Report sought from 10 states on why SC status not granted to subcastes among rehabilitated Bengalis
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has issued notices to 10 states seeking a report on why scheduled caste status has not been granted to Namasudra, Paundra, and Rajvanshi sub-castes among rehabilitated Bengalis who came from East Pakistan in 1947. The NCSC Chairman (in-charge) Arun Haldar has started an investigation and sought a report. The Uttar Pradesh government has passed a bill to grant them SC status, pending with the central government. The Nikhil Bharat Bengali Samanway Samiti, led by Dr Subodh Biswas, has been raising concerns for over two decades.
