>>>>>>>>> (Correct me if I am wrong) you do live in the USA as well. I think this advise fits you really well. Since you "Think" you understand Bangladesh better than those who live in it. Your current location does not stop you to dish out lectures to other members, so why the double standard bro? ;-)
The last but not the least is about his naivety about Shahbag. Shahbag is basically a show of force. People' demand of death penalty is rather a metaphor for justice than real decapitation of the criminals.
>>>>>>>>>> Since "Shahbag" started, it evolved as well. There were physical attacks on news papers, banks and other properties. Therefore, it ceases to remain at "Metaphor" phase anymore. I think Shahbag already achieved it's initial goal of "Shaking up politics as usual" in Bangladesh where political parties will abuse trust of people and align with ANYONE to get their target votes.
They also reminded us our young people are watching politics carefully (Beside Hindi movies and cricket). :-)
I am glad that, they raised their voice and it will be better if they stay non-violent and honor our laws of lands while protesting.
Take care and stay warm.
Shalom!

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

Re: [mukto-mona] For publication: Shabag and emerging questions ...
My simple advice for this gentleman would be is to take a sabbatical to visit his forefathers' land and get to know the ground reality. It would be interesting to see whether he could live side by side with these blood thirsty butchers

At best, Mr. Some is a good naive lecturer without having a faintest idea what has really gone on in Bangladesh for last forty two years. His family left Bangladesh because they could not stand the heat of being persecuted. He and his family feel safer in India and yet he wants to aim for some undefined utopian system that ever to exist in any place of the world, let alone in most densely populated areas in the world. And now that he has seen enough of Indian problems, he figured out some new theories for us. I thank him for his theories.

The last but not the least is about his naivety about Shahbag. Shahbag is basically a show of force. People' demand of death penalty is rather a metaphor for justice than real decapitation of the criminals. The judges know that language very well and they are totally equipped to keep their cool and deliver the verdicts. Mr. Some should have respect for those judges for their judicious minds! They know exactly where to draw the line.

You said: Finally, are Shahbag participants are willing to sustain their movement for a just society and start practising a sustainable livelihood? Will the next Shahbag echo M. K. Gandhi's famous statement "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."?
Mr. Sourav,
Unfortunately, you have mixed up too many issues in your write up. It is hard to understand what you are trying to say. In some parts you appeared to be supportive of Sahbag movement, in other parts - you are not sure. You are confused. You need to find your conviction going forward. And achieve one at a time; don't try to dwell on too many things at once; nothing will get done. Sahbag movement is only about one issue, and that is - to demand due punishment for the war criminals. Don't get bogged down into thinking - if this movement will bring the world peace or not.
Oh, yes, don't listen or follow too much quotes from the past. Most of them are outdated. Those are quotes from the bygone days; time has changed. Be practical; otherwise, you will lose.
You quoted – Gandhi; let me ask you - what would you do if someone wants to take your eye out? If you start feeling for attacker's eye – you will lose your own. You seem to be young, but timid-hearted. Do you know why? Your liberal upbringing – that's why. Get the utopian communist ideology out of your head as soon as you can; it won't work in this world - try that in the heaven.
