[mukto-mona] Re: The BDR mutiny - revenge for Padua and Boraibari

I agree with you that many Bangaldeshi are anti-Indian.
I would like to tell that India and Bangladesh should be good friends to each other. It will be difficult for Bangladesh to compromise with Pakistan because both's mentality is reverse. India can not compromise too with Pakistan and vice versa. The world knows that.

There may be some misunderstanding between Bangladesh and India in past but there is no time now to engage with that misunderstanding.
I think Bangladesh and India can paly a vital role in South Asia to make it a peaceful abode of living.The people of Bangladesh shall be more benifited if they look India in a friendly way. Pakistan can never think the development of Bangladesh.Pakistan will never love Bangladesh people by heart. This is important to understand.

We the secular people of this region can make the two counties strong economically and technologically if we saty together side by side and help each other like good friends.

Unity is strenght and we should be united keeping our geographical entity as two neibouring countries.

The world is changing fast and in this changing world we should not feel enmity on religion basis. Our existance with our self respect is depending on our tie-up like two good friends.We should not do any project which will harm the two neighbours. India and Bangladesh should understand this.

The people of both the countries will take each other as if we are from the same family but living in different houses.
My emotion for Bangladesh is at a peak because I can not forget her as my birth place and I saw the first time sun rays in Bangladesh. But we could stay there. My respect and love for Bangladesh will never die til I am alive and I shall never be able to disest any one who will desire the harm of Bangladesh. Whoever they be.

Lets come and stand side by side and lets start work to develop and lets start to create a terror free subcontinent. A fundamentalists free, a hardliners free, a middle- age -cultured Taleban free region. "Chitto jetha Bhay sunno" free region.
