Re: [chottala.com] FW: Bangla Bihar Urissa - one country before.



 
Dear Chottala Readers
 
Bangla, Bihar, & Urisssa was never one country ... These regions were
under one ruler, even that was only for about 43 years (1717-1751). 
 
Maratha Rule: Orissa was subsequently ceded to the Maratha in 1751,
when Nawab Alivardi Khan had to buy peace from Maratha by allowing
concessions.[Recall  Borgi Domon by Alivardi Khan - 'Borgis' was the
term given to bands of Maratha plunderers who extorted revenue from the
villages in suba Bangla.

Chele ghumalo para juralo
Borgi elo deshe.
Bulbulite dhan kheyeche
Khajna debo ke'she!
Dhan furalo, pan furalo
Abar debo ki?
Ar ko'ta din shobur koro --
Roshun bunechi.
relates to these maratha bandits]
 [Marathas in Bengal 1731-1760]
 
As a matter of fact, during Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah's reign (April 4,1756 to
July 2, 1757) the Orissa was not under the control of Murshidabad
(as such the verbage "Bangla, Bihar, ar Orissa-r Sesh Shadhin Nawab
is a little  mismomer later introduced by Bengali nationalist historians
and  by D.L. Roy in his epoch-making Drama SirajuDollah )
 
Bihar was conceded to the British after in the Battle of Buxer
in  1764 by Mir-Qasim who earlier shifted his capital to Munger
from Murshidabad.
 
Background of Murshidabad Nawabs:
 
Initially,t Murshid Quli Khan was the Subahdar of Orissa and Nazim of
Bengal. Murshid Quli Khan was grandson of famous maratha general
Mohammed Quli Khan (formerly Netaji Palkar)
Murshid Quli Khan was gradually consolidating his position. In 1717,
he renamed his capital city from Makhsusabad to Murshidabad
(after himself). The then Mughal Emperor Farrukh Siyar granted formal
approval to this (symbolic) change of name, paving the way for Murshid
Quli Khan to become the de-facto Nawab of Bengal.
After the Battle of Buxer in 1764, which was fought in Buxer 115 km from
Patna, the Mughals as well as the Nawabs of Beengal lost effective control
over the territories then constituting the province of Bengal, which currently
comprises the Indian States of West Bengal, Bihar, Jarkhand, Orissa
and Bangladesh. The British East India Company was accorded the rights,
that is, the right to administer the collection and management of revenues
of the province of Bengal, and parts of Oudh, currently comprising a large
part Uttor Prodesh. The diwani rights were legally granted by Shah Alam 
who was then the sovereign Mughal emperor of India. During the rule of
the British East India Company in Bihar, Patna emerged as one of the
most important commercial and trading centers of eastern India, preceded
only by Calcutta (now Kolkata)..

In 1765 the East India Company obtained the Dewani of Sube Bangla from the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam. From now on the Nawabs remained as mere pensioners of the British.

 

The Nawabs of Bengal 

  • Murshid Quli Khan (1717-1727)
  • Shuja-udpDin Mohammad Khan (1727-1739)
  • Sarafaraz Khan (1739-1740)
  • Alivardi Khan  (1740-1756)
  • Siuraj-ud-Daula  (1756-1757)
  • Mir Jafor Ali Khan  (1757-1760)
  • Mir Qasim  (1760-1763)
  • Mir Jafor Ali Khan  (1763-1765)
  • Najimuddin Ali Ahan  (1765-1766)
  • Najabut Ali Khan  (1766-1770)
  • Ashraf Ali Khan  (1770-1770)
  • Mubaraq Ali Khan  (1770-1793)
  • Baber Ali Khan (1793-1810)
  • Zainal Abedin Ali Khan (1810-1821)
  • Ahmed Ali Khan  (1821-1824)
  • Mubarak Ali Khan II (1824-1838)
  • Mansur Ali Khan (1838-1880 abdicated)
  • Murshid Quli Khan (1706-1725 AD), the first of the Nawabs, became the Subedar of Bengal in 1717; he reigned over Bengal, Bihar and Orissa from his capital Murshidabad (Moor-shi-da-bad) with only a nominal allegiance to the Mughal Emperor.

    Suja-ud-Din (1725-1739 AD) alias Suja Khan son-in-law of Murshid Quli Khan succeeded after Murshid Quli Khan's death. Shuja Khan was a charitable, just and impartial ruler, and gave great encouragement to learning.  He was also a patron of art and culture. After his death in 1739 AD he was buried in Roshni Bagh ( garden of lights ) near Farah Bagh. Suja-ud-Din died in 1739 and his son Sarafraj Khan ascended the throne. 
    Sarafraz Khan (1739-1740 AD) was a man of valour and of religion temperament. He received the imperial title of "Motamul-ul-Mulk, Alauddowla, Hyder Jang ( Guardian of the country, promoter of the State, Lion in War )". His short career ended in 1740 AD only after 13 months of reign when he was defeated at the battle of Giria on 9th April 1740 AD by Alivardi Khan.

