Immediate suspension of debt payments and better still, cancellation of debt, must take priority.</div> <div>Instead, they advise governments to opt for economic recovery. The economic recovery will only be possible from "debt relief" and "debt justice."</div> <div>Bangladesh and other developing countries have given special attention in the wake of the coronavirus crisis and engaged in servicing external debts to international financial institutions.</div> <div>The governments are deliberately diverting funds from education, human development, and infrastructure development sectors, whereas the health and safety net programs are implemented under a shoe-string budget.</div> <div>According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the pandemic has pushed another 32 million people in poor countries into abject poverty.</div> <div>Another report by the International Finance Institute highlights the $272 trillion global debt, a new high, in the third quarter of 2020 and warns us about the "attack of the debt tsunami."</div> <div>There are issues in which countries while seeking assistance from international financial institutions, are often imposed conditionalities that have not necessarily been negotiated with borrower states. These conditionalities are even seen in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.</div> <div>The government deliberately does not involve the citizens to participate in consultations, discussions, or negotiations. Such conditionalities increase the country's chances of falling into a "debt-trap."</div> <div>Ultimately, it is the people that have to foot the debt repayment after authorities impose additional taxes and levies to recover from the vicious cycle of debt.</div> <div>According to standards of international law, international financial institutions should be held responsible for complicity in the imposition of economic reforms that violate human rights, which is well documented.</div> <div>Governments and major multilateral institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, and regional development banks have used repayment of public debt to generalize policies that have damaged public health systems.</div> <div>This has meant job cuts in the health sector, job instability, reduced numbers of hospital beds, closing down neighbourhood health services, increased medical costs both for care and medicines, under-investment in infrastructure and equipment, and privatization of various sections of the health sector along with public under-investment in research and development for treatment, which is to the advantage of big private pharmaceutical groups and companies. </div> <div>Even before the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, these policies had already led to an enormous loss of human lives, and all around the world, health personnel were organizing protests.</div> <div>Neither the World Bank nor the IMF have cancelled any debts since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. </div> <div>Although they have made endless calculated declarations to give the impression that they are taking very strong measures. This is completely false.</div> <div>Worse still, since March 2020, the IMF has extended the loan agreements that entail continuing with the structural measures enumerated above. As for the World Bank, since March 2020 it has received more in debt repayments from developing countries than it has paid out to finance either donations or loans.</div> <div>Eminent development economist, Dr Atiur Rahman states that "We want to fight the coronavirus and, beyond that, improve the health and living conditions of populations, [for which] emergency measures must be taken."</div> <div>Immediate suspension of debt payments and cancellation of debt must take priority, suggests former Bangladesh Bank's governor Dr Rahman.</div> <div>The austerity measures do not contribute to economic recovery, but instead have negative consequences in terms of economic growth, debt ratios, and equality, and routinely result in a series of negative human rights impacts.</div> <div><i style="">First published in the Dhaka Tribune, 8 December 2020</i></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><b><i>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

The rightist regime was enraged by his campaign for the trial of the war criminals of 1971.</div> <div>The regime to harass critics also accused Advocate Rana Das Gupta (presently prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal) and former Dainik Janakantha's Cox's Bazar correspondent Tofael Ahmed.</div> <div>During the repressive regime during 2002-2006 of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) coalition with Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami, at least 80 journalists were arrested and tortured -- another 200 journalists were slapped with trumped-up charges.</div> <div>Scores of journalists were brutally attacked and were hospitalized, mostly in the southern districts -- from Satkhira to Bhola. Many fled their district for their safety, either after being physically attacked or receiving death threats.</div> <div>The infamous Hawa Bhaban was the mastermind of harassment and intimidation -- which led to numerous arrests, including war crimes historian Prof Muntassir Mamun, Enamul Hoque Chowdhury (present editor of the Daily Sun), and journalist Barun Bhaumik Nayan, among many others. Both the journalists were brutalized during interrogation to sign fictitious confessional statements.</div> <div>In a shameful move, the pro-government journalist leaders of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ), Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ), and National Press Club refrained from protesting the arrests, torture, and intimidations of hundreds of journalists. Instead, the journalist leaders, spearheaded by Shaukat Mahmood, a journalist turned politician desired to "teach the journalists a lesson" with the blessing of Hawa Bhaban, the office of Tarique Rahman, and the rogue son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.</div> <div>It felt as if a thunderbolt struck me when Mozzem Hossain, a journalist of BBC Bangla in Bush House, London told me that the foreign journalists, Priscilla Raj, and the driver of a rented vehicle were arrested under a fictitious sedition case.</div> <div>I quickly gave my first reaction to both BBC Bangla, BBC World Service, and numerous international media. The daily newspapers and private news channels had been agog with the sensational news of the detention of foreign journalists.</div> <div>The news also splashed in major global media, as the regime's "Operation Clean Heart" was squarely blamed for extra-judicial deaths and enforced disappearances of hundreds of opposition members deemed a threat to the ruling party. Janakantha newspaper reported that the FIR filed with Motijheel Police Station had only four names -- foreign journalists, an interpreter, and the name of a driver. </div> <div>Next to the driver's name was the handwritten name "alias Saleem Samad." My name was blue-pencilled by the Home Affairs Ministry, by the hybrid journalist leaders. </div> <div>My defense lawyers, Barrister Amirul Islam and Barrister Tania Amir, explained that I was neither aged 28, nor a driver by profession, and my parent's name and address do not match the one mentioned in the police report. </div> <div>On the fourth day, the home of my parents in Pallabi, where I also lived with my family, was thoroughly searched for 28 (RPT 28) hours. </div> <div>My family was on the run, as security agencies wanted to retrieve the spare hard-disk from my son Atisha Rahbar. My parents were locked downstairs, while every inch of the two-storied house was thoroughly searched. All the books and documents were carefully scanned. </div> <div>On the fifth day, in the wee hours of Friday during the month of Ramadan, I was picked up by detectives from a flat in Uttara belonging to a Crack Platoon veteran, my school-mate Ishtiaq Aziz Ulfat. </div> <div>I was brought to the Detective Branch office at Mintoo Road. A delinquent police officer Kohinoor Miah attacked me with a baton and, also brandishing his service pistol on my forehead, accused me of betraying the country and slandering the image of the state. Well, it was Khaleda's regime that smeared the country.</div> <div>After 55 days, on the order of the High Court, I was freed on January 18, 2003.</div> <div><br> </div> <div><i>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 1 December 2020</i></div> <div><i><b>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, and recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

