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



 
 
Dear All
 
Eight hundred years have passsed since the advent of Islam in Bangladesh
(1204, Bakhtier Khilji). During the muslim rule, people of Bengal, Hindus & Muslims
lived peacefully as friendly neighbours without any communal hatered or animosity
for each other. The Hindu Zamindari Syestem in Bengal was a creation of British
occupation....[Warren Hastings 1772-1774 Sunset Law] the seed communal hatered
was implanted by British to ensure the stability of it's rule, specifically after the First
Indian War of Inpendence (1856-57), the so-called Sepoy Mutiny when Hindus and
Muslims joined hand-in-hand to fight against the British Raj. In the subsequent years
the British occupiers followed the policy of Divide and Rule that culminated in the
communal partion of India.As a result a large number of people got uprooted from
their ancestorial habitat, both sides of the border.
 
Pakistan was created as the homeland for the muslims of India. .
[another British created homeland is Israel for jews where the Palestanians
were uprooted from their ancestorial lands   ..........................]
 
MQM leader Altaf Hussain recently commented: The Partisan of India was
the greatest blunder in the history of Mankind....
See YouTube Videos:
[ (1) Partition of India was a Blunder in the history of mankind
 
(2) Partition of India a Blunder - Altaf Hussain

There was a disease .... the diagonosis and the solution (medicine/surgery)
were both wrong .... The patient is still alive and suffering  with many
side effects and many new ailments ....Historical processes follows a
zikzak path but reaches a new height and we should always hope
& pray for the best at the end .... [ you are right,
God created Bangladesh at the end.......tomorrow will be even a
better day ........and God will help the people of Babngladesh
to create a society where there will be no second class citizen
and equality of all people will be established in the truest sense,
irrespective of one's religion or ethnicity]
 
 
Different people have different perspective and different views on these
historical matters. As we all know, what has happended in history is past
and can't be changed or repaired....However we can create a better society
where animosities and bitterness between people and communities
cease to exist .....No matter where it happens, communal hatered
can not be justified on any pretext whatsoever......
 
There should be no denying of the reality that although Bangladesh
is a  secular muslim country communalism in various pockets
in the country still exists where hindus (and other minorities) are soft
targets of the criminals.
 
The communal attitude of all sorts at home must be totally abhorred and
condemned, not condoned.
 
Just like charity, the total eradication of communal attitude
should also start at home. We should not try to put our "dirts"
under the rugs .....As a nation we must establish "Zero Tolerance"
on all sorts of communalism: hidden or open.

but because of the system that maximized his personal gains..
In Pakistan the zamindari System is still present, especially in the
provinces of Sindh and Punjab: http://www.answers.com/topic/zamindar

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.

Re: [chottala.com] Ms Dina Khan, Portraying Bashkali Tragedy as mere "Ddacoity" is still questionable !



Portraying Bashkali Tragedy as mere "Ddacoity" is still questionable !
 
 
Ms Dina Khan  
 
You diverting from the issue under discussion [your business as usual]
The topic was the ramnants of communalism that exist even today in
various pockets of Bangladesh, where minorities "soft targets" .
The communalism in India or other countries are beyond the scope
of current discussion.
 
Your comment about Islam as a religion is well understood.
But, question is how come Bangladesh being a land of the Musulmans,
all kinds of criminal activities and law & order problems premeates the
country?
 
Islamic sounding rethorics and "superiority" of Islam do not prevent the
criminals to continue with their henious activities in our Bangladesh.....
 
You have been wrongly accusing Mr. Shymal Datta on issues in
India. The meeting under discussion was arrainged by DORP 
not by Mr. Shymal Datta. Many others including the Deputy Speaker
of Bangladesh Parliament, Mr. Shawkat Ali, emphasized that
proclaiming a particular religion as the State Religion undermines
other religions in the country
Mr. Shayamol Dutta 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 ramnants of communalism still exist ....
 
The puputrators of the criminals behind Banshkhali Taagedy, the so-called
docoits, are not punished because of heavy handedness by some politically
connected people. To many reputed commentator "the reason put forward
for Banskhali  massacre as something related to dacoity is far from
convincing. "
According to the lone surviving member  of the victim-family Bimol Sheel,
the criminals are now roaming freely & openly ...
 
