Solutions to Tipaimukh Dam and other problems by India: Listen to Bhasani
Abid Bahar
There has been protests and demonstrations going on all over Bangladesh and in abroad by Bangladeshis against India's Tipai mukh dan construction. There had been similat protests against Farakka dam previously but little was done by India. For its objective is to turn Bangladesh into a dependent state of India, Bangladesh a "bottomless bascate case".True, India Doctrine dictates India not to listen to Bangladesh no matter what we do, especially when it had Hasina's AL and its giant proi ndian support base, The Daily Star, The Prothom Alo and several other media keep the focus on War crime tribunal etc and the international media ready to listen mosly to what India has to say. .
Despite all that please don't forget India bought almost everything including the power hungry opportunists politicians and the military but except our people. At this juncture of our critical period we must do what Bhasani instructed us such as to use gherao and the boycotting of goods in this case the imported Indian goods in Bangladesh. and gherao Ashuganj port etc. There have been suggestions to burn imported goods from India as a symbolic gesture. I don't encourage Bangladeshis to burn anything especially imported saris. This was not Bhasani's technique. Bhasani's technique was not violent. We can use his idea of having fire in our heart ( Jalao, Jalao, Agun Jalao) techniques to unite the nation against Indian water aggression. Listen to what Bhasani said, " Freedom Struggle continues." True, we fought against Pakistan now we have nonviolent cold war going on against India, "freedom struggle continues".

The following is an article I wrote several years ago on this topic but could still be relevant.
