<br />
The government has encouraged local companies to invest in solar energy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="author vcard"><strong>(CDKN Asia</strong></span><span class="meta-sep meta-sep-entry-date"><strong>) </strong>-- </span>Bangladesh is a massively power-deficient country with peak power shortages of around 25%. More than 60% of its people do not have access to the power grid. The country only produces 3500-4200 MW of electricity against a daily demand for 4000-5200 MW on average, according to official estimates.</div>
<br />
Solar energy is an ideal solution as it can provide gridless power and is totally clean in terms of pollution and health hazards. Since it saves money on constructing electricity transmission lines, it’s economical as well. Little wonder that it is becoming popular in Bangladesh. The number of households using solar panels has now crossed the one million mark, the fastest expansion of solar use anywhere in the world. In 2002, just 7,000 households in Bangladesh were using solar panels, but now more than one million households, or five million people, are benefitting from solar energy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L-CYAMQ1o1o/VGFXJlNQv9I/AAAAAAAAA54/zwWNyLSO16M/s1600/52494269462bd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L-CYAMQ1o1o/VGFXJlNQv9I/AAAAAAAAA54/zwWNyLSO16M/s1600/52494269462bd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The Government of Bangladesh has also grasped the solar agenda, and the Prime Minister now has a 21.6 kilowatt solar power system for her office. Last year the Bangladesh Bank, the country’s central bank, installed a solar system on the rooftop of its main building to reduce pressure on the demand for electricity. This solar system, expected to last about 20 years, has an 8-kilowatt capacity.<br />
<br />
The Government of Bangladesh has also withdrawn all the import tariff and VAT (Value Added Tax) on the raw materials of solar panels for the current fiscal year. In his budget speech, the Finance Minister Abul Mal Abdul Muhit said that Bangladesh gets about 250 to 300 sunny days on average per year (rainy days are not included). He added that since the maintenance cost is very low, we could massively increase the use of solar power in the country.<br />
<br />
The solar panel providers in Bangladesh are now expecting the price of batteries and accessories to drastically reduce. In fact, solar panels and accessories imported from countries in the developed world like Germany cost a lot, but the same panels manufactured in China cost much less.<br />
The requirements of power in a typical Bangladeshi home are very small – almost 1/10th that of a Western home. The government owned Infrastructure Development Company (IDCOL)<a href="http://cdkn.org/2011/07/explosion-of-solar-power-in-bangladesh/#_msocom_1"></a> has been providing financing for these small solar panel projects in the country.<br />
<br />
The Asian Development Bank<a href="http://cdkn.org/2011/07/explosion-of-solar-power-in-bangladesh/#_msocom_2"></a> (ADB) has been at the forefront in funding solar energy in Asian countries like Thailand, India and now Bangladesh. The ADB and the Government of Bangladesh have recently signed technical assistance grant agreements of $3.3 million to provide renewable energy in rural areas with no access to grid electricity.<br />
The grant will provide $25 subsidy per Solar Home Systems (SHS) to a total of 80,000 low-income end-users. The assistance will also promote biomass, biogas, and wind as alternative sources of energy. In addition, the grant will help the state-run IDCOL improve its administrative and monitoring capacities.<br />
<br />
‘The assistance will support Bangladesh’s efforts to increase access to electricity in remote rural areas and to reduce carbon emissions by overcoming market barriers for renewable energy development’, said Thevakumar Kandiah, Country Director of ADB’s Bangladesh Resident Mission.<br />
IDCOL estimates that each SHS saves at least $61.80 worth of kerosene every year and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 375 kilograms annually as a result. Therefore, the 80,000 new SHSs to be installed through this grant assistance will bring a reduction of about 27,600 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year.<br />
<br />
On the other hand the government also plans to implement a mega solar project by setting up a 500 MW solar panel-based power installation with financial support from the ADB. Such a project will require a huge investment of $2-3 billion according topower ministry officials. As the lead agency, the power ministry has laid out a plan involving nine other ministries to implement this highly ambitious plan.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Bank has set up a Tk 200 million (US$ 2.70 million) revolving fund for banks and financial institutions to give loans at low interest in the solar energy, biogas and effluent treatment sectors. A top official of the Bangladesh Bank noted that the lack of institutional financing for renewable energy is impeding effective growth and the use of environment-friendly technology.<br />
In the capital city, Dhaka, the power department has set a pre-condition of installing solar panels on buildings applying for new connections. In the villages, solar power is even being used to operate pumps for irrigation.Today both urban city dwellers and villagers in remote areas of Bangladesh are using solar energy.<br />

<strong>KABUL, Afghanistan -- The number of U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan has more than doubled since President Obama took office, The New York Times reports.</strong> </div>
</article><article><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One thousand members of the U.S. Army and Marines were killed in the nine years after the 2001 invasion, the newspaper said. The toll hit 2,000 last week when Specialist James A. Justice died of wounds in an Army hospital in Germany. </div>