There should be no denying of the reality that although Bangladesh
is a "moderate muslim country" communalism in various pockets
in the country still exists where hindus are soft targets of the criminals.
 
Even Madam Khaleda Zia just yesterday in her speech at Sirajgong,
mentioned that
"the AL is frequently speaking about secularism "but the party men
are grabbing property, houses and lands of Hindu community and
unleashed repression on them."
 
This indicates that ramnants of communalism do exist accross party
lines in our country and Mr. Shymal Datta's and other speakers'
concerns at the DORP seminar are genuine.
 
For sure, the communal violences in India or any other country must
be condemned, but that should be done in a different thread, not
while discussing Banshkhali Tragedy or any other communal
incidents at home. No matter how small it is, communalism at
home can not justified by any  pretext, whatsoever. The
communal attitude of all sorts at home must be totally
abhorred and condemned, not condoned.
 
Just like charity, the total eradication of communal attitude
should also start at home. We should not try to put our "dirts"
under the rugs .....As a nation we must establish "Zero Tolerance"
on all sorts of communalism: hidden or open.
 
PS: Bringing Norendra Modi and Guzrat riots & communal trends in India
while discussing the conference arranged by DORP is out and out an
outcome of communal attitude.. Mr. Shymal Datta may be right,
Mr. Shymal Datta may be wrong ... but neither himself nor the Hindus
in Bangladesh bear any responsibility for communal violences in
India [East Punjab Kashmir Gujrat Assam etc].

Dear Mr Aslam,
 
Islam does not create communal feeling. Islam does not create any feeling to hate any body. Islam does not create any classification among the people as upper class or as lower class people. Islam is for justice of humanity & human right considering all human being as one human nation under the umbrella of loving peaceful family. Islam teaches the people to build successful personal life for loving married couple for building happy loving peaceful family which can help for building secure society for peaceful  nation & peaceful world.  Islam is religion for loving people for helping people not for burning people or not looting other's property not for doing any injustice to any body.
 
Bangladeshi lower class Hindus (Upper Class gone India) are not insecure in Bangladesh. Causes Bangladeshi Muslims are not communal minded at all. Causes Islam does not allow it. But Indian upper class Hindus are very sensitive minded & communal. Indian Muslims along other minority community & lower class Hindus are not secure in India
When Bangladeshi (lower) Hindus raise any question against the Muslim community in Bangladesh they should remember that they are better secured in Bangladesh than Indian Muslims & lower class Hindus. They should ask the Indian Government administration for taking lawful legal action against the communal activities done by upper class Hindu activists against the minority people in India & unlawfully killing & burning Muslims people in Kashmir Gujarat Assam & other places in India. Indian politician's policy is mainly responsible for. Creating riot & killing people in India & later Bangladesh.
Mr. Shymal Datta as an editor of Bhorer Khagag neutrally can write in the editorial Coolum for establishing humanity & human right in India considering the people as human nation not considering the people as minority or lower or upper caste people.
The reason of all problems is that there is no lawful good administration at any where in Bangladesh India & Pakistan to establishing justice for humanity & human right under the system of lawful democracy. 
At some part of India such as East Punjab Kashmir Gujrat Assam & other places are being ruled by army controlled & army helped administration under system of so called democracy... In Pakistan it is seen that there all administrations are under Army control.
In Bangladesh it is better known to you than me, so 
How can you hope punishment to any Dacoit?
After 1/11
How many dacoits & chandabaj were arrested? Did you not read the news during the CTG Administration in Bangladesh
Are they not released with out punishment?  
Is it called lawful Administration or Justice of Democracy in Bangladesh?
Did you not read the speech of Mr. Jalil the EX GS & present Advisor of BAL?
Can you tell that Bangladesh is being ruled under lawful administration for establishing justice for humanity & human right?
What situations in India & Pakistan are?
Are the media people in Bangladesh or in India or in Pakistan writing or speaking any against inhuman activities without being communal to establishing humanity & human right for justice of law or for lawful democracy?
To solve of all problems

i)                     People specially the political leaders & the administrators in administrations are needed to be quality educated persons in learning to know what the real problems of the people & to learn how can be solved their problems by establishing lawful justice under lawful Administration for justice & do  

ii)                   Media people can be honest sincere in circulating correct news without creating any problem news by creating false news or by creating communal feeling & situations.

iii)                  The lawful system of lawful democracy can create lawful honest politicians & lawful media

iv)                  The lawful politicians can establish lawful administration for ruling the country in lawfully in doing trial against all criminal activities to establish social justice.

v)                    It needs for the leaders of the country to think positively for creating educated quality people nation wide quality education are needed to provide to all category people at least minimum standard for educating them as quality understanding persons for building quality nation.

