[mukto-mona] Re: A country gets the leaders it deserves



Indeed, "a country gets the leaders it deserves." I also agree with Dr. A. Rahman that Bangladesh deserved the leaders that it got over the years. I doubt though if they are really happy with such leaders. May be a lot people are happy in a perverted way; and in many instances a lot of people probably have given up to the frustrating reality.
Because I believe that "a country gets the leaders it deserves", I am generally not a big critic of any leader. My frustration is more with people who have big academic qualifications, yet are unworthy of being called "educated."

(This is AR, not QR)
I fully concur with the democratic values QR has highlighted below. In a democratic system one can disagree, often fundamentally, but that disagreement should not turn to aggressive behaviour, abusive language or violence. In Bangladesh, people and, in particular, our politicians don't appreciate this fundamental pre-requisite for democracy. Khaleda Zia had been lodging 'movement' ('andolon') burning cars, buses, trucks etc and in the process killing people before the recent election to bring down the government by force. She must have learnt it from Sheikh Hasina who said in 1996 that the then government must be brought down by force. Now Hasina has turned from poacher to gamekeeper! 

I am not criticising Sheikh Hasina or Khaleda Zia singularly. I am criticising the system which brought out such despicable characters into the so-called Bangladeshi 'democratic system'. As it is said, a country gets the leaders it deserves. Probably Bangladesh deserves such leaders and people are happy with them.

(This is QR talking not Dr. Rahman from UK)

I am glad member Roy's open response. I agree with most of it and wish to add couple more ideas ....

In our country you can support whatever political group you wish to support. I respect that. At the same time if someone else do support their choice of parties, you should show some level of maturity, tolerance and respect for that choice. I have been with this forum for a while. I am not actively involved with any parties but have some opinions that does not always follow any party line. I was shocked to see how nasty people can get with even symbolic differences in opinions.

I mean my likes or dislikes does not amount to much in our country but what the hell happen to democratic culture?

With your response, it is clear that the right group is NOT apolitical (As claimed earlier) but they "Time" their complaints to benefit their political party. So even if violence take place before election, they will remain quiet. I imagine will  do the opposite if the other party is involved.

The whole idea of any human right group is to be the spokesperson for that group. WHENEVER any violence or persecution takes place they should speak up right there!!

I am glad to see how common people stood up against violence in Ramu and post election violence in couple places in our country. They did not want to "Time"" their response to offer political benefit.


I believe - this is an ominous signal for the country. It shows that the country of Bangladesh is drifting towards Pakistani line of politics of getting rid of religious minorities from the land, and Awami League is slowly subscribing to that line of politics as well.

Pakistan in Bangladesh is left for the history books only. We broke up and moving forward with our own ways. Today I wish to see a Bangladesh who will look after it's own interest over Pakistan or India or any other foreign country.

certainly as neighbors we can learn from mistakes in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan etc but still bring up Pakistan in political arena does not work anymore.


As you know – Pakistan has gotten rid of religious minorities from that country. What did they gain? They have become the world's factory of religious extremists. I hate to see Bangladesh following that route.

>>>>>>>>>> I agree that we have to stand up against extremists. At the same time we should remember to respect common religious people who do not support violence or politics of religion. As said it before, we should have a simple ideal. Which is to stand up against violence in politics. It does not matter which party is the sponsor, we have to reject violence and injustice.

Shalom!

Dr. Rahman,

Criticism is an important tool of advancement, but it is only useful if you use it wisely. If you don't, it could be detrimental to your goal.

I see BNP as a center-left political party, much like Muslim League, and Awami League as a centrist progressive party. In my view, religious minorities have no other option, but to support Awami League in the election season. That's the reality, and the reason behind my objection to your criticism of Awami League before the general election.

You criticize Awami League for corruptions, which I do not disagree. But, I have much more at stake than corruption. I have to think about existence and survival as a religious minority in Bangladesh; corruption is the least of my problem, especially when it is a common phenomenon in both parties; probably much more prevalent in BNP. As a result, I thought - it was not the time for criticism of Awami League, as it would only help BNP. That was my reason for criticism of you at the time.

