It is that made-up 'Mujib Bad' which made Sheikh Mujib totally 'Baad' of Bangladesh pokitics with disgrace in 1975. If someone then would have dared to ask Sheikh Mujib, "What is Mujib-bad?" when he came back from Pakistan, he would personally stumbled to answer. Because there is no answer to that.
To tell you the truth, when I stepped down at Dhaka International Airport in 1973 (freshly released out of custody in Pakistan), wearing the so-called Mujib coat (in honor of Sheikh Mujib) and heard the chanting of the slogan outside the airport at Tejgaon (Bishey elo natun baad, Mujibbad, Mujibbad), I uttered to my father, "Only because this empty slogan Mujib will be totally baad from the political horizon of Bangladesh disgracefully". To my surprise it did not take much time. Let me confess one thing, right after steeping out of airport and seeing the situation I dropeed that so called black coat for ever as Mujib coat. I do wear now occassionally but as 'Jauhar coat'.
P.S. Black coat does not make anybody Awami Leaguer. Most of the Awami Leaguera are now coat wearing self sucking Awami Leaguer.

"Native Secularism" is an over-blown and politically motivated "Powerful Bill Board" of Hasina League & Company. "Moha-Bis-shaw" Netri Hasina does not know what "Secularism" exactly means like she doesn't understand the meaning of "Digital Bangladesh". Obviously, her toady comrades have been digging for a superior definition of "Digital........". It is said that scholars at Harvard, Princeton and Stanford have been busy 24/7, performing advanced research works on the true meaning of "Digital Bangladesh".
Sk. Muijb never came across the term "Muijbad" before his first arrival (from Pakistan) when he was received with a rancorous welcome at Dacca (Dhaka) Airport on 10 January 1972. Jubok-Bahadur-Number-One Sk. Moni honored our founding father with his "Home Made Mujibbad" that got lost in the middle of the ocean long ago.
The bottom line is: "Read Hasina's lips. When she says Secularism, she doesn't mean it". Its her recorded statement, playing over and over! She does play this Secularism while she is at her sleeps!
Now, turning my neck to the reality! I must say that our intelligence and self-interest combine to make us a most unruly creation of God. The prevalence of the lust for power, delegating authority and securing victory against opponents has led us to some speculation that Hasina, Khaleda and their lieutenants have instinct for all these.
Resort to religions is always found as common strut in many nations including Bangladesh. Let us have an open mind about it instead of a closed boundary! Using religion as an effective tool, brutal Pakistani dictators committed whole sale atrocities, murders, rapes and arson in 1971, only to continue occupation of our territory. Here in US "In God We Trust" is emblazoned on our money and we even pledge allegiance to "One Nation Under God". Religion, Secularism, Patriotism and Democracy (or no democracy) often could go hand to hand too! For example, "God watches over us in a war and HE helps to win over our enemies"!
Does God take sides in Bangladesh politics or in any politics OR in wars? Probably HE does; only and only if we carefully review and evaluate the times of " The People of the Books" to get these truths out!
At this point, today's Bangladesh is delivered directly from the vacuum "upper chambers" of Hasina'/Khaleda along with their preferred contemporary "secular religion" whatever they wish to choose in fooling their own people, own nation! Whenever they say secular and/or Bismillah, they surely don't mean it. Things, at least are not moving toward the direction guided by Secularism or Bismillah on any and all basic humanity in Bangladesh.
Thanx with best regards.

It is interesting to see the debate over "Bismillah". My AL friends - "Bismillah" is not the word which was created \ originated by late President Zia. It's a word which came from Almighty via our Prophet (MS). So there should not be any party line with this word. Well, you might say that is the part of our constitution … I agree, but there are so many basic elements of constitution which are being violated, distorted and slanted even by the parliamentarians every day and our voice is too low on those. In fact this is the old tactics followed by the politicians to keep our focus out of range. Secularism is a brand created by the West to legalize all the heinous actions in favor of capitalism. If some one's name is " Pobitro Choudhury" our brain start thinking and we come to a conclusion that probably he is a non-Muslim but when we perceive the word "Pobitro Koran Sharif"…. in our brain it appears to be an Islamic word. This is the outcome of secularism and we all are trapped into that. I wonder why "God bless America "is a secular word but "Bismillah" is not? If Obama can say that after his speech we have the equal right to say that at the beginning of a speech.
Take care!
