অজয় দাশগুপ্ত

কথায় কথায় বাংলাদেশের সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠ মানুষদের সাম্প্রদায়িক বলাটা এখন রোগের মতো হয়ে গিয়েছে। মানে দেশে অনেক কিছু আগের মতো নেই। পচন ঢুকেছে মগজে। পচন মেধায়। পচন রাজনীতিতে, সংস্কৃতিতে। তার মানে কি এই যে, সব মানুষ সারাদিন হিন্দু-বৌদ্ধ-খ্রিস্টানদের বিরুদ্বে লড়াই করছে? রাজনীতি ও দেশ যারা চালায় তারা আজ দেশ ও সমাজকে এমন একটা জায়গায় এনে দাঁড় করিয়েছে যেখানে বিশ্বাস ব্যাপারটাই নড়বড়ে। অথচ আপনি যদি ভালো করে চোখ মেলে দেখেন, রাজনীতি ও ধর্মান্ধতা সমার্থক না হলে মানুষের মন ও মননে এসবের কোনো প্রতিক্রিয়া নেই।

একটা সময় হিন্দুরা উচ্চপদে আসীন হতে পারত না। বিএনপি বা জামায়াতের শাসনামলে সুনীল গুপ্ত বা নিতাই বাবু কিংবা গয়েশ্বরের মতো দু-চারজন খয়ের খাঁ পোষার বাইরে তারা সংখ্যালঘুদের দূরে রাখত। এখন তো তা নয়। এদেশের প্রধান বিচারপতি এস কে সিনহা। যার হাতে দেশের সর্বোচ্চ আদালত ও আইন বিচারের ভার তিনি নিজেই অমুসলিম। যখন তিনি সিডনি এসেছিলেন তার সঙ্গে সৌজন্যমূলক দেখা ও একসঙ্গে খাবার সুযোগ হয়েছিল। তার কথা ও আচরণে যে দৃঢ়তা তা কিন্তু একবারও প্রমাণ করে না তিনি সংখ্যালঘু হিসেবে ভীত বা শঙ্কিত। এখন পুলিশের বড় কর্তা সচিব বা দেশের প্রশাসনেও অমুসলিমদের সংখ্যা কম না। সামাজিকভাবে তাদের যে ভয় সেটা রাষ্ট্র দূর করতে পারেনি বা চায়নি। চাইলে অবশ্যই পারত। কারণ আমাদের দেশের মানুষের বসবাস বা জীবনযাপন এমন একে অন্যের উপর নির্ভরশীল। তাছাড়া বাড়ি-ঘর, জায়গা-জমি এমনকি জীবনও পরস্পরের সঙ্গে জড়িয়ে। আমি কোনোভাবে বিশ্বাস করতে পারি না যারা আমাদের ছেলেবেলা থেকে বিয়ের সময় পর্যন্ত গায়ে খেটে টাকাপয়সা ধার দিয়ে বন্ধুর দায়িত্ব পালন করেছে, যারা আমাদের মা-বাবাকে নিজের মা-বাবার মতো সম্মান করেছে তারা আজ হিন্দু দেখলেই মারতে আসে। এখনো নব্বই শতাংশ মুসলিম বাঙালির দেশে অন্যরা ঘটা করে ধর্মীয় উৎসব করে, বিয়ে করে, সামাজিক অনুষ্ঠান করে। চট্টগ্রাম শহরের প্রাণকেন্দ্রে দিনরাত মাইক আর ঢাক-ঢোলের শব্দে মুখরিত জায়গাটিতে যেসব সংখ্যাগুরু মানুষের থাকেন তাদের ধৈর্য ও সহনশীলতার জন্য জাতীয় পুরস্কার দেওয়া উচিত। কিন্তু তারপরও কোনোদিন সেখানে অপ্রীতিকর কোনো ঘটনা ঘটেনি।

