[ALOCHONA] Watch out Bangladesh: Sleeping Next to a Thousand Pound Gorilla

And after all that rhetoric, here come the facts. Bangladeshis live in peace the way they can live like all other nations on earth. They are not lazy and provided the opportunity, they are not stupid to miss it.You are lying, when you say Moslims comprise of world's thousand pound gorrilla because besides being 2nd to Christian population Moslims are nobody in the world. GDP of all Moslim countries combined, or your 'thousand pound gorrilla' is only 6 % of whole world's GDP, when they are 18% of world's population. Therefore this thousand pound gorrilla actually weighs just 333 lbs and is starving with hunger.  
 
1. Bangladeshis know there are 6th largest nation on earth and there are 187 smaller nations then theirs and dozens of nations with smaller countries than Bangladesh in the world.

2. They know they speak world's 5th largest language.

3. They know, they are more literate and Philosophically advanced than Pakistanis and majority of Moslims and this is why your JehaaDis can't go blasting bombs in their country like in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Dubai, Yemen, Oman, Iran, Algeria, Nigeria, Indonesia etc.

4. Your JehaaDis committed 323 acts of Terrorism in from October 5 to December 5 and none of them were in Bangladesh. Is this what you don't like about Bengalis?

Salaam, dear Bangladesh:
 
I was wondering why one gentleman repeatedly complained in the "yahoogroups" about "Eating Rice" as our worst enemy. I know now after reading about the "Thousand Pound Gorilla"; perhaps he was right seeing that we the Bangladeshi (unclassified) men do three things very well that are dear to us because they are easy, enjoyable, inexpensive, and convenient. The three things are: 1) Eat hot and tasty rice, dream during the day, sleep with our wives at night, oppress/tease women day-and-night, smoke Hukka or Cigars, and spend the rest of the 24/7 for the "aristocrats' leisure" spoiling the children and milk; 2) Relish "Ilsha' Steaks and Rohu Heads", occasionally gobbling chunky mutton grease, bite the betel & nuts with Choon-Khoiyr- Jarda for free lipsticks & mouth-fresheners, keep all these elegant habits by chewing the names of our fellow beings and biting on their backs; and 3) Heat up our soft bottoms and hard heads globalizing our "Drawing Rooms" by watching the cheap Commercial TV Channels killing "All Cats" that we could not, at the 'First of our Nights".
 
Who can we blame for our blemished trousers and torn caps? Generals or Gentlemen? No, they are as cheap as our "Time"! We heard, "Time is the Healer, and Time is the Killer"; but for us, time is just the yawning cats in our kitchens we can afford to kill, taking for granted that the dead-cats are created to cool our hot heads and mend our niggardly minds.
 
Who cares if the waters of the Ganges and Brahmaputra are not-flowing or overflowing? Who cares if Bangladesh remains as a sovereign "nation" or not, as long as the symbolic sectarian flags of the bureaucrats, politicians- cum-supporting gangs, industrialists, armed-forces, students/professors , professionals, socialists (except the peasants), secularists, sufis, religionists, feminists (a newly evolved modern sect), ethnic-minorities, and the currently-evolved global-citizens, are flattering in the sky? Unity or magnanimity is a misnomer for the mean. These so-called sectarian rats probably feel that Bangladesh is too small to be proud of, and its Muslim majority are too skimpy & stinky skunks to be tolerated, when all sects other than the Islamists comprise/represent the world's majority of the "Thousand Pound Gorillas".
 
Perhaps, you have no comment!
 
 Regards,
Mohammad Jalaluddin

Watch out Bangladesh: Sleeping Next to a Thousand Pound Gorilla

 

Dr Abid Bahar

 

While talking about sleeping next to a Thousand Pound Gorilla, I am not referring to India that surrounds Bangladesh from its three sides. Here I am talking about Burma.

 

 Burma is five times bigger than Bangladesh. It has an army of 400,000 strong; in comparison Bangladesh has only 125,000 strong  army. It has a rough military regime ruling Burma for half a century with no end in sight. The greedy neighbor China and India are its biggest suppliers of its sophisticated fighter jets and helicopters. The enemy it fights is not another state but its powerful rebel groups that keeps it as a disciplined army.

 

During the medieval period, the Southern part of Bangladesh was controlled by Arakani pirates, and part of Chittagong was occupied by Arakan.. In our contemporary period, Burmese extremist groups led by Aye Kyaw through Arakani connection still claims Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts as part of Burma. No wonder, Burma keeps connection with the Hill tracts leadership with the excuse of its Buddhist and racial similarities. It is documented that Chittagomg Hill Tracts's unrest was contributed both by the Indian army and by the innocent looking political Monks travelling from Arakan to Chittagong Hill Tracts. On record some armed groups among whom were monks were detained by Bangladesh authorities. Why Bangladesh remains naïve in its approach to dealing with the hypocrite Burma?

