[chottala.com] Lessons to learn from Thai army’s admitted misadventure...ctg then

Wearing of black jawahar coat should not remain the monoploly of the
BAL members but it should become the uniform of all politicians. But
as long as we have BAL active in the politics of Bangladesh jalao,
porao, gari bhangchur, hartal , aborordh will remain the order of the
day. Because BAL thinks that these are their inalieble political
rights and by doing these they are only proving that they are an
active democratic political party. MAY ALLAH HELP THE POOR PEOPLE OF
THIS GODFORESAKEN COUNTRY.
Salahuddin Ayubi

> It is hardly surprising that the military council, which ousted
former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006 in a coup,
accusing him of corruption and irreverence towards the Thai monarchy,
and governed the country for the past two years, has proved entirely
inept at running state affairs. So much so, in fact, that the council
has promised that `there will be no more coups,' as a Thaksin-backed
political party prepares to assume office after the country's recent
elections, according to a report published in New Age on Wednesday.
What is surprising, however, is that the Thai military has acquired
the wisdom to recognise that `the military should not be involved in
politics' as the council's spokesperson told reporters on Tuesday.
> The Council for National Security has been widely derided in
Thailand over the past two years for its inability to handle the
country's economic and social issues. Even though the council accused
Thaksin of rampant corruption, they have so far only been able to
prove one of the cases against him in court, and have had his Thai
Rak Thai (Thais Love Thais) political party's senior leadership
disbanded and banned from political activity for five years. Thaksin
himself is living in exile, facing imprisonment if he returns to
Thailand, but this has not decimated his popularity in predominantly
rural Thailand. Thaksin supporters and activists joined the almost
defunct PPP en masse and, on a pro-Thaksin platform, have fallen just
short of gaining an overall parliamentary majority in the recent
elections. While Thaksin's regime is widely accused of corruption,
his tenure as prime minister also saw unprecedented economic
prosperity in rural Thailand.
> There are important lessons to be learnt from these
international experiences with military interventions into the
polity, especially in South Asia, and specifically in Bangladesh. The
concept of political and socio-economic reforms imposed in a top-down
method, while undoubtedly tempting, is also heavily weighed down by
historical proof of its utter lack of success. In Nepal, the
frustration and animosity that ordinary Nepalis felt towards corrupt
political parties ultimately led to their popular support for a state
of emergency which made way for King Gyanendra's dictatorial rule in
2005. That violent and autocratic regime ultimately had to be toppled
by a popular uprising in the spring of 2006. In Pakistan, popular
support for General Musharraf's 1999 coup has not only led to his
destructive and polarising autocracy, it has paved the way for the
largest contingent of radical Islamist parties in the Pakistani
parliament. As lessons may be learnt from the processes
> through which such top-down reforms are instituted, so lessons
should be learnt from the outcomes of such attempts.