The administration leaded by dacoit administrators under the dacoit politicians can never be done lawful trial against any dacoit for justice & quality educated people not also be created.

If  Bashkali Tragedy was dacoity, why the criminals are not punished yet ?
Is there a cover-up by some powerful people?
 
WRT:
 
Ms Dina Khan
 
What are you talking about .......?
 
Do you still have questions in your mind that Hindus in
Bangladesh are a minority religious group?
 
Is not Islam a distinctly different religion than that of
Hinduism?
 
Have a reality check ....
 
Today's Bangladesh has a constitutionally declared
State Religion which is Islam...As such, the Hindus may be
deemed as second class citizens, according to many ...
Just because there is no seperate electorate for the Hindus
and the Muslims both in India and in Bangladesh does not
mean that communalism and persecution of religious
minorities is totally absent.
 
The communalism thrieves on social backwardness, fanaticism,
and narrow vested secterian interest, sometimes political
interest.
 
Please read the news item on the seminar organized
by DORP again:
before you continue to give further twist on the issue under discussion.
 
My point was "Mr. Siraj uddowllah brought Gujrat Incident out of context
which definitely had a communal undertone.
 
On the Bashkhali Tragedy your mentor Mr. Siraj uddowllah has every
right to pass his opinion & present his points of views "as a human right activist"
However, the seminar in question presented a different perspective.
It was organized by Developmental Organization of the Rural Poor [DORP].
The Deputy Speaker of Bangladesh Parliament, Mr. Shawkat Ali,
emphasized that proclaiming a particular religion as the State Religion
undermines other religions in the country.
 
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 ramnants of communalism still
exist ....
 
The other speakers also expressed their concerns on the disturbance
of communal harmony in our country.
 
 As we all know, the culprits of the Bashkhali killings has not
yet been punished. According to the lone surviving member  of the
victim-family Bimol Sheel, the criminals are now roaming freely ...
 
Is there a cover-up attempt to hide the crime? Why?
 
If  Bashkali Tragedy was a dacoity case, why the criminals are not punished yet ? Is  there some "powerful people"  behind the docoity?
Should not these criminals be given examplary punishment for
burning 11 people to death? Six years have already passed.....
 
I still wonder why Mr. Shayamol Dutta is being singled out by yourself [Ms Dina Khan] and  Mr. Siraj uddowllah for arranging the conference, although the conference was arranged by an organization called Developmental Organization of the Rural Poor [DORP].
 
Again, Ms Dina Khan you are  saying:
"Mr Aslam  Are you acting for cmmunal Raw? "
Can you explain you statement and tell us how do relate
your hypothesis with the issue under discussion.
Is that the only "LOGIC" you have?

Why the Muslims in India are being called the minority people in India?

Answer is. < NO>
 
Why did Mr. Symol Dutta being an editor of a news paper & others being as human right activists call a round table conference in the name of minority community insecure in Bangladesh? 
Are they not creating communal feeling & communal situation by holding such of talking & meeting or conference ?   
It was better for ( them ) the editors of news (NEWS means News of north east west south) papers & for the so called human right activists to think for dicussing as a whole  what are the reasons what are the back ground behind that for happening such type accidents at any where in Bangladesh & at other part of the world including India.
But they had done it as communal activists not as an editor or as human right activists
Mr. Dowlla has passed his opinion as a human right activist not creating communal feeling.

Dear All
 
Mr. Siraj uddowllah brought Gujrat Incident out of context in his original
blamed Mr. Shayamol Dutta for not arranging a conference on Guzrat
when there was a massacre of Muslims.
 
Mr. Siraj uddowlah went further to request the Bhorer Kagoj
owner Mr. Saber H. Chowdhuri to take action this one eyed
 hindu editor   . {anything personal ????? ]
 
Now, Mr. uddowllah is changing his stance.....: ::
He mentions that Bashkhali horror was  a case of docoity.
 
