Nanoor massacre refers to the massacre of 11 landless labourers allegedly by CPI(M) activists in Suchpur, near Nanoor and under Nanoor police station, in Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal, on 27 July 2000. ==Background== Nanoor is located in the south-eastern corner of the district which is an alluvial plain between Ajay River and Mayurakshi River. It has hot and dry summers, spread over March – May, followed by the monsoon from June to September. 78 per cent of the rainfall occurs during this period.〔Choudhuri, Tapan, ''Unnayaner Alokey Birbhum'', ''Paschim Banga '', Birbhum Special Issue, February 2006, , pp. 60-61, Information & Cultural Department, Government of West Bengal.〕 As per historical records there have been at least 13 intensive droughts between the years 1799 and 1855. The drought of 1836-37 was particularly severe.〔Gupta, Dr. Ranjan Kumar, ''The Economic Life of a Bengal District: Birbhum 1770 – 1857'', p. 114, The University of Burdwan, 1984.〕 Floods also wreak havoc. Some 7,000 mud houses either collapsed or remained in bad shape in Nanoor and three other blocks, affecting around 15,000 villagers in 2004. Nanoor Block covering 24 villages, is economically backward. It has many artisan families who live below the poverty line. A large section of the population is either Muslim or belong to the Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Although the population is talented they hardly had an opportunity to earn a decent living. Nanoor was described by ''The Statesman'' in 2003 as "the most politically disturbed area in Birbhum district".〔 〕 With acute poverty it has been a disturbed area for ages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nanoor massacre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
