Zoglul Husain (zoglul@hotmail.co.uk) writes: Why did this journalist of a communal sort (Sujoy Dhar) refer to "Uprooted by communal riots of 1955" in order to report on the border fence constructed by India for its ulterior political ends? Many of the Indian journalists always refer to Bangladesh as a hub of Islamic terrorism, a sanctuary of ULFA, a failed and dysfunctional state, a state where minorities are oppressed, etc., which are generally outrageous propaganda with evil political intent of establishing hegemony with US support. In many untoward cases referred by them, foreign hands can be detected with their ulterior motives well exposed, or videos taken after rehearsals supported by foreign funding, or fabrications and half-truths dished out on propaganda tours funded by foreign agencies. The fact is that neither in erstwhile East Pakistan nor in Bangladesh there has been any significant rioting, except for retaliatory emotions in the wake of Indian riots on a few occasions.. India's former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and former foreign minister Sarwan Singh amongst other people, were full of praise for the communal harmony in Bangladesh. On the contrary, India has recorded thousands of regular communal riots, and riots on the Dalits. And what does Sujoy Dhar have to say on these?? Of course there has been socio-economic immigrations, after partition of British India, but it has been both ways. And there has always been immigration throughout human history since its dawn, for one reason or another. And there has always been riots in all parts of the world for one reason or another. Our aim should be to mitigate the riots and strife with social justice, and not to provoke, trigger or stoke up the malicious fire. Sujoy Dhar and his kind of journalists should be brought to book and condemned utterly and squarely. --- On Wed, 8/13/08, Isha Khan <bd_mailer@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Isha Khan <bd_mailer@yahoo.com> |
