I am appalled by the anger and frustration expressed by this member of Alochona who could not find anything better to post his views other than choosing street language. If I am not wrong the word Kuttajibi means Buddhijibi and Hindusatan means Hindu Satan. What a poor show of perception. In 1947 when
The truth is that religion was not a uniting force in the past or neither its now nor it will be ever. When Islam was first introduced to
Your so called kuttajibis are the people who bring these conspiracies into the open and oppose them. If you want to continue this conversation please respond with gentle language.

Muslims Take Hindu Names to Work
IslamOnline. net & Newspapers
CAIRO – With access to jobs in the lucrative diamond industry closed to them, many Muslims in Hindu-majority India change their names and assuming Hindu ones just to get a chance. "We would not get a job if we are known to be Muslims," Allarakha Khan, a Muslim worker who uses a Hindu name, told the Indian Express on Tuesday, December 29.
Indian Muslims, estimated at 140 million, complain of social and economic neglect and oppression. (Google)
"We have been doing this for a long time, and we take great care not to reveal our real names or addresses at work."
There are some 140 million Muslims in Hindu-majority India, the world's third-largest Muslim population after those of Indonesia and Pakistan.
Indian Muslims have suffered decades of social and economic neglect and oppression.
They have been decrying for years that they comprise only a tiny percentage of police, army officers, public servants and public university students.
They register lower educational levels and, as a consequence, higher unemployment rates than the majority Hindus and other minorities like Christians and Sikhs.
Costly Price
Mehboob Pathan changed his name and those of his son and daughter to Hindu names to find a job in the diamond industry.
"Like me, my father too was hiding his religion only so that we could have a job," asserted his son Mushtaq, who goes by the Hindu name Mukesh.
But the family paid a tragic price for hiding their Muslim identity.
The father, who went by the Hindu name Jayenti Bhatti, disappeared recently and the family reported his absence.
To their shock, they discovered he was killed over monetary dispute and was cremated as a Hindu.
"How could the police dispose of his body the Hindu way?" fumed Mushtaq.
"An examination would have shown he was a Muslim."
But police insist the family was too late.
"We disposed it of according to Hindu rites not knowing he was a Muslim," said police sub-Inspector V R Malhotra.
"The family turned up too late and we are now helpless."
In Islam, cremation is prohibited as it is disrespectful to the dead body and Islam calls for respecting human beings whether alive or dead.
It is an obligation on Muslims as a community to ensure that every Muslim who dies is properly washed, shrouded, and buried according to the teachings of Islam.
"We are too poor to do anything," said a helpless Mushtaq.

Take a look at the talk show footage where Mr. M A Arafat talks on the latest Amar Desh report on corruption implicating Sajeeb Wazed Joy in light of journalistic integrity here is the link http://www.shuc and also can put your comments http://habib.amarblog.com/posts/95294 Regards Habib |
I totally agree. I hate this politics of vengeance. Changing existing name is nothing but meanness. It does not matter who has a higher degree of meanness. This cannot be and should not be supported by any quarter. But have we ever thought why:
· The slogan (Joy Bangla) on which the liberation war of Bangladesh was fought was changed to Bangladesh Zindabad? Ever since the nation has been divided by these two slogans.
· Radio station was Islamized from Bangladesh Betar to Radio Bangladesh?
· Name of Bangabandhu Avenue was changed again to Quaid-i-Azam Avenue after the assassination of Sk. Mujibur Rahman? (Though for a short time)?
· The name of Bangabandhu Bridge was changed to Jamuna Bridge?
· The name of Bangabandhu Theatre was changed to Bhashani theatre?
· The name Bangabandhu Convention Center was changed to China Moitri Center? And you insist to call it China Moitri Center though it has been renamed again.
· The name of Nazurul Islam Bridge at Bhairab was changed?
· The name of M. A. Hannan Airport was changed to Shah Amanat Airport?
Above all, can anybody tell what Shaheed Ziaur Rahman portrait was doing at Bangabandhu stadium? What Shaheed Ziaur Rahman murals were doing there?
Hasina asked to change the name of Airport. Why worry, the name will change again when BNP comes to power (hopefully then we will see a Prime Minister called Tariq Zia, a President called Begum Zia, a foreign minister called Mirza Abbas and an Interior Minister called Lutfuzzaman). And don't get the illusion that Zia International Airport will remain Zia International Airport for most of the people in Bangladesh. For commoner it is only Dhaka Airport and shall remain so what may ever you name it. Everything and every name may change except Mazar of Shaheed Zia which shall remain "Mazar Sharif of Shaheed Zia".
And you will remain confused if you choose to do so.

We don't need a freakin boat or a paddy sheaf or a flower on the police badge! Freakin what is it with Deshi men and flowers? Perhaps our police like to stand next to flowers and smell them as their boyfriends take photos of them? Hmm. Not unusual eh? Perhaps we could have a buxom village maiden carrying water on the emblem? How about a jackfruit? Or a toast biscuit? Why oh why can't have something more manly and not associated with any political party? Asking too much isn't it? I know. I know. I think we should have a butterfly in the logo and a police anthem that starts "Projapothee! Projapothee!"