    Alivardi Khan (1740-1756), then the Governor of Patna, got the Sanad as Subedar of Sube Bangla and became the Nawab by defeating and killing Sarfaraz in 1740 and ruled for 16 years thereafter. Though an efficient ruler, he had to face continual attacks by the Maratha and rebellion by the Afghans. He had to buy peace from the Maratha by allowing concessions. He maintained good relationships with the Europeans but did not allow them to increase their military power. Alivardi received the imperial title of "Suja-ul-mulk, Hasem-ud-daulla, Mahabat Jang ( Hero of the Country, Sword of the State, Horror in War )" .
    Siraj-ud-Doula (1756-57), the favourite grandson of Alivardi, ascended the throne on the death of Alivardi. The young Sultan faced the two-pronged trouble of the ambitions of the increasingly powerful British and the intrigue of his disgruntled relatives and bureaucrats.

    Mir-Jafar (1757-1760 AD and 1763-1765 AD) was incompetent ruler even as a puppet. The British replaced him with his son-in-law Mir-Qasim in 1760 on account of non-payment of dues. Mir-Qasim paid the dues off but started to show signs of independence. He shifted his capital to Monghyr in Bihar and tried to reorganise his own army. The British did not approve of this and defeated Mir-Qasim in the Battle of Buxar in 1764.Mir-Qasim  was a man of strong passions as well as of resolution. He received the title of "Nasir-ul-Mulk, Etmaz-ud-Daulla, Ali Jah, Nasrut Jang ( Victor of the Country, Politician of the State, of high rank, Victorious in War )"  Mir-Jafar regained the crown. He died the following year. This was followed by a number of Nawabs in succession who were merely puppets.
    Najam-ud-Doula (1756-1766 AD): After the death of Mir-Jafar, "Shuja-ul-Mulk, Najam-ud-Daulla, Mahabat Jang ( Hero of the Country, Star of the State, Horror in War )" Nawab Najam-ud-Doula the son of Mir-Jafar became the Nawab of Bengal, only at the age of 15. He used to get a pension of Rs 53, 86, 161 per annum. On the 8th of May of the 1766 AD Najam-ud-Doula died of fever caught at a party given in honor of Clive on his way through Murshidabad to Lucknow,  and was buried in Jafarganj Mokbara on the west of Mir Jafar's grave.


    Saif-ud-Doula (1766-1770 AD): After the death of Najam-ud-daulla, his younger brother "Syef-ul-Mulk, Shuja-ud-Daulla, Shahmat Jang ( Sword of the Country, Hero of the the State, Arrow in War )" Nawab Saif-ud-Doula was placed on the Throne at an age of 17 years. He used to get a pension of Rs 41,86,131 per annum. In 1769, a great epidemic of small pox raged in Murshidabad and one of the victims being Nawab Saif-ud-Doula himself. After the death of Saif-ud-Doula Mubarak-ud-Doula another son of Mir-Jafar ascended the throne at the age of 17 only. He died  in 1793 AD and was succeeded by his sonBabar Ali who reigned till 1810 AD. He received the imperial title of "Nasir-ul-Mulk, Azud-ud-Daulla, Delar Jang ( Helper of the Country, Arrow of the State, Brave in War )". after Babar-Ali his eldest son Zainuddin Ali Khan, known as Ali Jan became the nawab.  On 6th August 1821 Ali-Jah died after prolonged illness. Syud Ahmed Ali Khan, known as Wala Jah, second son of Babar Ali, succeeded  the Throne on the death of his brother, Ali Jah, in 1821 AD.

    Humayun Jah (1824-1838 AD) : Mubarak Ali Khan, better known as Humayun Jah, ascended the Throne of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa after the death of his father, Wala Jah, in 1824 AD. He received the imperial title of "Shuja-ul-Mulk, Ihtisham-ud-Daulla, Humayun Jah, Feroze Jang ( Hero of the Country, Dignifier of the Country, of auspicious rank, Victor in War )". The present Palace of Hazarduari was erected during his reign, and miniature of it in ivory, prepared by Sagore Mistri, together with portraits of His Highness and his son and other presents were sent to King William IV, who honored the Nawab with the present full size portrait of His Majesty and an autograph latter and conferred upon him the badge and insignia of the Royal Guelphic and Hanoverian order, still preserved in the Palace. Humayun Jah died on the 3rd October, 1838 AD, leaving behind him his son, Mansur Ali Khan alias Feradun Jah and his Daughter Sultana Ghetiara Begam.

    Feradun Jah (1838-1881 AD): Syud Mansur Ali Khan, known as Feradun Jah,  succeeded his father, Humayun Jah, while yet a minor and only eight years old, on 1838 AD. Feradun Jah founded the Nizamat School and the Nizamat College, now known as the Nawabs high School and the Nawabs Madrassa, respectively. He died on the 5th of  November, 1884 AD. Nawab Ali Kadr Syud Hassan Ali Meerza Bahadur who succeeded his father, Feradun Jah, the last Nawab Nazim of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, on his retirement in 1880 AD, was born on the 25th of August 1846 AD.