Germany wanted the 3rd Reich and regain its pride and position; America is in the throes of "make America great again". Joe Biden may dampen it down a bit, but it seems to me that some sort of serious conflagration arising from America is likely to take place. <br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 2em; border-left:2px solid #00ADE5; white-space: pre-wrap "><br><br>------ Original Message ------<br>From: "Farida Majid farida_majid@hotmail.com [mukto-mona]" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com><br>To: "pfc-friends@googlegroups.com" <pfc-friends@googlegroups.com>; "mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com>; "Shamim o Robin" <futureofbangladesh@yahoogroups.com><br>Sent: Tuesday, 1 Dec, 20 At 22:48<br>Subject: [mukto-mona] 1918 Germany Has a Warning for America<br><br> <span style="display: none;"> </span> <div id="ygrp-mlmsg" style=""> <div id="ygrp-msg" style=""> <div id="ygrp-text"> <p> </p><div style="font-family: Calibri , Helvetica , sans-serif;font-size: 12.0pt;color: rgb(0,0,0);"> <div class="css-53u6y8" style="font-size: 20.0px;font-family: "Times New Roman";color: rgb(51,51,51);background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="font-family: nyt-imperial , georgia , "times new roman" , times , serif;width: 600.0px;max-width: 100.0%;"> << The startling aspect about the Dolchstosslegende is this: It did not grow weaker after 1918 but stronger. In the face of humiliation and unable or unwilling to cope with the truth, many Germans embarked on a disastrous self-delusion: The nation had been betrayed, but its honor and greatness could never be lost. And those without a sense of national duty and righteousness — the left and even the elected government of the new republic — could never be legitimate custodians of the country.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="font-family: nyt-imperial , georgia , "times new roman" , times , serif;width: 600.0px;max-width: 100.0%;"> In this way, the myth was not just the sharp wedge that drove the Weimar Republic apart. It was also at the heart of Nazi propaganda, and instrumental in justifying violence against opponents. The key to Hitler's success was that, by 1933, a considerable part of the German electorate had put the ideas embodied in the myth — honor, greatness, national pride — above democracy.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="font-family: nyt-imperial , georgia , "times new roman" , times , serif;width: 600.0px;max-width: 100.0%;"> The Germans were so worn down by the lost war, unemployment and international humiliation that they fell prey to the promises of a "Führer" who cracked down hard on anyone perceived as "traitors," leftists and Jews above all. The stab-in-the-back myth was central to it all. When Hitler became chancellor on Jan. 30, 1933, the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter wrote that "irrepressible pride goes through the millions" who fought so long to "undo the shame of 9 November 1918."</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="font-family: nyt-imperial , georgia , "times new roman" , times , serif;width: 600.0px;max-width: 100.0%;"> Germany's first democracy fell. Without a basic consensus built on a shared reality, society split into groups of ardent, uncompromising partisans. And in an atmosphere of mistrust and paranoia, the notion that dissenters were threats to the nation steadily took hold.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="font-family: nyt-imperial , georgia , "times new roman" , times , serif;width: 600.0px;max-width: 100.0%;"> Alarmingly, that seems to be exactly what is happening in the United States today.

Since the election, millions of Trump supporters have installed<span> </span><a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/525795-parlers-post-election-popularity-sparks-misinformation-concerns" title="" target="_blank" style="margin: 0.0px;text-decoration: underline;color: rgb(50,104,145);">the alternative social media app Parler</a>.