</article><article><br />
The Times figures are based on an analysis of Defense Department statistics. The newspaper included U.S. deaths in Pakistan in operations aimed at aiding the Afghanistan effort. </article><article><br />
In 2010, Obama decided to send an additional 33,000 U.S. military members to Afghanistan. The surge increased the intensity of the fight there, and the number of U.S. casualties jumped. </article><article><br />
The Times said 90 percent of recent casualties have been enlisted men, three-quarters are white and about half have been killed in Kandahar and Helmand provinces, the area in southern Afghanistan where the Taliban are strongest. The Marines have taken heavier casualties than the Army. </article><article><br />
The period with the heaviest death toll since the surge was in July, August and September of 2010, when 143 U.S. soldiers were killed. This year, at least 39 non-Afghans, most of them U.S. soldiers, have been killed by Afghans wearing police or military uniforms.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THE Punch-and-Judy show of Bangladeshi politics, in which the ruling party—run by the daughter of a former president—bashes the opposition—run by the widow of a former president—before swapping places with it, has been running for decades. The outside world rarely pays attention because nothing seems to change.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently, though, the squabbling has turned into a crisis (see </span><a href="http://bangladesh-life.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/banged-about.html"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">article</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">) which threatens to make life still worse for the 170m poor Muslims who suffer under one of the world’s worst governments. Since Bangladesh’s political leaders show no interest in their fate, outsiders need to do so.</span><br />
<div class="related-items">
<div class="last">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Sheikh Hasina, leader of the Awami League and current prime minister, and Khaleda Zia, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), alternated in power in the 1990s, things were pretty bad, but in the past decade they have got worse. The administration Mrs Zia headed from 2001 to 2006 was a brutal kleptocracy. It was followed by army-backed unelected technocrats. Then in 2008 the Awami League swept to power in a landslide victory. The League has 229 of 300 parliamentary seats compared with 31 for Mrs Zia’s BNP. Sheikh Hasina has used this mandate to consolidate power and hound her enemies, real and imagined.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There has been a spate of mysterious disappearances. This month 33 senior members of the opposition were arrested on charges of vandalism and arson. A war-crimes tribunal to investigate the atrocities in Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971—some of the bloodiest in modern history—now looks like an attempt to discredit the BNP and its Islamist allies. And the hounding of Mohammad Yunus, a pioneer of microfinance, creator of the Grameen Bank and a Nobel laureate, is seen as payback for his temerity in 2007 in trying to launch a “third force” in politics. Meanwhile, journalists and activists face intimidation and worse, and the vibrant NGOs that keep the spirit of democracy alive worry that proposed legislation would leave them at the mercy of government whims.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year the League did away with the provision that caretaker administrations should oversee elections. The arrangement was not ideal. In January 2007 protests led by the League, convinced that the BNP would rig an election, led to a coup. But without some assurance of fair play the BNP will boycott the next election, due in 2014. So there is the prospect of yet more protests, which in Bangladesh often take the form of crippling strikes. There is also the real prospect of utter political paralysis, risking even worse turmoil on the streets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The only voice in Dhaka</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The outside world is trying to do its bit. The World Bank has scrapped a deal to pay for a big bridge because of its suspicions of corruption. EU ambassadors have denounced the treatment of Mr Yunus and the harassment of activists. Hillary Clinton flew to Dhaka this month to stand by Mr Yunus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the government seems unmoved. In a snub to Mrs Clinton, it announced a review into ownership of Grameen, a move to take over (and probably destroy) the bank. The only country to have much influence in Dhaka is India. Until recently the regional superpower tolerated Sheikh Hasina’s excesses, in part because Bangladesh has cracked down on Islamists. India now seems to be hedging its bets between the two parties. But if it still wants to have a functioning democracy next door, it needs to speak out far louder in favour of it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inching through the crowded streets of Bangladesh’s capital brings both exhilaration and frustration. Dhaka’s garishly painted tricycle rickshaws, battered buses, occasional goats and luxury cars somehow all manage to creep onward. Drivers skilled at furious honking are also masters of compromise and smiles.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If only the bitter politicians could prove so deft. Some 18 months before a general election, Bangladesh suffers street protests. Opposition leaders are sent to jail, and disappearances and murders are widely blamed on an old rivalry for power. A confrontation over the next poll—who should oversee it, and whether it will be fair—is already so strident that some observers doubt a contested one will be held at all. Meanwhile, Bangladeshis fret over prices of food and fuel, chronic power cuts and broken promises of new roads.</span></span></span><br />

