The Tribal’s Misery, a raging obsession for Bimal Singha

To combat one of the SFI movements, a regular occurrence in the seventies, the police had to arrest Tapan Chakraborty, a fellow SFI activist (later a minister in the third left front ministry in Tripura). Bimal Singha brought the town’s administration to a standstill that day. While staging a demonstration before the SDO office, police resorted to a mild lathi charge on the students. Some of the students had begun to show signs of backing away when Bimal Singha snatched a stick from a policeman and gave the fight a new turn. The law enforcers gave away. The sub-divisional administration bowed to the students demand and released Chakraborty.
