Trail of Blood
Dipanwita Saha
After the partition, even if the city of Calcutta has been recovering, the sense of discrimination prevails while giving rents to different communities or in some job sectors. Partition still prevails. Since independence many riots have taken place, but the rearmost one is the citizen amendment act conflict that happened in Delhi in 2020. Due to Covid-19 outbreak when patients were asked to self-isolate, a huge clash began at Telinipara, Chandan Nagar, West Bengal, refusing to stay with people from other communities. India is already going under an economic downfall due to the Covid-19 outbreak which is inevitably going to result in famine and with the addition of these clashes, conditions are going to worsen even more.
