We want clever heroes with pen and pencils. Mujib had millions behind him while Abhijit, Ananta, Oyashekur and Razib were fighting for very different and sharper thing. They should not have lost their lives if they little paranoid. I hope lesson is learned with the last murder. Bangladesh government is simply too weak to prosecute these known murderers. They need Hepazoti patronage for their survival. I simply do not want anymore heroes at this point. Please stay safe and fire your words diligently. Critical thinking is not against anybody, any religion or any country. If we do not it, we might as well be slaves for another century. And, that would be a great shame.

It's wrong to think that those who are involved in such activities do not understand the risk in Bangladesh. I advised Avijit not to go to Bangladesh. Did he heed my advice? Not at all! Sheikh Mujib new that - he was risking his life and his family's wellbeing by dissenting the West Pakistani rulers. Did he stop his dissent out of that concern? He didn't. If he did, what did we get today? Nothing! So, blaming squarely on someone for these well visible risks is a misplaced concern. Fact is - no social change come without someone's risks and sacrifices.
I am amazed by the courage and dedication of these young people, who take this perilous journey, knowing the danger along the way. One thing that puzzles me, though, is – how callous they are about their safety and security. This is foolishness, and very wrong. The must know - the path for them is not paved with bed of roses. World is a jungle!
But, they are the real heroes, and they deserve our outmost respect, not sympathy.

Subject: [mukto-mona] How many Ananta will sacrifice their lives?
Mr. Jahed Ahmed
You should know, I have no personal enmity with you, neither do I believe in revenge to anyone. But after the death of my child Ananta, I cannot but ask you some questions. You need not answer to me; neither should your present-day active disciples need to babble in respond to my mail. Rather you answer to yourself before the mirror of mind.
I knew, from the very beginning, Ananta accepted you and Avijit Roy as his Gurus and followed your path of writing. Living in safe and secure zone of America, you inspired him to be a hardcore writer against fundamentalism without warning him that he lives in a country of blind people and mindless-killers. Was it not your duty to make conscious about his future danger? How did you so irresponsible about his life and many others? Think that your child, whatsoever his name is, lives in Bangladesh and you push him into such a danger without making him aware, will it be justice? You all here claim that you are humanists. But what do humanists really mean? All humanists will and must try to save lives of other people, because one life on earth is for once.
How could you sleep in secure room, when Ananta, soaked with blood, was rolling on bed? How did you feel safe, when his soft body was cut with choppers? How did all mukto-monas happily pass their time with their families, when the family of Ananta was going through the grinding of hearts?
Ananta was my child, my friend, my brother, and what he was not. Some relations cannot be explained by words. I say, all my beloved ones are the parts of my soul. At the death of Ananta, I lost one part of my soul. His life was a gem, because he was truly a kind–hearted man, who sought to help others by his best.
