RE: [ALOCHONA] Rabindranath:enemy of Bangladesh People n humanity



 
 
After established of DU, Rabindronath Tagore came in DU Campus in 1922. He wrote his song "Jokon Porbe na Mor Payer Chinno....." Hemonto Mukopadday came in Dhaka just week before of his death in 1989. In Jogonnath Hall Mall, Hemonto said...Robindronath wrote this song here and now I am singing it here.(with Boudi).
 
We know Robindronath always MEANS Greater Bangladesh, not east Bengal or west Bengal. His Bengal was Noakhali to Shiliguri, Barishal to Medinipur, He never think separately east Bengal. We feel proud he was our Poet, poet of Bengal.
We should not say he is a great poet of Subcontinent. We should say Kobi Guru is our Poet. Indian Pakistani or other country's people can say- Robindronath is a poet of subcontinent.
 
Robindronath is a world poet "Bisso-kobi" minimum 5 countries national Anthon written by Rabindronath, India Nepal Srilanka Maldip and Bangladesh. If anybody say Rabindranath was an enemy of Bangladesh people and humanity....we know, they are nobody except- Paki minded Rajakar who want "Pak sar jamin shad bad" instead of Amar Sonar Bangla.

Mr Muhosin Ali,
I have showed how rabindranath is a enemy of Humanity n people of Bangladesh.I presented some facts. These are not created by me.First I came to know about this by Dr Ahmed Sharif  . In one of his article published  in Uttoradhikar , a literary quarterly of Bang la Academy. It is noted that Mr Sharif was one of those who came forward in support of Rabindranath when there was a strong propaganda against Rabindra nath.Dr sarif Showed How Rabindranath oppressed his subjects. 
 If any body snached ones religious right or copelled one to follow other religion then he is enemy of humanity.If someone stand against establishing university in bangladesh he is enemy of Bangladesh.

IT IS A NONSENSE PROPAGANDA LIKE THE AYUB-MONAYEM REGIME OF PAKISTAN DURING 1960'S AGAINST THE BENGALI CULTURE. THEY WERE ALREADY THROWN OUT OF THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH THE BRAVE PEOPLE OF BANGLADESH.
I AM WONDERING HOW ALOCHONA GROUP IS ENCOURAGING SUCH PAKISTANI OLD PROPAGANDA AND TRYING TO DEFAME KOBI GURU.

Rabindranath: enemy of Bangladesh People n humanity
 
Dear All,
Do you know that Poet" Bshakobi " rabindranath
 
1 )compelled his Muslim subjects Giving Chanda For Puja
2) compelled his Muslim subjects  giving Tax for Bared ( Lari rakharv jonno kor Adai korto)
3)He never established a single school in  his jomidari in Bangladesh( silaidoh , shajatpur or potisosr)
4)He opposed and protested the establishment of Dhaka University
5)oppression on subjects by Rabindranath is a  well established Truth.
He was getting Khetabs , as supported the British colonial regime when nazrul was jailed for  his role against the British regime.
 But sometimes some so called manobotabadi ask for establish the ideal of This rabindranath.
 
 What kind of "Manobotabadi was Rabindranath n his supporters?

[ALOCHONA] Excellent Documentary: The House on Gulmohar Street by Samina Mishra

Subject: Fwd: The House on Gulmohar Street

A friend shared this link. It's an excellent documentary -- on being a Muslim in contemporary urban India (New Delhi), on how one stumbles into an identity, how one tries to make sense of it. It is also about Okhla and Zakira Nagar and Jamia, the areas often called 'mini-pakistan." 30 minutes long.
 
It was made by a young woman who married a Hindu in a civil marriage, whose mother married a Hindu in a Muslim ceremony, whose grandmother married a first cousin, and whose great grandfather was Dr. Zakir Husain, the famous educationist and political figure.

