[ALOCHONA] Re: Was Bangabandu like Castro of Cuba?

Dear Alochok Turkman

Good points! Though of course you know I am referring to Castro's
more negative traits - secret police, supreme authority, no political
parties, no press freedom etc etc. As you know these were the
emerging traits of Sheikh Mujib and hence the comparison.

Many of the successes of Castro's Cuba would not have been possible
without the Russia's deep vested interest in its stability.
Bangladesh had no such well wisher. Not even India. And these
successes also depended on Castro's continued leadership and
administrative skills. Some 30-40% of Mujib's followers deserted him
following his administrative failures.

He is like Castro when we compare their negatives.

Mujib's departure was the second biggest tragedy of Desh.

Mujib's departure from the principles that led to the War of
Independence was the biggest tragedy of Desh. It set the stage and
the tone for all the abysmal failures that have followed since.

Sigh!