The tragic Bashkhali incident could be very well be the acts
of some miscreants who are docoits..... .
Mr. uddowllah should have mentioned that in the first place instead
of bringing Norendra Modi and Guzrat riots while discussing the
conference arranged by DORP.
 
Now, in his present post Mr. Siraj uddowllah says " A family of Hindus in
Bashkali were the victims of dacoity and not a reparcation of
Guzrat incidents."
 
Many people have indicated the incident as communal matter, which
may be  debatable, but I have not seen anyone calling the Bashkhali
tragedy a "reparcation of Guzrat incident ".
 
Can Mr. Siraj uddowllah point out where did someone has called the
Bashkhali Tragedy as the repurcation of Guzrat incident?
As far as I have seen Mr. Siraj uddowllah is the only person who brought
Guzrat massacre while talking about Bashkhali incident ...
 
I only objected to his bringing up the  issue of Gujrat Riots while
discussing an tragic incident at home. Mr. Siraj uddowllah's accusation
in chottala message # 10390  is misleading and totally unfounded.
There is no mix up in my position.... we should not just bring incidents
in India or any other country, out of context explicitly or implicitly, while
discussing a tragic incident in Bangladesh.
 
 
Mr. Siraj uddowllah is at liberty to discuss & condemn
Norendro Modi's crimes and Massacre of Muslims in a different
thread .... But, blaming Mr. Shayamol Dutta for not holding a
conference on Gujrat riot has definitely given his post a vivid
communal.undertone  ....... there  is an attitude problem that
thrieves on innuendoes .... 
 
There is no denying of the fact that there are many "pockets" in
Bangladesh where minorities, including the Hindus are soft targets
of the criminals, docoits and the land grabbers ......
 
Thanks for everyone's patience.

Dear chottala readers,

I also wonder why Mr. Syed Aslam is trying to mix up the case of dacoity incidents with that of communal riots of Guzrat and twisting up the issue towards the communal side. There is no doubt the Bashkali incident was really an inhuman tragedy caused by some dacoits unluckily it was with the Hindu family which may be with the Muslim family also to loot money, ornaments and many other valuable articles according to their suitability and opportunity,  and if given any obstacles the nature of these inhuman dacoits to kill them also. There is no resemblance of this dacoity case and also not any reparcation of the communal incidents caused by the fanatic Hindus instigated by a so called well known top political leader of Guzrat happened to be a chief Minister of that particular area named Norendra Singh Modi doing all sorts of rampage, mass killing, looting the Muslim shop intentionally and causing killing of about hundreds or more Muslims by burning them alive mentioning to teach the Muslims how to burn according to the way of Hindu rituals. Not only that those notorious fanatic people tearing and burning our Holy Quran which we used to touch with respect.

The dacoits of Bashkali incidents if recognized and caught would definitely be punished by hanging them by our court of justice for committing such a heinous crime like killing some people of an innocent family even not required to arrange a round table conference also. Mr. Aslam has shown so many links and documents of  some commission made by the Indian high court but what happened for those known culprit especially for Norendra Singh Modi who was the root of all these incidents. He is freely moving in the common public place without any punishment given to him by the Indian high court yet. Because of his misdeeds he did in Guzrat he was refused to give any visa to U.S.A. even.  

Yes I quite agree what Mr. Syed Aslam says people of Bangladesh have every rights to discuss the issues of communal harmony at home, especially towards the minorities if they feel insecure and threatened due to sporadic incidents of intentional communal disharmony. The minorities should have enough assurance and guarantee that such incidents would not be repeated elsewhere in the country. But here in this case of dacoity why to get the smell of communal disharmony as our country not like that of India is well known  as an internationally recognised moderate Muslim country. Actually how much it is wise to mix up the dacoity incidents with the communal case of Guzrat. Can anybody suggest how to stop the dacoity case if it happened again and again suddenly in any place at any time. Is there any benefit of arranging such a round table conference by giving it a shape of a communal case as this was tried by the Editor of Bhorer Kagoz. Because this was not the case of communal disharmony and intolerance towards religious minorities.

Dowllah. 

The following posting by Syed Aslam on 16.9.2009: 

Hindus in Bangladesh do not bear any responsibility for the Gujrat riots......
Why blame them ?
 