এ কথা বলছি না যে সমস্যা নেই। না থাকলে রামুর বুদ্ধমূর্তি টুকরো টুকরো হতো না। প্রায়শ দেবদেবীর ভাঙা মূর্তি দেখে মন খারাপ হতো না মানুষের। পূজা বা উৎসবের আগে আতঙ্ক থাকত না। শ্যামল কান্তিকে কান ধরাতে পারত না কেউ। সঙ্গে এটাও ভাবতে হবে মুসলমানদেরও কি একই সমস্যা পোহাতে হচ্ছে না? যতজন মুক্তচিন্তার মানুষ বলী হয়েছেন চাপাতির কোপে জান দিয়েছেন তাদের পরিচয় দেখুন। বেশির ভাগ সংখ্যাগুরু সম্প্রদায়ের। বিষয়গুলো একতরফা না। এর পেছনে আছে সংখ্যালঘু ও প্রগতিশীল মুসলমান নিধনের গভীর ষড়যন্ত্র। কোনো রাজনীতি তার দায় নেয় না। তারা আমাদের নিয়ে খেলে, খেলায়। আর সে সুযোগে ভারতবিদ্বেষ ও সাম্প্রদায়িকতার ছদ্মবেশে হিন্দুদের বা সংখ্যালঘুদের বাড়ি-ঘর, সম্পদ লুট হয়। চাকরি দেওয়া হয় না। একসময় নিরাপত্তার অভাবে তারা দেশ ছেড়ে চলে যায়। এই কাজে আওয়ামী লীগ, বিএনপি বা জামায়াত কারও উৎসাহ কিংবা আক্রোশের কমতি নেই। অথচ দায়টা গিয়ে পড়ে সাধারণ মুসলমানের উপর।

আমরা ভুলে যাই এদেশে এখনো নির্মলেন্দু গুণ আর মহাদের সাহাই বড় কবি। ভুলে যাই গয়েশ্বর বাবু যেভাবে শেখ হাসিনার সরকারের বিরুদ্ধে বলেন সেভাবে মওদুদ আহমেদরাও বলেন না। ভুলে যাই দাপট না থাকলেও প্রভাব প্রতিপত্তি অন্যদেরও কম না। আমরা যারা লিখি তাদের লেখা যারা ছাপেন তারাও মুসলমান। যেভাবে আমরা গড়পড়তা মুসলমানদের গালমন্দ করি, আক্রোশের শিকার করি, রাগে অভিমানে গায়ের ঝাল মেটাই তারা কি তা ধারণ করেন না? ফলে এ কথা বলার সুযোগ নেই সবাই সাম্প্রদায়িক বা একপেশে।

এই জাতির সংখ্যাগুরু মানুষরাই বাংলা ভাষার জন্য প্রাণ দিয়েছিলেন। ওপার বাংলায় বাংলা ভাষার উপর বলৎকার হিন্দির নির্যাতনের পরও তারা টুঁ শব্দটি করে না। এদেশের সংখ্যাগুরুরাই আমার সোনার বাংলা আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি বলে কেঁদে বুক ভাসায়। আবার যদি পতাকা ও সঙ্গীতের উপর আক্রমণ আসে তারাই সামাল দেবে। দু-চারজন সংখ্যালঘু বাদে বাকিরা বলবেন দূর এদেশে আর হবে না এবং দেশ ছেড়ে চলে যাবেন। যাদের কোথাও যাওয়ার জায়গা নেই তারাই আঁকড়ে রাখবেন এই মাটিকে। আমার ব্যক্তিগত অভিমতে বাঙালি মুসলমানের বন্ধুত্ব ও ভালোবাসা অকৃত্রিম। তারা মাইক্রো লেভেলে অসাধারণ। তবে সামাজিকভাবে মেক্রো লেভেলে তারা সমাজ ও রাজনীতি বা ধর্মের চাপে অসহায়। একশ্রেণির মানুষের সঙ্গে আছে জমি ও নারীর লোভ। তাই আসল জায়গায় হাত দিতে হবে। ঢালাও অভিযোগ বা তাদের পিঠ দেয়ালে না ঠেকিয়ে তাদের সঙ্গে থেকে লড়াই ও শুদ্ধতার কাজ করতে হবে। সংস্কৃতি এককালে তা করলেও এখন করছে না সেটাই ভয়ের। বাঙালি মুসলমানের যেন দোষের অন্ত নাই। আর বাকিরা সব ধোয়া তুলসী পাতা বা সাধুর দল। এ ভাবনা বন্ধ করতে হবে।

If the crowd was bigger for Obama than that of Trump, it was because almost all blacks attended this event, and many whites attended it to witness and be a part of the history in which the first black president was inaugurated.

