Here's my dear Commie brother, Soumitra's take on Mita Huq's silly comment, and Fatemolla's even sillier response.

Petrodollar has corrupted an entire nation and has made the nation available for menial jobs throughout the world. The fact that there is hardly any developed country in this world where Bangladeshis will not be found doing menial work, is a clear cut example of how the neo-colonialism [led by Anglo-American policymakers and their european associates] survives on the surplus labour of Bangladeshis- the plot is as exploitative as it was during the direct colonial days if not worse.
When the only question of development in Bangladesh is the loot of surplus and when the toiling producers of Bangladesh is getting the wrong end of baton and still holding the western civilization bobbing up through their labour, then these so-called civil society of Bangladesh is murkying the water with this kind of cheap consciousness.
The religious divide is the worst kind of consciousness a nation-society can have. Some so-called "modern"ites tout this divide as a question of culture and not tradition nor a study, they keep the divide alive through whatever means they can- this reminds us Chilekothar sipay where a communist has to be either Hindu or Muslim and one cannot opt for a new identity. If there is a muslim who is a communist he would be further examined deep as a Muslim-befriending-Hindu-communists. This is the bondage, a bondage from which a person can never get free of.
This is a direct resultant of the low culture the civil society has pushed down the Bangladeshi society. The very low standard of general education, of the dungeon of the informal educational environment [ the street corner level of discussions and discourse] for years has brought the nation down to the lowest level of social consciousness. One do not find this environment in the streets of Pakistan even- there the principal topic of public-social discourse is poverty, government exploitation, class exploitation. In Bangladesh it is the main issue, but that is always shoved below the carpet by no other class than the middle class and the civil society. The worst and criminal kind of middle class and civil society [ as expressed by the late Humayun Azad] in the known world is perhaps the one in Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh every issue that comes up in the public-space gets precipitated very fast into Hindu-Muslim or in some kind of Religious division. This is the unfortunate part and that is the bane of Bangladesh society. People cannot have their rightful nourishment, nor their rightful basic needs and they find the civil society squabbling on religion and other divisive non-issues. The civil society of Bangladesh is thus the worst criminal society of Bangladeshi people.

Fatemolla (Hasan Mahmud of Canada)r bull shit. It is dangerous at this juncture to pontificate on 'what is Bangalee' or what is not. It creates the unnecessary binary opposition of Musulman v. Bangalee. Yet, we know that it is a fact that there is no such thing as "non-Bangalee razakar". The ones who are facing trial for crimes committed in 1971 at the Dhaka War Crimes Tribunal right now are all Bangalee.