 
 
Dear All
 
Like charity communal harmony should also  begin at home:
 
People of Bangladesh have rights to discuss the issues of communal
harmony at home, especially the minorities if they feel insecure and
threatened due to sporadic incidents. The minorities should have
enough assurance and gurranttee that such incidents would not be
repeated elsehere in the country.
 
Hindus in Bangladesh do not bear any responsibility
for the Gujrat riots and should not be blamed as such. The Gujrat riot
has been brought out of context while discussing Bashkhali tragedy.
And BTW, Development Orgnasination of the Rural Poor (DORP),
a non-government organization, arranged the seminar titled 'National
Seminar on Social Harmony and Rights- Banshkhali Tragedy' at
the National Press Club. 
 
Blaming Bangladeshi hindus in general or  Bhorer Kagoj editor
Mr. Shayamal  Dutta in particular, for not "arranging a round table
conference"  for incidents elsewhere [Gujrat riot] is essentially 
exhibits religious prejudice & intolerance through hidden aspersions
and innuendoes, and may lean towards communal provocation at
it's worst.
 
I wonder why Mr. Dowllah is mixing up issues?
 
The People of Bangladesh has maintained a very high degree of
communal harmony and tolerance towards religious minorities,
in general.  However, there are small pockets where  incidents of
violences against hindus (or other minorities) has occured
instgated by a narrow coterie of vested interest.
 
The Bashkhali incident  was one such tragedy.
Our nation should not condone any of such incidents under any
pretext whatsoever. Also, we should not put our dirts under the
rugs ..... We should maintain a  zero tolerance policy on all
sort of sectarianism and communalism in our country.
All sorts of communal violence and attrocities should be
exposed, condemned & punished.
 
Communal violences & attrocities in Gujrat on anywhere
in India or China can not justiy the same in Bangladesh.
FYI, Norendra Modi and his BJP cum Sangha Paribar &
Bojrong Dol  goons have been condenmed by the sane
voices in India and all over the world.
 
Norendra Modi has been barred fron entering USA several times
for his role in Gujrat  riots. Various Human Rights organisations in
India and USA have not only condemned but fighting for justice &
punishment of the real purputrators of 2002 Gujrat massacre of the
Muslims. The Human Rights organisations also played a  major role
in revoking Norendra Modi's US visa in 2008 and in his previous
attempt to visit USA.

Dear all chottala readers,

Mr. Shayamal Dutta editor of "Dainik Bhorer Kagoz" arranged a rounnd table conference regarding Bashkali incidents but why he did not arrange such type of conferences when thousands of Muslims were massacred and burned alive in Guzrat by a fanatic hindu chief Minister Norendra Singh Modi. The Bashkali hindu families were human being and Guzrat Muslims were not human? Mr. Shaymal Dutta is taking the full advantage of his being a hindu editor of a newspaper like "Bhorer Kagoz" to arrange such a conference about incidents of a hindu family in Bashkali. Being a responsible editor of a renowned newspaper like Bhorer Kagoz he should be above all sorts of religious prejudice. Mr. Saber Hossain Chowdhury owner of "Bhorer Kagoz" is requested to take action against this one eyed editor of highly reputed newspaper, being involved in trying to create a communal feeling of a peace loving peoples of secular Bangladesh

Re: [chottala.com] Banshkhali tragedy --- a burning Shame for the nation by Md. Asadullah Khan



Hi Mr. Md. Asadullah Khan
These killers & burners  "from Banskhali  to Pabna to Jhalakathi the whole region ' may be the agents or followers of Mr. Norendra Modi Chief Minister of Gujarat & Lal Krisna Advani the opposition leader of India for wishing to be the leaders in Bangladesh like them.
In Gujrat Assam Kashmir East Punjab & other places of India a lot of people are being killed & are being burnt but legal action are not taken against the killers & burners No administration comes for ward to do trial against them. 
It may create the inspiration for killing the people for burning the people for breaking the institution like Babri Masjid to be the great leaders in either India or in Bangladesh...
In 1947 by killing millions people we have got many great leaders like " Mohatma " "Quaidi_ Azam". In 1971 by killing 3 millions people we have got many founders of the nation
It may be in future we also may get so many great leaders on result of killing & burning innocent people & destroying innocent people's property. 
To get the great leaders it needs to sacrifice some innocent people's lives...

