RE: [mukto-mona] For publication: Shabag and emerging questions ...

    Dear Saurav,
                          Your thoughtful note with its underlying encouragement for the Shahbagh movement is much appreciated.  I am fully aware that you in India had been dealing with the hanging (fanshi) of Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru and found them to be deeply troubling.  I am glad that young people like you were moved by those events and questioned their moral values.  Personally I am against capital punishment and find this hanging by the neck a cruel and barbaric mode of sentencing for a crime.

        I was taken by the wisdom of your following statement:

<<  Divorcing politics from religious fundamentalism is not enough. We have to understand why people adhere to religious fundamentalism in the historical and social contexts. Political ideology is shaped by several factors and reflects the social reality. The present situation is a case of political hegemony and its answer lies in how the country's citizens are prepared to emerge as critical citizens and if they are committed to ensure social justice and equality. >>

            Please come to visit Bangladesh someday soon.

                 Yours appreciatively

[Attachment(s) from saurav shome included below] Dear Moderator,

I am sending an article for your consideration to publish in Mukto Mona (Publication is not my primary goal aim). I can read Bengali, but very slow in writing. I would be happy if you kindly provide your feedback on the write up.

The write up is attached with this mail. If you find difficulties in opening / reading the file please let me know.

Thanking you.

With best regards,

Saurav