    Dear chottala readers,

    I fully agree with dina khan about her/his viewpoint that Bangla, Bihar, Urissa was combindly one country before ruled by Nowab Siraj Uddowllah. First British people under the notorious trader Robert Clive took our country from Nowab Siraj Udoowllah. Now India kept Bihar and Urissa under their occupation. The suggestion put forward by dina khan is a right suggestion as the whole of this Bangla, Bihar, Urissa should not be ruled now by Delhi or Pindi. Bihar and Urissa should be out from the controlling of Delhi and should be with Bangladesh to make their original Bangla Bihar Urissa as one country.

    dina khan rightly says "It now should be ruled from Dhaka or Morshidabad under one central Parliamentarian Government CONSIDERING BANGLA BIHAR & URISHA as Provincials states of Bengal Bihar Urisha country with THE PROVINCIAL CAPITALS at KOLKHATA, PATNA & URIA ruling under the central Parliamentarian Government from Dhaka or Mushidabad".

    Dowllah.

    Re: PREPOSTEROUS assumption [chottala.com] Hi Syed Aslam & other all...Zia vs Zafar -the true author flies by night



    Please allow me to add fuel to the fire.......as a bystander I just had a big laugh at how one would make a 'Jack Ass' (pardon my french!)out of himself/hersel to prove a point with name calling: stupid/idiots, etc. Then making preposterous assumptions - "real father of Democracy", "independence because of ", etc. 
     
    1. Let's see, where did democratic form of govt., as we emulate nowadays first took hold?  It was not in the so called Great Britain, actually it was a revolt by the subjects in the colony against the British masters! Here's a quote from King George III, Feb. 15, 1775 regarding the democratic aspiration of the subjects, "(O)nce vigorous measures appear to be the only means left to bringing the Americans to a due submission to the mother country, the colonies will submit." The atrocities (documented) committed by the British red army during the War of American Independence went to the extent of killing children in mother's arm! .....and worse were done in the Indian sub-continent by the same masters! I find it preposterous to even suggest that somehow the same parasitic masters would handover democracy to the subcontinent. In reality they did everything opposite - after divide, rule and sucking the life out for 150 years, .....then they had "permanently divided and left the subcontinent in perpetual battle"!! 
     
    2. To add salt to the wound, the descendants of the parasitic masters nowadays come to rescue the subcontinent when there's a famine, war, etc......What is truly needed is the 150 years of back-pay first, (just like the Jews had been doing to get their money back from the Germans (and other Europeans) those were taken away in WWII). After payment, I would be open to talk about democracy, and this discussion had been very skillfully diverted by the Parasites by creating an environment of divisions and infighting in the subcontinent ....... 
     
    3. It was the WWII that had played a consequential role in the Indian sub-continent's independence. In short, the British was weakened by the war and the Indian political leaders of the time took advantage of the situation.......do not see a substantial link here with Zafar, Siraj or whoever, just a dot in the time line. Couple of years ago, my elementary school daughter had an assignment to write about something real about the experience of a family member. She had picked my father, her Dada to share one of his experience. He had narrated his experience about the British Govt. created famine in the WWII where more Indians died of the famine than the war itself, very little was documented about this tragic period. To me it was an eye opener, did not even realize how inhumanely the British had starved to death millions of Indians under the pretext of War,  ......and you think these same blood suckers were going to give Indians democracy!! 
     
    In my view, I think we would have been better off with the hot headed Siraj's gang than being 'Kulis' to the British masters for 150 years, then turned into a 3rd world country. Sure we would have made mistakes, and on the way would have kicked out the rulers in course of time like many other countries did.....it would had been a natural progression.
     
    By the way, lack of democracy in the middle east is directly related Oil. Example: Bahrain is considered the most democratic country in the middle east, and they ran out of oil few years ago! Iran had a democratic govt. in 1952, again for oil, it was forced to lose it's democracy.....(This is a different subject).

    Hi Syed Aslam & other all

    Mir Jafor Ali Khan (Mir Jafor) was the experience & cool brain wise person. But Siraj was inexperience & knowledge less young hot brain Nowab If Mr. Mir Jafor (Mir Jafor Ali Khan) did not part against hot brain Nowab Siraj in Polish war then still whole India would rule by the Nowab Badsha like Middle East & Afghanistan. Still the state languages  whole India would remain Farsi & Urdu. Still whole India would rule by Rajakar & Albadar Alshams.

    Actually Mir Jafor Ali Khan is the real father of democracy in Bangladesh India & Pakistan

     Bangladesh India could never get Independence as democratic country. So it can be told that

     Mir Jafor Ali Khan is the great grand father of Sonar Bengal.& India

     

    Comparing Mr. Mujib with Mr. Siraj Uddullaw is a stupid & foolish work of the idiot people because. Mr. Siraj was not the public leader & not the public politician. He was the grand son of Nowab Ali Bordi Khan & he became nowab as inherit. But Mr. Sheik Mujib was not grand son of any Nowab He was the people's leader & people' politician He became president of People's Republic Bangladesh elected by the mass people of Bangladesh not became Nowab as inherit of any Nowab.

