[ALOCHONA] Why the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Conflict should not be Christianized



Why the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Conflict should not be Christianized


The recent CHT violence, which was one of its worst, drew the widest international condemnation in the history of the CHT conflict. It was also one of the fastest spread and thoroughly covered incidents in the digital world with photos of burnt and razing houses, temples and church, bullet-ridden bodies, attacking scenes, and vandalized Buddha statues posted onto the internet in no time. Sheik Hasina's government continues to face international and diplomatic pressure on a proper investigation into the violence and on the full implementation of the 1997 CHT Peace Accord.The way the EU and the Western human rights organizations condemned the attack by Christianizing the incident is not really how the secular peoples of Bangladesh and the majority Jumma Buddhist people would like it to be viewed

Such a commendable international concern has been partially generated by the progressive Jumma indigenous expatriates who brought out massive worldwide demonstrations and protests against the attack in the world's major cities like Dhaka, New Delhi, Colombo, Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, Sydney, London, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, California, Paris, Geneva and elsewhere. It was for the first time such worldwide demonstrations in front of the UN headquarters in Bangkok, New York and Geneva were held by the Jumma expatriates, successfully drawing the international attention to the long CHT conflict and demanding a permanent end to such continuous heinous attack on the Jumma indigenous communities on their ancestral lands. Secondly, the Bangladeshi media together with various local human rights and civil organizations has played its due role by covering the incident in a fairly impartial way paving and generating immense sympathy and popular support for the cause of peace and stability in the CHT among the popular masses in Bangladesh.

That the present AL government faces a two-front pressure from home and abroad to bring permanent peace and stability in the hills puts the CHT issue in a very favorable and fertile ground for preventing re-occurrence of such atrocities for once and all by implementing the CHT Peace Accord in no time. That the anti-peace accord tribal organization United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF) has also expressed its support for such a full implementation takes everything to a new level.

However, serious concern has also been expressed by some section of Bangladeshi political and religious circles against a vested quarter for Christianizing the recent violence and portraying it as a sole religious conflict. Though one cannot deny the fact that had the jumma indigenous people been Muslims, such attacks on their properties and lands would not have taken place, majority would believe that Christianizing the CHT conflict would do more harm than good to the on-going peace initiatives. Such worldwide news headlines like "Christian homes, lives destroyed in tribal fight", "Christian Churches attacked by Bengali Muslim settlers" and "EU says Bangladesh must curb violence against Buddhists and Christians" do much harm to one of the most sensitive issues of Bangladesh. We must note here that one Baptist church came under arson attack along with another 2/3 Buddhist temples in the recent Baghaihat violence.

The way the EU and the Western human rights organizations condemned the attack by Christianizing the incident is not really how the secular peoples of Bangladesh and the majority Jumma Buddhist people would like it to be viewed. Why the CHT conflict should not be Christianized is because, first of all, the majority jumma Buddhists have already been resenting at the various evangelical Christian missionaries trying to convert the indigenous Buddhists and animists into Christianity and secondly, perhaps more importantly, the image of Christians is not very good in the eyes of Muslims. That Bangladesh is a Muslim country means any attempt to portray the CHT conflict as Muslims Vs Christians would be very devastating. Though the majority of the Jumma indigenous peoples are Buddhists and the Bengali settlers are Muslims, majority of Bangladeshis view the CHT conflict as ethnic and give moral support in the preservation of indigenous cultures and traditions and not as religious whatsoever. And that is exactly how most people would like it to be.

However, one cannot stop noticing that the EU and the West became more serious and critical about the CHT violence because one of their Christian Churches and some members of their community have been under attack and that report has been widely reported in online newspapers attracting evangelical Christians' sympathies and concern. There now would be people who would take advantage of this kind of Christianized violence to draw popular support and fund from Christian countries to finance various evangelical NGOs working in the CHTs. The CHT has been under intense NGO development projects for decades, but one cannot see any tangible developments happening in the hills. The only thing that is very visible in the remote hills is that a number of minor ethnic groups have been completely evangelized and a considerable number of Chakmas have also been victims of such evangelism. Some of such evangelized ethnic groups from the hills have been colorfully featured in a latest international evangelical book titled – "The Peoples of the Buddhist World, A Christian Prayer Guide Book". The sensitive problem between the Buddhists and the evangelized Christians could rise into serious conflict if the CHT conflict is seen merely as Christian.

