Distinguished as a leader representing the Scheduled Castes (Dalits), Mandal vehemently opposed the partition of Bengal in 1947. His rationale rested on the apprehension that a divided Bengal would subject the Dalits to the dominance of the majority caste-Hindus in West Bengal (India). Eventually opting to maintain his base in East Pakistan, Mandal aspired for the welfare of the Dalits and assumed a ministerial role in Pakistan as the Minister of Law and Labour.[3] However, a few years subsequent to the partition, he left for India, tendering his resignation to Liaquat Ali Khan, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, citing the perceived anti-Dalit bias within the Pakistani administration.

Political career in Pakistan (1947-1950)

Jogendra Nath Mandal emerged as one of the 96 founding figures of the Dominion of Pakistan, aligning himself with the Muslim League (ML). During their inaugural session, which transpired shortly before the partition of India on 15 August 1947, he was elected as their interim chairman.[13] Notably, as Muhammad Ali Jinnah prepared to assume the role of the first Governor-General of Pakistan, he entrusted Mandal with the responsibility of presiding over the session, underscoring his profound confidence in Mandal's foresight and moral rectitude. Mandal was subsequently appointed Pakistan's inaugural Minister for Law and Labour.[14]

Regrettably, Mandal's tenure in this esteemed position was truncated due to persistent subjugation within a bureaucracy dominated by the Muslim majority.[15][16] The situation deteriorated further following Jinnah's demise in September 1948. Confronted with atrocities committed against his constituents, the Dalits, by Muslim rioters supported by the police, Mandal voiced his protest. This principled stance led to discord between him and the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Liaquat Ali Khan.[17]

Returning to India (1950)

In 1950, Jogendranath Mandal found himself compelled to repatriate to India, a decision precipitated by an outstanding arrest warrant against him in Pakistan.[6][5][4] In submitting his resignation to Liaquat Ali Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan at that time, Mandal underscored the perceived failure of the Pakistani administration to address the inaction against rioters responsible for perpetrating atrocities against Dalits and minority communities. His resignation letter delineated instances of social injustice and a purportedly biased disposition towards non-Muslim minorities.

Upon his return to India, Mandal encountered a lack of acceptance by any political party. Nevertheless, undeterred, he persevered in his endeavors to aid the rehabilitation of Hindu refugees from East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh), whose influx was rapidly impacting West Bengal. His demise occurred on 5 October 1968 in Bongaon, North 24 Parganas under mysterious circumstances.[18]

The Dalit Leader Who Chose Pakistan, Became Law Minister, Then Returned To India: Jogendra Nath Mandal's Story

Know the untold story of Jogendra Nath Mandal, a prominent Dalit leader who became Pakistan's first Law Minister, only to return to India after Jinnah's death amid rising religious extremism.

The Dalit Leader Who Chose Pakistan, Became Law Minister, Then Returned To India: Jogendra Nath Mandal's StoryJogendra Nath Mandal's Story (PHOTO: ZEE NEWS)

With India marking its 79th Independence Day, the tale of Jogendra Nath Mandal, the eminent Dalit leader who opted for Pakistan over India during Partition, presents a heart-wrenching and lesser-known page from the history of the subcontinent. Disillusioned with India's social order and initially attracted by the promises of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Mandal became the first Law Minister of Pakistan. But his expectations were thwarted as religiosity did a rapid turnaround, eventually forcing him back to India.

A Dalit Leader's Journey To Pakistan

Born into a farmer's family belonging to the Namasudra community (a Dalit group) from Barisal, British India, Jogendra Nath Mandal overcame odds to seek education, eventually graduating with a law degree in 1934. Far from practicing law, he spent his life fighting against injustice and striving for the betterment of Dalits.

Add Zee News as a Preferred Source 

Mandal's political life started with Barisal municipal elections, where he worked relentlessly to enhance the lives of marginalized people. During the 1937 provincial election, he defeated the Congress district committee president and secured the Bakarganj North-East assembly seat as an independent candidate.

Under the initial influence of Subhas Chandra Bose, Mandal was eventually drawn towards the Muslim League when Bose quit Congress. Mandal was also highly impressed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Mandal was pivotal in making Ambedkar win the 1946 Constituent Assembly polls from Bengal when Ambedkar lost from Bombay. Mandal was a member of the Constituent Assembly himself and played a significant role in formulating the Indian Constitution through his deliberations and suggestions to Ambedkar.