</div>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Khaleda Zia, tells it, all ills lie at the government’s door. She ticks off a list of wicked acts she blames on her antagonist in an ancient rivalry, the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina. A young BNP politician abducted a month ago and very probably murdered. Two others killed earlier. Some 33 opposition figures, including senior MPs, dumped in jail this month over a trumped-up case of arson. In all, she says, 3,000 BNP members have been arrested. “It is to intimidate, to create a sense of fear.”</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is plenty more darkness about. In recent months Bangladesh has endured a spate of other mysterious killings—a Saudi diplomat shot dead; a trade-union activist tortured and murdered; a pair of journalists butchered after investigating corruption. This correspondent was trailed in Dhaka by a pair of secret-service men on a motorbike. A rumour of a bizarre coup attempt, in January, was used by the government to get closer political control over the army.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the country’s best known figures, Muhammad Yunus of Grameen Bank, has been harassed for some time. An increasingly paranoid Mrs Hasina sees him as a political threat. This month in Dhaka Hillary Clinton, America’s secretary of state, met the Nobel laureate and assured him of her support. It brought no relief. Ministers snipe at him, and the government has just ordered yet another official review of his bank.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We are very worried that the commission has been formed and terms of reference include ownership,” says Mr Yunus. In effect, the government is seeking ways to grab Grameen, which is 97%-owned by its poor members, many of them women. Officials are also bent on settling scores with Mr Yunus, who oversees an ungainly charitable empire that includes a telecoms company as well as the bank. Over a lavish dinner, a group of government spies brags of having a thick file of allegations ready against the “money-monger”.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The list of gripes against the government is long. Corruption is pervasive enough for donors to be alarmed. The World Bank has scrapped funding for a bridge over the Padma river. Japan, the largest single giver of aid, has just sent its deputy prime minister to Dhaka to demand a clean-up. In a case of recent graft, a railway minister, who quit after police found sacks of cash in his aide’s car, was suddenly cleared by an internal inquiry of any corruption and reinstated to the cabinet. Meanwhile, strong doubts persist about the fairness of democracy. The United States’s ambassador in Dhaka this week repeated Mrs Clinton’s warning that the next election must be “participatory”, ie, run fairly so the opposition will take part.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most telling would be a shift in India’s attitude. Long a close ally of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League—cheering her crackdown on Islamic extremists and insurgents from India’s north-east, and being open to more trade—India’s ruling Congress party may now, sensibly, be hedging its bets. Pranab Mukherjee, India’s finance minister, called on Mrs Zia recently, inviting her back to Delhi. Mrs Zia chuckles that she will go after Delhi’s summer heat is past. She also calls the neighbour a “friend”, a possible hint of change in a party that often seeks popularity by bashing India.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Sheikh Hasina looks ever more strident, people may start tiptoeing away from her. Not every ill in Bangladesh can be laid at the prime minister’s door. Although she did mess with the constitution, scrapping arrangements she had previously insisted on in opposition for a neutral caretaker to run the government for three months before election day, she now appears to want to keep her options open, possibly in order to be better able to skew the outcome of the next election. Meanwhile, Mrs Zia’s party orders street protests and hunger strikes, and threatens angry mass rallies in June. The sad result is that politics grows more polarised and confrontational.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still, Mrs Hasina is not quite the all-powerful bogeywoman her bitterest opponents suggest. Certainly she seems set on cracking down on civil groups, for example with a new bill to put non-government organisations more firmly under political control. But it is hard to see how the murders and attacks on activists and journalists help her government, other than to spread a general sense of intimidation.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The opposition, too, has a reputation for thuggery, corruption and intimidation, and does not bother much to hide it. A veteran leader of the BNP says that, should his party boycott the next election, 20 days of street protests by BNP supporters would then be followed by violent attacks by his party workers on their rivals.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shame of it all is how little heed the squabbling politicians pay to what should matter more: keeping the economy growing and reducing poverty further. In the face of electricity shortages, blocked roads and land disputes, the Bangladesh economy has been doing remarkably well. Its clothing industry has the potential to generate over $40 billion a year from exports, according to McKinsey, a consultancy.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indicators of well-being have been improving. If annual economic growth of over 6% is sustained, a country that not long ago was a byword for poverty can contemplate reaching middle-income levels in barely a decade. But that needs single-minded focus by the government on dealing with the country’s economic bottlenecks and social needs. Instead, like Dhaka’s wretched roads, politics looks jammed. Uncertainty leading up to the next election, and growing anxiety among diplomats and foreign observers of Bangladesh, suggest a hard, tense time ahead. More than anyone, blame the driver.</span></span></span></div>

