Re: [mukto-mona] The allegation of opposition to the establishment of Dhaka University

Of the 1.4 billion Muslims over eighty percent live in formerly Hindu areas, e.g., Indonesia and India.  That speaks volumes about their ethnicity, though their faith is different and they prostrate towards Mecca, their root is pagan.  These converts are called Azam, a word for the blind in the Arabic language.  What can one expect from a blind person after all?

The 1875 census data were concocted by the British with an ulterior motive to ruin the middle class Bengali society which was predominantly Hindu.  Even 'Nawab' Salimullah was against the partition of Bengal in the beginning.  He was bribed and coerced by Curzon to become a supporter.  The University of Dacca was built to educate the Eastern part of Bengal and Assam.  Could it have larger share of teachers and students from the Muslim communities in an age when even the madrassahs and muktabs were run by the Hindus?

I have seen this allegation in the Bangladesh-centric internet forums over a period of many years. There seems to be a new generation of accusers lately. Instead of making any suggestion about why some people make this allegation against people like Ashutosh Mukherjee or Rabindranath Tagore, let me just ask a few questions.

 

When Dhaka University was formed in 1921, was there any plan anywhere for the creation of Pakistan in 1947?

 

There are several highly prestigious universities in the USA which are located at or near high black population areas. For example, the University of Chicago and Columbia University in New York City. How many percents of the professors and students of these universities are black?

 

From 1921 to 1947 which religious group had more professors and students at Dhaka University, Muslims or Hindus?

 

If there was no Pakistan, or if there was no displacement of Hindus from East Bengal due to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, which religious group would be dominating the academic circle of Dhaka University today, Muslims or Hindus?

 

In the world, there are about 1.4 billion Muslims among the total population of about 7.0 billion. What are the comparisons between the Muslims and the other religious groups in terms of world-renowned scholars (an indication would be the Nobel Prize winners in all subjects but peace)?

 

What is keeping the Muslims backward compared to all other significant religious groups?  

 

Let me wait for some fact-based and honest answers to the above six questions, and some intelligent amalgamations of those answers, preferably from the accusers, before I comment on the subject.
