Re: [mukto-mona] FW: Hasina's secularrule wopn't tolerate Hijab হিজ&# 65533;ব পরায় শিকú 9;



Farida apa
Mr. Anis Ahmed has heard about and probably also watched (maybe several times) Mira Nair's Kamasutra. I am not sure if it is a pornography or not (she made great movies), but to a shallow spectator it is definitely a juicy one. Looks like he has not heard about Vatsayan's classic Kamasutra.

 Typical Anis Ahmed mischief bringing in the subject of nudity to add to the irrelevancy of Sheikh Hasina and Kamasutra! Quite absurd! There was no mention of the word "freedom" in my writing. I talked of  "suppression of women" which I tried to point out is NOT recommended in the Qur'an.
           Why is it that men love to raise the subject of nudity whenever the topic of discussion is 'hijab'? One is forced to conclude that hijab must be pornographic.  I don't think women want to be clad in something that raises porno thoughts in immoral men's minds.

Only floating women and men who are so-called educated and never had family life of their own because of illicit and immoral activities can support for "freedom" of everything, such as unrestricted mixing and enjoyments, freedom of having good times with anybody anywhere, even freedom of exposing bodies! They mix-up decencies with indecencies in the name of freedom. They misinterpret the meaning of the freedom of wearing clothes and attires.
 
Perhaps, every citizen of the United States of America (the land of democracy and freedom) knows that "freedom" is not absolutely free and it has limitations. Yes, 
nudists also have their rights for "bare bodies" in America but within boundaries and restricted areas, not in public places because of indecencies. While women of Christian, Jews and Islam faiths can cover their heads in any public places of the United States of America. Victims of such rights can seek for justice under the US laws which seems not possible in Bangladesh because of secularists!
 
 
Conservative Christian and Jews have rights to exercise freedom of wearing clothes and attires in public places because of religious beliefs, not of politics. So as to the Muslim women for wearing "hijabs" which seem not possible in Bangladesh because of so called "freedom lovers". 
 
Not to mention, devils and witches always love to preach others with sweet word and by citing holy books for their hidden evil and immoral missions.

I am no longer surprised to see such low grade of commitment to moral sensitivity from Anis Ahmed. Our religion gives us moral guidance in many ways, and in many instances in the Qur'an we are instructed to treat women with respect.  This modern 'hijab' is a political thing and its exclusive purpose is to keep women suppressed as fellow human beings. Neither Sheikh Hasina nor Kamasutra has anything to do with it. To put it in those ridiculous contexts belies the man's intellectual dishonesty.

All over the Muslim jahan, people are beginning to feel the dishonesty and betrayal of Islam behind the so called conventions that have kept women suppressed.  Secularism is no longer being flouted as "la deen' or 'be deen', and enlightened people are demanding Secularism to be adopted as State policy even in Saudi Arabia, the bastion of Muslim conservatism.

Kamasutra, Ajanta and Elora may be "Arts of Love" by a few secular activists or intellectuals, but these are treated as "Arts of Sex" and "Pornographic" by most of the civilized and democratic countries in the world today, except India. "Kamsutra" and similar type movies and arts are rated "R" and "X" in the United States and by most of the countries due to adult contents (pornographic, semi pornographic materials), and strictly restricted for the viewing of the children under 17 years of old. While any movies made or arts created with decent contents (attires and materials), even "hijab" are allowed for viewing by all ages, regardless adults or children because of civilities and decencies.
 
JU Teacher may not openly wants her students to be nude in the class but her action encourages secular activists to adopt Kamasutra, Ajanta or Elora type dresses in Bangladesh gradually in the name of secularism.
 
Perhaps, that female JU Teacher is not aware that any victim can file compliant with the US Government for violating her rights, for wearing "hijab" if the incident would have occurred in America. Even victims can file criminal or civil cases. Such rights may not exist in secular India and Bangladesh, but are protected in the USA, the "Land of Democracy and Freedom" of the world.
 