    AGC has written Drama polasi teka danmodindi comparing mujib with siraj as because he is a number one short knowledge person. So he does not know & does not understand what the fundamental difference between mujib & siraj. & he does also not understand& has no idea

    What contribution was given by Mr Mir jafor not supporting siraj in polashi war? He did not realize that Nowab Siraj could not speak in Bengal. His mother tongue was Farsi. If Mir Jafor Ali Khan did support Mr. Siraj in Polashi War then still the state languages in whole India would remain Farsi & Urdu under the control of Rajakars Albadar & Alshams. He (ACG in London) could never write in Bangla.

     

    Please don't should be stupid idiot

    Be wise & try to read to learn for knowing the actual history the real truth & the actual facts.

    Dear All
    The article [Zia vs Zafar]  was posted verbatim as it appeared
    in NFB and properly referenced :
     
     
    There was no intention of defaming Barrister. MBI Munshi or
    hurt his credibility with BNP or  with Pakistan Defence Forum.
     
    However, the author of the NFB article is from Tikatuly.,,,
    could very well be a different person.... The article was first
    published in 2005 during Hawa Bhobon regime .. may be
    the real  writer feared for his life....In any case,
    What's in a name!!!!!! ... I found the article to be a "must
    read for reaches across the aisle" .
     
    I will post the article again at an appropriate time,
    of course, this time with the note clarifying  real
    Barrister MBI Munshi's position. 
    .....
    I  accepted Barrister MBI Munshi's denials:
    As such I sent a rejonder which was published in Chottala:
     
     
    It reads:
    ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ==
    Dear All
     
    On a point of order, I must tell you that Barrister MBI Munshi, ( who is frequent contributer to Pakistan Defence Forum  ) denies authoring the "piece".
     
    In his denial he says: "That is a fake and fabricated write-up. I never wrote such an article. This is the third time in 4 years that this article has appeared in my name. It has been circulated by RAW to discredit me and the BNP. I disown it and its contents and reject any association with it. Regards. MBI Munshi ....."
     
    However, many points contained in the article is very much
    plausible and thought-provoking ....

    Thanks for everyone's patience.
    Syed Aslam
    ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ==
     
    I wiil still emphasize that many points contained therein are plausible and thought-provoking. ... The article was a very good 
    Exposé on Ziaur Rahman.
     
    Besides, there is another important point that can not be ruled out.
    Ziaur Rahman himself was a Paki-infiltrator who was inducted in our
    Liberation War by the Pakistan's military intelligence by the way of deception. [One principle of covert action: -
    "By way of deception, thou shalt do war" ......... ] 
    Zia was trained as an intelligence officer, never a front-line
    combatant.. He received Hilal-I-Jurat for his yeoman intelligence
    services .......Zia eventually tried to implement his real master's agenda: Pakistanization of Bangladesh. .......
     
    At the end, :"Killer Ziaur was a corrupt power monger with no
    ideological honesty. Ziaur, a Pakistani infiltrator, turned into a
    shrewd politician and have tried "anything and everything" to    
    consolidate his power.  "
     
    Regards.

    Dear Editor
    Please publish my comments about the above topic originally posted by a person known to us as Syed Aslam.
    Abid Bahar
    ------------ --------- --------- -------
    Comment:
    To my knowledge, the article was not written by MBI Munshi. I remember, immediately after it was published on the NFB, MBI Munshi sent a rejoinder denying its authorship. In addition, MBI Munshi as we all know is neither a diehard AL nor even a supporter of the AL party. His position on Zia is not as fascist in nature as it shows in the article. Clearly it was contributed by somebody else who is knowledgable  but flies by night.
     
    Knowing it very well that the article is not MBI Munshi's this is the second time Syed Aslam has been sending us this article.
     
    For the readers knowledge, in the past Syed Aslam himself used two names in the Notun Bangladesh forum. I kept the information and about his own acknowledgement that he was using two names. After this event in the said forum, to avoid any further frudelent behavior from members, the editor asked the members to give their original names, location and the professional background. Syed Aslam declined to do so. We don't know why and if he is an author he should be clear atleast to the editors.
     
    It appears that Syed Aslam is sending the frudelent article Zia and Zafor to win his side of the story. If MBI Munshi says he didn't write the article, ( If you demand I will ask him say it again) then Syed Aslam who used to use two names  and shamelessly recycling the fake article again and again,could be the author of the article.
     
    I also would like to say that Dina Khan's comment is very thought provoking and thanks to her for giving us some food for thought over Syed Aslam's reclying of waste.
     
    In addition, I would like to say that people who write should practice intellectual honesty. Unless Syed Aslam  is working as a foreign agent to earn the bread and butter for his family, she should give his real identity. I still like to see if this gentleman called Syed Aslam has the courage to give his real name to the editors to clear up our confusion both about himself and about the fake article he is distributing.

    Hi all
    Actually Mir Jafor Ali Khan (Mir Jafor) is the real father of democracy in Bangladesh India & Pakistan. If Mr. Mir Jafor ( Mir Jafor Ali Khan) did not take part against Nowab Siraj Uddullaw in Polashi war then still whole would rule by the Nowab Badsha like Middle East & Afghanistan.  Bangladesh India could never get Independence as democratic country.
     
