Bangladesh "Victory Day" of 16th December

By Showkat Ali

Al-Jazeerah, December 4, 2006



On the 16th of December millions of people in Bangladesh and Bangladeshis around the world will celebrate Victory day. On this day in 1971, the Pakistani army surrendered to the Indo-Bangladeshi High Command in Dhaka, ending a 9 month war of independence. Pakistani General AAK Niazi surrendered officially to the Allied forces commander General Arora.

Bangladesh gained independence after 9 months of a long and bloody struggle. India also commemorates victory over Pakistan on the same day in 1971 on Vijay Diwas.

I as a Muslim, born in Britain whose parents are from Bangladesh do not celebrate this day nor regard it as a day of victory. How can their be victory and celebration when one Muslim country is divided and separated into 2 parts?

Nationalism divides Muslims and keeps us weak while unity and regulation of society based upon Islam unites and strengthens us.

InshAllah Pakistan will be re-unified again soon and millions of us East Pakistani Muslims make dua and work for unity again based upon the teachings of Islam and nothing else.

Below is a poem which I wrote to mark this sad anniversary which I hope will inshAllah be the last.

I am East Pakistan

Created in 1947

Torn from mother India

And divided from my brother

West Pakistan

By several thousand miles of hostile territory



Land which was once ours

Under the glorious Islamic rule

Taken away by western powers

Who looted and polluted

All of our resources and way of life and values



When we woke up and challenged their injustice

They responded with barbarism

But Allah was with us

And they fled and sailed away

With only a token force remaining

Leaving behind a trail of destruction

And religions at each others throats.



Divide and conquer

Their contribution to humanity

And greatest achievement



A great continent once ruled by Islam

Where it didn’t matter

What religion or no religion you followed

Coz u were a citizen of the Islamic state

An example of multiculturalism

Never witnessed since



They divided a great country into two but created three separate parts

Millions died

But to them it didn’t matter

They saw us as uncivilised animals

And no one sheds tears when dogs die.



East and West Pakistan was soon born

But only to be torn

In 1971

Based on regionalism, nationalism, discrimination and exploitation

They had planted the seeds of division as a solution in 47



Brother hated brother

One brother sought help from the Hindus

And they were happy to contribute to the bloodshed



The victors celebrated

But both sides lost the pleasure of Allah

Insulting a Muslim is a sin

And killing a Muslim is disbelief



Since 71

Bangladesh has achieved notoriety and fame

The worlds most corrupt country

Several years in a row

Politically subservient to USA and India

Instead of being looted by the elites in West Pakistan

Now being bankrupted by those in Dhaka



Same sad story in Pakistan

The faces may change

But the corruption remains



How the heart aches

And regrets the mistake of division

Brother divided from brother

Since 71

Yearning for unity

Not based on superiority of regionalism or caste

But one based on Islam and piety



Forget the slogans of Joi Bangla and Pakistan zindabad

And embrace the slogans of Allahu Akbar, Khilafat, Khilafat

GUWAHATI, Dec 4: Newly-elected Asom BJP president Ramen Deka has today alleged that Bangladeshi Muslims who entered Asom in large numbers and engaged themselves mostly as rickshaw-pullers have been working as arms carriers for the ISI and the ULFA, both infamous for carrying out subversive activities in Asom.
Talking to newsmen in the city today for the first time after being elected president of the Asom unit of the BJP, Deka said: “There is an alarming rise in the population of Bangladeshi Muslims who infiltrated into Asom and have been working as arms carriers for the ISI which is backing the ULFA to conduct subversive activities in the State”, Deka said.
He alleged that as many as 3,269 ‘new’ villages came up in the Bramhaputra riverine areas between 1961 and 1991 ‘with predominantly Bangladeshi infiltrators’ which the ‘Congress Government in the State took as its vote banks’.
“The RDX being imported in huge quantity by rebels in Asom is a Pakistan’s patented explosive, and this fact has exposed in no uncertain terms that the ISI has been helping the ULFA and the explosive materials are being supplied to Asom through the infiltrators,” he alleged, and said that all the recent blasts in the State had been triggered by the ISI and jehadi elements.
He asked the State Government to make the work of NRC update public. “The then Chief Election Commissioner of India, TN Seshan, was about to issue photo identity cards to the voters of Asom, but the move had to be kept under the wrap following pressures from various circles. Had the voters identity card been issued then, detection of infiltrators would have become much easier now,” he said, adding that even after issuance of voters identity cards there were ways to detect foreigners who could easily manage to get such identity cards. “The Hindus will be a minority in Asom in the coming ten years,” he rued.
Criticizing the State Government for its failure on the law-and-order front, he held Power Minister Pradyut Bordoloi responsible for the recent police firing at Margherita in connection with the formation of the Tirap Autonomous Council where tribal population is just nine per cent.
On the State Government’s move to utilize the land leased out for cultivation of tea in the State for other industries with assistance from the Tatas, Deka asked the State Government to spell out its tea policy in clear terms.