The JU teacher in discussion and secular activists may not know that many activists, political and community male and female leaders in India are now suggesting and encouraging women/girls to wear modest dresses including "hijabs" or "n

Re: [mukto-mona] atrocities in PoK



Mr. QR: "The main issue with India has been on water sharing and India cheated us consistently in this area. Rest is pure stupidity. India could have gained a lot more by simply being a trusting partner of Bangladesh. Still I consider India to be the "Natural partner" of Bangladesh. However if India keeps betraying us on major issues, it is going to be very difficult to have a trusting partnership."

 
Bangladesh-India trusting relationship/partnership will not grow as long as Pakistani politics (i.e., Indophobia) is alive in Bangladesh. It is still a major political card in Bangladesh, as in Pakistan.

I do not think this situation will improve soon either, because Bangladeshi Media are continuously using Indophobic-propaganda to brainwash general public. We saw recently how Media manufactured fictitious presence of Indian-soldiers on the soil of Bangladesh, fighting alongside government forces, battling opposition revolts in Khulna. Average people cannot sort out what's true and what's false news. Public psyche is a precious asset; country's future depends on it. Such asset should not be allowed to be tinkered with falsehood.

Right now pro-independence Awami League is in power, but they may not be in power next time. Under this condition, no trusting partnership between India and Bangladesh can be built. We cannot build a trusting partnership with someone we fear; can we?

You got it right, it works for "Decorative purpose".

Indian central government failed to deliver it's promises to it's citizens since it's independence in most areas. Organic growth of certain industries are result of common Indian business owners and their genius (You can say the same for Bangladesh as well). Except education and few areas, India has failed to deliver promises it made to it's downtrodden citizens. Income inequities and corrupt business practices damage interest of common Indians.

Bangladesh was never a threat for India in any way (Security or economical) but over the years Indian politicians attempted to lumped Bangladesh with "Islamic Pakistan". As if we ever dreamed of doing anything more than having access to Indian market.

So the hysteria about Bangladeshis pouring into India was manufactured. Which later justified spending huge money on this stupid fence.

As I said earlier, you can randomly ask any citizen of Sri Lanka, Nepal or Bangladesh about how they view India and it's policy. You will see a pattern of a regional bully in their answers.

I honestly do not any logical reason (Only political reason makes sense) to paint all neighbors as "Potential enemies" of India. While this has been the era of knocking down fences, India spent money building one of the largest border fences of the world. It could have spent this money on education and job creation. 

This policies also helped political parties like BNP to gain popularity when it adopted anti-Indian rhetoric.

The main issue with India has been on water sharing and India cheated us consistently in this area. Rest is pure stupidity. India could have gained a lot more by simply being a trusting partner of Bangladesh. Still I consider India to be the "Natural partner" of Bangladesh.

I want to respond to Shah Deeldar's comments on Bangladeshis leaving for India in droves in search of better life: "Many Bangladeshis are already crossing Indian border for a better life ".  Here's what I wrote in 2012 in ALOCHONA discussion group:

I know this for a fact that the BJP and the Sang Parivar keep using these outrageously inflated no. of Bangladeshis in India as a part of their anti-Muslim propaganda. No one takes them seriously though. In fact, from time to time, progressive Indian journalists go out of their way to prove the Sanghis flat out wrong. This is also an anti-Bangladesh Sanghi propaganda in the sense that BD is supposed to be poor, and India is supposed to be a more developed country, hence the influx of starving Bengalis in rich India!

Funnily, most of the Hukka Hua gang of BD 'yahoogroups' communalist anti-India BNP/Jamaat bahini are parroting the same BJP/RSS Sang Parivar line! They repeat it ad nauseum. Sometimes they sound and act like the hired 'dharna' attendants and placard -bearers of the Sanghis. Oh! Poor little Bangladesh is being swallowed by big, evil, RICH India! The soppy-soppy self-pitying hides from view how un-little Bangladesh is. The world's seventh most populous country would be very hard to swallow by India, a country that is shamelessly unable to feed its own people due to sheer neglect and inefficiency!