 

Contrary to the field situation, most Bangladeshis consider Burma as a backward, weak but friendly and a nonviolent Buddhist country with hardly any international backing. Bangladeshis also believe that Burma wants to help Bangladesh to have its "Look East" policy.

 

It is true, Burma is a backward country but the militarily it is not. It is a Buddhist country but it is a Theravada Buddhist (Fundamentalist Buddhist) country where anti Muslim and anti Chin and Karen (Christian) genocide is in its most dangerous form.

 

It keeps Bangladesh promising a road through Burma for connecting it with China. This never happened and experience shows will never happen in future. Therefore, in no respect, Burma is a friendly country.. It works exactly like a turtle head.  It is clear from the fact that it has been sending Rohingya refugees for a long time, always promising to take them back but continues sending them causing in the destruction of infrastructure in Southern Bangladesh. It never says no and Rohingya refugees little by little continue to leave Arakan for Bangladesh to avoid the genocide of intimidation. Information received lately reveals that part of Bangladesh territory near Arakan and Chin border remains under NASAKA control. In this Burma is always in the offensive. 

 

While Bangladesh is busy in its infighting between the two Begums, and the issue is Jamat or war criminals etc., and the care taker government so miserably fails to take care of the country, we see realizing the weakness in the centre, Burma sends its navel ships to cross Bangladesh maritime boundary. In this,  Bangladesh sought help from China but it was not forthcoming.

 

Surprisingly, there are anti Rohingya and anti Bangladeshi xenophobic Burmese Buddhist groups called themselves ANC members, work from Dhaka and Delhi and especially from Bandarban, but Bangladesh authority under the Care Taker government takes it easy because of its inexperience and their and generally people's perception that Burma is a harmless backward country.

 

But the problem is, if we don't take lessons from history, it says, history repeats itself. History teaches us that after the fall of the Sultanate in the Bengal centre in Gaur, following Sher Shah attack, Arakanese took advantage of the weak centre, and in alliance with the Portuguese raided the lower Bengal even occupied part of Chittagong defeating Shah Alam, the Bengali governor. The problem is now there is no Mughal General Shaista Khan, nor the Pakistan Army to take side of Bangladesh. It is all for Bangladeshis to take care of themselves in this ocean of enemies. What it requires thus, is to continue to have strong centre.

 

 With a strong centre, even Ziaur Rahman in 1978 could force Burma to accept its 200,000 Rohingya refugees(

http://rspas. anu.edu.au/ rmap/newmandala/ 2007/12/06/ education- in-burma- where-some- are-more- equal-than- others/) The imbecile General Moin U's unwanted interference in civilian affairs has caused no benefit to the nation. He was seen at best good to kill and paralyze civilian leaders he saw them the enemies, he shamed the nation by putting the former Prime Ministers in jail but when it came to face the real enemy in the Bay of Bengal, his army helplessly looked from a distance. Under the circumstances, it is desirable that this intrigue expert army General resigns as soon as the Care-taker government's term comes to an end.

 

One would recall, after Moin U's coup with a Care taker government in Bangladesh, when Moin U was Invited to India and was given a red carpet reception along with 6 horses, many people predicted that it would follow the demand for transit. But when Bangladeshi people in great numbers refused the transit, India quite unceremoniously signed the Kaladan project which allows it now to have access of its North East to the Bay of Bengal through Arakan. 

 

Historically speaking, compared to Bangladesh, the relationship between Burma and India is much deeper. It is no surprise that the military rulers and even Aung San Suu Ki who had her education in India documented in her book sees India and Burma as part of the mythical Hindu-Buddhist civilization and Bangladsh, of course, an ancient Buddhist region now Muslim, some sees only as a roadblock. So the question: is India's Kaladan project through Burma a source of Burma's apparent new strength to flex it muscle against Bangladesh? Recent report suggests that Burma accumulated a huge army five miles from the inland border in its North West and navel ships are also stationed in the Akyab region in the Bay. What is India's role in this?  We question, is India the new Portuguese in the Bay? It is good to know.

 

Bangladesh's strength of course is not in a strong army but its strength in democracy and its growth in a large educated middle class, which Burma lacks.  However, what Bangladesh needs now is a democratically elected government and not to take Burmese military, the hypocrite enemy for granted as a friend. It is also very important to keep an eye on the innocent looking xenophobic monks travelling from Burma to Bangladesh in Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts and in Dhaka. A strong intelligence is extremely essential.

 

Despite all the developments, it is important that regional issues between neighbors should be resolved amicably. However, a thousand pound gorilla wouldn't comply with considerations unless it is bound to do so and sleeping carelessly next to it can cause undesirable consequences.
