The Bengal Files: Truth That History Chose to Bury

The Bengal Files is the third film in Vivek Agnihotri’s trilogy, exposing the forgotten Noakhali genocide of 1946 and continued persecution of Hindus in Bengal and Bangladesh.

The film highlights how historical atrocities against Hindus have been erased from textbooks, media, and political discourse due to ideological discomfort.

Events like Direct Action Day and Noakhali involved organized, state-enabled massacres that meet UN definitions of genocide but remain largely unacknowledged.

West Bengal today shows signs of demographic and ideological shifts echoing Kashmir’s 1990 exodus, driven by illegal immigration, vote-bank politics, and cultural marginalization.

The film calls for remembrance as resistance, urging Hindus—especially the youth and diaspora—to reclaim suppressed civilizational memory and confront the silence.