    Comparing Mr. Mujib with Mr. Siraj Uddullaw is a stupid & foolish work of the idiot people because. Mr. Siraj was not the public leader & not the public politician. He was the grand son of Nowab Ali Bordi Khan & he became nowab as inherit ant. But Mr. Sheik Mujib was not grand son of any Nowab He was the people's leader & people' politician He became president of people's republic Bangladesh by elected by the mass people of Bangladesh not became Nowab as inherit ant of any Nowab.
    AGC has written Drama polasi take danmodindi comparing mujib with siraj as because he is a number one short knowledge person. So he does understand what the fundamental difference between mujib & siraj. & he does not understand what contribution was given by mr mir jafor not supporting siraj in polashi war.
     
    Please all are requested
    To try know the actual history for learning the real truth.

    Zia vs Zafar

    Thursday May 05 2005 15:31:55 PM BDT

    MBI Munshi from Bangladesh

    Nabab Siraj was not an excellent ruler; East India Company and their collaborators publicized him as an eccentric autocrat. He could not save his grandfather’s kingdom from the British merchants. He was too lenient to the merchants and too naïve about their intention. Ultimately, his naiveté and lenience paid off. He lost his kingdom and life; Bangla lost its independence.

    After 100 years of bad publicity by British and their local collaborators he cam back in the pages of history as a symbol of our independence; a symbol of our lost pride.

    Modern propaganda ministers and pet historians also publicized Sheikh Mujib as a bad ruler too. People thought everything would be solved automatically after the independence, denying the fact that nation building is a long term tedious job. No nation has been developed until several decades of independence. Modern day Robert Clive, Jagat Shetth, Rajballav, etc. were working behind the scene. Eventually Mujib was pushed to establish a totalitarian system BAKSHAL; even though he said,
    â€Å"if my people don’t like it, I will revert� in a speech.

    General Zia wrote an article in Daily Bichitra supporting BAKSHAL.
    Despite being a lenient ruler he will be in the pages of history as he led the nation to independence. His vigorous stance for Bangalee rights amidst Paki generals’ red eyes will keep in the pages of history as a super hero.

    The independence lost through Siraj's defeat in 1757 was gained back by Mujib's rigid struggle for "six-point demands," win in 1970 election, unbending negotiation tactics with Paki dictators and finally the Liberation War.

    Siraj’s death led to a dark era of colonial rule. Mujib’s death prompted a U-turn from the spirit of liberation and eventually brought the War Criminals and religion traders to power. From a plural secular nation the U-turn took us back to a backward nation that is longing for 7th century style theocracy; that is intolerant to minorities (Hindus, Kadianis, etc.).

    Now the country is heading for a Taleban style revolution. The British merchants and their local collaborators like Jagat Shetth, Raj Ballabh gong and their successors, denigrated Siraj for a century after 1757. Mustaq-Zia- Ershad-Golam gong blacked out Mujib from Bangladesh for a long time after 1975. Siraj’s killer Miran, backed by British and Mir Zafar, never faced justice for killing the Nabab. Mujib’s killers, backed and rewarded by Mustaq- Zia- Ershad-Khaleeda gong escaped justice too.


    There are several analogies between Mir Zafar Ali Khan and General Ziaur Rahman.

    1. Mir Zafar acquired the Army Chief position by his good service to Murshid Kuli Khan. General Zia acquired Army Chief of Staff position by good job, as a sector commander, announcer of independence in liberation war, and afterwards serving Sheikh Mujibs government. Even appraising BAKSAL.

    2. Mir Zafar was personally a religious and honest man and was popular at his time. But, he let the British and Hindu merchants virtually loot the country. Ziaur Rahman was a financially honest man and popular, but was dishonest in every other respect. All his ministers were corrupt and some patronized dacoits like Imdu, Galkata Kamal; they virtually looted the country.

    3. Mir Zafar was the chief of Siraj’s army. General Zia was a senior general at Mujib’s time and Chief of Staff at the time of 1975 carnage.

    4. Mir Zafar remained inactive when Jagat Shetth, Raj Ballabh, and British merchants defeated Nabab. Ziaur Rahman remained inactive when Faruk-Rashid- Mushtaq gong killed Mujib, his family, and the leaders of liberation war. [killer Farooq’s clime, Bangladesh a Legacy of Blood. Zia’s response was â€Å"don’t come to me if you fail� (what a subidhabadi! )].

    5. Mir Zafar awarded the Jagat Shetth, Raj Ballabh, and British merchants afterwards, when he came to power. General Zia awarded Farooq and Rashid Bangladesh Embassies in different countries after he came to power. He rewarded the razakars and gong for their loyalty to Paki colonialists and war criminals.

    6. Mir Zafar kept silent when Miran killed Siraj. General Zia kept silent when his officers (later he made them ambassadors) killed Sheikh Mujib and leaders in the Jail.