<b>( April 24, 2012, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) </b>Something is wrong in a small South Asian nation, where a authoritarian regime is gradually enforcing series of anti-people policies, making direct threat to country’s democracy, which had been repeatedly disrupted by bloody and bloodless military coups since it got liberated from Pakistan in 1971. Bangladesh, though a small nation with a total 160 million homogenous population is heading towards another playground of Marxists and Stalinists, who grabbed power through an engineered election in 2008 with the help of military junta. Many of the political experts on South Asian affairs fear, Bangladesh could become the second Communist ruled nation after Nepal within the span of next two years. The current regime of Bangladesh Awami League led leftist coalitions have already exhibited tendencies of totally ignoring the West, including the United States, thus aligning with neighboring India as its political guru.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a bloody war of nine months, the country named Bangladesh was created with 75 million populations. The first political party, Bangladesh Awami League, which formed the government under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman continued committing series of political and diplomatic blunders while Mujib opted for establishing one-party rule thus banning freedom of expression, rights of citizen as well as encouraging secret killings of the political opponents. He also attempted for making stronger ties with anti-West nations such as Cuba or Palestine for example, with the ambition of becoming another Fidel Castro in South Asia . During his rule, on an average, more than ten thousand people were subjected to secret killings, while grabbing properties of religious minorities as well as various forms of state-patronized intimidation of different opinions were already at the worst-ever alarming level. It was further added by acute food crisis and famine, as well as corruption and lawlessness at every level, which at some point even risked the independence and sovereignty of the country. In 1974, Bangladesh experienced the deadliest famine ever, which killed around 1.5 million Bangladeshi people from hunger. The Bangladesh famine of 1974 is a major source of discontent against Mujib's government. Bangladeshi people feel ashamed, insulted and demoralized as a nation for this famine that was not due to a food crisis but, according to Nobel laureate Amartya Sen -- due instead to the lack of governance and democratic practices. Intense criticism of Mujib arose over lack of political leadership, a flawed pricing policy, and rising inflation amidst heavy losses suffered by the nationalized industries. Mujib's ambitious social programs performed poorly, owing to scarcity of resources, funds and personnel, and caused unrest amongst the masses. BAKSAL (the one-party rule established by the government) was protested by different groups but they were punished by Mujibur Rahman. It was known that Mujibur Rahman never accepted any criticism against him. Mujib was widely accused for the responsible of 40000 killings by his Rakkhi Bahini (the para-militia force created for cleansing political opponents of the ruling class). On January 25, 1975 Mujib declared a state of emergency and his political supporters approved a constitutional amendment banning all opposition political parties. Mujib assumed the presidency and was given extraordinary powers. His political supporters amalgamated to form the only legalized political party, the Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League, commonly known by its initials - BAKSAL. The party identified itself with the rural masses, farmers and labourers and took control of government machinery. It also launched major socialist programs. Using government forces and a militia of supporters called the Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini, Mujib oversaw the arrest of opposition activists and strict control of political activities across the country. Members of Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini were granted immunity from prosecution and other legal proceedings. The militia known as Rakhi Bahini and police were accused of torturing suspects and political killings. While retaining support from many segments of the population, Mujib evoked anger amongst veterans of the liberation war for what was seen as a betrayal of the causes of democracy and civil rights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is possibly the only leader of his contemporaries, who turned into a dangerous dictator from being a most-popular leader of the people. Though Mujib still is considered as a towering personality in South Asia for his courageous role in leading the nation towards attaining independence, the subsequent actions of his government, which mostly went against the people, had certainly labeled him as a good leader but worst administrator or even a ruthless dictator. The era of Mujibur Rahman came to an end following a military coup in 1975, wherefrom the country went through decade-long suspension of democracy, thus entering number of dictatorial military regimes. Things once again started changing in 1990, when military dictator and Islamist pal General Hussain Mohammed Ershad was ousted from power through a mass revolt. Since then democracy continued to