Banshkhali tragedy  --- a burning Shame for the nation

by Md. Asadullah Khan

From Banskhali  to Pabna to Jhalakathi the whole region is a tinder box of crime: namely, killing, burning, raping, arson and violence. Unbelievable and most horrific, at  Banskhali  11 persons 7 of them women, 4 children and one adult in the family of Tejendra Lal Shil was  burnt to death on the midnight of November 17 last, believably with incendiary materials. It is hardly believable that the gangsters at Banskhali  came with the motive of committing dacoity in a not so affluent house. In the ground floor of the two storied mud house of Tejendra Shil, the marauders did not break open the steel almirah that might have contained the valuables. The burning to death of Tejendra Lal Shil and 10 members of his family to death in a rural outback, 80 km away from Chittagong was an act of such horror, such barbarism that there is almost no Bangladeshi who does not feel personally shamed. To lock a family inside a house, burn them to death and cheer is barbaric. A stunned nation reeled under the sheer audacity of the attack and ferocity of the revenge killing or hatred, presumably the handiwork of some disgruntled and deviant groups operating without resistance. Let us not delude ourselves by thinking that the attack either in Banskhali , Jhalakati or Pabna was some isolated incident. It demonstrated much more forcefully that the country has been a "soft target" and the law enforcement agency was hardly capable to challenge their might. Muhuri murder in Chittagong, raping, and killing of teenage girls at Bagerhat, Dinajpur and in recent time two cases of burning in Jhalakathi and Pabna are pathetic reminders of our softness and shoddy police investigation. The reaction of the police administration was unfeeling and defensive compared to the Prime minister whose distress was visible because she enquired  about the ghastly incident from the Holy Kaba Sharif  where she was performing umrah at the time.
 
In a pathetic bid to be liberal and apathetic to all such cases of violence in the country the political class has been gently nudged along the path of appeasement. After several days of the incident, a S.I. of Police has been suspended for neglect of duty.  There is no point pinning the entire blame on authorities or police. As for the Police, apart from normal problems like corruption and overwork, it is hamstrung by familiar political pressures and there is no denying the fact that both the authorities and administration are paralysed by the lack of political will.
 
            Charred beyond recognition and reduced to fragile frame of ashes at Banskhali  11(eleven) bodies in Tejendra Shil's house lay scattered without any one reaching for help. Nothing worked for the hapless family members.  Amazingly, after breaking open the door of the house forcibly the murderous gangs set the house ablaze without looting or touching anything. Even in a country where life is so easily extinguished either on the road or river there was a feeling of revulsion about this ghastly murder. It was surely as much the method of killing that stunned people. Every man, woman and child in the country has been united as rarely before by a collective sense of revulsion. In fact, the country has betrayed itself. The beastly act done, the mauraders melted away in the darkness of the night as the flames that had leapt skywards simmered. But the heat generated by the senseless killings in Banskhali, Pabna and Jhalakathi and the outrage stoked are far from ebbing days after the incident.
 
            People wonder if the state has revealed itself to be completely incapable of fighting the forces of violence and gangsterism. What happened at Banskhali  was an evil and would perhaps not have happened at the first place if the earlier murders at Chittagong region were properly investigated and actual culprit or culprits had been booked. What we have seen some groups regardless of the communities or religion they belong to are carrying a political agenda whose entire basis, whose reason d'etre is factionalism, sectarianism and in most cases communalism of the most vicious kind. It is the sort of political agenda that ends up harming its proponents as much as its victims because its very essence, its soul is destructive. This is now beginning to happen in many extremist groups who are getting eliminated by fighting with each other. Unfortunately, the administration for reasons best known to them did not root out the evil forces at the outset and now they have spawned in many places, throwing an open challenge and  visibly stalling the growth and development of the country.
 
