Re: [mukto-mona] Khondoker was shopping around Park St on 16th Dec, 1971?

I mostly agree with Dr. Rahman and Dr. Roy.

 

However, I think if Awami League under the leadership of Sheikh Mujib could form a government in Pakistan in 1971, they would have tried to make Pakistan at least to some extent religion-neutral. Mujib tried quite a bit of that in Bangladesh when that sovereign country emerged mostly due to India's help. (I am totally convinced that without India helping, the freedom fighters had no chance of liberating Bangladesh from Pakistan.)

 

I also think that Mujib actually regretted the break-up of Pakistan; and the results of that were some of the facts that Dr. Roy mentioned. Another striking result of that was no punishment for any war-criminal during almost four years of the governance of Bangladesh by Awami League, which ended with Mujib's assassination on August 15, 1975.

 

I see many reasons for any honorable Bangladeshi to feel ashamed of the history of his/her country, beginning with the fanaticism of the Bangalee Muslims to create Pakistan in 1947.
