• Stranded_Pakistanis abstract "Stranded Pakistanis (Urdu: پھنسے ہوئے پاکستانی‎, Bengali: উদ্বাস্তু পাকিস্তানী), refers to several groups of people. First among them is "Biharis". Although most of this population belonged to State of Bihar in India there are many from other Indian states such as U.P. (United Provinces or later Utter Pardesh). There are still others who had settled in what is now known as Bangladesh in late 19th century. The second term of reference for this group coined by themselves after creation of Bangladesh is "Stranded Pakistanis". In Urdu media in Pakistan and elsewhere this was translated as "Mehsooreen" or the "Beseiged". Since they could not avail themselves of neither Pakistani nor Bangladeshi citizenship from 1971 to 2008 their legal status was "Stateless People". A unique identifying characteristic of this group is the language they speak which is "Urdu", hence the term "Urdu-speaking for them. Another common term is "Non-Bengalis" this includes not only the Urdu-speaking but also Punjabis, Pathans and Baloch living in Bangladesh. Henceforth any of the above terms may be used to identify this group depending on the context and history.Before creation of Pakistan there was extensive violence between three religious groups Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. In November 1946 there were riots in Bihar where 30,000 Muslims were killed. These riots concerned the foremost leader of Indian independence movement Mohandas Gandhi so much that he was prepared to fast unto death if Hindus did not cease violence against the Muslims. (Nov 8, 1946, Oakland Tribune). Victims of violence of Bihar were for a time sheltered in West Bengal and later migrated to "East Pakistan". The Indian Muslim leader Quaid e Azam was well aware of the sacrifices of Bihari Muslims and acknowledged it in a statement "I am really proud of the Bihar Moslems who sacrificed so much. Their sacrifices will not go in vain. They have brought the Pakistan goal nearer and have shown readiness to make any sacrifice for its attainment. M A. Jinnah (AP News, Feb 24, 1947) Mr. Jinnah urged educated and skilled Bihari Muslims, especially railway workers to relocate to East Pakistan and assist in the construction and running of the new country. (Collected Speeches of Quaid e Azam, Ministry of Information, Govt. of Pakistan, Islamabad.) The Urdu-speaking in Bangladesh arrived in several waves. Immediately after creation of Pakistan there were no restrictions on movement of population across the Indo-Pakistan border for several years. Persons who remained in Pakistan (East or West) of their own free will or moved to these territories Not sharing the ethno-linguistic heritage of the Bengali people, who formed an overwhelming majority in the eastern wing, they opposed its agitation for independence from Pakistan. They opposed Bangladesh Liberation War, and their support for the Pakistani army and participation in pro-Pakistani militias, such as the Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Shams, led to considerable hostility and retaliation from the Bengalis, and became stranded after the independence of Bangladesh and were relocated to refugee camps, where their descendants have been born. They have since appealed the Pakistani government for the right to settle in Pakistan. Their petition has only met with marginal support from the Pakistani authorities, who have allowed only a small number of the "Stranded Pakistanis" to settle in Pakistan.In 2003 a Bangladesh high court ruled that 10 Biharis were entitled to citizenship and voting rights. In 2008 the High Court in Dhaka ruled that 150,000 Biharis, who were minors at the time of the war, could be given citizenship in Bangladesh and voting rights. This is also to be extended to those Bihari born since the war, giving them a path to citizenship rights in Bangladesh at last.".