Influenced By Jinnah, Warned By Ambedkar

In the 1946 riots, Jogendra Nath Mandal went through East Bengal, advising Dalits not to retaliate against Muslims but to consider both groups as victims of oppression by Hindu upper castes. It was then that he sided with the Muslim League and became a close associate of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Although he was not the first to favor India's partition, he eventually became convinced that the condition of Dalits would never change in an upper-caste dominated Hindu-majority country and Pakistan could provide a better alternative.

In October 1946, Jinnah selected Mandal as one of the five representatives of the Muslim League in the interim Indian government. When Mandal opted to immigrate to Pakistan after Jinnah's assurances, he was cautioned by his peer and India's leading Dalit leader, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. However, influenced by Jinnah, Mandal opted for Pakistan.

Pakistan's First Law Minister And Later Disillusionment

On Partition, Jogendra Nath Mandal shifted to Pakistan and became its Constituent Assembly member and temporary chairman. Jinnah assigned him the responsibility of chairing the first session of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. By a stroke of fate, while Dr. Ambedkar was made India's first Law Minister, Jogendra Nath Mandal was made Pakistan's first Law Minister and Labour Minister.

Yet, Mandal's dreams started to fall apart soon after Jinnah's demise in September 1948. He saw firsthand the worst kind of discrimination inflicted upon Dalits and was shook to the core by the growing violence against Hindus in Pakistan. His political stock declined sharply after Jinnah's death. Even though he made sincere appeals to Pakistan's first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, regarding the issues faced by Hindus and Dalits, his appeals came to naught.

Mandal had dreamed about Pakistan being a country where Dalit emancipation could bloom, but the open discrimination against Hindu minorities crushed all his dreams. Religious extremists started oppressing Hindus, and Mandal felt more and more alone in Pakistani politics.

The Painful Return To India

A chain of events following the death of Jinnah disillusioned Mandal, who felt that there was no one remaining in the government that would ensure promises to minorities were kept. He witnessed the emergence of people who were bent on putting religion into the state. Things became so tough for Mandal in Pakistan that he was forced to escape.

In 1950, Pakistan enacted the controversial 'Objectives Resolution,' which was favored by nearly all Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly (with the exception of Mian Iftikharuddin) but opposed by nearly all minority members. Even one of the minority members had the following to say: If Jinnah were alive, this resolution would never have been passed." Mandal stayed in Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan's cabinet until 1950, even grumbling all along about atrocities committed on Dalits in East Pakistan.

Jogendra Nath Mandal eventually put in his resignation on October 8, 1950. In his letter of resignation, he showed deep despair regarding the future of the minorities and listed the reasons why he had lost faith. He mentioned hundreds of Dalit killings in Bengal by the army, police, and Muslim League activists, which hurt him deeply and totally severed his attachment to Pakistan.

Upon resigning from the Pakistani government, Mandal's re-entry into India, or more precisely West Bengal, caused a political commotion. He migrated to India in 1950. Ironically, in India too he was suspicious of his own kind because of his Pakistani background. Though he had been a close confidant of Dr. Ambedkar, India's leading Dalit leader prior to Partition, Mandal now had no political backing.

He spent his later years in a highly backward section of Calcutta until his death in 1968. Mandal tried to revive his political life by repairing his Congress connections, running elections in North Calcutta in 1952 and 1957, a Dalit reserved constituency, but lost both times. He died in 1968 from a heart attack while he was crossing a river by a boat. The reason for his death is still uncertain since no post-mortem was carried out.