crawl again. But once again, the high ambitious military men in Bangladesh put democracy into dictatorial clutches in 2007 by seizing power from a constitutional government thus continuing numerous forms of anti-democracy actions, including attempts of eliminating the mainstream political parties and leadership. It also got involved in criminal actions like extorting industrialists, entrepreneurs and businessmen, including social elites thus establishing a total reign of terror. International community became extremely critical of such actions of the military junta and started putting pressure for restoring democracy. Sensing severe consequences, the military junta attempted to bargain with the political parties about getting indemnity to all of their misdeeds during the dictatorial rule of two years. Few meetings took place overseas between the representatives of the military controlled junta and Bangladesh Awami League, while Bangladesh Nationalist Party rejected any such secret compromise formula. Moreover, international patrons of the military controlled junta, particularly India were putting emphasis in seeing Bangladesh Awami League installed into power for implementation of a number of Indian agendas, which include, letting New Delhi get the corridor facilities from Bangladesh for transporting its commercial and military cargoes to the North-Eastern region. It is rightly predicted by the political forecasters that such facilities were extremely necessary for India to maintain its tight grip over the North-Eastern region, thus eliminating the existing struggles of independence. Should India did not get the corridor facilities from Bangladesh for another 2-3 years, few Christian dominated independent nations would already emerge within the map of Indian sub-continent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly a pro-Indian mere puppet government in Bangladesh was essential for letting Indian security forces and intelligence agencies enter the territory of Bangladesh in discreet manner to hunt for anti-Indian elements within the country and gradually eliminate them thus continuing offensives on the anti-Indian notions and sentiments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thirdly, such government in Bangladesh was required by New Delhi to somehow dampen Bangladesh Army as well as paramilitary forces, which is once again important for New Delhi to establish Indian dominance within South Asia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The long-cherished dream of India turned true with the victory of Bangladesh Awami League. It is authentically proved by various sources that India aspires to see the current government in Dhaka to continue in power at least up to 2021, when a submissive Bangladesh can be totally ensured. Though India proclaims to be the largest democracy in the world, it has agenda of establishing one-party authoritarian rule in Bangladesh with a brute administration, thus greatly and blindly compromising the interest of Bangladesh in every level. This is now a win-win situation for India while a real agony forthe people of Bangladesh seeing a government in Dhaka, which puts more emphasis on implementing Indian agendas, instead of paying minimal attention to the interest of Bangladesh. When Bangladesh completed its fourth decade of independence recently, it is justly feared by many that the nation of 160 million people are now destined towards losing its own dignity and pride, thus letting the rogue regime in scraping democracy and establishing the one-party dictatorship with fullest and dedicated agendas of serving the purpose of India.</div>

<b>( April 23, 2012, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) </b>Democracy in one of the South Asian nations visibly is at the most vulnerable state now, when the ruling party, Bangladesh Awami League is applying nefarious tactics of secret killings, abduction, forced disappearance and massive corruption at the blessings and patronization of the ruling elites. The case of enforced disappearance though started in Bangladesh for past three and half years since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina formed the government, the issue has now drawn attention of the global community, when recently a former MP and prominent leader of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, M Ilias Ali disappeared along with his chauffer, while the Prime Minister were seen making jokes centering this issue of grave concern. Sheikh Hasina and her government has some how become comfortably confident of being assured by New Delhi on remaining in power at least up to 2019, which is again a substantial period for the ruling party and its elites in establishing much stronger grip over country’s civil and military administration, as well as the judiciary, thus bringing Bangladesh under one-party rule, which was the brain-child of Hasina’s father Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.</div>

Prior to this election, Sheikh Hasina sought apology to the people for all wrong-doings of her father and promised good governance if voted into power.