[chottala.com] Re: [notun_bangladesh] Climate Change and the Issue of Settling the Bangladeshis: They could be Settled in South American Countries

Dear Ayubi bhai,
 
 
Yes, we need to keep our chins up but with the country so divided along political lines can we really think objectively? It is a painful reality but politics has to change or this culture of politics will eventually destabilize Bangladesh in the next 10 to 15 years. Our sovereignty will be threatened and we will approach quick disintegration. We need to arrest these changes by understanding the value at risk and the stakes are high so there are no room for eccentricity, stupidity, people pleasing schemes, etc. We need to build a future state based on pragmatic visions and global market understandings. While we have qualified human resource in Bangladesh, but do they have the responsibility and authority to effect certain changes within the country? I beg to differ. Then comes issues of nepotism and that is a disease we have not been able to handle well.
 
Anyway, dreams are nothing but dreams unless we resolutely work for bettering bangladesh.
 
 
Take care

Dear All,
 
The climate change issues are perhaps becoming grave each day and, as a nation, we need to do something. The climate change is a global issue and the West is to be blamed most heavily for it and countries like bangladesh is getting all the negative impacts for it. I believe a global fund for climate change be quickly set up (no more false hopes) and allow Bangladesh and some of the deeply affected countries to be the major stakeholders of this fund. This fund need to be utilized in developing adaptive technology, exploration of alternative energy and improved technology and crop management for future sustainability. Some of the fund has to be given for global awareness campaigns so as to reduce waste and recycle and re-use waste. We also need to work on restraining our appetite for run away consumerism.
 
Take care.

Mr. Bahar,

             We may not have to be climate change refugees after all , only if we learn the tachnology of reclaiming land from the sea and train our rivers then we would not have to worry about it.

            If our government was indeed smart then it could make some fortune out of the global food cricis . Our farmers are one of th best in the world. It is no joke to feed 150 million  people in  acountry having sa land mass of 147,000 Sq Km. In otherword the small state o Wisconsin feeding half of USA.

       Our Peace keepers working in Africn countries have prepared good grounds for bangladesh. . We can now enter into agreement with those countries on share cropping on mutually bengicial terms. We could also train their agricutural scientist here in bangladesh and engage our farmers in African countries to grow more food which could be beneficial for both .

Climate Change and the Issue of Settling Bangladeshis
Abid Bahar
Climate Change and the Issue of settling Bangladeshi climate refugees is becoming the talk of the small towns in the Global village. Questions asked, where to settle the 20.5 million Bangladeshis? The unfriendly India has been killing Bangladeshis in border areas through target practice even before the latter become refugees due to climate change and forced to take shelter in the north West Indian mountains. Last years death from the the unfriendly India's target shooting was 700.
South American countries like Argentina, Venezualia and Brazil could be approached by Bangladesh embassy/ Western governments to accept the proverbial hard working, friendly and moderate Bangladeshis. These countries are sparsely populated.

After all during the World Cup, Bangladeshis almost always support Argentina and Brazil. Also, two years ago, at the news of Argentina's defeat,a Bangladeshi from Barisal even committed suicide. I don't know the details, but I think there is a love connection and it is a love that should be respected.

[chottala.com] What makes the difference between a Dakat and Soldier?

What makes the difference between a Dakat and Soldier?
The teachers at our universities should know that their professional responsibility includes that the graduates from these universities do not become dakat, rather they becomes responsible professionals. Ethics should be included in each and every curriculum taught in the universities and colleges. They themselves should act as a role model for their students so that the graduates from their institutions do not go out in the soceity to find ways to cheat the citizens, rather to serve them.
 
 
There was a time when people would need physical strenghth to take away the wealth of others, to rob. The stories of different infamous pirates are there in the history who would do such things - take away other's money and property by using force.
 
Just like any other time, there were also a different type of people who would protect general people from those pirates. These people were also trained to use physical force to protect people from the pirates, albeit with a different purpose.
 
