? THE NILGANJ MASSACRE is an explosive non-fiction book to address the heinous war crime committed by the British Army in India.
