Holes in the BKSALI Professor Abdul Mannan's History Works.
Professor Mannan,
Please note that in my previous comment there is nothing personal when I wrote "Holes in the BKSALI Professor Abdul Mannan's History Works." I was only making remarks on your works, particularly about your writing style.
I know that personally you are a admirable individual but as you are aware that many readers of your colum find your type of work as more of propaganda than works in history. As a teacher by profession, and a former Vice Cencellor, most readers wouldn't be expecting you to mislead them. However, if you publish your works in the opinion colum of newspapers nobody would be complainning about it. You can remind the newspapers that prints your articles to publish them in their opinion column, otherwise it is you who is going to lose credibility.
Our feedbacks are to help you strengthen your writing style, because there is a difference between writing in English and analytical writing. In analytical writing ( I am sure you are aware) you are expected to check the strengths and weaknesses between two opposing sides to draw your conclusion. In such writings you are not expected to take sides.
In no respect I see myself qualified to give advise a professor,therefore the above is only my personal understanding of the nature of your works.
Regards
AB

Mr. Abdul Mannan,The absense of popular daily "Amar Desh' from your daily reading list proves that, you are a fervent believer of Awami/Baksali idiolgy. That's ytour right ,I have nothing to say about it, I respect that option. Readers will judge your comment accordingly. I believe that , you are not an independent writer and will becompensated by 'Bharotbondhu' Hasina if not received yet. Beling a believer of Bangladeshi nationalism I read regularly Awami mouthpiece "Jonokontho" in addtion to myfavourite daily's Jonokontho, Amader Shomoy, ManoZamin. Prothom Alo, Noya Digonto.Your Netri rewarded most Awami supporters in last three years, she kept her promise.Do you think Awami League will rule forever in Bangladesh ?If the answer is "No" will you still support Awami policies blindly ?Many thanks.Sincerely,M.AnwarUSA

Where a column is sent is the prerogative of the author and should not be of the reader. The reader has the choice of not reading it. Everyday I keep eight dailies and Amardesh/ Sangram/Naya Diganta are not in my list.
Warm wishes.