How do you differentiate these two groups? Off course, this is not an easy task. You have to go back and find out the 'ostads' or gurus of these people. Tactically these two groups of people might be in the same level, but based on who teaches them, they would become either pirates or soldiers.
 
Fast forward to current times - a time when you no longer need physical strenghth to take away the wealth of others, to rob. You only need to be a person with office - either your power comes from the knowledge you know or your power comes from the office you hold. Using the knowledge or using the power of office, a professional can act either as robber or as a soldier as far as general citizens of the country is concerned. Similar to the previous times, when you go to a office for getting a service, you have no way to know whether its a robber or a soldier whom you are facing. You would only know after you have been served!
 
Wait, can't you apply the same rule as was applicable in the old times, i.e. can't you go back and find out the 'ostads' or gurus of these professionals to find out how these people might behave (either a robber or a professional)?  Say for example, if you go to RAJUK and find a engineer who graduated from BUET, can you make a guess whether this engineer will be a robber or a professional with ethical behaviour? Or may be if you go to a doctors office and you find out that this person is a graduate from DMC, can you make a guess wehther this doctor will be a robber or a professional with ethical behaviour?
 
In ideal world, you should be able to make an educated guess by looking at the curriculum of the institutions along with other relevant track records including those of the teachers of those institutions. If you look at the teaching methodologies, topics related to professional ethics that is present in the curriculum, those will give you an idea about what to expect. Off course, professionals are human beings, not robots. So there will be exception when your guess might not be correct. However, in case of a good institution, you should be able to confidently say with certain level of probabilistic certainty that an alumni of institution X should be a good professional. That is probably true in most of the institutions of the world, specifically in those countries who are developed.
 
But not the same in Bangladesh. In here, if you look at the curriculums of most of the programs, there is no talk about professional ethics. Nor the teachers are peoples who can be called a role-model. So, what do you get?
 
You will have to just step into any offices - be it in government or in private institutions. There is nothing like professional behavior. They act at the will of their bosses. Or boss's boss. Or boss's wife. Or boss's son.
 
Off course, some act against the will of their bosses. In this category, you will find people of both categories, those who to act professionally and those who act as robber.
 
These professionals are just like "boti" or knife in the kitchen. They can be used to prepare your meal or you could use them to kill, too!
 
We really hope that the teachers of different instituations will start a process of soul searching - to find out what they have been doing wrong in Dhaka University, BUET, Dhaka Medical College and off course in their peer organizations, so they can't tell what their graduates will become when out in the workforce. Things should be done both at the personal level and at the institutional level, that can reverse the trend for betterment of the nation. The sooner they start it, the better.
 
Like all the good turnarounds, this should start with saying sorry to the nation. Tell the nation that you have failed the millions of people who pay for your salary so that you can provide subsidized education to your students (most of whom are becoming robbers, instead of professionals).
 
In this sad story, each segment of the society has a pie in the failure cake. The biggest pie of the failure, off course, belong to the politicians of the country. They are paying for their mistakes now - to some extent. However, the nation haven't heard any sorry from them, yet.
 
We hope, as the bibek of the naion, you should start the process of reversing the trend. Say a sorry to the nation - from each of the teachers' association of each institution - if you feel that your graduates have failed in delivering their duties. Take the responsibilites of your graduates' failures - that will not lower your status - but raise your moral status with the nation. Someone start the process, please. If you, the teachers take the moral high ground and lead, we are sure that other segments of the society will also follow-on.
 
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columnists in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

RE: [chottala.com] Re: engineer asadul hoque dies

I have no language to express my grieves in response to hearing the sad demise of Asadul Haque. We had long relations with him regarding one common goal to bring back Bangabandhu's dream to build Bangladesh. My feelings are alike to Anu, Akhter and others who fought against odds after killing of Bangabandhu in 1975. We fought against evil tides tried to wash out all our achievement in 1971 just after killing of Mujib. Asad was one of them who understood to withstand against all evil forces and we can say that we were not failed. It is true that we started and that fighting will continue for ever as we believe the prosperity of human beings.

