[chottala.com] Army Backed Govt: The LOSER by Akhter Hossain

Army Backed Govt: The LOSER

Akhter Hossain

Published on January 23, 2008

 

You already know, in the mean time, that Anwar sir was found innocent in one case. The next day, in a similar charge, another judge found (or forced to prove) him guilty! Ridiculous! It was very much expected that the 2nd judgment would follow the first one. Unfortunately, it did not happen!! People think that the whole drama was pre-arranged. Despite our teachers declared before that they won't beg any apology for what they have done, a 'mercy petition' was signed by the President immediately after the verdict. It has been reported in today's news papers that the 'mercy application' was ready before the verdict was delivered. After their 'Game' is over, they have withdrawn 10 cases against the students and released the teachers immediately. So we now know what Govt was waiting for!! They dared to undermine the honor of the teachers and students. They were, indeed, committed to do so! They are apparently winner (or semi-winner?)! But History will brand them LOSER one day!! History repeats! Unfortunately "Hatu Bahini/Jalpai Bahini" will never learn from it.

However, we feel proud to be a part of the campaign against the illegal arrest and brutal torture by Army Junta on our teachers and students. The DU teachers and students did a fantastic job by driving a peacefull movement against the arresst of their teachers and students.

We are very glad that Anwar sir is back among us. We hope he will play a vital role in building an 'educated nation' in the future. Our expectation from him now is much more than anytime before!

Anwar Sir, we all are proud of you.

At the end, I must thank all of you, Mukto-mona editorial board, the writers and the readers for your continuous support to help release of all our beloved teachers and students from the army prison. I specially want to thank Prof Ajay roy and Avijit Da for your wonderful articles/writings. You (Mukto-Mona) did a fantastic job by gathering intellectual support and pressure from all over the world that undoubtedly accelerated the release of our beloved teachers and students.

LONG LIVE MUKTO-MONA!

 


Akhter Hossain, a former student of Prof Anwar Hossain writes in Mukto-Mona from Melbourne,  Australia.

[chottala.com] Bangladesh Govt plans curbs on indigenous people’s rights

May I be enlightened by you as to who are you trying
to refer as indegenous people in Bangladesh. I thought
that we Bengalis are the indegenous people of
Bangladesh. Correct me if I am wrong.

[chottala.com] Re: Bangladesh Govt plans curbs on indigenous people’s rights

Dear Mr. Aslam,
Will you please explain to us as to what exactly do you
mean by indegenous people. I feel that we Bengalis are the indegenous
people of Bangladesh as Bengalis have been living in this part of
the world for over five thousand years. People you are trying to
refer as indegenous people have been living here for far less than
one thousand years. These small ethnic monorities have emigrated to
the hill districts of Bangladesh nearly 500 to 600 years ago. Please
explain why should you call them indegenous people.

[chottala.com] BREAKING NEWS :Azam J Chowdhury says he didn't sue Hasina

Dear Mr. Chowdhury,
As a business man he has to tread carefully as he has
to do business with these very people around. He said it now because
he felt that it is the appropriate time for it. Had he said it
earlier do you think that the outcome of the case would have been any
different except that Ajam Chowdhury had to go thrugh the harassments
by the authorities. In business no body can claim that he is 100%
clean. So finding another case against Mr. Chwdhury would not have
been difficult for the authorities. He as a businessman had to keep
his back side clear first. There is nothing to get exited about it.

[chottala.com] A Few Good People

Dear brothers and sisters,
 
There is no denying the fact that we all are living in a very unsafe society.  We often fall prey to different evil actions performed by some of our fellow society-members.  It's very unfortunate that we mostly fail to seek and receive proper protection from the appropriate authorities responsible to provide them to all citizens.  We always hope and pray that things would get better and we would live peacefully in our societies.  Such a situation seems, to many of us, unachievable in a foreseeable future.  What we can do in this state of affairs?  Can we think of a shield that we may build around us with a view to securing ourselves and our properties?
 
Here I am making a suggestion that I urge upon you all to give a look and let me know if you have any comment/suggestion on it.  I am proposing this basing on a recent mail sent by one of our group members, Mr. Helal who lives in Toronto.  He made a point that we may not run after or waste our energy on unnecessary matters and try to help our society (and ourselves) as much as it is possible for us through some positive actions.  I am just proposing an idea that could (possibly) solve some of our problems in our day to day life.  This is a draft proposal (or project) that I have suggested the title "A few good people."  May I request you all to give it a glance and give me a kind feedback please!
 
A Few Good People
 
In our entire history Bangalee as a people, race or nation have been independent only twice; first, in the seventh century under the rule of Shashaka (600 – 625 AD) and second, now after 1971.  From the history we can learn that the first period, though short lived, was quite glorious.  But, the second period, that has already crossed the tenure of the first one, can not, at any rate, be called a glorious one.
 