</span> </span></i></td></tr>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, who is the founding-father of Bangladesh, introduced the one-party rule system named BKSAL, which he conceived from former Soviet Union. A lot of Mujib followers and sycophants were seen worshipping the new-god in Bangladeshi political sky, thus attempting of portray an image of Mujibur Rehman as the political prophet of Bengal. Right after the independence of the country, Mujib though made numerous pledges of ensuring rights of the citizen and freedom of press and expression, on formation of his one-party rule, the first offensive came on country’s media, thus banning all the newspapers but two thus introducing repressive laws such as Special Powers Act, pushing opposition activists inside prison while encouraging forced disappearance and secret killings. At least ten to twelve thousand opposition activists were brutally murdered by the private militia of Mujib, just within two years. Country’s image was greatly tarnished internationally, while fellow-members of the Mujib cabinet as well as his family and friends got completely indulged into huge corruption, which made Bangladesh as “bottomless basket case”, with acute famine in 1974 and series of agonies and sufferings of the masses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The era of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman came to a tragic end, when he was assassinated along with members of his family on 15th August 1975 in a military coup. At such tragic end of the founding father of the nation, no one – not even the members and activists of ruling Awami League felt sorry or left tears, while majority of the people were expressing joyful remarks. Such fates to Awami League were the result of its experiment of imposing Stalinist prototype dictatorial administration on the people, thus snatching their minimum rights. Following the assassination of Mujibur Rehman, the very existence of Awami League became totally uncertain, while many of the Mujib colleagues happily joined the successive government thus branding Mujib as the “Pharaoh” of Bengal. One of Mujibur Rehman’s closest aides and cabinet colleagues, Abdul Malek Ukil, when asked in London to comment on the assassination of the founding father of the country said, “The nation has got rid of the pharaoh! Mujib wanted to establish dynastic rule in Bangladesh to let him and his ancestors remain in power for ever. But such wrongdoings have been rightly punished by the divine forces.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 20 years of the tragic assassination of the founding father, the people of Bangladesh voted Mujib’s eldest daughter Sheikh Hasina into power in 1996 and her government had to finally face a huge defeat just after five years, simply because of its massive corruption, nepotism, state-patronized crime and bad governance. Prior to this election, Sheikh Hasina sought apology to the people for all wrong-doings of her father and promised good governance if voted into power. During the election campaign, she even put on Islamic hijab (veil) surely with the idea of getting sympathy from the majority of the Muslim voters in the country. Anyway her strategy clicked and her party won the election, though it faced a huge defeat just in five years, simply because of extreme misrule and bad governance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2008 again, Sheikh Hasina made fresh pledges to the people with renewed apology for the “mistakes”during her during of 1996-2001, and promised “a better Bangladesh” with the implementation of her Vision 2021 and establishment of “Digital Bangladesh”. It was already known in the political and media circles in India that, the pre-election propaganda strategy and the election manifesto of Awami League were drafted by a team of seasoned politicians and media personnel from India, while Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Pranab Mukherjee contributed in the election manifesto of Bangladesh Awami League by incorporating their important inputs. The economic plans of the manifesto were consulted with famous economists, which include Nobel laureate Amartya Sen and Dr. Mohammed Yunus, while defense policies were drafted by New Delhi’s South-Block. The initial concept of Indian policymakers extreme involvement behind Awami League election manifesto as well as campaign strategy were aimed at getting series of issues and treaties signed and decided by the Bangladeshi government under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina in order to ensure India’s un-protested supremacy over Bangladesh forever. When New Delhi policymakers sensed the voters in Bangladesh were still in confusion in putting their mandate in favor of Awami League, Dr. Manmohan Singh and some key figures in Indian politics sought help from the Western governments in influencing the caretaker government in Bangladesh in extending total support towards Awami League and ensure its victory. Though the general election took place in December-2008, Sheikh Hasina’s special envoys secretly visited India in November-2008 to finalize the list of the next cabinet. New Delhi was already given assurance by the Bangladeshi caretaker government of letting Awami League win the election under “any circumstance”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On 17thNovember 2008, RAW’s deputy assistant director Manoj Pillai in a “Top Secret” message (Ref No: Makr.sabd.poll08.4716) addressed to the its Chief wrote, “A senior officer of DGFI-Bangladesh has informed over phone at 02:40pm that Bangladesh Nationalist Party is still undecided on joining in the election run, though some of the mid-level policymakers of that party are pursuing Mrs. Khaleda Zia in getting her consent in joining the poll. The officer also informed that it has successfully convinced the top-policymakers of Jamat-e-Islami in putting pressure on Bangladesh Nationalist Party in joining the election run. He emphasized on putting our contacts within Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamat-e-Islami fully activated in continuing strong persuasion and pressure on Mrs. Zia, as it is feared that she might have been adversely influenced by the Chinese block and Saudi block from in refraining from joining the election. Without participation of BNP, the election will not get international acceptance. For the sake of our national interest, necessary steps should be initiated urgently on this matter.