    7. Mir Zafar let Miran escape punishment. General Zia let Farooq-Rashid gong escape justice. Zia amended the constitution to save the killers (the black Indemnity Ordinance).

    8. Mir Zafar's treason led the death of liberation itself leading to a colonial rule for centuries. Zia’s treason led the death of spirits of liberation finally taking War Criminals and traitors to power. The country is now heading towards being a black shadow of Pakistan and Talebans.

    9. Siraj was hated by the subsequent regimes like Mir Zafar and British rulers. Mujib is also blacked-out by the subsequent regimes like Zia, Ershad, Khaleda.

    10. Mir Zafar demolished "monarchy" and promoted "colonialism" , both existing in many underdeveloped countries then. General Zia demolished totalitarian BAKSHAL and promoted "militarism" , both existing in many underdeveloped countries at his time. His election fiasco made world records.

    11. Mir Zafar promoted treason, letting the Englishmen take power. He was finally hunted down by his own creation- treason. General Zia promoted killing and assassination by adopting "Indemnity Ordinance" in the constitution, freeing the punished war criminals from jails, freeing "seven murder" convict from jail, taking 11 murder convict to Hizbul Bahar, appointing the killers of Mujib in different Embassies, creating musclemen on campus. He was finally hunt down by his own creation – treason and killing. The brutality of his killing reflected his own ruthlessness towards any dissent.

    12. Mir Zafar let East Indian Company loot the country. Zia let goons and thugs loot the country. He created hundreds of bank loan defaulters by forcing banks to lend money to his party goons. He took young talents and notorious killers in the same ship â€Å"Hizbu Bahar� together and taught them evade taxes. He also freed 2 thousand criminals from jails who were not only collaborators of Paki Junta, but also took part in killing, raping, looting, and torching freedom fighters.

    ******** Here are some highlights of Zia’s Misdeeds ***********

    1. In 1975, Zia imposed the concept of Bangladeshi Nationalism in order to accommodate the Muslim Leaguers, Islamic fundamentalist groups, pro-Chinese leftists (all anti liberation forces) in national politics so as to subvert the mainstream secular political trends achieved through the liberation war.

    2. Literally made politics difficult by investing large amount of foreign aids to buy over opposition political leaders in order to form his own political party the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). He made the nation too much dependent on foreign aid.

    3. As a part of his political scheme, Zia rehabilitated all the returned Bangladeshi (from Pakistan after 1975) civil and military bureaucrats in top administrative positions to change the orientation of the state machineries. In 1975, Zia formed an administrative reorganization committee to rehabilitate the anti liberation forces in administration. The convener of the committee was Kazi Anwarul Haque, (later Zia's personal adviser). All the members of the committee were well-known pro-Pakistani civil and military bureaucrats: Commodore MH Khan, Air Vice Marshal MG Towab, Dr MN Huda and Zia himself.

    Prof Emajuddin Ahmed pointed out that out of 31 top advisers /ministers of Zia 19 were strongly anti Bangladesh. In this regard a comment by Prof Musharaf Hossain is relevant: "......the most distinguished people Zia invited to join his government, after his r! ise to power in 1975, were Justice Sattar, Kazi Anwarul Huq, Hafiz Uddin, Mirza Nurul huda, Mohd Shamsul Haque, Shafiul Azam, Azizul Huq, Zahirul huq and so on. All of them worked as loyal associates of General Ayub /Yahyah during Pakistan period. They were famous for their so called "honesty and "efficiency" . They were experts on "Pakistan Model" and did not have any qualms about the methods of realizing "Pakistani Development Model" in Bangladesh. But it was difficult to know about their attitude to an event called liberation war..."

    4. Zia ruthlessly eliminated the remaining Muktijoddha (pro liberation) officers in the army, navy and air force (in 1977, a total of 1143 air force officers and soldiers, former freedom fighters, were killed in firing squad under Zia's instruction ).
    5. Zia removed secularism from Bangladesh constitution and replaced it with Islam (Bismillah).

    6. Zia corrupted the youths through greed. He established "youth complex" to lease the "khaas" lands to youths. He bought musclemen on campus and ruined young talents like Golam Farooq Ovi. He took the young talents to Hizbul Bahar to give them a chance for tax-free shopping and attract them by greed. In Hizbul Bahar young talents were kept in the same cabin with notorious murderers in parole.

    7. Zia ruined the system crucial for democracy: the election system. He was first to use bureaucratic machinery to manipulate votes: in the referendum of 1977 Zia got 98.88% votes (88.5% registered votes) whereas in the 1970 election, at the height of the nationalist movement, Sheikh Mujib received only 55.09% of the registered votes.

    8. On November 9, 1975 Zia dissolved the commission for investigation of the murder of four national leaders in Dhaka central jail. The aftermath was more political killings.

