[ALOCHONA] Re: MP Andalib

Dear Robin

 

Finding myself alone at a stake burning would not upset me because a stake burning is ludricous. I used the term as a figure of speech. But then how does a figure of speech become more distasteful than thugs of a democratically elected government actually raping and actually getting political protection? Or more distasteful than educated and smart people staying silent about such a thing whilst defending the very system than allows this to happen? Come on man. We can get upset when this happens elsewhere in the world. Why not be upset when this happens in Bangladesh?  

 

People are getting ruined or getting killed by AL or BNP.

 

I don't have all the policy answers. But I do know we should be angry - or at least annoyed?

 

And we must start by telling the truth. We have inadvertently created a culture of knowing the truth but not publicly admitting it. This culture is everywhere. And we must change this. I wanted to to say we must smash it :)

 

Telling the truth about our condition in Bangladesh is easy. Telling the simple yet uncomfortable truth does not make anyone a hero or a genius.

 

All mortals are indeed imperfect. But then thats what Nethrists say all the time to excuse away the crassest flaws of their Nethri. Your imperfections and my imperfections did not cause anyone's murder, anyone's education to be ruined, anyone's property to be stolen, anyone's principles to be compromised, anyone's hopes to be crushed - on a massive scale.

 

We have got to protest this. Some like me scream crazily. Others, in growing numbers, write and speak and spread the message of dissatisfaction and discontent. All voices are needed. 

 

I have my own purpose. I am not defined by rants on this forum. I am, as we say in Desh, in the field. And my job is to take on the educated Nethrist. My language and arguments are crafted for them. Not you. I grew up listening to them - it was their country. Now look at our country. Our Nethrists are the biggest bunch of choto lok in the world.       

 

I don't have all the answers at a moments notice. But I do know you got to try and smack the crap out of the cockroach as soon as you see it :)

 

You know the last resort argument of the educated Nethrist? It's "Amra Tho Fakir".

Re: [ALOCHONA] Re: MP Andalib

Thank you Ejaz for reassuring me.

 

You might ofcourse find yourself all alone. Since stake burning might result in no one left standing since all mortals have some kind of imperfection .

Much relieved that you are on the contrary feeling rejuvenated and ready with all answers at a moments notice!

Dear Robin

The state of rock and roll in Bangladesh is a reflection of the state of Bangladesh. We are a nation of dancing queens so boogie woogie is the least of our priorities. We need rock and roll which will lend voice to discontent and rebellion and which will shape the course of the young Bangladeshi male. As of now the righteous Bangladeshi male is crushed and defeated. We need the crap kicked out of us and the sense kicked into us. I'm working on a band project J

Andalib is connected every which way, as I have already indicated. Further inspection will no doubt reveal he is flawed. None of which detracts from the significance of the truth he spoke that day.

Bangladesh will face corrupt political dynasties the way the world has always faced corrupt political dynasties. And that does not preclude violence, as our own history continues to show. Violent short cuts and the machinations of individuals and groups, whether altruistic or otherwise, are inevitable, even natural. After all, these political dynasties also exercise violence and entrench themselves in ways which may require forcible removal.

No softie phase for me. You will find Andalib had more flashes of the Angry Young Man in his speech than flashes of anything else. I am, in fact, rejuvenated.

Our politicians have urinated continuously on the graves of every young uneducated and forgotten teenage kid that picked up a gun in 1971.

I'm supposed to be bloody angry.

And you aren't befuddled in the Land of the Great Satan. You know the dirty, awful truth. Like many, you just haven't chosen to jump in the gutter of Bangladesh and take on the scum who support status quo politics in Bangladesh. And yet you could effortlessly carve them up into pieces with your intellect. Far easier to mock Angry Young Men. Alas. Poor me.  

In my country, my Bangladesh, thugs of a ruling, democratically elected party can rape a child and get away with it. And people with degrees from your nearest university not only keep quiet about such crimes but actively defend the status quo.

May they burn at the stake.

Dear Ejaz

Yes a Rock and Roller he may but can he dance the boogie woogie!!!

Incidentally, I am told he is a member of a prominent dynasty with bloodlines going every which way. Furthermore, his political lines extending to all parties and factions.  Not that it matters to me since Bangladesh has to deal with its inherited political/ruling culture and that change must come naturally not through violent short cuts based on some altruistic individual or group's opinion whether such forcible removal is justified or not.

Hope this is not the stirrings of a "softie" phase. That would seriously undermine the 'angry young man" tough talking no nonsense person I have become so used to and fond of.

Finally. An MP who understands rock and roll :)

He's getting thousands of hits on Facebook and this particular speech has been received with raucous applause at many levels.

I hope you enjoy this speech as much as I did.

I have heard he is the son of AL Sheikh Selim's sister and married to the daughter of AL Sheikh Helal. Wow! A rare example of a Deshi man standing up to his in laws :) He is also an MP for Bhola and President of Jatiya Party (Monju)!