Our people, in general, are very nice-behaving and peace-loving.  When you go to an unknown place and meet people whom you have never met before and seek help you are sure to find a host of people highly eager to come forward to assist you.  If you have a broken-down car there would gather dozens of people ready to push it for miles or for any other assistance you may need.  This is just one side of the story.  It may not surprise you finding people looting a bus that has just faced an accident instead of taking care of the injured.  We are, indeed, a very unpredictable people on earth who may not behave very rationally at each event.
 
Whenever we are asked "how are you?" we generally reply "fine."  Are we really fine?  The aspect, undoubtedly, is relative.  Let me explain it little further.  Leaving aside some exceptions, if I am a successful businessman I may not have any problem in facing my financial needs.  If I am a lawyer or a police person or, may be, a person from any uniform, I may be quite confident to confront any legal problem that may arise.  If I am a doctor my healthcare may be ensured.  If I am a university teacher my children are likely to have no big trouble for their higher education, so and so forth.  But, a doctor may have problems in legal matters.  For example, if he needs to buy a piece of land he might face problems with out consulting an expert in that field.  There are even more serious problems.  When the doctor had consulted a broker for the land purchase he may, at a later stage, find that the broker has been looking after the interest of the land seller instead of his.  Next, the doctor goes to police or a lawyer to address the mater.  Here too he has reasons to be apprehensive.  The problems we face don't end rather at times they give rise to chain problems.
 
I would like to propose, let us make a group of people that we may name "A few good people."  As we start forming this group there would be members from various communities.  There would be some teachers, some lawyers, some students, some doctors, some businesspersons (from various types of businesses), some members from police or armed forces or other law-enforcing agencies, some intellectuals, some income-tax or custom officials, some journalists, some media persons, human-rights specialists/activists, persons from cultural domain and many other fields.
 
What would be the purpose of the group?  First, we may seek advice from the members dealing with a particular area, like law and order or healthcare etc.  We would provide advices on the net or through other means.  If we need consultancy or even physical help we may provide that.
 
We may not expect that the help would always be voluntary and free of cost.  Professionals may expect reasonable fees for providing such service.  The mission of this group would be to "Assist fellow members with honesty and sincerity maintaining ethics."
 
Why ethics!  It has frequently been observed that many a time we go out of the way and try to rescue a relative or friend.  This may cause serious damage or injustice to the counterpart.  For example, helping a person in legal matters who might have committed a heinous crime could seriously damage the objective of the project.
 
The first and foremost step of this project would be to assemble persons who would be honour-bound to remain in the path of true ethics and morality.  We would not cause any trouble for anyone else nor would like to be a victim of such actions by anyone in the society.
 
A few examples of assistance that may be sought from a fellow member (friend):
 
1.                  My son who is studying in Australia is coming back home in a flight that would reach ZIA at 0330 hours this morning.  I live in Ranpur and would not be able to reach the airport for some unavoidable reasons.  I would expect Mr. Hassan, who lives in Uttara to kindly receive my son and lodge him upto 1000 hours at his residence when I shall be able to reach and collect my son.  Why would I need this help?  Had it been anywhere other than Bangladesh my son could have taken a yellow-cab and reached a relatives house (who doesn't own a car) or even could start for Rangpur hiring a microbus.  In Bangladesh, unfortunately, there are more likelihood that he could be robed or there could be a life-threat in case of such an adventure (or misadventure).
 
2.                  One of my young relatives, who I personally know, has gone to Dhaka for attending an interview for a job.  He was taken by police at Kallyanpur as a result of a mass-arrest (gono-greptar).  I may request Additional SP Mr. Moazzem Hossain to try to arrange his release so that he could attend the interview as per schedule and come back home as planned.  We all know such or similar cases can happen in our country anytime.  One thing I must ensure that I would certainly certify the young-man to be a clean person who could not involve himself in such case that could be proved and embarrass Mr. Hossain at a later stage.
 
3.                  I live in Muktagachha.  My daughter is a student in Dhaka University who resides in one of the residential hostels.  The University authorities have orders all the students to vacate the halls by 2100 hours tonight.  I would request Mrs. Borhan to kindly go the hall-gate and bring my daughter to her home and keep her in safe-custody in her house until I go and collect her.
 
4.                   My Sister in law's marriage is scheduled on next Friday. My Father in law lives in Kotchandpur.   One of her college-mates, who also lives in the same town, has been disturbing her for last one year, has threatened to throw acid on her.  I would request Mr. Aminul Islam, an Assistant Director in RAB to help though his links that OC, Kotchandpur Thana takes necessary measures so that the ceremony could be conducted with out any trouble and the family could be provided some sort of protection from any miscreant actions.
 
In our day to day life we always face a lot of problems for which we don't find any reliable persons to provide honest support or service even after making good amount of payment.  I am sure there are lots of good persons in our society who would like to help sufferers/victims with their expertise, honest and courage.  This would also make us feel strong to fight the evil powers in our society that ultimately provides us the necessary protection.
 
What do you think?????

[chottala.com] Re: [Diagnose] Dhaka University - "Oxford" of the East or "Ox-Fort" of the East! ?