SUTARKANDI (Indo-Bangladesh border), Dec 3: Every twelve hours of each day, Nurul Hussain of Lafasai village, virtually loses his nationality.
Shut out from the rest of the world for 12 hours of each day due to international complication, Nurul and Lafasai village remain confined between the barbed fences and the actual Zero line of the International boundary.
“From 6 p.m to next morning 6 a.m we are confined to the village, no movement anywhere outside as the massive iron gets shut down by the BSF,’’ said Nurul.
In fact Lafasai is not alone. In the Karimganj sector, there are two more villages like that. They are Jharapatta and Gopalpur, which are sandwiched between the barbed wire fence and the actual boundary.
“We have democratic right as citizen of India yet we are outside of democracy. Every day at 6 a.m the Gate is opened and we go out for normal marketing or visit someone’s place. Again at 6 p.m in the evening we have to return home. So where is the democracy?’’ question Andai Das Prkaystha, a former Asom Police personnel now retired who had returned back to his village.
“The BSF has always been kind to us. Whenever there is some emergency like medical problem, then gates are opened but beside that we must return home before 6 p.m otherwise stay the night outside the village,’’ said Amiya Ranjan Das Purkaystha.
This is a strange world and living on the edge of the international boundary sharing same courtyard with a different nation is a surreal experience for any outsider.
“In fact the boundary actually has gone right through the village with two rooms falling on the Indian side and three rooms falling on the Bangladesh side. The house was constructed long back and the actual owners moved to Kolkata. Now Indian portion has been occupied by an Indian farmer who share the house with a Bangladeshi fisherman sharing the same courtyard making it impossible to manage sometime,’’ said Sub Inspector GP Pandey of the BSF.
The system operator-turned-BSF officer was posted at the Lafasai out post just a few weeks ago and it was his first exposure to the Indo-Bangladesh border. “This is a strange feeling. In Punjab and Kashmir you can feel that you are guarding the International boundary but here it is something different,’’ said Mr. Pandey. But for the 120-odd families of Lafasai, Gopalpur and Jharapatta, a day means 12 hours for them. Whatever they do, they have to return back to their house by 1800 hours, come what may.
“Sometime when we go to Karimganj for some work, we just rush through otherwise we will have to spend the night outside,’’ said Arijeet Das Purkaystha, a resident of Jharapatta on the edge of the border.
Then there are daily problems of cow theft by the Bangladeshi bandits. With no help coming from Indian side because of fencing, the bandits are having a field day.
The village elder still fondly remembers the pre Partition days but the young generations have grown up with hostility. “Frankly speaking infiltration is less in this side but the cow theft is too much’’.
Everybody is constantly harassed by the cow theft. “Almost every day we keep vigil. Only two days back village carpenter’s cows were taken away. We are helpless. On the one side we have the fencing and other side we have the border,’’ he said.
“With each of our post are stretched so much that we can not do much at night as there is no light near the fencing like that of Punjab,’’ said Inspector K P Kuniyal. He said that border vigil could be more effective only if lighting arrangements are done throughout the border.
India wants the fencing to be erected on the zero line so that these villages can be saved from the day-to-day harassment and BSF also get some space to breathe. But Bangladesh opposes it citing a treaty both the countries had signed many decades back. Bangladesh maintains that the fencing is a defence installation but India says it is to stop smuggling and infiltration. But till the stalemate is resolved, for all these who live in these villages have to rush home before 6 p.m. UNI
 
