}}Ishangopalpur massacre ({{lang-bn|ঈশাণগোপালপুর হত্যাকান্ড}}) refers to the massacre of Bengali Hindus in Ishangopalpur village, in the outskirts of Faridpur on 2 May 1971.[1][2][3] The Pakistan army shot and bayoneted 28 Bengali Hindus to death.[4]{{Violence against Hindus in East Pakistan and Bangladesh}}

Background

On 25 March 1971, the Pakistan army launched Operation Searchlight in East Pakistan. They targeted the Hindus as a community for extermination. After few weeks, they arrived at Faridpur and set up an army base. In the meanwhile, the Hindus of the locality had begun to flee. Around 60 Bengali Hindu families from Faridpur took shelter in Ishangopalpur, a village located six to seven kilometers from the town. The house of erstwhile Hindu landlord Late Ishan Sarkar was located in the village.[3] His grandson Lakshman Sen was staying at the house at that time. After 21 April, NAP leader Chittaranjan Ghosh, his elder brother Jagadish Chandra Ghosh along with a few influential persons from the Bengali Hindu community took shelter in the house.[1] Some of them began to train themselves to fight the Pakistan army.[3]

Killings

On 2 May, the local collaborators led a contingent of the Pakistani army towards the village. They parked their vehicle at the Lakshmi Daser Hat and proceeded to the house of Ishan Sarkar. As the residents attempted to flee, they were caught at gunpoint. 29 inmates of the house were rounded up and led them to the banks of a small water body nearby.[5] They were kicked, punched and bayoneted. Then the male members were killed one by one in front of their wives and children.[1] Before leaving the place, the Pakistan army warned in Urdu that no freedom fighter or Hindus would be spared.[2] One person survived after escaping with a bullet wound.[5] The dead were buried beside the pond.[1]

Aftermath

After the independence of Bangladesh, the mass killing site remained as it is. In 2010, the family members of the victims erected a memorial at the mass killing site.[4][2] On 2 May, the victims were commemorated and verses from the Gita were recited for the peace of the departed souls.[4]
