As much you want them to stay there and fight, people have been leaving to move to a safer place. Who can blame them? Pakistan has virtually gotten rid of it's minorities and it is only matter of time when last Bangladeshi Hindus will be crossing the border. Whether they are talented or not, nobody really cares? How long can these people stay as protected cage birds in Bangladesh? I would not be in their shoes. The war has already been lost. Sunils, Jotis and many others have done much better by crossing the border. Master-da was lucky enough to die before being cleansed from his homeland. Had he been alive after 1947, he too would have followed other Jotis?

J, Roy: "Religious minorities are extremely resourceful citizens of the nation; do not push such resources away. Don't encourage brain drain any longer. Look at the West Bengal, who are the most talented ones there? They are all from Bangladesh."
I do not like this line of arguments. How about trying, "non-Muslims who were born in Bangladesh, whose forefathers have been living there for centuries, have a birthright on that soil. No one has a right to force or intimidate them, let alone committing barbaric atrocities on them, to push them form their motherland."

I want to see Bangladesh as the shining star in the southeastern Asian belt. It is not too far off from that goal; let's work together, and build our nation. We should be working together to get rid of poverty, not the religious minority. Religious minorities are extremely resourceful citizens of the nation; do not push such resources away. Don't encourage brain drain any longer. Look at the West Bengal, who are the most talented ones there? They are all from Bangladesh. We cannot broaden our mind until religion takes the backseat in our life. It hurts me to see what's happening to thousands of Muslims in Myanmar; it hurts me to see what's happening to religious minorities in Bangladesh and Pakistan. What's causing these unrests and atrocities on fellow human beings? Ask Muslims in Myanmar; Hindus and Buddhists in Bangladesh and Pakistan, they will tell you - religion is at the core of all these troubles on them. Are we still going to tell ourselves that - it's only due to a few misguided religious people in those countries? Whatever it is, it's unbearable to those who are the victim. Let's defeat those misguided evils among us and save religious minorities. I am happy to hear from so many freethinkers in this forum. It gives hope for the better future for all. Narrow mindedness will only drag people backward and make us inferior and insignificant to others in the world. Let's open our mind and look at the horizon far away from us. Jiten Roy