 

We will not forget you,Asad. This is my request to Anu and Akhter to convey my heart felt condolences to Asad's family.

 INNA   LILLA  HE   WA   INNA   LILA  HE   WA   RAZEUN

 

At this time let we all pray & make DOA to Almighty Allah for Asad's departed soul - so that Almighty Allah give peace in his grave and provide a place to him in jannat ul Ferdous 

 

We all hope & expect that InsaAllah Allah will to that and Asad will get those!

 

Engineer Asad was a very nice, polite, sincere, honest man.

 

Today morning there were two JANAZA for him in Dhaka - one at Railway compound & another at Baitul Mokarram mosque compound (He was also Project Director (PD) of the Islamic Foundation, Baitul Mokarram, Dhaka) and he will be buried at his home place Faridpur after Asar prayer.

 

We all convey our deep condolences to his father (still alive), wife (Mrs. Rozina Parveen vabee, DGM in a public Bank) & children (elder girl Ms. Aboni, 2nd year student of BUET in Mech Engg & son, Mr. Ashik, recently got golden GPA 5 in his SSC exam), his brothers & sisters and his full family.

 

His Dhaka residence phone numbers are 935 4043 & 933 9000

 

May Almighty Allah give his wife, father, children, all family members, friends – to have SABUR, strength and peace of mind to bear this huge loss. It is the decision of Allah, we have to accept it!

 

He was a very good 'friend' of mine as well as my 'younger brother'. He used to like & respect me like as a friend & elder brother too.

 

Except last year (March 2007, when he was very sick), he used to receive or see off me at the Dhaka airport along with his close friends Engr. Razzak (Sup Engg), Engr Anwar (Deputy Secretary) & others. And we have spent many days-times together.

 

After coming to New Zealand in 1998 also we had regular contact. I have talked with him & his wife week before and she informed me that his condition was deteriorating rapidly, though he moral was high and requested to make DOA for him.

 

Couple of week ago Engr. Dr. Gholam Mostafa Vai also phoned me to inform about his poor condition of health and to make DOA. I talked to his wife too (at that time he was in Square hospital). I used to get his update news from my youngest brother (He also work as a Divisional Engineer in Bangladesh Railway at Rail Vaban, Dhaka)

 

I can clearly recall all good & modest behaviour, attitude of Engineer Asad during my student life in BUET with him (1979 to 1980). I can also distinctly remember his precious time, unrestrained efforts & sincere service for the betterment of the engineering community of Bangladesh through Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) since 1995 until his death.

 

He was elected as a Local Council Member of the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), Dhaka Centre election in 1998 – 1999 (I was also elected along with him) and he was also elected VP of Electrical Engineering Division of IEB. He used to actively participate in all social and professional activities of the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) and always served the community with his utmost dedication as a true fellow. His senior & junior colleagues in Bangladesh Railway & later in Bangladesh Secretariat used to like and respect him respectively, which I have witnessed many time in his offices

 

All we have seen how he served relentlessly for the engineering community and for his family too (his father, younger sisters, recently passed MBBS, used to stay with him). His feeling, service to engineering community & to his friends (BUET – 83 club and others) & family were so great that it would make a permanent mark in the minds of many engineers, family members, friends both in Bangladesh and abroad to mourn his death .

 

Let we make DOA, pray again & again for his departed soul for a peaceful stay in grave and a place in Jannat. May Allah accept our DOA.

 

Ameen.