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the content of the above letter, it is clear that Indian government and its agencies were desperately working in favor of holding the election in 2009, as it was confident about Awami League’s victory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As expected, Awami League got a huge victory in the election and since it formed government in January-2009, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet are seen totally committed in implementing all of its commitments and pledges, made to India, without arguing or questioning its impacts on Bangladesh or its people. This is for the first time; New Delhi has been very successful in putting a party in power, which never betrayed with Indian policymakers, even after facing substantial protests domestically for its expressive and exposed inclination towards New Delhi. On the other hand, for the people of Bangladesh, this is possibly one of their worst-ever period of national catastrophe of letting Awami League still being in power for another one plus year. No doubt the ruling party and its elites are fully aware of people’s grievance and anger at it due to its pro-India policy, which directly goes against the interest of Bangladesh. Sensing this as well the possible revolt of the people either before the election or during the election, thus throwing Awami League once again into trash, the ruling party is carrying out its well-planned agenda of political secret killings as well as forced disappearances, with the goal of eliminating most of the potential political opponents as well as leaders of the opposition parties, especially BNP and Jamaat. The case of forced disappearance became prominent when BNP leader and ex Member of Parliament M Ilias Ali went into missing along with his chauffer few days back. As he hails from Bangladesh’s eastern province named Sylhet, hundreds and thousands of Sylhetis in London have started protesting this particular incident, while they also are putting pressure on the British government in asking Bangladesh in releasing M Ilias Ali, while the British media may also start writing on this issue soon. This particular case of forced disappearance of M Ilias Ali will surely cause maximum damage to the remaining image of the ruling party in Bangladesh and it may even erect the road to mass revolt or even freezing of the democracy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While Bangladeshi Sylheti community in London are very active and protesting the forced disappearance of M Ilias Ali, few pro-Awami League palls such as write Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury or some of the business associates of Sheikh Rehana, including retired Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique, Lt. Gen. Harun Ar Rashid and Mohd. Rafiqul Amin is trying to organize people to counter the protests of angered Sylhetis in London and the United Kingdom. Lt. Gen. Harun Ar Rashid and Mohd. Rafiqul Amin run multi-million GBP businesses in United Kingdom while he also has forcefully occupied a number of businesses in Bangladesh, with the direct assistance of Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique and his sister-in-law Sheikh Rehana (the younger sister of Bangladeshi PM). According to Times of Assam, this racket has smuggled millions of GBP to United Kingdom and turned into multi-millionaires from being a small fries in Bangladeshi society, just within months of Awami League’s forming the government. Sheikh Rehana and Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique are having direct hands behind Lt. Gen. Harun Ar Rashid and Mohd. Rafiqul Amin in series of illegal activities including land grabbing, extortion, blackmailing and looting of public wealth. It is rumored in Dhaka that Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique is controlling the forces intelligence as well as National Security Intelligence, while he also uses Rapid Action Battalion for the sake of his personal interests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It said the man behind secret killings and forced disappearances is Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique, who is directly commanding DGFI and RAB in executing the murder and abduction plans of Awami League. Many term Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique as the “General of the fascists in Bangladesh”.</div>

RANGPUR, Bangladesh — “If they see me talking to you, they’re going to give me a lot of trouble,” says Abdul Rahim.<br />
<br />
Standing at the very edge of his property on the Bangladesh-India border, the 48-year-old Indian farmer is half a step away from illegally crossing into the Bangladeshi village of Chander Haat. But it’s not the possibility of getting caught trespassing by Bangladeshi border guards that worries him.<br />
<br />
Behind Rahim, a couple hundred meters into the Indian side of the border, is the world’s longest — and bloodiest — barbed wire fence.<br />
<br />
Dubbed the “wall of death” by locals, the 4,000 km barrier spans the length of the fifth-longest border in the world, and is manned by India’s Border Security Force (BSF), whose guards kill both Bangladeshis and Indians with impunity. <br />
<br />
Rahim claims the BSF routinely harasses him and has occasionally beaten him on suspicion of aiding or sheltering illegal Bangladeshi migrants and smugglers.<br />
<br />
It's a tense border. Despite India helping Bangladesh gain independence in 1971, relations between the two countries have remained strained since the 1947 partition of India, when the subcontinent was split along religious lines, creating East Pakistan where present-day Bangladesh is. Partition resulted in a bloodbath, with over 1 million killed in the space of a few months and more than 10 million Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs displaced in one of the largest mass migrations in human history.<br />
<br />
Little progress has been made over decades between the two countries on hot-button issues like smuggling, supplying arms and refuge to Indian insurgents, and control of the numerous rivers that flow through both countries.<br />