In the face of humiliation and unable or unwilling to cope with the truth, many Germans embarked on a disastrous self-delusion: The nation had been betrayed, but its honor and greatness could never be lost. And those without a sense of national duty and righteousness — the left and even the elected government of the new republic — could never be legitimate custodians of the country.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="margin:0px 0px 0.9375rem;text-size-adjust:100%;font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.875rem;font-family:nyt-imperial, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif;width:600px;max-width:100%"> In this way, the myth was not just the sharp wedge that drove the Weimar Republic apart. It was also at the heart of Nazi propaganda, and instrumental in justifying violence against opponents. The key to Hitler's success was that, by 1933, a considerable part of the German electorate had put the ideas embodied in the myth — honor, greatness, national pride — above democracy.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="margin:0px 0px 0.9375rem;text-size-adjust:100%;font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.875rem;font-family:nyt-imperial, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif;width:600px;max-width:100%"> The Germans were so worn down by the lost war, unemployment and international humiliation that they fell prey to the promises of a "Führer" who cracked down hard on anyone perceived as "traitors," leftists and Jews above all. The stab-in-the-back myth was central to it all. When Hitler became chancellor on Jan. 30, 1933, the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter wrote that "irrepressible pride goes through the millions" who fought so long to "undo the shame of 9 November 1918."</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="margin:0px 0px 0.9375rem;text-size-adjust:100%;font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.875rem;font-family:nyt-imperial, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif;width:600px;max-width:100%"> Germany's first democracy fell. Without a basic consensus built on a shared reality, society split into groups of ardent, uncompromising partisans. And in an atmosphere of mistrust and paranoia, the notion that dissenters were threats to the nation steadily took hold.</p> <p class="css-158dogj evys1bk0" style="margin:0px 0px 0.9375rem;text-size-adjust:100%;font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.875rem;font-family:nyt-imperial, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif;width:600px;max-width:100%"> Alarmingly, that seems to be exactly what is happening in the United States today.

The international creditors lend irresponsibly and unfairly, driven by predatory lending. The money is used to finance harmful projects and policies, failing to comply with legal and democratic requirements, is saddled with onerous and unjust terms, and incurred by private corporations but assumed by governments or incurred through public guarantees of private profits.</div> <div>The conditional loans, including cuts in public services and social protection, and severe austerity programs, have also caused as great if not greater harm than debt servicing, especially on women and girls, indigenous people, and the most impoverished and vulnerable people and communities.</div> <div>CSOs argue that the demand is much more than "debt relief," but also for "debt justice."</div> <div><br> </div> <div><i>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 24 November 2020</i></div> <div><i><br> </i></div> <div><i>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, and recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

The school students' nutritional intake of calories was 545 kcal and protein 11.46 gm. The hot cooked meal is culture-specific and nutrition-rich. Dietary diversity is ensured through a change in the recipe to maintain appetite.</div> <div>The midday meal in rural and urban schools mitigates short-term hunger -- for most students, it was the only full meal.</div> <div>A study by key civil servants in Bangladesh known as MATT (Managing at Top Team) showed that almost 60% of children go to school hungry. </div> <div>In the third year, the school attendance in urban areas in BRAC-operated midday meal projects increased from 55% (2011) to 81% (2013), and in rural areas, attendance increased from 64% (2011) to 92% (2013).</div> <div>Basanta Kar Kumar, chief of Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) in Bangladesh pushed the idea of a midday meal in schools with the Bangladesh government in 2011 after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's political pledge in Vision 2021 articulated a strong priority on primary school education and nutrition to ensure food security.</div> <div>However, the Covid-19 crisis has contributed to a child rights crisis. For children, the costs of the pandemic were immediate.</div> <div>In Bangladesh, like most developing countries, accessibility and affordability of food and nutrition become challenging, while keeping staple food distribution and local food markets is an uphill task for the governments amidst a lack of accountability and weak transparency.</div> <div>The brunt of the suffering when it comes to access to adequate nutrition with depleting income sources falls on the children, adolescents, and women.</div> <div>According to the Primary Education Census (2011), there are 20 million primary school-age children, of which 18.4 million children are enrolled in primary schools.</div> <div>Various studies show that quality education in primary school is hindered by a high dropout rate caused by hunger and malnutrition and widespread micronutrient deficiencies.</div> <div>The provision of nutritious food improves the cognitive and physical development of children, remarks Basanta. An estimated 20.9% have sub-clinical Vitamin-A deficiency, 19.1% are anaemic, and 40% are iodine deficient.</div> <div>To ensure the sustainability of the free-midday meal in schools in Trishal, local government representatives, school committees, and participation of mothers of the students have ensured accountability of free mid-day meals in schools.</div> <div>Unfortunately, after the departure of Basanta, the fruitful negotiations with development partners and international multilateral donors have become weak.</div> <div>The pioneering program initiated by GAIN with development partners BRAC and Banchte Shekha emerged as a "game-changer." Recently the government renewed commitment to replicate and scale up the school feeding model nation-wide in primary schools.</div> <div>"It is critical to ensure food diversity and adequate nutrition, including key micronutrients and fortified staples," Basanta said.</div> <div>On Universal Children's Day which is on November 20, the United Nations claims a definite impact has been found in investing in children. In response to the global nutrition crisis, school feeding programs can be adapted and scaled up to reach the most vulnerable children.</div> <div><br> </div> <div><i>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 17 November 2020</i></div> <div><i><br> </i></div> <div><i>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

