1. 100 unidentified bodies found in four months! That tells us a lot about the law and order situation and the efficieny level of our law and order enforcement agencies of Bangladesh. Is this number unusual when compared with numbers during previous regimes? Are all these killings political? Is there any proof that these crimes have been committed by AL? Looks like on an average there has been one secret killing per day. Do our law enforcement agencies have statistics on how many people are missing and how many have been abducted and how many killed? Do even our political parties have records on how many of their cadres are missing? without all this information any conclusion drawn on the issue will not make any sense at all. This will simply confuse common people.
2. In 1975 and later, we used to hear slogans from street processions: "It is not Sikkim or Bhutan, it our Bangladesh." Sikkim had already became an Indian state. Staunch anti AL political parties used the slogan as a political rhetoric designed to alarm the people that India had a scheme to swallow Bangladesh the same way Sikkim was "swallowed". 37 years have passed. Nothing of that sort has happened yet. Content-wise the slogan was right, although not implication-wise. Bhutan is still a free country. It is absolutely right that Bangladesh is not Sikkim. They are not comparable at all which is evident from their history. Sikkim was a kingdom. It decided not to join India in 1947. It however attained protectorate status and continued to enjoy sovereignty except in the areas of foreign affairs, defence, and communication. In view of the internal conflicts, unrest, and riots, in 1975 the PM made a request for inclusion as a full state of India. Accordingly the Indian army took over. There was referendum in which 97.5% voted to join India. Monarchy was abolished. Indian constitution had to be amended to annex Sikkim. Initially it was taken as an associate state and finally as a full state. Sikkim has currently a polulation of 6 lac and an area of about one-eighteenth of that of Bangladesh. India directly helped in creating Bangladesh. Bangladesh has gone through political crises during which periods India remained neutral. India cannot afford to swallow Bangladesh which is a country with 15 crore people. Bangladesh has established her own distinct position in the world. India will never make that mistake.

The actual number of unidentified bodies would be much higher as all of them could not be traced after they went missing. Many of the bodies might have been dumped into rivers which were carries away by strong current

INDIA'S SIKKIM POLICY IN BANGLADESH
Abid Bahar
It is interesting for Bangladeshis to learn and grow from many lessons about India's policy in Sikkim and how Sikkim eventualy lost its independence to India. If we look at the global Indian policy in South Asia toward its neighbours, we see that eversince it became independent, it occupied Goa, Hydrabad, Kashmir, even Monipur in 1949 and in 1975 it swallowed Sikkin. It is now trying to swallow Maldvip, Nepal and Bhutan. Please read the recent developments in those countries to see the eventual eclips of those countries.
India follows the old colonial British policy of swallowing the smaller neighbourings nations. This is consistent with Neheru's India Doctrine ( variously named as the "akhonda Bharota," "Ram Rajya," "connectivity").(1) Indian sucess in Bangladesh to make it a dependent state, began with Mujib's 25 year Friendship Treaty with Indra Gandhi, followed by Awami League's merger with the pro- Indian Moni Singh's Bangladesher Communist Party and Mujib's subsequent policy of keeping the Indian led Rakkhi Bahini in Bangladesh. Mujib's three year rule ended Bangladesh into "a bottomless basket case". Please read similar story of Indian policy in Sikkim. http://sikhim.blogspot.ca/2009/08/indias-illegal-occupation-of.htmlI India Doctrine is not a myth; it was born with a brain to make people suffer for the sake of a chauvinistic nationalism called Brahmoism. When one reads the history of Bromo imperialism in South Asia began from Ram Mohan Roy, then from Nehru's ideas, it makes sense.(
Many observers believe that the 1975 coup in Bangladesh that removed BKSAL from power was a great escape by Bangladesh to its reassertion of independence. Frustrated to lose the Moina Pakhi ( India's dear game bird Bangladesh) it now squeezes Bangladesh to its submittion, it built dams in all most all the rivers flowing from the Himalayas through Napal and India. India didn't build that number of dams in any of its provinces. It is a case of open hostality toward Bangladesh. Some people like Illias Ali and others who vigourously campaigned against the Tipaimukh dam and its effects in Bangladesh were known to have been abducted and killed by Indian trained cadres code named the " 100 crusaders." Today like in Mujib's time, when over 30 thousand people were abducted or killed (one of them was Siraj Sikder,) opposition leaders are not safe fearing to be killed if stayed home or outside the home fearing to be abducted( thus the popular phrase recently came into use "Hasina's Ghoree thaklee Khoon bairai thaklee goom). People who oppose Hasina's "khoon or goon policy are condemned by the rough Awami cadres as the "enemies of the liberation war" and are"razakars." with "a Pakistani agenda". In this category Awami cadres even don't hasitate to include Ziaur Rahman.
It is widely claimed that Moin U supervised election in 2008 that brought Hasina to a landslide victory was engineered by the Indian RAW. Before the election, Hasina was found equally corrupt by the CTG making money in bags that clients brought to her home. Moin U was previously awarded 6 horses by India and there were reported secret meetings held in Western cities in New York and Sanskatwan to hatch the RAW Plan for installing Hasina. Experts agree that RAW offices to impliment India's imperialist ambitions in Bangladesh have been carried out from Calcutta and Agartala in its BD research centres. Pronob Mukherjee is directly responsible to coordinate the action.(2)
In the cultural and media front, Rabindranath Tagore as a Bengali poet (who despite his great literary contributions was opposed to the establishment of Dhaka University) has been seen as a bridge between West Bengal and Bangladesh and the socalled secular cultural teams and pro Indian newspapers like Prothom Alo established in 1993 and the silly newspaper Jonokhonto and few othe in Dhaka, carries out the Indian agenda in Bangladesh. (3)
It is true, "India would definitely go for merging more small independent neighboring nations with [her smaller neighbours like]Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives and Sri Lanka but at the same time would also be at a very high risk of dissolution and collapse on herself, yielding into 15 to 25 independent nations." (4)
A Sikkimese says: "India follows British legacy. their policies are colonial and imperialistic. If us the sikkimese could get our heads out of the sand and the pointless lepcha bhutia nepali arguments we would have seen what india did to manipur in 1949, india's annexation of kashmir, etc. the chogyal asking his people not to take up arms was justified as the import of arms had been banned by a treaty signed between sikkim and delhi. on another note the chogyal's hands were tied as he was a buddhist king and his holiness the dalai lama had been given sanctuary by india. it is up to modern, forward looking sikkimese youth to bring forward a freedom movement!" (5)
Can India swallow Bangladesh? With limited knowledge about the RAW we have no clue. But India has been sucessful in causing poverty in the western, northern and in the eastern region of Bangladesh. Hasina and her team of so-called Indra secularists has strong influence in the grass root level in Bangladesh to help India make its connectivity policy. Under the circumstances it is recommended that the regional countries to defend themselves, should monitor RAW activities and go for forming a commonwealth of South Asian Nations/ or form a confederation of South Asian nations.
Good luck Bangladesh!
