Bipul Deb Biswas was born on 21 September 1954. His narrative primarily focused on the two wars he witnessed between India and Pakistan in 1965 and 1971. In 1965, he was in class IV when the war broke out. One of the teachers in his school had a radio. The entire community heard the news of the war through the sole radio in the village. The memories of the war in 1971, however, had left an indelible impression on him. When he rode his bike to school, he encountered shelling from across the borders. His school, too, was bombed. He distinctly remembered the name of the peon – Premananda Debnath – who died during the shelling of his school. The Pakistani artillery shelled the hospital in Kamalpur. 

As refugees from East Pakistan took shelter in Tripura, a camp was formed to give them food and succour. Bipul Deb Biswas narrated that the refugees often sold the rations they received from the government to the people of Kamalpur. It helped the refugees earn a bit of money. He had a chance to talk to some of those refugees. They reported tales of brutal suffering at the hands of the Pakistani army. Over a period of time, many of them settled in areas adjoining Bipul Deb Biswas’ locality. Only a few of them moved back to newly liberated Bangladesh. He held the view that those who stayed back had been absorbed as ‘locals’; they were granted citizenship and had built their own residential houses in Kamalpur. 

When asked to shed more light on how his family survived the bombing, he said that shelling mainly happened at night or early morning. In most cases, he stayed at bunkers constructed by the Indian army at his home. Later, they left their house with all their cattle and moved to Amabassa. On returning, he found that one of the rooms had been destroyed. The government offered his family compensation of one thousand rupees. After the war, the President of Bangladesh visited his locality.