Five years later, Suu Kyi remains popular, but 2020 has widened the image from 2015.</div> <div>Suu Kyi has fallen from the grace of world leaders and is no longer a democracy icon, primarily because she mishandled the rogue military crackdown against the ethnic Rohingya Muslim population, which the United Nations said had "the hallmarks of genocide."</div> <div>More than a million Rohingya fled from Rakhine State into neighbouring Bangladesh in 2016 and 2017 after the military waged a campaign of persecution, which the United Nations dubbed as "textbook ethnic cleansing."</div> <div>The Rohingya's citizenship rights were deliberately and permanently erased, restricting them to vote under the discriminatory 1982 Citizenship Law. Even the Rohingya political parties were banned from contesting the elections.</div> <div>In the face of global criticism, last year Suu Kyi defended her country's military crackdown and denied genocide at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, explaining that the claims were "incomplete and misleading."</div> <div>Many international observers fear that the November elections will not be free, fair, and credible, citing disenfranchisement and campaign restrictions imposed by the Union Election Commission (UEC).</div> <div>Military chief Gen Min Aung Hlaing's warnings to the UEC on electioneering directives soured relationships with the government. President U Win Myint stated that the military's "remarks over the election were inciting instability and causing public concern."</div> <div>Bertil Lintner, a Swedish journalist who has written extensively about Myanmar's armed conflicts, politics, and ethnic crises for nearly 40 years, says it is unfortunate that elections have been suspended in several constituencies, primarily in ethnic areas where armed conflict rages against the Myanmar regime.</div> <div>China wants Suu Kyi to win Myanmar's polls. China's interests will be better served by the Suu Kyi-led status quo than a return to military-dominated rule. Much has changed since the leaders in Beijing favoured Myanmar's authoritarian military regime and were deeply suspicious of then opposition leader Suu Kyi.</div> <div>The Chinese Communist Party has made no secret that they would prefer to see Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) win and are wary of the military top brass, whom they find increasingly difficult to influence and control.</div> <div>Lintner also agrees that the Myanmar foreign policy will likely take its course after the poll -- towards a stronger and closer relationship with China. While the Tatmadaw sees it as their pledge to defend the nation's sovereignty and seeks to lessen dependence on China, Suu Kyi turned to Beijing for the economic and controversial Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) after her allies and admirers in the West distanced themselves from her over the Rohingya refugee crisis.</div> <div>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 10 November 2020</div> <div>Saleem Samad, is an independent journalist, media rights defender, recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

The diplomatic relations have gone cold after Islamabad attempted to ally with Turkey.</div> <div>In recent times, the relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Turkey have dived further after the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018.</div> <div>The Kingdom's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (popularly known as MBS), squeezed Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan to repay a $1 billion loan.</div> <div>To further humiliate Pakistan, the Kingdom announced that the $1 billion, repaid by Pakistan, would be invested in Reliance Jio Fibre in India.</div> <div>Embarrassed, Pakistan saved its face by repaying the debt with the help of China, and Khan's electoral vision for "Naya Pakistan" is in shambles. </div> <div>After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck Article 370 from Jammu & Kashmir on August 5, 2019, which revoked its special status, Islamabad did not hesitate to criticize Riyadh over the contentious issue.</div> <div>The worst is yet to come.</div> <div>On October 24, Saudi Arabia released a 20 Riyal banknote to commemorate its presidency of organizing a G-20 summit on November 21-22. The world map displayed at the rear of this commemorative banknote deliberately scraped Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir from the map of Pakistan.</div> <div>Riyadh was angered over Islamabad's official publication of a new political map in August 2020, which has shown Kashmir annexed with Pakistan, leading Delhi to term it as "political absurdity."</div> <div>Riyadh believes Pakistan has no legitimacy over Gilgit-Baltistan and Jammu & Kashmir. The depiction of the map of Pakistan devoid of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan has adequately disgraced Pakistan in the international arena, particularly in the Muslim world. </div> <div>Well, the disputed Jammu & Kashmir have been taken out from the map of India too. The map depicts Kashmir Valley as an independent nation.</div> <div>South Block in New Delhi immediately protested for the exclusion of Kashmir from India and demanded an explanation. Riyadh is yet to issue a statement. </div> <div>China, an all-weather friend of Pakistan, had been irked in the process and along with Pakistan has thrice dragged the Kashmir issue to the UN Security Council in the past year.</div> <div>Pakistan miserably failed to draw the attention of the 57 members of Muslim nations -- the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) -- for a call for condemnation on scraping Kashmir autonomy.</div> <div>During the China and India face-off over Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh, Pakistan became desperate to form a new bloc with Turkey, Iran, Malaysia, China, and Russia, outside the traditional dictates of the United States. Malaysia silently backed out.</div> <div>The Kingdom has given a clear signal to Islamabad that the KSA-India economic ties strengthened with a rejection of any financial aid to Pakistan is a new marker in international relations.</div> <div>Observers understand that Saudi Arabia's attitude towards Pakistan may also be "read" as "no confidence" against China.</div> <div>Further pouring salt in the wounds, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Iran refused to allow Pakistan diplomatic missions to hold public events to observe the October 27 anniversary of Jammu & Kashmir's accession to India as a Black Day.</div> <div>Plans to hold a public event inside Pakistan's consulate in Riyadh were also blocked by the Kingdom.</div> <div>Similarly, the Pakistan embassy in Tehran's proposal to hold an event at Tehran University to observe the Black Day was refused.</div> <div>The change in stance adopted by two influential Islamic countries is a reflection of Pakistan's equations in the Middle East as a fallout of its growing partnership with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is seen to aspire for a leadership role in the Islamic world.</div> <div>Analysts believe Imran Khan had bitten off more than he could chew. It's a clear sign of Khan's growing desperation for his failure to garner support over India's abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir.</div> <div>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 3 November 2020</div> <div>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, and recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