1902, Ayodhya
➖➖➖➖➖
A British officer named only as 'Edward' does a survey of all 148 Teertha Sthalams of Ayodhya based on the Skanda Puranam. He notifies his survey by erecting Stone Boards (Pillar) with numbers in each of the Teertha Sthalams.
“Penalty of Rs 3000 and 3 years of jail if anyone removes these pillars”.
After 117 years these Pillars would play an important role in India's history.
2005, Lucknow
➖➖➖➖➖
Lawyer P.N.Mishra was going by car from Lucknow to Calcutta along with with Swami Avimuktheswarnanda. He loses his way and ends up reaching Ayodhya.
In Ayodhya, he meets a Sadhu and during the course of general conversation, he asks how many Teertha Sthalams are there in Ayodhya.
The Sadhu replies - there are 148 Teertha Sthalam in Ayodhya.
P.N.Mishra asks the Sadhu how he knows exact numbers. The Sadhu tells him that in 1902 a Britisher named Edward erected pillars on all these 148 places. Then the Sadhu goes on to explain how in 1980, a historian named Hans Bakker came to Ayodhya, did a survey, wrote a book about the city, and created 5 maps of Ayodhya.
Surprised P.N.Mishra asks him to show those stone boards (pillars) erected by Edward. There, he sees an interesting stoneboard -
Pillar #100.
Pillars #100 was located in a 8 feet deep well along with an idol of Lord Ganesha.
After seeing the pillars, P.N.Mishra leaves for Calcutta.
2019, Supreme Court of India
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Proceedings of Ram Janmabhoomi lawsuit is going on. Hindus are facing a tough time to prove the exact location of the birthplace of Bhagwan Ram.
The ASI report proved that there was a temple dating back to the 12th century under the Babri Mosque, but the report failed to prove that it was the exact birthplace of Bhagwan Ram.
The CJI (Chief Justice of India) asks “Do you have any evidence to prove the exact location of the birthplace of Ram?".
P.N.Mishra, who is the lawyer from Sant Samaj replies - “Yes, the evidence is available in the Skanda Puranam."
The Skanda Puranam is an ancient Hindu scripture. It is the ancient document that maps all the important places of Hindu pilgrimage. It has geological locations of all Hindu Teertha Sthalams.
The exact location of the birthplace of Bhagwan Ram is mentioned in the Vaishnav Khand / Ayodhya Mahatamya.
It says “To the West of the Sarayu river, there is Vighneshwar, in North East of this spot is the exact place of birth of Bhagwan Ram - it is located East of Vigneshwar, North of Vasistha and West of Laumasa”.
CJI: “We cannot understand the language used in the Skanda Puranam. Do you have any map that we can understand?”
P.N.Mishra: “Yes. There is a book by historian Hans Bakker which has maps that were created on the basis of the Edward stoneboards (pillars), which in turn were placed on the basis of the Skanda Puranam.”
CJI asked P.N.Mishra to submit the book with maps immediately.
This new evidence creates an absolute sensation in court.
● Skanda Puranam mentions the exact location of the birthplace.
● Edward erected 148 stoneboards on the basis of Skanda Puranam.
● Hans Bakker prepared map on the basis of those 148 stoneboards.
So it was complete correlation. But there was a problem...
If we go by the Skanda Puranam, it says that the exact birth place of Bhagwan Ram is North East of Vignesh. But the map by Hans Bakker did not mark it very clearly. So, by that map, the location of Bhagwan Ram's birthplace was not matching exactly.
And then comes the entry of the star witness of the case - Shankaracharya Avimukterwarnanda.
P.N.Mishra called the Shankaracharya and asked to resolve this mystery.
The Shankaracharya visited Ayodhya and solved the mystery.
Avimuktheswarnanda was witness number DW 20/02. He informed the Supreme Court that the 'Vignesh' mentioned in the Skanda Puranam is not the Vigneshwar temple shown in Hans Bakker's map.
Rather, Vignesh is Pillar #100 where an idol of Lord Ganesha (also known as Vignesh) is located inside a well.
When we take Pillar #100 as Vignesh, the mystery gets resolved.
North East of Pillar #100 is the exact same location where Hindus claims Bhagwan Ram was born; and that location satisfies all other identification criteria as well.
Justice Chandrachud smiled and said - “These guys just proved it, they have done it”.
The testimony of Avimukteshwarananda changed the case and the Muslim side knew that they have lost the case. The only way to save their case was to prove the Shankaracharya’s testimony as wrong.
The Muslim side asks for permission to cross examine the Shankaracharya.
15 lawyers from the Muslim side do the cross examination of Avimukteswarananda for the next 10 days. The Shankaracharya gives brilliant replies to all their questions while all the 5 judges kept listening to him.
After 10 days, the Muslim side finally surrenders.
Thus, on the basis of the Skanda Puranam, Edward’s Stoneboard Pillars, the Hans Bakker map and Swami Avimukteshwarnanda's testimony, the Supreme court gives a judgement in favour of Hindus!
We Hindus think that we got Ram temple only due to K.K.Muhammad’s ASI report. While the ASI report played an important part, the actual turning point in the case came from our beloved ancient book – the Skanda Puranam - and our religious Gurus who studied these books and decoded them.
The name “Skanda Puranam” is mentioned 77 times in the Supreme Court judgement.
Hindu were losing the case in court till 2009. Then, lawyer P.N.Mishra was appointed by the Shankaracharya in 2009.

P.N.Mishra said that if he had not lost his way in 2005 to Ayodhya, and had not met that Sadhu, he could have never proved the birthplace of Bhagwan Ram in court.
