I don't recall any chapter, or discussion, or context in this book where Tariq might bring up Bangladesh and its past political history and the persons prominent in it. Why would there be
This is not the first time Kamal Das was caught lying. Listen to the disgusting way he described Bhasani's life here. He keeps exposing his true lowly self again and again . . .

I have to collect the book and then read. Why don't you help us by saying exactly what Tariq Ali said on Bhasani?

Moulana Bhashani. Leader of the Toiling Masses:Anthology on Bangladesh's legendary Sufi sage and firebrand politician ( ed Peter Custers), but looking at the contents, it seems to be an anthology in praising Bhashani.
The publisher's note states,"A true humanist of his time, for most of his adult life, Moulana Bhashani was a Sufi Pir (sage) as well as a political leader. A Sufi Pir, he preached - and practiced - religious tolerance and egalitarianism. A secular politician, he fought for social justice, inclusion and democratic rights.Moulana Bhashani viewed society through a class lens - the oppressed and the oppressors - regardless of their religion, caste or ethnicity. With rising religious intolerance and socio-economic inequities, the world is sorely in need of a principled leader the likes of Moulana Bhashani.
This volume traces the many facets of Moulana Bhashani's political career and religious philosophies, with contributions by leading researchers, political followers and journalists familiar with his life. In addition to discovering the extraordinary life of the Moulana, the authors also provide an excellent exposition of the socio-economic and political situations of Assam, Bengal and East Pakistan, as well as of Bangladesh during the first few years of its independence."