Yet, the greatest protest would come from the majority Muslims of the country if the CHT conflict continues to be portrayed as such. BNP with its Islamic allies which already opposes the Peace Accord could draw massive support for its so-called patriotic opposition against any concession to the CHT indigenous peoples if and when the present AL government is forced to give into perceived Christianized pressure and demands. One cannot be with the wishful thinking that secular AL would be in power always. In a country like Bangladesh where the winner takes everything, the BNP could undo anything that the AL did when it comes to power with regard to the CHT issue. The CHT Jumma peoples are already labeled as Indian puppets by some anti-India sections of Bangladesh. The Jumma people don't certainly want to see another label like "Christian puppets" tagged behind their backs complicating the already tense situation.

Therefore, the EU and the West should minimize their Christian rhythm when referring to the CHT conflict, thus reducing the already complex and complicated situation and should not give any indication that they are concerned about the CHT on the basis of attacks on "Buddhists and Christians", because religious conflicts can be more complicated and sensitive. People should realize that the CHT jumma indigenous peoples enjoy popular support and sympathies from their progressive and secular Bengali brothers and sisters not because they are religiously different but because they are ethnically different, indigenous or tribal. For peace and stability to be permanently established in the hills, the support of the general people of Bangladesh is extremely important, even much more important and crucial than the international pressure and support. Given the geographical location and political involvement, we believe that the rights, the dignity and the very existence of the jumma indigenous peoples of CHT would be better preserved under internationally established indigenous laws rather than trying to save them under perceived Christianized pressure and demands.

[ALOCHONA] 9/11 : The plotters and their plots

Yeah but we need a Prayer, when our own JehaaDi Terrorists have caused 15,000 Sneak Attacks all over the world since 9/11, while we the Liars are still propagating in our Moslims that it was a Conspiracy to dislodge Paki Taliban from Afghanistan to take over Oil of Afghanistan and Central Asian countries, when none of them have enough Oil to even export.
Are we supposed to lie and cheat just out of our Hate for Non Moslims that we live off?
Where does Qoraan or Hadith say this?

[ALOCHONA] Economic & Political Weekly - Structural Roots of Violence in CTG Hill Tracts [1 Attachment]

[Attachment(s) from Robin Khundkar included below]

This weeks Economic & Political Weekly (EPW) has an article by an indigenous Jumma academic Bhumitra Chakma on the structural roots of violence in Chittagong Hill Tracts.

 

A brief synopsis is provided below & the article is attached in PDF form

 

Structural Roots of Violence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts

Bhumitra Chakma

http://epw.in/epw/user/viewAbstract.jsp

The continued violence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh is rooted in the state's policy of erasing the ethnic identity of the indigenous people and usurping their land for settling Bengali-speaking populations. In this, Bangladesh has followed the same policy as Pakistan and used the army and state machinery to suppress and evict the local people from their land and livelihoods. Unless the structural roots of this violence are addressed by the Bangladesh state, the cycle of violence will not end

[ALOCHONA] Bangla army chief visit may lead to joint drills



Bangla army chief visit may lead to joint drills

KOLKATA: The just-concluded visit of chief of Bangladesh army General Mohammed Abdul Mubeen may pave the way for joint exercises between Indian and Bangladesh armies, it was learnt from army sources in Kolkata. Mubeen was in the city before flying back to Dhaka on Saturday, after a week-long visit to Delhi, Kashmir and Rajasthan.

On Friday, he visited the Eastern Command headquarters in the city and had a talk with GOC-in-C Lieutenant General V. K. Singh, the army chief designate. Army chief General Deepak Kapoor's presence during a briefing added significance to the event. Mubeen had a meeting with Kapoor also in Delhi and visited field formations and army installations in Leh and some other parts of the country. He also visited some air force training establishments.

In the wake of improved relations with Bangladesh during the Sk Hasina regime in Dhaka, India wanted to improve defence ties with Bangladesh, with an eye on weaning the neighbour away from the sphere of Chinese influence, the sources said. Senior army officials found it strange that the Bangladesh army was having joint exercises with the Chinese army since long, but none with the Indian army.

