Timeline

1904

Jogendranath Mandal (Bengali: যোগেন্দ্রনাথ মন্ডল; 29 January 1904 – 5 October 1968), or J.N. Mandal, emerged as a prominent figure among the architects of the nascent state of Pakistan.

He served as the inaugural Minister of Law and Labour, as well as the subsequent Minister of Commonwealth and Kashmir Affairs.

Within the Interim Government of India, he had previously held the portfolio of law.

Jogendranath Mandal, born in the Barisal district within the erstwhile Bengal Presidency of British India (later known as East Bengal, East Pakistan, and presently Bangladesh) on 29 January 1904, hailed from the Namasudra Community.

Demonstrating academic prowess from an early age, Mandal excelled in his studies, achieving First Class distinctions in his preliminary education.

1929

Subsequently, upon graduating in 1929, he pursued legal studies, culminating in the completion of his law degree in 1934.

However, Mandal made a deliberate choice not to embark upon a legal career or conventional employment.

Instead, motivated by a profound commitment to confront the inequities ingrained in the societal framework that had previously marginalized his community, he opted to dedicate his entire life to the amelioration of the oppressed and societal enhancement.

1937

Jogendranath Mandal embarked upon his political journey as an independent candidate during the 1937 Indian provincial assembly elections.

He contested the Bakharganj North East Rural constituency in the Bengal legislative assembly, securing victory over Saral Kumar Dutta, the president of the district committee of the Indian National Congress (INC) and nephew of Swadeshi leader Ashwini Kumar Dutta.

During this period, Mandal found inspiration in figures such as Subhas Chandra Bose and Sarat Chandra Bose.

1940

Following Subhas Chandra Bose's expulsion from the INC in 1940, Mandal aligned himself with the Muslim League (ML), the only other prominent national party at the time.

Subsequently, he assumed a ministerial role in the cabinet of ML chief minister Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy.

Mandal collaborated with Ambedkar in establishing the Bengal branch of the Scheduled Castes Federation.

This organization aspired to wield political influence.

1946

Mandal played a pivotal role in securing Ambedkar's election to the Constituent Assembly from Bengal in 1946 when Ambedkar faced challenges in securing a seat from Bombay.

Mandal significantly contributed to the framing of the Constitution of India, with Ambedkar seeking his counsel through correspondence.

Amidst the political landscape where the Hindu Mahasabha sought to court the Namasudra community, and the province was marked by the dominance of oppressed Dalit and Muslim populations, Mandal discerned a distinction between communal affairs and political conflicts involving the INC and ML. In the midst of the 1946 riots, he traversed East Bengal, advocating for non-participation of Dalit people in violence against Muslims.

Mandal argued that Muslims, like Dalits, were oppressed by upper-caste Hindus, and he believed that aligning with Muslims would be more beneficial for the Dalits than associating with high-caste Hindus.

Consequently, he lent his support to the ML.

Upon the Muslim League's integration into the Interim Government of India in October 1946, Jinnah nominated Mandal as one of the League's five representatives.

Subsequently appointed by King George VI, Mandal assumed the law portfolio within the body.

Jogendranath Mandal emerged as one of the 96 founding figures of Pakistan, aligning himself with the Muslim League (ML).

1947

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 render Dalits vulnerable to the predominant Muslim majority in East Bengal (Pakistan) and subject them 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.

However, a few years subsequent to the partition, he relocated to India, tendering his resignation to Liaquat Ali Khan, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, citing the perceived anti-Dalit bias within the Pakistani administration.

During their inaugural session, which transpired shortly before the partition of India on 15 August 1947, he was elected as their interim chairman.

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 as Pakistan's inaugural Minister for Law and Labour.

Regrettably, Mandal's tenure in this esteemed position was truncated due to persistent subjugation within a bureaucracy dominated by the Muslim majority.

1948

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.

1950

In 1950, Jogendranath Mandal found himself compelled to repatriate to India.

It is commonly assumed it is because of a decision precipitated by an outstanding arrest warrant against him in Pakistan.

However, it was because his only son Jagadishchandra Mandal, who was studying in Kolkata at the time, had fallen sick and he had comeback to attend him.

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.