            With such grisly incidents so far confined to some regions of India, mainly Gujarat, Orissa or Assam, the evil forces have now crossed the border making its ugliest appearance in Chittagong, Khulna, Bagerhat, Jhenidah and Pabna. The nation went numb with shock and horror because all these dastardly actions were anathema to our usual belief and tradition. In Chittagong region such criminal practices were not uncommon these days. Sensing dangers lurking all around, three teenage girls in Tejendra Shil's house were given night shelter in their uncle's pucca house close to their residence. The mauraders did not possibly know about it and frustrated they went on the rampage. The P.M. performing Umrah at the Holy Kaba Sharif was shocked beyond measure and instructed the Home Minister and other Ministers belonging to Chittagong region to personally visit the site of carnage at Chittagong. But the P.M. could have done something more as the Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee did to put all cristicism to rest in the sensational Staines murder case at Orissa in 1999. When the needle of suspicion in the murder of Christian missionary Staines and his two sons was being pointed to the Bajrang Dal, very much an outfit of RSS, linked to the ruling BJP, the Indian Prime Minister other than sending three important cabinet ministers to the remotest Manoharpur village of Orissa, announced a judicial probe headed by a Supreme Court judge. Mentionably Staines along with his two sons Phillip (10) and Timothy (7), were burnt alive in a station wagon they were sleeping in that fateful night, while out on missionary work in a jungle  region of Orissa.
 
            Before the horror, shock and grief could die down the nation learnt with stunned disbelief two more attempts of burning to death by setting ablaze three houses at Jhalakati and Pabna, the first one relating to pervious conflict and the last two totally clueless. In the burning case that shook Pabna, two innocent housewives and one child, fast asleep in that fateful might in their thatched houses were burnt to death, while the father of the child, a day labourer was away to Rajshahi. Criminals were there in the past. But most shockingly, criminals involved in most of the tragic incidents in recent time are innately evil and even pathologically delinquent. In the Rampura area of the city, Rahmat Ali, a jhoot businessman was shot by some extortionists in the area. But the most tragic end came when the extortionist group again swooped on him while he was recuperating in the post operative ward of the Mahakhali lung disease hospital and shot him to death in presence of his wife and daughter on the next day.
 
Not even the harshest words could measure up to the indignation felt in either at Banskhali  killing or the killing of Rahmat Ali at the IDH hospital at Mahakhali. Banskhali  has again surfaced in the news headlines for another  most atrocious incident. On the night of Eid-ul-Fitr a teenage girl Rafeza was tortured to death after she was gang raped by four hoodlums. The gaping injury on her body and the brutality perpetrated on her remind us that barbarians are now living in Bangladesh. This is a sort of killing that belongs to the world's inventory of black deeds. As the wave of condemnation rattles the whole country, people describe such killing as most barbaric and a savagery of its worst kind. One might call it as a monumental aberration of time-tested tolerance and harmony of rural model of peaceful living. The spurt of violence, arson and killing relating to partisan politics, extremist movement and religion-related violence is more than alarming. Once known as the most resilient country, that has weathered many crises like liberation struggle, famines, sleazy politicians, insensitive administration, discord of the type we are witnessing now whether it is religion-related or sectarian violence terrifies us the most. It is the only thing that can tear this country apart.
 
            The country does have people belonging to many faiths, sects and communities and they are spread all over this land. But when sectarian vengeance, communal discord, or partisan conflicts become major issues and politicians gain by fanning such discord, civil  society as we know it, begins to unravel. We have seen this in the violence and ruthless elimination tactics of an entire nation resorted to by the infamous Pakistani rulers in 1971 on religion issue in Bangladesh, violence against the Sikhs in India in 1984 and in the riots that followed the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodha in 1992. Now once again there is a feeling of uneasiness in the air in our country..
 
As the cycle of violence and killing continues in Chittagong   and some other regions in the country, the reason put forward for Banskhali  massacre as something related to dacoity is far from convincing. Overwhelmed by poverty, illiteracy loss of farmland, drought, erosion and natural ravages, Chittagong and some other regions in the country are low on general expectations and high on religious fervour. People want to know for certain the reason that triggered the massacre either at Banskhali or Jhalakathi or Pabna. Undeniably true, all these dastardly incidents appear to be only the logical culmination of years of apathy toward some major issues which has totally discredited the administration and allowed criminals and armed gangs to hold sway in the country. The recent killings have deepened the religion-political divide and hatred in the country more than ever and that's a dangerous symptom for the nation to survive and foster development. As the country waits for the harsh truth to emerge, it can only rue the fact that differences or conflict can be resolved by roasting people to death or slaughtering   them to pieces.