[ALOCHONA] Stoning a woman: Only the suffering is real, any justification of it is fake and crininal



 
  I post the following pictures for those who adamently refused to use their God-given faculty of 'imagination' and condemned the photo illustration of stoning a woman in a local newspaper (April, 02, 2010) as an example of liberal "anti-Islamism'. 

I had checked  the Star magazine and found it to be a photo illustration, a sort of art-work for the lead article: "Crime in the Name of Belief."
 
         http://www.thedailystar.net/magazine/2010/02/04/cover.htm
 
It was NOT presented as a journalistic photo. There were no captions identifying the figures in the photo, I argued, -- no name, date or place attached to it. It was merely a dramatized photographic art-work to illustrate the topic at hand. Yet there was a big noise made about fakery, how the photo session was "staged"  and therefore dishonest, disingenuous, conspiracy against Islam, etc.      
 
         I was roundly ridiculed as anti-Islamic, as if stoning women as punishment of sinful women is such an integral part of Islam that any criticism of any inhuman aspect of it must be branded automatically as anti-Islamic.  Taj Hashmi even wrote a long article, "Mullahs are Coming! Mullahs are Coming!" taunting the Islamophobes and fear-mongers.
 
          Below is an example of photo-journalism that depicts an actual event of stoning a young woman to death in Somalia, a country plunged in the depth of lawlessness in the name of Sharia, and no one in the world community seems to care. These pictures are stark, in plain view, and require no imagination nor any feeling for a fellow human being.
Supporters of a brutal genocide -- Genocide 1971 of Bangladesh -- bear the hearts and minds of these stone-throwers of Somalia.

[ALOCHONA] Their bad politics, their dismal record



Their bad politics, their dismal record

Syed Badrul Ahsan



BEGUM Khaleda Zia would like a change of government in Bangladesh. And to make sure things happen in line with her desire, she stands ready to lead a movement, spearheaded by her party, that will bring about the fall of the Awami League-led grand alliance government.

All of this sounds rather strange, for quite a few reasons. Go into that matter of a movement first. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party is not quite the vehicle you envision as a symbol of popular uprising. We will not waste words on this point here, but do go into the history of the party since its formation in the late 1970s and nowhere will you find an instance of it leading a mass upsurge in defence of democratic rights in the country. Yes, yes! You will be sorely tempted to point to the struggle against the Ershad autocracy in the 1980s. Do not forget, though, that had the Awami League not been there as the leading voice of the fifteen-party alliance, not much would have happened.

The difficulty with the BNP is the tradition it has come wrapped in. Its rise in the late 1970s, per courtesy of Bangladesh's first military dictator, was made possible through bringing together an assortment of elements whose sole objective was to keep the Awami League at bay.

So-called leftists happy to identify themselves as pro-Peking; old Pakistan followers, whose collaboration with the Pakistan army in 1971 disqualified them from enjoying the fruits of Bengali liberation; and communal elements not quite happy about Bengali nationalism banded together to form the party, which in truth was a platform arrayed against the fundamental principles on which the War of Liberation was waged in 1971.

In more ways than one, the BNP was a reminder of what the Convention Muslim League used to be in Ayub-era Pakistan -- a happy gathering of men and women whose future was assured by association with the army. Such a happenstance is at variance with talk of a movement.

The bigger problem with Begum Zia and her party is somewhere else. And that is the corruption typified by the BNP in the years between 2001 and 2006. Let us make no mistake: the government of the BNP-Jamaat alliance is the worst example of a political administration in the history of this country. You only have to recall the tales of the simple men who had nothing in 2001 but by 2006 were the owners of newspapers and television channels.

The tales of the sons of the Begum and their associates still put us all to collective shame. The indignities that respectable men like Muntasir Mamoon and Saber Hossain Chowdhury were put through, the search for a scapegoat for the August 21 explosions in the person of a naïve Joj Miah, the mass arrests of citizens day after day, the farce of an Election Commission under Justice Aziz, the brazen attempts to replace the Proclamation of Independence with a fictitious account of reality into the constitution are a measure of the sufferings we went through as citizens in the years when Begum Zia presided over the fortunes of this country.