[chottala.com] Indra Gandhi couldn't help establish Bangladesh alone

Indra Gandhi couldn't help establish Bangladesh alone
Abid Bahar
One person can not do such a big thing. It was a result of a chain reaction of events:
Bengal began to emerge from the partition movement led by Sir Salimullh.
 East Bengal later joined Pakistan. If it didn't join with Pakistan it wouldn't have become Bangladesh.
The premir of Assam once said that one Bhasani was enough to destroy two Pakistan. Bhasani's autonomy demand, breaking the 144 that led to the 21st Feb event (Mujib was in jail during this time), Bhasani founding Ittifaq, Awami League, two strong institutions that allowed Mujib to come up Bhasani's autonomy demand in the 6 point and work on it, Bhasani's movement to release Mujib from Agartala conspiracy case, Bhutto's denial to transfer power, Mujib's 7th March speech and what was left was for Indra to cut a thin skin connecting the body of part Pakistan which was cut and seperated by Indra. Well, yes and no, I would say she helped in the process.
During the liberation war I was in Mizooram, I saw half burned big trees by the roadside. We had to have pass to go from the tent to the bazar. Mizoos are required to carry pass for travelling as well. I asked local people what happened here? They said, when Mizoos rebelled, Indra sent Indian air force and did crpet bombing. Indra was called by Nixon a witch. I wouldn't say that.
At the camp, as Bengalis demanded ration/food and blanket, Indian army arrested them and put in the open sky bazar in rain water. If a person said a small thing against India, the next day you see the person in jail. There were spies everywhere. So you know why this Sri Moti helped. She helped herself and her country.
 In 1971 we went to India for trainning but we were given trainning only how to use rifle without the use of ammunition. This is to make sure that there is no confusion of our fire with the rebel's. India's human rights violations in these occupied regions are not regularly reported to the international media.
Indra Gandhi couldn't help establish Bangladesh alone.

[chottala.com] Fwd: ARHAM needs your help




From: rabi_sankar_das@bd.nykline.com <rabi_sankar_das@bd.nykline.com>
Date: Jul 12, 2008 1:21 PM
Subject: ARHAM needs your help


Arham is the 20 month old son of my colleague. This lively little boy was diagnosed with
'Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia' (blood cancer) and subdural Hemorrhage in the brain and
is presently undergoing treatment at the National University Hospital (NUH) in
Singapore. His doctors say that he is responding well to the induction chemotherapy and
has a 70% chance of being cured by their treatment.

However, the treatment will have to continue for two years and it will cost around
US$ 100,000.00. Arham's committed parents have drawn on all their savings and their
family and friends are extending all the assistance they can to save the life of this
beautiful young boy. However, they are still far behind the required amount and are
in dire need of financial assistance to continue the treatment. It breaks my heart when
I speak to my colleague and wish there was more I could do for her beloved child. Since
there is only so much I can contribute, I am writing this mail to all my nearest and dearest
friends for any assistance you can extend.

I am attaching herewith a copy of a letter from Arham's doctor at NUH seeking assistance
from First Hand Foundation in Kansas City, USA. Here you will see that the initial treatment
is very cost intensive. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly extend
your generous assistance as soon as you can.

You can send your contribution in any of the following ways:

1. Friends in Bangladesh: can contact me if they want to contribute cash, which can be sent with

the funds we have raised from our office.

2. Friends living abroad: can remit their contribution directly to Arham's parents at the following A/C:

Bank Name: DBS Bank
Address: 6 Shenton Way, DBS Building, Singapore 068809

Account Name: Md. Azim Ashraf
Account Number: 020-2-072939
Swift Code: DBSSSGSG
Chips UID Number: 034675
Telex Number: RS 24455

Please visit a website dedicated to Arham (
http://arham.webnode.com) for his pictures and further details
of how you can make a contribution. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested to know more about how
you can help.

I am truly grateful for the time you have taken to read this mail. Please pray for the child and hope
that you will extend a helping hand to his loving parents.

Thanking you,


P.S. The attached picture was taken when Arham joined us on a family outing of our Company to Cox's Bazar earlier this year.