Aizawl, Dec 4: The Border Security Force (BSF) has deployed two more battalions along the Mizoram-Bangladesh border.
Talking to mediapersons here today, Deputy Inspector General of BSF Mizoram, Cachar Frontier MA Khan said additional forces have been deployed along the 337 km-long boundary with Bangladesh.
“To curb infiltration, we are carrying out a day and night foot and vehicle-mounted aggressive patrolling along the border, which is rugged and porous with thick forests”, he said He also added that BSF has so far apprehended 29 Bangladeshi nationals, four Myanmarese and 45 Indians involved in trans-border criminal activities in Mizoram during past one year.
Meanwhile, the BSF also seized three assault rifles, a Chinese-made grenade, 67 kgs of ganja, a huge amount of Bangladesh and Indian currencies and other contraband items worth Rs 16,77,264 from anti-national elements trespassing the border. (UNI)
 
As soon as their 'shunnar bangladesh' (golden Bangladesh :rollseyes) gets done by floods, they'll get off their high horse!!!

When the time for marriage comes, they wont worry about which 'tribe' or 'district' the person came from.....:giggling: because there wont be any of that left!! ROCK ON GRANDCHILDREN...Atleast u wont have to put up with that :smile: lol....

Lucky next generation :mmokay:

But a disaster on such a large scale would mean mass hijrah (wats the word in english? :p, sorry im a little slow today)...But may Allah help them all.

Dhaka, Dec 6 (IANS) Stating that "world needs Bangladesh democracy," a visiting senior US official Tuesday said the forthcoming parliamentary polls would be "most monitored" by the international community.

Close to 400 international observers - around 300 from the EU and 71 from the US - will be arriving here for monitoring the elections. Besides, thousands of Bangladeshis will be trained to observe the polls.

"Bangladesh is the third-largest moderate Muslim democracy... we are keenly watching it in Washington," US Deputy Assistant Secretary John Gastright said.

The US is closely watching the run-up to the polls in Bangladesh with its envoy, Patricia Butenis, playing a pro-active role, along with envoys from the US, European Union and Japan in engaging all concerned with the polls.

Analysts have said that even though these activities were well beyond the diplomatic call, they helped ease and resolve the political stalemate, especially the revamping of the Election Commission.

Gastright is the second senior US State Department official to visit Dhaka in less than a month. His senior, Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, was here last month interacting with people in the government, politicians and businessmen at the height of political turmoil that gripped Bangladesh the whole of November.

Gastright, who had consultations with the leaders of major political parties, advisers to the caretaker government and the Election Commissioners over the election issues, said he was optimistic about free, fair and credible elections here.

He observed that the caretaker government and the Election Commission are working hard and seriously to move the process forward, The Daily Star newspaper said.

Gastright warned against any army intervention in the poll and political process, saying that it will certainly negatively affect Dhaka-Washington military relations and Bangladesh's peacekeeping operations.

"I don't think army step is the right thing for Bangladesh. It will certainly negatively affect military to military cooperation, give a negative signal to the whole world and affect Bangladesh's participation in the UN peacekeeping mission," the visiting US government functionary said in an interview to United News of Bangladesh (UNB) news agency.

Asked what the US position would be if any party finally stays away from the polls, or voting is marred with rigging, he said: "Certainly international community will not endorse the results."

The possibility of a poll boycott was debated in the context of the countryside agitation by the 14-party alliance through the last month when neutrality of President Iajuddin Ahmed, who is doubling as chief Advisor of the caretaker government and that of the Election Commission were challenged in public and before the court.

Analysts said his remarks about Bangladesh being "the third largest moderate Muslim country" were in the context of the rise of radical Islam, especially since 9/11, in the last five years.

The Bush administration and US think tanks have taken serious note of this phenomenon, seeing linkages with the Al Qaeda sponsored global terrorism, but also the detention and punishment of some of activists whose organizations were banned in the last two years.

Specifying the US concerns, Gastright said that he hoped the next elected government would implement policies to address the issues of corruption, extremism, literacy, business-friendly policy, and infrastructure development with a world-class port.
