Mr. Mufassil Islam, you said *Awami League is often blinded by Bengali Fascism and this Fascist idea leads to the issue of people of non-Bengali origin and their rights to be Bangladeshis even when they are not Bengalis* With your analogy of Bengali fascism, can we come to conclusion that naming Islam, as state religion is also analogous breed of fascism? We know our citizens follows many religion then why the supremacy of one religion in the eye of state and forcefully excluding others? Fascist use of Islam by traders of religion must be challenged. Placing Bismillah in the preamble of constitution not just a fascist method but at the same token its injustice to Allah and teaching of Islam. Anyway, I think I am trying to put something on stubborn deaf ear, anyone who thinks spending time with his or her father is a waist of time does not have decent human nature put out of your mind about being human right activist.

I may not know much about politics but I think u need to know that I knew enough in 1990 to lead the victory procession from Dhaka University after Ershad's fall. Yes, I know nothing about politics but I know at least how to point to a despot regime in the making. I know enough that Awami League did take part in Ershad's laughable election and I also know that Hasina is brewing Baksal. I led Dhaka University procesion as the most renouned non-poltical student and I am sure I still did not know anything about politics. At least that arms me to say that BNP was wrong in taking Jamaat along and Hasina is not better in encompassing all.You can dump all my writings in all major newspapers around the world as I think they all deal with rubbish anyway. I am sure I will have a lot to learn about communication skills from wise iconinc personalities like you as I learnt nothing as a lawyer about the art of cross examination for which I got disntinctions from academic and professional organisations and I am also sure that I need to become a wise man like you someday. Rabbi jidni elma! Peace be upon u. By the way, I spent many hours in reading through pages in newspaper archives at Dhaka University (as I could not find any other authentic source in papers) and I have had reached some conclusions. I also spent some time with various so called Icomic fugures in Awami League like Zillur Rahman at his Voirob house and with Abdur Razzak's family in UK and USA (whilst they were visiting my family) and alos spent some time with my father who was actively involved with Pakistan Chhatro League. I am sure those were simply waste of time. I also spent some time with my childhood friend Tarek Rahman (sorry I did not take his money) and with BNP stalwarts to reach a fair idea. I also spent some time with Major Dalim as it is an irony that he is my close relative. I am sure that Rehana Aapa was a good landlord when my family rented her house at Gulshan. Yes, Sir - show me the way to have first hand knowledge of impartial conclusion. I need to watch Obama's politics now. Thank you!

All they can do is rehash communal and sectarian scripts from the old & hold emotional sour grapes attitude towards everything and anything they cannot understand. They are nothing but ordinary school yard bullies and loud mouths masquerading as pundits.