    9. During Zia's regime the size of the defense forces was increased by 300 times.

    10. By May, 1976, Zia conferred the war criminals constitutional rights to vote and involve in political activities in Bangladesh. General Zia's:
    a. Second proclamation order no.3 of 1976 overwrote section 38, which had abolished religion based politics.
    b. Second proclamation addressing section 122 reestablished the right of war criminals to vote
    c. Proclamation order no.1 of 1977 overwrote certain points in section 66, which addressed the rights of war criminals to contest elections.
    d. On 18 January, 1976, the war criminals were asked by the ministry to apply for citizenship
    e. Proclamation Order no.1 of 1977 eliminated section 12 of the constitution

    11. Zia let the killers of Sheikh Mujib escape from Bangladesh and rewarded them with diplomatic posts and status in various foreign missions of Bangladesh.

    12. Under Zia's instruction the history text books in schools and colleges were altered and the political events between language movement and 27 March, 1971 were deleted. Sheikh Mujib was portrayed as the agent of the Hindus, a tyrant and an anarchist (same perception by Yahyah and his cronies).

    13. Zia's pretext for taking over the political power was to declare war against the corruption by the politicians. Stamp corruption out was his slogan, but ironically Zia regime took the least actions against corruption as the following table shows:
    Cases of corruption and punishment in four regimes (1972-94)
    year regime case
    c'sheet
    charge
    Case c/s
    Punishment against ch'ge sheet %

    4746
    4403
    989
    92.46
    22.46
    20.84

    14. Zia turned the historical racecourse ground where Sheikh Mujib organized one of the largest protest rallies of human history, into a children's park (financed by Saudi Arabia) in his process to distort the history of Bangladesh.

    15. In 1977, all the recorded (celluloid ) documents on liberation war (1952-1971) were destroyed from the FDC archive under the express order by the then president, General Ziaur Rahman

    16. Zia set the trend of cutting trees and concretization of Dhaka city. This urban jejuneness is the projection of Zia's inner void.

    17. Like a tin soldier Zia was a coward despite his outward appearance of a military mucho man. Inspired by the spirit of the liberation war, many freedom fighters married helpless, socially rejected Bangalee women, victims of the war. But being a self proclaimed captain of the war, Zia refused to accept his wife as she was confined in Dhaka cantonment during the war. After the war Sheikh Mujib had to convince Zia to accept his wife. But Zia never accepted his wife wholeheartedly and maintained a palsied relationship with her until his death.

    Some critiques argue that General Zia was the 20th century version of Mir Zafar. Recent BBC survey on the best Bangalee of all times conforms Mujib’s come-back like Siraj.

    [chottala.com] Controversy of Muchai Gas Pipeline Compressor Station of GTCL



     
    Controversy of Muchai Gas Pipeline Compressor Station of GTCL
    Engr. Khondkar A Saleque 
     

     

    One Bangladesh Daily now being spearheaded by Engr. Mahmudur Rahman ex Energy Advisor to PM Khaleda Zia and now columnist recently carried out a report on alleged corruption in the deal with IOC Chevron regarding installation of a Gas Pipeline Compressor Station on GTCL operated national Gas Grid. The report indicated an alleged 5 Million Us $ financial scam against son of PM Hasina Sajib Wajed Joy and his Energy Advisor Dr Tawfique-E–Elahi Chowdhury. The report quoted unidentified Petrobangla officials making the allegation using Petrobangla letter head pad. Petrobangla and EMRD sources have already refuted that allegation. Dr Tawfique also expressed surprise and indicated his intention to deal with that matter legally. The matter has got further spices as leader of the opposition also got involved through making a statement condemning alleged threat to Engr Mahmudur by two ministers for printing the report.

    In a democratic country, in a free society any one has right to express opinion on any issue. But media must check and publish news after proper verifications. When such allegations are made against senior policy makers they should be heard before printing such sensitive news. We are not aware whether these were done. On the other hand ministers or government officials can always issue rejoinders and take legal actions.

    The allegations against PM Hasina's son Joy has been made at a time when a section of political leaders are discussing the BNP decision to make ex PM Khaleda's son Tareq the senior Vice chairman of BNP. Several reports are appearing in media about many alleged acts of corruption of Hawa Bhaban which used to be the seat of corruption during BNP- Jamat rule. The report was also published at a time When Dr Tawfiq was busy with a Bangladeshi Road Show seeking investment for Energy sector in London.


    This purpose of this write up is not defending or alleging any one. This author initiated the Gas Pipeline Compressor station Project of GTCL in 2004 as Director (Operation) and Project Manager. Some issues of controversy are being discussed here.

    Chevron or any other US company can not bribe any company anywhere as per business ethics. Think of Enron Scandal in India, think of Seimens scandal world over.US auditing system will unearth any wrong doings and the company concerned will have serious damage to its business. Since a Bangladeshi newspaper has raised this issue it will be definitely dealt with appropriately. Persons concerned against whom the allegation has been made may also take legal recourse if they have sufficient grounds to defend themselves.

    But considering the sensitivity of the matter let us try to discuss the matter in some depths.GTCL is a 100% Bangladesh government owned company entrusted to build , own, operate and maintain all Gas transmission pipelines and ancillary facilities. It has natural monopoly of Gas Transmission in Bangladesh. Since formation in 1993 it has taken over transmission assets from other companies and is operating national gas grid. It has implemented and is implementing several gas transmission infrastructures.GTCL evacuates Gas from all production Companies (National or IOCs) and transports through its grid to downstream Distribution Companies. The battery limit of production companies are the downstream flanges of Custody Transfer metering stations. Beyond these the production companies have no scope to infringe GTCL premises.