Friends

No, that is ot te solution. Rather it may have otherwise impact in the minds of the komolmoti(majority students) of DU. As everybody would agree that all teachers and students are not thugs and tainted like the politrical chamchas. To my  opinion the ideal and best way is to honestly make pruning and trim the venomenous politicals teachers and their goon desciples plus we as nation should take bold decision that all sorts politics or political wing of political parties be banned forever.

There should of course be the  democratically elected as like pre 1971"Student Union" to cater the academic and welfare needs of the student. If we can succeed than in no time our pride Dhaka University will take it's dignified sit among the universities of the world and be decorated again with the Honour of "Oxford of the East".

DU should be closed. If it cannon be closed soon, at least the process should be started to gradually shut it down. It is coming to no use to the country rather having detrimental effect. Many teachers are plagiarists and fully occupied with politics and dishonesties. DU is destroying the brilliant students future. They can shine in any other university. Moreover, shutting down DU will free a huge land area at the heart of now over crowded Dhaka city. It will ease the traffic situation a lot.

There are many other universities in Bangladesh which can cater the need of the students who go and will go to DU. Many universities were founded by our beloved PMs which only have the founding stones. We can develop those unis to meet our need.

Subj. Dhaka University - "Oxford" of the East or "Ox-Fort" of the East! ?
 
Dear All,
 
Three teachers of Dhaka University have been convicted for two years in jail for the crime committed by violating the Emergency Power Rules (EPR) at TSC (later pardoned by the President under political pressure) by a court of law of our civilized nation of Bangladesh- it is no longer under British rule or Pakistani control that violation of any law can be justified for self rule and democracy. So called political parties (AL and BNP) failed to conduct timely democratic election, so to avoid a catastrophic civil war the President had to declare Emergency Rule.  Present Care Taker Government is obliged and committed to hold democratic fair election within 2008 and also committed to eliminate major corruption to facilitate a fair and transparent election (proper voter registration and  elimination of influence of corrupted money is a must and an internationally acceptable democratic election process). All political parties,  general public, and international communities have accepted it.
 
Now, Dhaka University, our Alma mater, our pride  " Oxford of the East" has become or behaving like "Ox-fort" of the East,  to clarify more in Bangla- "Brisha- Durga" . means "Fort of Oxen";  no human brain, behaves like bullying, butting, unruly; needing more leashes to control. One sister, Ms. Dina Khan, who possibly lives abroad, quoted below, said,    "The people graduated from the University of Bangladesh after coming in abroad are doing odd jobs such as taxi driving hotel boy, city council cleaning works until & unless they get proper education from the education centre in abroad".. , at the same time Prof. Rahman Soban, a renowned think tank scholar of Bangladesh, living in Bangladesh,  recently said "A politically conscious and articulate university campus is an integral feature of a strong civil society".  Question - where is the time to prepare and train themselves for building real "Strong Civil Society",  he is recommending our immature young students for on-the-job training to become  tools, stooges, and "boot lickers"  of our Corrupted political leaders and religious leaders (fanatics)
 
This perpetual corrupted leadership will continue, symptoms are already evident Ref. 1st page of www.akhonsamoy.com Jan 8-14 issue, What will be future politics of Bangladesh   under the young leadership of Mr. Tarek Rahman, Sajeeb Wajed Joy or Mahi B. Chowdhury respective descendants of  Family Dynasty; they will peep up when political field will remain unchallenged?
In contrast Nobel Laureate Mohammad Yunus deepened down or chickened out from politics by being threatened and declared as "Murtad" by fanatic Mullahs, though the Nobel Award Committee reasoned their selection that Mr. Yunus will act to counter " a widespread tendency to demonize Islam" (Ref. follows). Let us try to conscript/indite Dr. Yunus into politics to save us and our Bangladesh, write or redirect this letter to Dr. Yunus--  g_trust@grameen.com
(Ref.
 
Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes said "By giving it to Mr Yunus, the group seeks to shine a spotlight not only on the fight against poverty but also on dialogue with the Muslim world and on empowering women. Microcredit has proved itself to be a liberating force in societies where women in particular have to struggle against repressive social and economic conditions," He also said,  "a widespread tendency to demonise Islam" has been seen since the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Nobel Committee wants to "narrow the gap between the west and Islam". )
 
 
 
 
The steps or movement we should take:
  • We can not pardon those convicted teachers, they should resign or be dismissed, let us raise our voice and email our demand to Dhaka University Vice Chancellor and (  feedback@ pmo.gov.bd  )  Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, Chief Advisor, Care Taker Government, People's Republic of Bangladesh
  • Whatever donations or scholarship fund we provide as Alumni of our Al Mamaters, let us ask the universities, we are going to stop our donations unless your products are of international standards, and you provide us your students' achievements when we give you money every year
  • Always try and provide your own sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters to give good education in good schools,. colleges, and universities in Bangladedesh, or in India, or in any foreign country you can afford,  good education is our future, not blind support and patronization of our "Ox-Fort" in future

"A politically conscious and articulate university campus is an integral feature of a strong civil society.
