I live here, in Bangladesh, and it is getting pretty miserable! Jiten Roy as a concerned ex-pat Bangladeshi living abroad should sympathize with the Police who is trying to protect the community. The Islamists are on a rampage destroying the places of worship of non-Muslims without any provocation of any communal riot. This deeply hurt the Hindu, Chakma, Buddhist and other community members and damaged the sense of unity that was generated by the Shahbagh movement.
The Jamaat/Shibir gang is practicing Al Qaeda terrorism technique to cause mayhem, murder and widespread arson and beating up the police. You people are being grossly insensitive to our plight and the courage with which we are facing them when you call us 'barbarians' and snidely remark:
<< A more recent phenomenon in Bangladesh is another cadre of barbarians going on the street with bamboo goads, iron rods, machetes, and even guns, to stop the hartal enforcers.>>
Shame on you -- right wing Republican types who look down their 'bhadrolok' nose on other people's distress!

I would advise Dr. Roy to ignore Ms. Majid.
A cadre of barbarians goes on the street with bamboo goads, iron rods, machetes, and even guns, to force the public from going about their business. They do it to protest something, and to force the public to be on their side. It is not a civilized call to ask the public to support their cause. It is called hartal in Bangladesh.
The police force is either too small and weak, or unwilling to enforce civility. They are worthless at best for the public, who hardly gets a chance to freely support the hartal by staying home, or to freely oppose it by going about their business.
It should not be difficult for a sensible person to see that the whole system a jungle; and that this kind of incivility needs to stop.

" What the hell is Jiten Roy babbling about? << Political party should only have the right to call for the Hortal, and it is up to the people whether they will support it or not. Also, it is hard to judge the real support for a Hortal in presence of such intimidation. This cannot be a part of the democratic rights of any group. >>" Well, I am babbling about some practical issues, namely call for a strike and the process by which it is realized. While call for a strike is a democratic right, making it successful through anarchism is not. So, the responsible party for causing the violence should be liable for all damages. They must compensate all damages. If they are unable to do so, revoke the registration and ban that party from politics forever through the jurisdiction of the election commission. If this can be done – civility will come to politics, otherwise it will be always a political jungle. Can this be done? Not at all, now you know, why we are poor. I may be babbling again. Any party can make a strike successful through force and intimidation. Under that situation, no one will ever know how much public support was there for the cause. Then, what's the point of a strike? The goal is to sustain maximum damage to the economy, and enhance public sufferings. Now, you may ask - why so many people still support such political party. Also, look who are dying for such silly causes? Have you ever seen any of those big bosses getting hurt in any of the violence? Never, only stupid losers die for these silly causes. This can't happen in a smart society. Now, you know why they are so poor. I am sorry, I may be babbling again. Jiten Roy --- On Tue, 3/5/13, Farida Majid <farida_majid@hotmail.com> wrote:
