Thanks Mr. Aslam.
You have explained very nicely.
I would request you also to read the articles of Mr. Abdul Gaffar Choudhury, written on some reply to some historical criticism and some unknown events on BAKSAL (in about 15 episodes) in the Daily Bhorer Kagoj during 2004-2005
You can also read some very good publication made by the central committee 'Bangabandhu Parishad' at Dhaka , since formation of 'Bangabandhu Parishad' by Bose Professor Dr. Matin Choudhury to now.
Actually all the political scientist/analysts recognise that BAKSAL was the temporary arrangement to recover from the worst socio-political-economic solution situation prevailing after massive LOOT PAT & destruction by Paki during the liberation war of 1971 and after 16th December 1971 by the defeated enemy of Bangladesh ('Muslim Bangla', different SORBOHARA groups & some extent by JSD) and Jamat-Razakar-Paki minded overt & covert supporters-businessman-civil & Army bureaucrats.
I can cite one example, how Paki-Jamat minded officials were still active (in veil) in the administration of newly independent Bangladesh
Please read the nice input of Mr. Shafiqur Rahman Anu, who correctly said,
"the BAKSAL programme of Bangabandhu is the best programme to develop Bangladesh
To successfully perform a complicated, modern & best medical operation - it needs the best, modern and expert surgeon.
Experienced & best teacher are need for outstanding results of common students
Similarly to implement the best political programme, BAKSAL, for the total development of Bangladesh Bangladesh Bangladesh
That is why enemy & conspirator of 'developed Bangladesh Bangladesh
Vey correct.

Mr. Shah Abdul HannanSo you had a choice and you didn't join BAKSAL.In essence, you have agreed that joining BAKSAL was notcompulsory for the government employees, en mass.General Zia had the same choice, but he promptly acceptedthe invitation and joined BAKSAL: Perhaps, to prove his(fake) loyalty to Mujib and thus get a quick promotion ....(sheeropportunism !) .......where was his moral high ground at that time!I am neither a supporter nor a opponent of BAKSAL or Awami League.My information on BAKSAL is only through secondary sources.No one denies the fact that BAKSAL was based on Communistmodel and was authoritarian in nature. [The social costs andbenefits (if any) of authoritarianism and regimentation isdebatable and can be discussed in a different thread].As far as I have understood by studying the history of Bangladesh,the BAKSAL system was an experiment with socialism as its mainobjective. May be, it was utopian in the socio- political context of thethen Bangladesh .But, it remains little puzzling to me as to what would have preventedthe rise of crony capitalism and the rise of a parasitic compadore classesin Bangladesh . Ms Dina Khan and Mr. Adikhari's writings on the matterhas some valid points.Please tell me what the masses of Bangladesh got in 31 yearsby choosing the path chartered by the people who overthrewBAKSAL. Even, to Hasina, the daughter of Mujib the veryname BAKSAL was an anathema.I differ with your contention that who joined BAKSALand who didn't is not important.You as a political activist may conveniently think so. Just like yourparty Jamaat thinks that who joined Muktijuddho and who opposedit is not important. [Recall your now hidden, now open connectionwith Jamaat-e-Islami of Bangladesh and your Islami Chttro Sangha(Shibir) days ].But, for us, the silent onlookers of our contemporaryhistory, every actons of the main players in the different phasesof our history important. We need that in order to understandthe historical processes through which we are passing.BTW, I have been told by one researcher in Bangladesh Studiesthat Bangladesh Observer published a list of government officialswho responded to the invitation letter for joining BAKSAL on orabout 25th of July 1975. The complete list at that time onlyconsisted only 57 names [Military & Civil Service officials]. Theback-issues of Bangladesh Observer is available in Microfiche atWidener Library of Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA.RegardsSyed Aslam

Mr. Shah Abdul HannanCan you show us some documentary evidence to prove that every government employees were required to become member of the then single party BAKSAL?So far I understand: before BAKSAL ammendment [Fourth Amendment to the constitution of Bangladesh.] state employees were not permitted to member of any political party. Under the Fourth Amendment (Article 117A), the government employees were allowed to join the political party BAKSAL.. But it was not compulsory for every government servants to join BAKSAL.Only a handful of opportunist, career seekers and sychophants, amongst the government officials, joined BAKSAL voluntarily during the two and half monthsof BAKSAL's life-span. That includes General Ziaur Rahman.Stounchly anti-Mujib, self-proclaimed Baksaler Zom Mr. Mohiuddin Anwar, himself has admitted this in many of his postings in Vinnomot, Mukto-Mona andKhabor. The most recent one can be seen in:By the way, I far as I have read from you postings in differentYahoo Group messages, you were a Government Officer in 1975. Just be honest and tell us if you had joined BAKSAL? If so, how and when did you join? Was there an application form? Have you taken any oath while joining? [Like you did when you joined Islami Chattro Shangha, the predecessor of Sibir] .Tell us the details of the processes through which the employees of the Bangladesh Government became BAKSAL members in 1975.It is very important to know the camillions who jumped into theband-wagon of BAKSAL and quickly chaged their colors soon after it's collaspe.An honest answer would be your real contribution to study of current events and contemporary history! So, please don't evade the question and justify that as a taqia as many Jamatis do.RegardsSyed AslamOn 9/12/07, S A Hannan <sahannan@sonarbangladesh.com > wrote:Dear members,Assalamu Alaikum.It is not very important who was member of BAKSAL or not because, the authorities saw to it that every government officer becomes member of the then single party .It was difficult at that dictatorial time to refuse to become member of that party.Shah Abdul Hannan----- Original Message -----From: parvez_imhkSent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 7:30 PMSubject: [khabor.com] Re: General Zia's joined BAKSAL voluntarilyn - Attention Mr. Mohiuddin Anwer

Why unnecessarily engage in such nonsense? There is no heaven
cracking knowledge base or complexity involved in Bakshal - the most
nasty and notorious chapter in the history of the nation.
Now my question is back again: Is there any credible documentation
to suggest that ZIA was a member of Bakshal? To my knowledge, it is
an outright NO. You can produce some credible documents if you
think I am wrong.

This is nothing more than hand waving.
Quote me any credible evidence before I buy your theory. I did not
see any evidence anywhere to suggest that Ziaur Rahman was a memebr
of Bakshal. By all evidence, Ziaur Rahman was not a member of
BAKSHAL and you are engaged in fallacy, falsehood and propaganda.
Geneal Shafiullah was a memebr of Bakshal but that was as Chief of
Staff and not in a personal capacity. The then BAKSHAL regime made
it mandatory for chiefs of the of the armed forces to join BAKSHAL.

This is incredible. A mlitary officer asking political authority to
join a political movement! This will beat even funny fairy tales!!
For argument's sake -even if it is true- couldn't the Awami
politicians commit suicide before they got their politial directive
from a military officer?
Even if he did, that does not automatically mean that he was a
member of BAKSHAL as such.
> So, think before ink!
You caused me to think enough...
Show me evidence and I will buy your theory. Otherwise it is
falsehood and fabrication.