The eastern province was to become an independent country, but it was worried about thousands of soldiers and officers, civil administration, business entrepreneurs, and Pakistan civilians in the eastern province.</div> <div>Henry Kissinger, the double-edge former US secretary of state, in an interview by Jeffrey Goldberg published in The Atlantic, said talks between America and China would have collapsed if the US had publicly condemned human rights violations and atrocities by the Pakistan army against the people of then East Pakistan.</div> <div>Months before the violent crackdown Operation Searchlight by the Pakistan military, Pakistan emerged as the interlocutor most acceptable to Beijing and Washington, and exchanges were conducted from Islamabad.</div> <div>Goldberg's question was whether the opening to China was worth the sacrifices and deaths experienced in the India-Pakistan Bangladesh crisis, to which Kissinger retorted that Bangladesh demonstrates how this issue has been confused in our public debate. There was never a choice between suffering in Bangladesh and the opening to China.</div> <div>He did not hesitate to state that Pakistan deployed extreme violence and gross human rights violations when Bangladesh was battling to achieve independence.</div> <div>"The US diplomats witnessing the Bangladesh tragedy were ignorant of the opening to China. Their descriptions were heartfelt and valid, but we could not respond publicly," he said.</div> <div>2020/10/gdn-leaderboard-728-x-90-1602933350585.gif</div> <div>By the time of the Bangladesh crisis in 1971 -- when Pakistan imposed martial law to crush the territory's bid for independence -- Nixon felt he owed Pakistan's military dictator, General Yahya Khan, a debt of gratitude for his government's role in facilitating Kissinger's secret trip to China, ignoring reports of Pakistan's military atrocities against Bangladeshi civilians. </div> <div>The US actively supported Pakistan, to the extent of violating congressional restrictions on supplying arms to Pakistani troops.</div> <div>"In November, the Pakistani president agreed with Nixon to grant independence the following March," Kissinger said.</div> <div>But the following December, "India, after having made a treaty including military provisions with the Soviet Union, and in order to relieve the strain of refugees, invaded East Pakistan," he said, adding that the US had to navigate between Soviet pressures, Indian objectives, Chinese suspicions, and Pakistani nationalism.</div> <div>"By March 1972 -- within less than a year of the commencement of the crisis -- Bangladesh was independent; the India-Pakistan War ended, and the opening to China completed at a summit in Beijing in February 1972," said Kissinger.</div> <div>In his book World Order, Kissinger describes India as "a fulcrum of twenty first century order: An indispensable element, based on its geography, resources, and tradition of sophisticated leadership, in the strategic and ideological evolution of the regions and the concepts of order at whose intersection it stands."</div> <div>But in 1971, when Pakistan's erstwhile eastern wing fought to become Bangladesh, Kissinger made a U-Turn and scorned India as "a Soviet stooge, supported with Soviet arms" over its support for Bangladesh independence.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 19 October 2020</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, and recipient of Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