The REALITY is that all international Human Development indicators are showing that Bangladesh is better off than India in many sectors, including food production, primary education for girl children, women in the work force, maternity healthcare and mortality rate, etc. Poverty and starvation in India has reached such a staggering proportion that last year's HD Indicators show India dropping below Sub-Saharan Africa's level. Just imagine!

There might be some truth in Dr. Das's prognosis. If we look at both Pakistan and Bangladesh's political culture and slow progress in wealth building since 1947, we can easily conclude that these two countries are still far away from the democracy and materializing their true potential. There will be a day when Islam itself would not be able provide any comfort to its blind subscribers and they might be totally envious of Indian progress and dynamism? With that they might take an about turn and may get on an Indian train or left behind in the darkness. Many Bangladeshis are already crossing Indian border for a better life. The question would be whether Indians would be ready for that challenge. If religious djinni is put back to the bottle, things may start looking different in the subcontinent? Who knows?

I find most of Dr. Das's points quite flawed.
 
Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan was a sensible man, and he wanted NWFP to be a part of the secular India, as opposed to the Islamic fanatic Pakistan. If his wish came to fruition in 1947, his people most likely would have been more civilized now, than what they are in reality now. However, looking at the reality on the ground, there is no reason to believe that the population of that land wants to be a part of India now.
 
I believe Islam would keep the Pakistani provinces together for a long time. Even as I agree that Pakistan is destined to fragment, I believe that it would take a very very long time; just guess how long it would take to wash off the religious fanaticism from the heads of the people there. There is no shortage of Islamic fanatics in any part of Pakistan now. I am convinced that if East Bengal were a contiguous state to what is Pakistan now, there would be no Bangladesh today. East Bengal had enough collaborators in 1971 to keep the province with Pakistan, if the Pakistani military had convenient arms supply for them and for themselves.
 
I do not believe India's leadership would be stupid enough to 'swallow fragmented parts' of what is Pakistan today. There is no vacant land to swallow; they would have to take in a lot of religious fanatics. No smart leadership would do that. And India has enough human right activists to stop anything like a mass expulsion of any kind of people from their homes, even if a crazy leadership (which is unlikely anyway) ever wanted to do that.

All the rivers in Pakistan originate in Kashmir. Besides, Peswar led by Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan wanted to join India and Baluchistan wanted to remain Independent.  Islam can not glue together the provinces of Pakistan, even Jiye Sind movement is not dead yet.  Pakistan is destined to be fragmented, India has high hope to swallow fragmented parts of the strange land created by the British rulers in 1947.

Any way, my proposition is that India and Pakistan agree to a time frame to create an independent Kashmir. 
The other reasons that make the proposition are
1. Pakistan will not want to lose Azad Kashmir although India is kind of tired of spending money and other resources to keep J&K with her. 
2. Kashmir part of J&K may want to be free but Jammu may not. 
3. India may want to have Kashmir and Jammu as two separate independent states as an alternative political solution.

The "Azad" in AJK smacks of oxymoronic rhetoric. Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) is neither a free territory, nor a province of Pakistan. Muzaffarabad has always been under the control of Islamabad and the curtailment of the freedom of expression is constitutionally protected. Without meaning to refer to the new name just bestowed on an old province, let me ask, what's in a name?
Here is what.
There are a number of reports that describe the human rights violations in Indian Occupied Kashmir but it is hard to come by reports of violations on Pakistan's side. The Pakistani government often pretends that the only problems faced by Kashmiris are in India. The official position that there are no human rights violations in AJK is a naïve and disingenuous position that needs to be challenged. According to the Freedom House World Freedom Reports, in 2008 Pakistan-administered Kashmir was given the status "Not Free". This index awards a score of 1 to a "free country" based on ratings of political rights and civil liberties.