    Chevron like other IOCs can explore and develop any gas prospect in its assigned blocks under Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with Petrobangla and Government of Bangladesh. GTCL or any other PB company have no contractual link with Chevron or any IOC.Gas produced by IOCs is traded with Petrobangla under specific Gas Purchase and Sales Agreement (GPSA) applicable for a particular gas field. IOCs explore and develop Gas fields under cost recovery which is made from Petrobangla share of Gas from the field included in PSC and GPSA. IOCs make upfront investment in survey, exploration and development of gas fields. They may construct sales line to deliver gas to designated locations of national gas grid. Chevron built such sales lines in Jalalabad, Moulavibazar and Bibiyana Gas Field under cost recovery.

    GTCL in 2004 using gas system simulation software acquired from Cairn through PB carried out extensive simulation work of national gas grid in the wake of gas transmission crisis. It was found that system upgrading would be essential by 2008 to evacuate possible additional gas available from greater Sylhet areas for transmission to expanding gas markets in South East, North West and Central Areas of Bangladesh. Several gas transmission pipelines and three Pipeline Compressor stations were identified. At that stage Moulavibazar Gas field was under development and talks on Bibiyana development was at matured stage.

    We, ten Gas Engineers (6 no longer in Bangladesh Gas Sector) were exposed to Gas Transmission technology during 12 weeks training on Gas Transmission with leading West European Gas Transmission Company Gasuine BV, the Netherlands in 1988. Later in 1995 we also visited some major Compressor stations in Alberta Canada. In 2003 we visited Williams operated Compressor station in Washington and in 2004 we spent a day in PETRONAS Compressor station in Kualalampoor.Based on our experience and analysing the comparative cost and benefits of Compressor stations and additional loop lines we struggled to convince very naïve PB management at that time to opt for three compressor stations at Muchai, Ashuganj and Elenga. The Compressor stations were required to be operational by April 2008. ADB engaged consultant also endorsed our recommendation. It was included in ADB funded Gas Sector Development Project. Engr Mahmudur Rahman must have thorough knowledge of it. This author explained to him the utility of Pipeline Compressor stations at a presentation in Ashuganj Gas Manifold Station SCADA control room in July 2005.Unfortunately this author could not continue working in GTCL beyond August 2005 due to naked politicization of energy sector management.

    GTCL management and PB struggled with Compressor project. In 2006 some acts of manipulations in its tendering process was identified and ADB forced government to cancel the bid and go for retender. The prolonged tendering process took several years. By early 2009 GTCL was in a position to award the works to the evaluated lowest bidder Hyundai, Korea. But their quoted price was about 2.8 times of GTCL estimate. A section of PB officials were not in favour of awarding this tender to technically qualified lowest bidder. But they were keen to procure very expensive line pipes for other components of the project. As downstream pipelines without setting up compressor stations would not serve any purpose sensible professionals suggested to redirect some money that could be saved from line pipe purchase through implementing pipeline projects in phases and redirect fund to compressor project.

    Unfortunately one identified corrupt senior executive of gas sector was very keen to buy expensive pipes rather than to invest on urgent compressor stations. Fair and Honest PB Chairman Mr Jalal Ahmed who was not in the game was removed to create situation for the corrupt official take control. GTCL board meeting saw divided opinion. In the very first meeting chaired by that identified corrupt official GTCL proposal to ward Compressor project to evaluated lowest bidder was cancelled. In the meantime that official utilising his official capacity obtained a proposal from Chevron to build Muchai Compressor station under Cost recovery.

    There were several media reports stating the wrong doing. PSC does not authorise IOCs to build any transmission facility beyond its battery limit.GTCL has no contractual dealings with IOCs. Moreover the estimated cost of Chevron proposed Compressor station at Muchai is relatively higher. Recommendations of project consultant and GTCL committee were ignored.

    Despite all above the controversial proposal to allow Chevron build a GTCL component of a project was approved. Compressor station at Muchai if built by 2008 was justified. Gas transmission by this time would have tuned with downstream market demand pattern. It could improve delivery pressure and evacuate stranded gas over the last two years to benefit downstream. But the present situation does not warrant the requirement of such expensive station at Muchai at all.

    Cost of steel at world market has gone down significantly after 2008 Beijing Olympics. If line pipes were tendered after 2008 Bangladesh could buy pipes at much lower price. But some smart people took the nation for a ride.


    We can not believe that advisor to PM and PM's son can be bribed by Chevron. But some person somewhere must have been benefitted in some way in the entire episode of failed Gas Transmission Development Project of ADB. For transparency, the entire issue may be investigated. Media should also act responsibly to dig out the wrong doing in this deal.

    Failure of GTDP project as per original implementation schedule is mainly responsible for present massive gas crisis – energy crisis. Properly structured national committee must investigate the reasons of the failure and punish the mischief mongers.