<br>Feminist Dissent - October 19, 2020
<br>
<br>Stand and Be Counted
<br>by Marieme Helie-Lucas
<br>
<br>Marieme Helie Lucas, an Algerian sociologist and freedom fighter,
<br>founder of the solidarity networks Women Living Under Muslim Laws, and
<br>Secularism is a Women's Issue argues that the roots of the murder of
<br>Samuel Paty go back to the 1990s and the experience of Algerians in
<br>the 'war against civilians'. She argues that we should 'Stand and Be
<br>Counted'.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Assassinations by decapitation or by the sword – which are highly
<br>symbolic of all Muslim extreme right organisations (Al Quaeda, the
<br>Taliban, GIA, Shabab, Daesh, Boko Haram, etc…) – are not a new
<br>phenomenon in France. Several cases have already happened in recent
<br>years. It points at the will of the sponsor to not just 'execute' the
<br>victim for his 'crimes', but also to send a chill down the spines of
<br>potential next victims, – in this present case anyone who will dare
<br>re-publish the 'drawings of Mohammed'. This is why filming
<br>decapitations or taking a photograph of French teacher Samuel Paty's
<br>head severed from his body is a crucial step. Who will dare teach
<br>freedom of speech in French schools after the mid-term holidays? Stand
<br>and be counted…
<br>
<br>In Algeria too, long before the 'bloody nineties' and the 'war against
<br>civilians' as we called it then, we too witnessed some such public
<br>terrifying Islamist war crimes: the first 'execution', in the early
<br>seventies, was a communist student, who faced an ad-hoc Islamist
<br>Tribunal inside the premises of Algiers University where I taught at
<br>that time, and was 'executed' by the sword then and there.
<br>
<br>For it is important to understand that the same scenario which
<br>developed in Algeria right after independence and culminated in the
<br>nineties is being replicated in Europe: gradually, there was
<br>fundamentalist control taking place over women, their dress, their
<br>behaviour, their space for choice, etc; there was 'Islamic
<br>punishment', as they call it, for 'kofr' (unbelievers) – generally
<br>death penalty – or for 'un-Islamic behavior' such as smoking,
<br>drinking, not praying 5 times a day, not fasting during Ramzan/
<br>Ramadan, etc…
<br>
<br>But who cared for a bunch of women who did not conform, for drunkards
<br>or for gays and for unbelievers? The State certainly was not about to
<br>endanger 'social peace' for these un-important citizens. The French
<br>State did not do any better, when the first victims on its soil were
<br>young women or isolated intellectuals, decades before the
<br>assassination of a teacher that took place a couple of days ago. And
<br>France has, so far, not learnt from what followed suit in Algeria.
<br>
<br>For three decades from the 60s to the 80s, violence in Algeria
<br>mounted, until by the 90s fundamentalists deemed 'Kofr' any citizen
<br>who had anything to do with the 'kofr state', such as, for instance,
<br>sending children to school, getting treatment in government hospitals,
<br>or going to any government office for an identity document, etc. For
<br>all the critics of the government at that time, , let me remind
<br>readers that, in Algeria, education was totally free for boys and
<br>girls alike, and so was access to hospitals to all citizens. (Not many
<br>European or North American countries could say the same, when poor
<br>people still die at the doorstep of hospitals, for lack of resources
<br>to pay for their treatment.) In other words, in Algeria, not having
<br>anything to do with the 'kofr state' was a fundamentalist command that
<br>was impossible to comply with, in a country where everything was
<br>controlled by the state. The number of victims that received their
<br>'punishment' from extreme right Islamist armed groups skyrocketed; the
<br>estimated number is 200,000 victims in the decade of the nineties.
<br>
<br>In France, Algerian refugees from the nineties, who had already lived
<br>through this whole process, kept warning about similar developments in
<br>France. We were never heard. Moreover, we were deemed anti-Islam, as
<br>if armed Islamist groups were the sole true representatives of Islam;
<br>or we were deemed henchmen of the Algerian government, when most of us
<br>had already been persecuted by the State for being part of the
<br>progressive opposition.
<br>
<br>International human rights organisations were at the forefront for
<br>welcoming Islamists as the victims of the State and shunning us as
<br>'Islamophobic' – a concept quickly coined by the Muslim extreme right,
<br>which has now spread worldwide. Human rights organisations will carry
<br>the stigma for their inhuman political choice: I am convinced that
<br>history will judge.
<br>
<br>During the nineties, when ordinary people tried to flee Islamist
<br>extreme right violence, they were denied visas to France on the ground
<br>that they were not persecuted by the government but by non-state
<br>actors. We all bitterly remember that and maintained full files about
<br>it – while prominent Islamists, some of them with blood on their
<br>hands, were welcomed as political refugees everywhere in Europe and
<br>North America.
<br>
<br>In a way, France's deliberate policy of welcoming far right Islamist
<br>opponents to the Algerian State now bears fruit. They now have
<br>developed into a full political force within France, that shows muscle
<br>in order to bend laws and democratic principles to their own
<br>theocratic ideology.
<br>
<br>Since the nineties, there were many warning signs in France of the
<br>rise of a Muslim extreme right (as is clearly the case in the UK, as
<br>well as in other European countries); for instance: various attempts
<br>by Muslim fundamentalists to change laws, or cultural habits: for
<br>instance an attempt to have a clause on the virginity of the bride
<br>included in the law as a precondition of the validity of a marriage;
<br>several attempts to legalize the total separation of sexes (in
<br>education, in hospitals, in swimming pools, etc…); several attempts to
<br>change the curriculum in schools ( no art class, no gym for girls, no
<br>biology classes unless creationism was taught instead of Darwinism,
<br>etc…). Within France, many girls and young women were assaulted and
<br>some of them killed since the nineties, for 'un-Islamic behavior'.
<br>
<br>Such warning signs were ignored, despite attempts by
<br>anti-fundamentalist Algerian refugees to alert the authorities and the
<br>media, and human rights organisations as well. In vain.
<br>
<br>Interestingly, progressive people and human rights organisations in
<br>Europe explain the crimes and violations committed by the Muslim
<br>extreme right by the racism they face in Europe. (In the case of
<br>Charlie Hebdo's journalists and cartoonists, many on the left and
<br>within human rights circles actually justify the killings,
<br>shamelessly declaring that they deserved their fate for insulting
<br>'Muslims'.) Indeed there is racism in France (or in the UK for that
<br>matter) and there is clear discrimination at the level of housing and
<br>employment; but there are also anti-racist organisations to defend the
<br>victims. And the state itself is not racist: there are no
<br>discriminatory laws (free education and health benefit all).
<br>Discriminatory practices which, of course, unfortunately exist at the
<br>level of individuals, are condemned in courts. This is more than what
<br>we can offer to foreigners in our own countries of origin, as can be
<br>seen with the waves of migrants being terribly ill treated when, on
<br>their way to Europe, they cross the North of Africa – where being
<br>black is still equated with being a sub-human.
<br>
<br>In many ways, we are privileged, those of us coming from so-called
<br>Muslim countries: we are spared the justification of the Muslim
<br>extreme right's crimes through racism, and we know for sure that
<br>religion per se is not at stake. Take Algeria, where virtually 99%
<br>people are officially declared Muslims by virtue of being born in a
<br>Muslim majority country, in a Muslim family; where ethnicity (Arab
<br>only, till recently), religion (Islam) and citizenship (Algerian) are
<br>conflated and virtually synonymous. Like in other countries in South
<br>Asia, Middle East or Sub Saharan Africa, it is 'Muslims' killing
<br>'Muslims '. Religion is the cover up for extreme right political
<br>forces; like nazis with the Aryan 'race', the Muslim extreme right
<br>believes they belong to the upper religion in the world; like Italian
<br>fascists invoking the Glorious Past of Rome, they justify their
<br>self-proclaimed highest status with reference to a mythified past: the
<br>Golden Age of Islam. Like fascists and nazis, they believe this
<br>superiority grants them the right and the duty to physically eliminate
<br>the untermensch (the sub-humans), which, strangely enough – seem
<br>quite similar, from WWII to now: Jews and other 'inferior races',
<br>communists, etc… to which our home brand of fascists and nazis add the
<br>Kofrs. Among many other similarities, they all assign women to their
<br>place: the kitchen, the cradle and the Church/in our case, the mosque.
<br>
<br>One of the many problems in the analysis of crimes such as the one
<br>committed day before yesterday in France against a history teacher,
<br>whose only crime was to teach the official curriculum on freedom of
<br>expression, is the lack of an adequate vocabulary to name the
<br>perpetrators. We need to qualify them in political terms, not in
<br>religious ones as is currently done in France.
<br>
<br>The crimes and violations we witnessed in Algeria during the nineties,
<br>which are still currently perpetrated today in so many predominantly
<br>'Muslim' countries, could not possibly be defined as perpetrated by
<br>'Muslims' in our contexts; we were forced to identify them as
<br>political forces of the extreme right.
<br>
<br>Naming these political forces is essential. This is the conceptual
<br>blessing I wish for France and for Europe, if we don't want to face
<br>here as we did in Algeria, another 'war against the civilians'. That
<br>is why I say, we have to stand up and be counted, now.

