About this person
Jogendra Nath Mandal, sometimes written Jogendranath Mandal, was a Bengali politician and Dalit leader who emerged as a prominent figure among the architects of Indian history. Within the 1946-1947 Interim Government of India, he held the portfolio of law. Distinguished as a leader representing the Scheduled Castes, Mandal vehemently opposed the 1947 partition of Bengal. His rationale rested on the apprehension that a divided Bengal would subject 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 the role of Minister of Law and Labour in Pakistan. 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 a perceived anti-Hindu bias within the Pakistani administration.