And now these very people who would not let us out of the deep, dark woods speak of their desire to topple a legally, constitutionally elected government. You do not do that in a political condition where the nation has chosen the men and women who will preside over the state for five years. And you especially refrain from doing that when your own reputation is not something to be proud of. Ah, but who listens? Begum Zia, having remained absolutely silent for weeks and months on the matter of the war crimes trials, now decides that speaking out on the issue is in order.

Sheikh Hasina's government, she proclaims vociferously, is set to divide the nation through these trials. Give your memory a little jog. Wasn't it the military regime of the BNP's founder which sliced through Bengali national unity in the 1970s with its ham-fisted treatment of the fundamental principles of this people's republic? "Bangladeshi nationalism" was never an invention of the Awami League, if you would care to remember. Secular Bengalis did not protect the assassins of 1975 for decades on end.

The Begum is indignant about the war crimes trials and would first like the war criminals in the Awami League to be put in the dock. That is a bit rich coming from one in whose party and government known collaborators of the Pakistan occupation army have cheerily run the show. It was a shame for the BNP to have allowed war criminals into it in the first place. It was a scandal when it co-opted two known associates of the Pakistan occupation army in the government it formed in October 2001.

Begum Zia and her party have got their priorities all wrong. It is not enough for them to hammer away at the Awami League government's putative incompetence and corruption. They will be doing themselves and the country much good if they go for a degree of introspection, acknowledge the blunders they made in the years in office and inform the nation that they are ready to reform themselves. Sheikh Hasina's government has been making mistakes, yes. Begum Zia's party, given its dismal record in government, is not quite qualified to pronounce judgment on it.

RE: [ALOCHONA] Ruling by Islam in the UK



 

  "If you want to minimise civilian casualty, then Jihad is the best option!"

              This is  typical sophistry of Yamin Zakaria who, like the Jehadists, is obssessed by the Empire/Caliphate.  He feels he is a 'nobody' as a Muslim in England unless he makes moral claims of 'superority' which superiority comes from his belonging to another EMPIRE, a counter-empire, one that retains the structure of the very empire that is oppressing him at the moment.  He wants a MUSLIM EMPIRE to replace the present Christian one!     

 
                   Like Monaz, I too had been pressed to join the Alochona group by its founder back in 1998. I have taken active part in many insightful discussions on Democracy, Law, culture, history of Bengal, etc.  It saddens me to see it fall in the hands of semi-literates posing Rabindranath experts and psychpaths indulging in sophistry to promote wanton murder in the name of religion as an antidote to "civilian casualty."

Subject: [ALOCHONA] Ruling by Islam in the UK

 

Ruling by Islam in the UK

If David Cameron succeeds in becoming the next Prime Minister and keeps his pre-election promise, the group Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HT) faces the prospect of a ban. The group is characterised by its noble quest to re-establish the Caliphate in the Muslim world, which will be the starting point to unify the Muslim nations and remove the oppressive regimes, establish peace and justice. The leadership of HT reassured the previous regime that it has no intention of calling for the Caliphate in the UK, and resorted to considerable amount of lobbying to prevent the ban, and it seems they succeeded in persuading the MPs to renew the current legislation that permits the group the operate.

However, the statement of HT is misleading on the subject of the Caliphate for UK. Far as I remember, the Islamic opinion adopted by HT is that - the Islamic State will have no permanent fixed borders, until the entire world is brought under the domain of Islam. Thus, it may not call for the Caliphate today in the UK, but bringing UK under the domain of the Caliphate is not to be excluded in the future. Either pragmatism or fear caused the group's leadership not to clarify their position on the issue.