Time to criticize Awami League is now. They need to change their political equation. Based on the recent attacks on religious minorities in Hazarihat, Ramu, Pabna, etc., where Awami cadres took part, it is clear that Awami League is also moving slowly to the left of center, and it is becoming Awami Muslim League. In that case, there will be no difference left between BNP and Awami League, as we came to know. This is what we have said to Ambassador Mozena also.

I believe - this is an ominous signal for the country. It shows that the country of Bangladesh is drifting towards Pakistani line of politics of getting rid of religious minorities from the land, and Awami League is slowly subscribing to that line of politics as well.

As you know – Pakistan has gotten rid of religious minorities from that country. What did they gain? They have become the world's factory of religious extremists. I hate to see Bangladesh following that route.

First of
all, I am not the Mr. Rahman that Jiten Roy addresses below.
I am Dr. A. Rahman from England. I needed to identify myself
at the outset, lest Jiten Roy gets confused and start
directing fire at random.
It
is in Bengali culture to contradict and disagree even when
there is nothing contentious. Undeniably minorities in
Bangladesh, or even in East Pakistan, had been treated
disgracefully and often violently, which no civilised
society can condone. The governments of the day had either
ignored and overlooked or aided and abetted with the
perpetrators. The BNP/Jamaat had been carrying out religious
atrocities for a long time and the AL were no angels. There
had been undeniable evidence of AL involvement in burning,
looting Hindu properties before the recent elections. When I
raised this despicable behaviour of the ruling party, Jiten
Roy immediately branded me as a BNP supporter. I wrote many
articles against BNP/Jamaat's religious excesses and
criminality, but Jiten Roy ignored them all or was totally
oblivious. However, he seems to have got now a rational,
realistic view of the situation existing in Bangladesh. All
political parties, to a greater or lesser extent, are guilty
of religious misdemeanour and criminality.
I
agree with Jiten Roy that truth (or rather facts) must be
brought out. But one must be careful about what one calls
truth. For example, to Jamaatis the existence of God and His
divine messages are the truths. To Narendra Modi Hindu
chauvinism is the truth. So the establishment of truth is
not as clear cut as it seems. But we must bring out facts
and try to show to the world what is fair and what is not.

Re: [mukto-mona] Re: Meeting with Ambassador



(This is AR, not QR)
I fully concur with the democratic values QR has highlighted below. In a democratic system one can disagree, often fundamentally, but that disagreement should not turn to aggressive behaviour, abusive language or violence. In Bangladesh, people and, in particular, our politicians don't appreciate this fundamental pre-requisite for democracy. Khaleda Zia had been lodging 'movement' ('andolon') burning cars, buses, trucks etc and in the process killing people before the recent election to bring down the government by force. She must have learnt it from Sheikh Hasina who said in 1996 that the then government must be brought down by force. Now Hasina has turned from poacher to gamekeeper! 

I am not criticising Sheikh Hasina or Khaleda Zia singularly. I am criticising the system which brought out such despicable characters into the so-called Bangladeshi 'democratic system'. As it is said, a country gets the leaders it deserves. Probably Bangladesh deserves such leaders and people are happy with them.

(This is QR talking not Dr. Rahman from UK)

I am glad member Roy's open response. I agree with most of it and wish to add couple more ideas ....

In our country you can support whatever political group you wish to support. I respect that. At the same time if someone else do support their choice of parties, you should show some level of maturity, tolerance and respect for that choice. I have been with this forum for a while. I am not actively involved with any parties but have some opinions that does not always follow any party line. I was shocked to see how nasty people can get with even symbolic differences in opinions.

I mean my likes or dislikes does not amount to much in our country but what the hell happen to democratic culture?

With your response, it is clear that the right group is NOT apolitical (As claimed earlier) but they "Time" their complaints to benefit their political party. So even if violence take place before election, they will remain quiet. I imagine will  do the opposite if the other party is involved.

The whole idea of any human right group is to be the spokesperson for that group. WHENEVER any violence or persecution takes place they should speak up right there!!

