[chottala.com] And God created Bangladesh at the end.



Dear All,

Last few debates which is going on in this column about secularism and communalism, if we go a bit in our past history, Muslims of East Bengal were the victims of torture by Hindu Zaminders and Muslims were put in a down trodden position and were given less facilities in all sphere of their life starting from education up to economic development as a whole. As a result Muslims used to remain poor and poorer in comparison to those Hindus and were the back and call of those Hindus and Hindu Zaminders as it is evident by one Muslim favoured Hindu writer Sharat Chandra Chattopaddya in his story "MOHESH". Of course there was another cottor anti-Muslim Hindu writer Bankim Chandra Bandopaddya was a serious anti-Muslims as is evident in all of his anti-Muslim writings. What Hindus are feeling now a days similarly before 1947 Muslims also living in their own majority Muslim populated home land in East Bengal used to feel like that.  

Due to all of these Muslims of East Bengal supported and voted overwhelmingly to join with Pakistan to create a separate state for the Muslims. Only one benefit we got being in one Pakistan our Muslims uplifted by their education and economically. Except these later on it was found again in creating Pakistan the idea of separate muslim state were completely spoiled and failed by some high headed Pakistani Army Generals, Pakistani rulers (I mean West Pakistani) and power hungry West Pakistani foolish Politician Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. We should not forget also if Pakistan would not be created at that time to-day there would be no Bangadesh, there would be another Kashmir and the fate of us would be similar to that of Kashmir even worst than that. 

Rferring to Mr. Shyamal Dutta what Mr. Syed Aslam told  is partially true as "According to the news item, Mr. Shayamol Dutta was only a key note speaker, who mentioned that in 1947-division was  based on communalism....that communalism created divisions among the people, the minorities (religious) have become aliens in their own land ......the remnants of communalism still exist......".  

By arranging a round table conference or raising hue and cry in New York (USA) by Hindu, Bouddhya, Christian Aikkay Porishod lead by Sitangshu Guha and many others, is there any benefit to create more bitterness and communal feeling? Whether that sorts of communal disturbances is prevailing in our country for which so much media propaganda is going on?

In 1947 when I was small and a school going student in Assam, I was an eye witness of those Hindu Muslim riots. Also riots flared up in Calcutta, West Bengal the history of which many of our younger generation don't know yet. 

My gratitude to the Late H.S. Sorwardy alongwith him our Bongo Bandhu Sk. Mujibur Rahman who came forward to the rescue of the Muslims of Calcutta by risking their lives at that very moment. Here I like to tell the history of the past only. Again I like to request not to see it in the communal viewpoint. Regards to all.

Dowllah.