Even light cannot escape from it. </span><span style="font-family:Serif Times, New serif;font-size:22px;">Roger Penrose showed that the general theory of relativity leads to the formation of black holes. Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez discovered that an invisible and extremely heavy object governs the orbits of stars at the center of our galaxy.

Einstein did not himself believe that black holes really exist, these super-heavyweight monsters that capture everything that enters them. Nothing can escape, not even light. </span><span style="font-size:14pt;">In January 1965, ten years after Einstein's death, Roger Penrose proved that black holes really could form and described them in detail; at their heart, black holes hide a singularity in which all the known laws of nature cease. His groundbreaking article is still regarded as the most important contribution to the general theory of relativity since Einstein.</span></p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> <strong style="font-weight:bolder;font-size:18px;margin:0px;"><br> </strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> <span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong style="font-weight:bolder;margin:0px;">Reinhard Genzel</strong></span><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:14pt;">and</span><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong style="font-weight:bolder;margin:0px;">Andrea Ghez</strong></span><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:14pt;">each lead a group of astronomers that, since the early 1990s, has focused on a region called Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The orbits of the brightest stars closest to the middle of the Milky Way have been mapped with increasing precision. The measurements of these two groups agree, with both finding an extremely heavy, invisible object that pulls on the jumble of stars, causing them to rush around at dizzying speeds. Around four million solar masses are packed together in a region no larger than our solar system. </span><span style="color:rgb(46,42,37);font-family:Serif Times, New serif;font-size:14pt;">Using the world's largest telescopes, Genzel and Ghez developed methods to see through the huge clouds of interstellar gas and dust to the center of the Milky Way. Stretching the limits of technology, they refined new techniques to compensate for distortions caused by the Earth's atmosphere, building unique instruments and committing themselves to long-term research. Their pioneering work has given us the most convincing evidence yet of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.</span></p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> <span style="color:rgb(46,42,37);font-family:Serif Times, New serif;font-size:1.125em;"><br> </span></p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> <span style="font-size:14pt;">"The discoveries of this year's Laureates have broken new ground in the study of compact and supermassive objects.

