Dear Mr Kamal Das,
I don't understand what you are trying to say or achieve by your expletives. Are you saying that it is alright as it is in keeping with the practices in other Muslim majority countries that Hindus (or other minorities) should be persecuted, their houses should be burned etc in Bangladesh? That is the message your short note to Dr Roy is conveying.
I am sure that is not your intent. But to gorge out your displeasure or anger at the wrong point or wrong occasion can have the opposite effect. I am trying to mobilise public opinion against such atrocities, arouse public conscience and moral rectitude. To bring in racial attributes and throw blames on Muslims are just going to inflate racial hatred and perpetuate such suffering. Please do not destroy whatever conscience the secularists have managed to garner to put an end to these atrocious things.
I hope, I have made my point.

Dear Dr. Roy
Can you name one Muslim dominated country where non Muslims are not persecuted? Since the advent of Islam, fourteen hundred years of history is more or less well recorded. Even thirty per cent Muslim population has been good enough to split the country apart.

Dear Sir,I am glad that you raised the point - why are Hindus being persecuted in Bangladesh, when they had been living along with Muslims and others for millenniums? I myself had been raising this issue for quite sometime now.You will see my article in the bdnews24.com either tomorrow or day after on 'Beyond the Pale' where I raised issues like democracy deficiency, corruption and atrocities on Hindus. It is not exactly right to blame wholly on BNP/Jamaat and other Islamist organisations for such atrocities, although majority may have been committed by them, but there are definitely AL hooligans who are also doing such things for political and financial reasons. If the government wanted seriously to stop these things, they can do so. But they are only offering lip services. Now that the election is over, we must mobilise our efforts to create a free and fair society - society free from injustice, racial and religious discrimination, corruption, nepotism and cronyism.The article in mukto-mona by Dr Mizan Rahman on 'Tara kothay palabe?' is an excellent one and should be widely circulated.- Anis Rahman

From : Ajoy Roy, Dhaka14. 1. 14Dear Mukto Monas,After the election of 5 January a constitutional requirement according to some political Pundits in order to maintain constitutional continuity. I agree but the biggest price had to pay the so called minorities to be more specific the Hindus. In the alter of democratic institution Hindus had to give blood, even no other minorities. Christians, Budhists and even adihashis were more or less safe. Why Hindus? and Hindus ?. In my view Bangladesh has negatively progressed in the last few years. From non-communal Secular Bangladesh to a fanatic Sunna Muslim communal state. The secular forces receded into background, the Jamatis-Shibirites-Hefazze Hujurs and many other fanatic forces taken over. This sad but this is the harsh truth. Please read the attached story of agony of Hindus in two areas given as examples. More will follow. Mukto-mona moderator kindly post the crying voice of the Hindus!