If bullets and bombs are used to spread democracy, then surely they can use the same tools for spreading the domain of Islam. But, remember, the fundamental objective of the Caliphate is not material conquest or oil-piracy - it is the spread of Islam. Thus, minimising civilian casualty is an inherent feature of the Caliphate, not a convenient political slogan to exercise after inflicting massive collateral damage, because annihilation would defeat the objective of spreading Islam. If you want to minimise civilian casualty, then Jihad is the best option!

I am perplexed by the controversy over the Caliphate. It existed for over a thousand years; people of different races, culture and religion lived together and prospered. One can still see the main tourist attraction in Spain is the Alhambra, which is the product of the Caliphate. The non-Muslims never faced the Islamic Inquisition or any form of Pogroms, unless the ruler had deviated significantly from the basic principles of Islam. I cannot think of one example of persecution or atrocities committed against non-Muslims under the Caliphate.

Therefore, it seems the controversy is a by-product of the war propaganda, as the UK government continues to pursue the American-led war on terror by terrorising the civilians in the Muslim world. Maybe, it also reflects the deep insecurity of leading democracies, as they fear the possible challenge posed by a future Caliphate. Why not debate groups like Hizb-ut-Tahrir on the ideological alternatives rather than impose a ban? Why are the democracies so afraid to have an open discussion on this issue? Such a reaction tells me that they are a bunch of intolerant freedom-fundamentalists, operating behind their media Niqab!

If we live in a democratic free society, then everyone has the right to express an opinion on how we should govern ourselves, unless it is a dictatorship of democracy! The Communists and the Socialists are calling for a specific type government, as Muslims we should have every right to call for the Caliphate in the UK. The entire universe is the creation of God and the whole world should be subjected to the divine laws, rather than exploitative capitalism. The fundamental divine laws are fixed; it is not possible for anyone to manipulate it without violating the laws. For example, one could not incarcerate any non-Muslim simply by inventing a term like illegal-combatants. The majority Muslim population could not even debate if the rights of non-Muslims can be retracted. Everyone knows the score under the Caliphate, and no slimy politician can wag their lizard tongue to tell you otherwise.

Perhaps, one day the UK may become a Muslim majority nation, as the Muslim population continues to grow at a rapid rate in relation to non-Muslim community who are experiencing a slow growth in population, largely caused by a breakdown of family values with their zeal for freedom, and promoting things like homosexuality; also the number of converts to Islam continue to flow despite the adverse media propaganda. Then the introduction of Sharia laws would be natural, and in compliance with the principles of majority rule, that is assuming the Muslims continue to aspire to this. Of course, nobody knows the future, a meteor might strike or a devastating earthquake and a Tsunami might change the entire picture, or the Muslims may assimilate and lose their zeal.

At present, the Muslims in the UK are content to live as peaceful democratic citizens, and are busy preserving their identity and interests, as they face a rising tide of Islamophobia. The Niqab has been banned in Belgium, so has the Minaret in Switzerland; no purpose-built Mosques are allowed in some European countries and media is constantly spitting on the Muslims; the new Jews of Europe they say. Naturally, the pressure to assimilate is increasing. Adopting an isolationist approach of the past is no longer an option, nor is the community in a position to call for the Caliphate in the UK. The only option left is to engage with the majority non-Muslim population that can only benefit the cause of Islam and Muslims.

Those who have employed the antagonistic approach in the past should reflect on their record of success, which is very little. Bulk of the converts to Islam has come through the interaction of the ordinary Muslims, as has bulk of the institutions like the numerous Mosques, Charity organisations, and community centres. Taking a simplistic view that antagonising the non-Muslims is a sign of success, only demonstrate a superficial understanding of the example of the Prophet and his companions. In general, the early Muslims did not adopt a confrontational approach, in Medina there were rarely any examples of confrontation; in Mecca, the antagonising was largely initiated by the non-Muslims for various reason.

As the Quran says, "Indeed Allah is with those who are patient"
