 ==Incident==
-A newspaper report puts the date of the incident as 17 March 1970. The Sain brothers were members of a family with strong allegiance towards the [[Indian National Congress]]. Naba Kumar Sain — the eldest son of the family — had his eyes gouged out while his brothers, Malay and Pranab, were hacked to death in front of the watching family members. Naba Kumar was killed a year later. The entire incident was allegedly done by CPM members, because of family's support towards the Indian National Congress.

-A private tutor, Jitendranath Rai, who had come to teach the kids in the family was hacked to death as well. Later, the mother of the Sain brothers was forced to eat rice smeared with the blood of her sons.
+Swarnalata Josh, the daughter of the Sain family, also witnessed the atrocities of that day. The attack took place on the day of Swarnalata's one-month-old son Amrit Kumar Josh's [[Shashthi#Worship|Shashthi ritual]]. The frantic attackers of the CPI(M) also wanted to throw the newborn baby into the fire. Later, with the help of the locals, the newborn was saved.
-One of the daughter-in-laws of the family, Rekha Rani, now around 75 years old, recounted the horrors of the incident in an interview with Indian Express. She said, “My brothers-in-laws Pranab Kumar Sain and Malay Kumar Sain and Jitendranath Rai, a private tutor who had come to teach the kids, were hacked in front of my eyes. I was 26. It all began at 7.30 am… people stared pelting stones on our house. Later, they set it on fire.”
+The newborn of that day, now 51-year-old, Amrit Kumar Josh said in a 2011 interview with India's leading daily [[The Times of India]]:
-“My mother-in-law, Mrignayana Devi, tried to stop the attackers but she was hit on her head. Two attackers mixed Pranab and Malay’s blood with rice and forced it into her mouth… She was taken to the hospital… she survived,” she added.

 ==Aftermath==
 Not many people are aware of the Sainbari incident. Even those who are only remember the horror of a mother who was forced to eat rice smeared with the blood of her dead sons. The atrocity in itself was so huge that it eclipsed other acts of monstrosity that occurred on the 17th of March, 1970.