About a year ago, a joint exercise had been planned between Indian and Bangladeshi special forces at Jorhat in Assam. For undisclosed reasons, the exercise was called off at the last moment. A reason for the mistrust could be the presence of training camps of rebel outfits from northeast India in Bangladesh and their getting help from organizations like Directorate General of Forces Intelligence. With the crackdown on these rebel outfits during Sk Hasina's regime and arrest of top United Liberation Front of Asom. the perception was changing, the sources said.

Mubeen's visit could lead to joint exercises between troops of the two countries at the elite Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairangte in Mizoram. Control of insurgency on the Indo-Bangladesh border continues to be a problem faced by India.

As a part of defence co-operation between Bangladesh and China, Bangladesh military is now equipped predominantly with Chinese hardware, but following the improvement in relations with India could consider helping the Bangladesh military with armament, sources said.

[ALOCHONA] Dhaka for jt management of Brahmaputra



Dhaka for jt management of Brahmaputra
Approaches Delhi and Beijing, experts hail the move

 
Bangladesh has made a proposal to China and India to develop a joint basin-wise management of the Brahmaputra, a mighty Asian river flowing through the three countries, foreign minister Dipu Moni said Monday.
   Experts appreciated the government's move on the Brahmaputra river, which, they said, would be mutually beneficial for the countries sharing the common basin.
   'We have made a proposal to China to develop a joint basin-wise management for Brahmaputra river. They have described it as a good proposal. We have also made the proposal to India,' Dipu Moni said at a press conference at the ministry Monday. 'Both the countries are weighing the idea.'
   
In the meanwhile, the two countries will exchange data and information about the flow of the river and at one stage the question of joint management of the river water would come up, she said.
   'The two sides [Bangladesh and China] discussed the need for regular exchange of information and consultation on the use of the water resources of river Yarluzangbu/Brahmaputra to ensure sustainable and mutually beneficial cooperation in this regard,' said the joint communiqué issued in Beijing on March 19 on the concluding day of prime minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to the country.
  
 Bangladesh prefers a basin-wise management of the rivers with co-riparian countries, the minister said.
   The 2,900km long Brahmaputra river originates in southwestern Tibet in China and flows through the Arunachal Pradesh and Assam Valley in India before entering Bangladesh to meet the Padma.
   The river, which is an important source for irrigation and transport, accounts for at least 60 per cent of the total runoff of all of Bangladesh's rivers, representing a potential source of available water.
   India has, however, undertaken projects to build link canals to connect the Brahmaputra with the Ganges just above Farakka barrage to divert water to the western and southern region of Bangladesh.
   
China was also reportedly planning to build multipurpose structures at the Great Bend on the Yarluzangbu [Brahmaputra in Bangladesh], with a view to diverting the waters to the north of the country. The Chinese government has, however, denied the report.
   Diversions of large amounts of water, above a certain threshold level, from the Brahmaputra river upstream in China and India could disrupt the lean season flows, trigger environmental catastrophe and salinity ingress and make an adverse impact on the livelihoods of the people downstream in Bangladesh, according to regional experts.
   
Dipu Moni claimed that the March 17-19 ministerial level meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission between Bangladesh and India was a progress towards signing of an interim agreement on the Teesta river. 'The JRC needs to exchange more information and data,' she said.
   Professor Ainun Nishat, an adviser to World Conservation Union-IUCN, said the proposal for basin-wise management of the Brahmaputra was a 'positive move'.
   'Basin-wise management should be followed for all 54 rivers shared by Bangladesh and India,' he said.
  
 There should be Joint Rivers Commission involving all co-riparian counties, including Bhutan and Nepal in respective cases, Nishat, also a former member of the Indo-Bangla Joint Rivers Commission, said.
   Bangladesh Economic Association president Quazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad also welcomed the government's move for joint management of the Brahmaputra river. 'It will be very good if the move becomes successful.'
   It will also be beneficial for the co-riparian countries, including China and India,' Kholiquzzaman, also executive director of Bangladesh Unnyan Parishad, said.
