[chottala.com] FOOD FOR THOUGHT - INDISCRIMINATE LABELLING

Hi everybody,

Still awaiting to rise from my unconsciousness, no clarification came from any end ( especially from  Engr Anu)  and now observe another copycat in the name of Arif Ahamed surfaced.

I salute and admire Engr Anu for his integrity. A man is a true man when stands steadfast in his / her views and beliefs. The way he defended now defunct BAKSHAL truly shows his belief in fascism / autocracy and the culture "My people, my country" ( Mujibbad) and indeed he is a bold man to declare such in this hype market of democracy. Even the pole bearers of his beloved party discarded BAKSHALISM but he wants to be the true torch bearer ( Good luck Sir).


I would polite ask Engr Anu and his peers not to label others / us as Jamat / Razakar / Anti Bangladeshi when others / we don't dance with your tunes. Not believing in dogma of AL is not necessarily equate to anti Bangladesh  / Jamat or Razakar. Life / politics / social interaction is not always black and white its indeed gray at times.

To Engr Anu:

Your stats on New Zealand is somehow irrelevant in the context of Bangladesh (Socio Economic situation is not even remotely same) Quoting you -

Number of daily newspaper is not the measure stick or the quantity of democracy - Unquote. You are absolutely right here. One can country can have hundreds of propaganda / mouthpiece newspaper for the fascist regime  and merely one independent voice ( newspaper) may be sufficient for promulgating democracy. The point is however here is the banning, suspending my right of printing / writing / and publishing which is simply barbaric and undemocratic.

I am really confused by the nature of your posting at times its diabolic ( apology ). Your posting at times reflects you are the champion of democracy at times autocratic. You seem very patriotic and concerned about the country but you have a adopted country now ( like Gaffar Chowdhury - your elitist writer and columnist). You have studied in the most prestigious institute in Bangladesh ( Govt subsidized which means on tax payer money) but in return you are serving in your adopted country ( am not sure about your nature of migration whether you are economic / political / migrant or refugee / asylum seeker).

However am still interested in your research on Zia's misdeeds and his damages to Bangladesh ( especially Bangalee)

Here are some foods for thought for you - may come handy in your research

 - All bangalees are not Bangladeshi and likewise all Bangladeshi's are not Bangalee

OPEN QUESTION TO ALL

Why we do not see any protest from so called intellectuals regarding the misdeeds of India against Bangladesh?
such as:
Printing counterfeit currencies ( with same number) just after liberation.
Supply of Phensydyl from India. All Indian Phensydyl are caught in Bangladesh territory nothing in India. BSF is so strong that they can shoot an innocent cow grazer but cannot stop Phensydyl smuggling.
Banning of Bangladeshi TV Channels in India.
Why AL sympathizer's always react to  anything against India but label the accuser as Razakar and Pro Paki
Is this geographically possible for Pakistan to invade and again occupy Bangladesh?
Which country has most potential to colonize ( economically / culturally or politically) Bangladesh?
When we all Bangladeshi ( sorry should have said citizen of Bangladesh) will understand that we need an unquestioned / non-contested identity to establish ourselves.

We talk about empowerment ( women empowerment, empowerment for poor people to eradicate poverty) but I believe nation as a whole needs empowerment.

Apologise for my lengthy mail and to all if it hurts ( nothing personal please)

Bye