I am glad to see how common people stood up against violence in Ramu and post election violence in couple places in our country. They did not want to "Time"" their response to offer political benefit.


I believe - this is an ominous signal for the country. It shows that the country of Bangladesh is drifting towards Pakistani line of politics of getting rid of religious minorities from the land, and Awami League is slowly subscribing to that line of politics as well.

Pakistan in Bangladesh is left for the history books only. We broke up and moving forward with our own ways. Today I wish to see a Bangladesh who will look after it's own interest over Pakistan or India or any other foreign country.

certainly as neighbors we can learn from mistakes in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan etc but still bring up Pakistan in political arena does not work anymore.


As you know – Pakistan has gotten rid of religious minorities from that country. What did they gain? They have become the world's factory of religious extremists. I hate to see Bangladesh following that route.

>>>>>>>>>> I agree that we have to stand up against extremists. At the same time we should remember to respect common religious people who do not support violence or politics of religion. As said it before, we should have a simple ideal. Which is to stand up against violence in politics. It does not matter which party is the sponsor, we have to reject violence and injustice.

Shalom!

Dr. Rahman,

Criticism is an important tool of advancement, but it is only useful if you use it wisely. If you don't, it could be detrimental to your goal.

I see BNP as a center-left political party, much like Muslim League, and Awami League as a centrist progressive party. In my view, religious minorities have no other option, but to support Awami League in the election season. That's the reality, and the reason behind my objection to your criticism of Awami League before the general election.

You criticize Awami League for corruptions, which I do not disagree. But, I have much more at stake than corruption. I have to think about existence and survival as a religious minority in Bangladesh; corruption is the least of my problem, especially when it is a common phenomenon in both parties; probably much more prevalent in BNP. As a result, I thought - it was not the time for criticism of Awami League, as it would only help BNP. That was my reason for criticism of you at the time.

Time to criticize Awami League is now. They need to change their political equation. Based on the recent attacks on religious minorities in Hazarihat, Ramu, Pabna, etc., where Awami cadres took part, it is clear that Awami League is also moving slowly to the left of center, and it is becoming Awami Muslim League. In that case, there will be no difference left between BNP and Awami League, as we came to know. This is what we have said to Ambassador Mozena also.

I believe - this is an ominous signal for the country. It shows that the country of Bangladesh is drifting towards Pakistani line of politics of getting rid of religious minorities from the land, and Awami League is slowly subscribing to that line of politics as well.

As you know – Pakistan has gotten rid of religious minorities from that country. What did they gain? They have become the world's factory of religious extremists. I hate to see Bangladesh following that route.

First of
all, I am not the Mr. Rahman that Jiten Roy addresses below.
I am Dr. A. Rahman from England. I needed to identify myself
at the outset, lest Jiten Roy gets confused and start
directing fire at random.
It
is in Bengali culture to contradict and disagree even when
there is nothing contentious. Undeniably minorities in
Bangladesh, or even in East Pakistan, had been treated
disgracefully and often violently, which no civilised
society can condone. The governments of the day had either
ignored and overlooked or aided and abetted with the
perpetrators. The BNP/Jamaat had been carrying out religious
atrocities for a long time and the AL were no angels. There
had been undeniable evidence of AL involvement in burning,
looting Hindu properties before the recent elections. When I
raised this despicable behaviour of the ruling party, Jiten
Roy immediately branded me as a BNP supporter. I wrote many
articles against BNP/Jamaat's religious excesses and
criminality, but Jiten Roy ignored them all or was totally
oblivious. However, he seems to have got now a rational,
realistic view of the situation existing in Bangladesh. All
political parties, to a greater or lesser extent, are guilty
of religious misdemeanour and criminality.
I
agree with Jiten Roy that truth (or rather facts) must be
brought out. But one must be careful about what one calls
truth. For example, to Jamaatis the existence of God and His
divine messages are the truths. To Narendra Modi Hindu
chauvinism is the truth. So the establishment of truth is
not as clear cut as it seems. But we must bring out facts
and try to show to the world what is fair and what is not.