> Dear Readers, The equation is very simple. The factors that played into Awami League's victory: 1. Awami League and BNP are originally almost at par with their number of supporters. Awami league's regular supporters did vote for Awami League as usual and they had no reason to love BNP - so Awami League grabbed the regular devoted votes; 2. The Swing Voters wanted to teach BNP a lesson for their corruption and had no other alternative than Mohajot as voting for BNP would have justified Tarek's corrupt practice - so they voted for alternative - ie., Awami League - having no other alternative; 3. The BNP supporters or activists were divided as to pro-change and anti-change groups, the defelctors like Bodrudouza and Oli gave reasons to the exploiters and anti-BNP lobbies reason to ponder upon BNP's coordination and disciplined approach; 4. BNP stalwarts or the pivotal leaders were kept behind the bars until the las! t few days on very simple cases which were easily bailable when Awami League had almost all their pivotal figures out of jail all the time (well even drunkard Jalil was out of jail); 5. Awami League had always supported the caretaker Govt and had promised to legalise their unconstitutional (although I think constitution itself has become a laugh) works if voted to power; 6. Hasina had a few anti-Jamaati Islamic groups in her pocket which got the votes of anti-Jamaati pro-Islamic ppl on their side and Hasian promised not to enact any anti-Islamic laws; 7. Ershad commands a few BNP votes as well owing to his military past; 8. New generation of voters did not have the experience of seeing Awami League's rule as adults rather they saw the corrupt rule of Tarek which made them anti-BNP and they read Awami League made ppl drink 'Vaater Fan' in drains from adults like us and they were too young to understand that Awami League alw! ays failed to control crime; 9. Awami League is better in price control when BNP is not good at that and owing to present price hike - ppl could not afford to take chances with any more price hike as that would have meant playing with starvation; 10. women voters were successfully convinced that BNP meant oppression on women; 11. The media which is ruled by Foortibaaj and Aamodi pro-Bollywood dedicated Amitabh loving reporters like Munni Shaha (who always talks for Hindu greats) ruled non-political channel news rooms like that of ATN and the so called cultural ppl are dying to have a amorous relationship with Indian medias to extend their workfield where Pakistan is a total failure; 12. Bangladesh is surrounded by Maoists and communists and Islam has been pocketed by idiots like JMBs and without true Islamic wise leaders - communism in the camouflage of secularism has taken root in newspapers; 13. Awami League banked on the issue of bringing the Jamaat leaders to war-tribunals wh! en BNP owing to failure of its leaders (only Salauddin Qader recently accused Awami League of letting thousands of Pakistani soldiers leave the country without war compensations) could not successfully defend the issue with a counter challenge; 14. Hasina lobbied abroad (with kaaney betha issue) to win international support for Awami League when BNP concentrated on domestic support only. Hence, I and many like me are not shocked or surprised at all at Awami League's win and I am sure the readers do recall I DID forecast this scenario even in this ALOCHONA online many months ago. I NOW forecast that Awami League will become a good ruler as they may not act like BNP idiots but they will soon find out that Bangladeshi ppl are pro-Islamic when they will start enacting anti-Islamic India loving enactments and this will give rise to a wise and revolutionary Islamic power in Bangladesh with BNP at the helm. Sincerely, Mufassil IslamHuman Rights Advocate

> The extraordinary support for AWL is definitely a mandate for change in the affairs of the country.That change is not some quantitative change here & there but fundamental change in the system of governance in the country. After all, they have the two third majority.Can Sheikh Hasina & Awami League deliver that change?Can she liberate the country's folk from the yokes of colonial bureaucratic system of governance?After everything settles down and the elected government begins functioning. The country will go back to the age old colonial system of governance,despite the overwhelming participation of the nation in the election. From the Secreteriate to the Mahakuma offices, it's the non elected, non answerable bureaucrats who will be the supreme rulers of the day to day affairs of the country. The Minister is not the executive head of the Ministry but the Secretery. Ministers orders cannot be issued as Government orders unless ! approved by the Secretary. The scenario at the districts, Upozilla's, Cities & Mahakuma's are more bleak. There is zero representation of the public in the governance of those levels.The notorious system that was devised by the colonial rulers to keep us under subjugation by our own people continues to this day, despite two independences. Hope her Government will hand over the total administration of the Upozillas to the elected chairman & council members.She will face a lot of resistance from the bureaucracy by way of government rules & regulations but she has the backing of the vast majority as well as the two third majority to do and undo anything in the greater interest of the nation. All administrative powers which are excercised by the bureaucrats at those levels should be vested in the elected chairman & council of representatives.This will empower the Upozilla people to be their o! wn rulers.They will truly be independent. Until & amp; unless we establish Democracy,self rule at the grassroot levels Democracy will not have its foundation.Opinions of the majority of citizens, their hopes & aspirations,likings ,dislikings will not be expressed in the affairs of the country, nor their support be of any strength to the elected government.
> The handful of elected ministers at the center will be cut off from the people by way of the clandestine bureaucracy. Its imperative that we have elected local government.at the varios administrative levels;bureaucrats at these levels should be answerable to the elected local body.The vast majority of Bangladeshi's has shown the keen judgement of right & wrong by routing out the parties of anti liberation past & fundamentalist in nature.They also opted for the less corrupt of the two parties.