Re: [mukto-mona] Trump opens first full day on job at church



Yep, the Hindu priest looked and talked most clownishly.

Here, they had a chance to show the image of their faith to the world, and they choose to present a cultist image of their faith, showing a vision of the past, not the present or the future.

The appearance of the Hindu representative appeared clownish to me. On top of that, his vocal ability was not appropriate for reciting scriptural verses in front of the worldwide audiences. So, Hindus have decided to present the devilish image in this inter-faith ceremony.
On the other hand, I found, the representation from the Christianity as the religion of the civilized people.

Trump opens first full day on job at church
  • WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump opened his first full day as president Saturday at a national prayer service, the final piece of transition business for the nation's new chief executive before a promised full-on shift into governing.
    Trump and his wife, Melania, and Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, sat in a front pew at Washington National Cathedral for the morning service after a day of pomp, pageantry and protests that accompanied his Friday inauguration.
    The interfaith service is a tradition for new presidents and is hosted by the Episcopal parish, but the decision to hold a prayer session for Trump has sparked debate among Episcopalians opposed to his policies.
    The service took place as throngs of women, many of them wearing bright pink, pointy-eared hats, descended on the nation's capital and other cities around the world Saturday for marches organized to push back against the new president.
    After church, Trump planned to visit the CIA for a meeting with members of the nation's intelligence community that could be fraught with tension.
    Trump has sharply criticized top U.S. intelligence officials over their conclusions that Russia interfered in the 2016 election on his behalf, as well as over leaks about classified briefings he received in the weeks before his he was sworn into office on Friday.
    Trump has signaled an intention to make a quick and clean break from the Obama administration.
    Before dancing with the new first lady at three inaugural balls Friday night, Trump signed an executive order aimed at former President Barack Obama's health care law. The order notes that Trump plans to seek the law's "prompt repeal." Meantime it allows the Health and Human Services Department and other federal agencies to delay implementing parts of the law that might impose a "fiscal burden" on states, health care providers, families or individuals.
    Trump also cleared the way for members of his national security team to take their places.
    He signed legislation granting James Mattis, his pick for defense secretary, a one-time exception from federal law barring former U.S. service members who have been out of uniform for less than seven years from holding the top Pentagon job. The restriction is meant to preserve civilian control of the military. Mattis, 66, retired from the Marine Corps in 2013.
    Hours later, the Senate confirmed Mattis, and retired Gen. John Kelly to lead the Homeland Security Department. Both were sworn into office late Friday by Vice President Mike Pence.
    Separately, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus issued a memo aimed at freezing some new regulations and halting ones the Obama administration had started.
    Trump, his wife, children and grandchildren spent Friday night at the White House. His daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, were seen snapping photos Saturday on the Truman balcony with a young girl who appeared to be their daughter.
    The Justice Department released a memo concluding the president's "special hiring authority" allows him to appoint Kushner to the administration and the move does not contravene federal anti-nepotism laws.
    The dustup over the prayer service marked another example of the backlash against Trump by religious leaders, artists, celebrities and others.
    While some in the largely liberal congregation objected to hosting the service, Bishop Mariann Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington wrote in a blog post that she shared "a sense of outrage at some of the president-elect's words and actions" but also she felt an obligation to welcome all people without qualification, especially those who disagree and need to find a way to work together.

Re: [mukto-mona] New form of democratic protests? What a shame!



The problem is these anarchist hippies, and have no worth, no ambition, no moral values in life, but to destroy achievements of others. George Soros's Move-on.org hirers these thugs to create anarchism around the world, especially in the Western World. Media give them power and publicity they need to thrive, just like ISIS get to spread their propaganda across the world.Very sad state of the world.

Professional hooligans? How these kinds of hooliganism help democratic causes? These criminals should be apprehended and forced to pay for the damages that they have caused to private properties.
