Re: [mukto-mona] Follow up: Gazipur – Sahebabd Incident

Dear Professor Roy:

 

Thank you for your human rights work in Bangladesh. The criminals in Sahebabad targeted their victims because the latter were Hindus; no doubt about that. Let us wait for a reasonable period of time for the DC to deliver on his promise to you of bringing Hazrat Ali to justice.

 

There is no question that the criminals who committed the atrocities on the Hindu families need to get exemplary punishments.

 

I wish Bangladesh had more responsible people, bureaucrats and politicians. In the USA, when a black person becomes a crime victim, his/her lawyer looks for the possibility of that being categorized as a racial hate crime. Because hate crimes are more severely punishable. In our part of the world, much of the intelligentsia considers it more normal for minorities to be victims in the hands of criminals from the majority community. Corruption and crime are pretty normally acceptable phenomena. And it is considered normal for the weak to be victims. I am really frustrated about our birthplace.

 

Having said the above, I think the Hindus need to play it smarter. In the case of Sahebabad, Paritosh should not have gone to the known criminal Ali. Nor should he have tried to sell the property to another Muslim, knowing fully well that that would create a fight between the possessor Ali and the new claimant. Paritosh should have come to people like you, or organizations like HRCBM, to seek advice on how to proceed. It is a jungle out there, and the humans need to be smarter than the animals.

 

With best regards,

 

Sukhamaya Bain