What a contradictory interpretation of the regime in Islamabad!</div> <div>All of Pakistan's actions are an attempt to counter India's move in August last year, which changed the status of Kashmir by bringing it under Delhi's direct control under Article 370, scrapping Kashmir's autonomy. Then they imposed a blackout of the internet and enforced a curfew.</div> <div>Since then, India has been accused of using excessive force to maintain peace in the valley. </div> <div>Delhi obviously has a reason to be cautious, on account of Pakistan's interference in Kashmir for the last seven decades. Since the Indo-Pakistan partition in 1947, the Pakistan army has unsuccessfully attempted to infiltrate Kashmir innumerable times.</div> <div>After the birth of Pakistan, it violated the status quo agreement and invaded a part of the valley, with recruits of ferocious Pashtun tribes in the absence of sufficient infantry soldiers to push into Jammu and Kashmir.</div> <div>This invasion started the current 70-year conflict between India and Pakistan, as India deployed troops to defend Kashmir against the marauding Pakistan military.</div> <div>In September 1965, Pakistan soldiers crossed into Kashmir to foment a rebellion -- but failed. </div> <div>In the 1990s, Pakistan-backed jihadists, trained by the Rawalpindi General Headquarters (GHQ) to fight against the Soviet occupation in the 80s, were later mobilized as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed against the Indian-administered Kashmir.</div> <div>In 1999, Pakistan made another failed attempt to capture the Kashmir territory through infiltration but ended up abandoning its own soldiers once the international media exposed Pakistan's actions and Delhi countered the move with its military.</div> <div>Since then, Pakistan has relied increasingly on backing militant networks that have terrorized not just the Kashmir Valley but also mainstream India. </div> <div>This includes Delhi's parliament assault and the Mumbai terror attack in 2001 to recent terror attacks in Pulwama and Pathankot, carried out by Pakistan's militants recruited from Kashmiris.</div> <div>These aggressive tactics by Pakistan army GHQ have sealed India's perception of the Kashmiris through the lens of its historic confrontation with Pakistan.</div> <div>Meanwhile, a growing schism between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has unfolded recently as tensions threaten their strategic partnership.</div> <div>Pakistan has pushed for action since August last year when India revoked Kashmir Valley's special status, but had limited success. </div> <div>The Organization of Islamic Cooperation -- OIC -- has only held low-level meetings on the Kashmir crisis despite Islamabad's crying calls.</div> <div>Nevertheless, Imran Khan has denied rumours that Pakistan's relationship with Saudi Arabia "soured" over its lack of support for Kashmir during the crisis.</div> <div>There was also a recent statement by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi concerning the establishment of an alternative Muslim platform to deal with the Kashmir issue -- in the face of Saudi opposition to raising it within the OIC.</div> <div>Acting as another nail in the coffin, Maldives, after plugging Pakistan's attempt to target India on "Islamophobia" at an OIC meet, has recently echoed New Delhi's wishes in blocking a bid to conduct the failed 19th SAARC Summit in Pakistan, on the excuse that South Asia, like the rest of the world, is preoccupied with the Covid-19 pandemic.</div> <div>The rapidly shifting geopolitical realities, especially the current circumstances in South Asia, behoove Pakistan to treat the Kashmir issue as its top priority. </div> <div>Thankfully, Islamabad is doing that.</div> <div><br> </div> <div><i>First published in the Dhaka Tribune on 5 October 2020</i></div> <div><i><br> </i></div> <div><i>Saleem Samad is an independent journalist, media rights defender, and recipient of the Ashoka Fellowship and Hellman-Hammett Award.

The Muslim communalists later claimed that India was ruled by Muslims and Hindu communalists claimed that Muslims are foreigners and this has been the land of Hindus from times immemorial.</span></p> <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height:115%; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> <span lang="EN-IN">One was reminded of the deep penetration of this communal view of History when, Yogi Aditaynath, the CM of Uttar Pradesh announced that the upcoming Mughal Museum in Agra to be recast as Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum. As per him such a historical museum is a reflection of subservient mentality and the symbol of 'mentality of slavery'. The Mughal Museum's foundation was laid by Akhilesh Yadav, the earlier Chief Minister of UP. The Museum was to come up near TajMahal in Agra and was to show the cultural aspects and armaments of Mughal kings. The aim was to give a boost to tourism industry in UP. </span></p> <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height:115%; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> <span lang="EN-IN">Same Taj is downgraded now by the Hindu communalists. One P.N.Oak has been trying to propagate that it was Tajomahlaya, Shiv Tample, which was converted into Mausoleum by Shahjahan. The fact as recorded by Tavernier, a French Jeweller his travelogues tell us that Shahjahan built it in memory of his wife Mumtaj Mahal. The same is also inferred from the account books of Shahjahan's Court, which give a details break of regular expenses for the construction of this tomb. The land was acquired from Raja Jaisingh with due compensation.</span></p> <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height:115%; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> <span lang="EN-IN">As Yogi came to power he omitted Taj from the places of importance in UP. His recent utterances that remembering Mughals is symbol of slave mentality are in tune with the communal ideology which regards Islam as alien religion and Muslims as foreigners. As such we see that Indian History has been looked up in three particular ways. One was the Gandhi-Nehru, Indian nationalist interpretation where India is a place of rich diversity. The Muslim kings who ruled parts of India ruled here and lived here as the part of the land. Most of the Muslim kings respected the diverse religious tradition prevailing here. </span></p> <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height:115%; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> <span lang="EN-IN">Mahatma Gandhi points out, </span><span style="color:rgb(71,78,93); background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial">"the Hindus flourished under Moslem sovereigns and Moslems under the Hindu.

While some kings like Mahmud Gazanavi, Mohammad Ghori, Ghengis Khan did plunder for wealth, the kings who ruled here became the part of this land.