<br />
But the standout crisis dominating Indian discourse is undocumented migrants.<br />
Official estimates are that there are 2 million undocumented Bangladeshi migrants in India. A number frequently reported in India media is 20 million.<br />
<br />
Like Mexican undocumented migrants in the United States, their Bangladeshi counterparts are the favored scapegoats of the Indian right — blamed for unemployment, crime, terrorism, "low-key Talibanization," and "disturbing our indian sex-ratio statistics."<br />
<br />
This has created a situation where many say India’s border guards are trigger-happy. <br />
On Jan. 7, 2011, Felani Khatun and her father arrived at the barbed wire a little after the early morning call to prayer had rung out from a nearby mosque. Dressed up in traditional bridal wear and wedding jewelry, the drowsy 15 year old had fallen asleep several times during their overnight journey to the border and could barely keep her eyes open.<br />
<br />
Felani, born in India to parents who were undocumented migrants there, was returning to Bangladesh to get married. But it was daylight now, and Felani’s father Nurul Islam was afraid.<br />
<br />
The local smugglers he had paid Rs 3000 ($70) to help him and his daughter across insisted however that everything was fine, and the two began to climb up the ladder that had been arranged for them.<br />
Nurul Islam made it over successfully. Moments later, as Felani reached the top of the 2.5m high fence, Indian border guards who had spotted them came running out and shot her dead from close range.<br />
<br />
“[The BSF shot] without any warning. I don’t understand why they didn’t shout anything,” remembers Nurul Islam, who has been relocated with the rest of his family to the Bangladeshi village of Ramkhana, near where his daughter died. “I wish they’d said ‘stop.’ If they’d just said ‘stop’ she would’ve been saved.”<br />
<br />
Felani’s lifeless body hung from the fence for five hours, in full view of Bangladeshi and Indian farmers living nearby. Eventually, the BSF slung her hands and feet onto a bamboo pole and took her away.<br />
<br />
It was over 30 hours before her body was handed over to Bangladeshi authorities and returned to her father. “They took her jewelry,” Nurul Islam said, sardonically.<br />
<br />
A photo, first published in Indian newspaper Anandabazaar, of Felani’s corpse hanging from the fence sparked a huge uproar in Bangladeshi media. The Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram announced during a visit to Dhaka in July that the BSF would use non-lethal weapons, and that they would no longer shoot at civilians under any circumstances.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XdKSh3-oTdg/VGFbin3dCTI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/whdn0quPYow/s1600/holisticmanagement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XdKSh3-oTdg/VGFbin3dCTI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/whdn0quPYow/s1600/holisticmanagement.jpg" height="237" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Stemming the cattle trade</span><br />
<br />
Six months later the deaths on the border continue to pile up.<br />
Except now they come about in more creative ways. Shootings are rarer, but Bangladeshi border guards report recent incidents of fatal beatings, strangling, stoning, and poisonous injections.<br />
<br />
Human rights group Odhikar accuses the BSF of killing over 1,000 Bangladeshis in the past decade. The BSF themselves admit responsibility for the deaths of 364 Bangladeshis and 164 Indians since 2006.<br />
<br />
That was when their government began constructing the fence, inspired by Israel’s West Bank barrier.<br />
But neither the barbed wire nor the extrajudicial murders have been successful in stopping a lucrative, illicit trade in cattle.<br />
<br />
Cows in Bangladesh sell for three to four times what they fetch in India, and resourceful traffickers have devised new, brutal ways to get around the obstacle.<br />
<br />
Rahim, the Indian farmer who witnesses this happen almost nightly, describes the procedure: “They use ramps to get the cows up to the middle part of the wire fence. The wires here are a little bit further apart than the rest of the fence. They loosen the wires a little bit more, then they bind the legs and the mouth of the cow, haul it up the ramp and pass it through to the other side.”<br />
<br />
“It takes 10 minutes to get 50 cows through,” says Rahim, “But it’s not easy to get 10 minutes. The smugglers always follow the BSF, keeping an eye on them, waiting for an opportunity.”<br />
<br />
The BSF guards aren’t cartoon villains, and Rahim is aware that they are doing a dangerous job.<br />
<br />
“The smugglers are reckless people,” he says, “they don’t hesitate to attack the BSF. They are armed with sickles, knives, and they threaten the BSF. They say ‘leave us alone if you fear for your life, we’re here to die anyway’.”<br />
<br />
Though the anti-smuggling and anti-immigration efficacy of South Asia’s Berlin Wall is debatable, its impact on those living nearby is not.<br />
<br />
Bangladeshis have predictably bristled at the prospect of being corralled in by their giant neighbor, which surrounds them on the west, north, and east, and which they have always been a little bit paranoid about.<br />
<br />
With a growing population of 150 million packed into an area smaller than Iowa, the fence is also making many Bangladeshis claustrophobic.<br />
<br />
“A barbed wire fence is a psychological expression of hegemony. They have surrounded the people of Bangladesh on three sides with barbed wire,” said Adilur Rahman, the general secretary of Dhaka based rights group Odhikar, “High powered floodlights, barb wire… it looks like a World War II concentration camp.”<br />
<br />
The floodlights beam directly into the home of 9-year-old Anis Ahmed, who complains that they are so bright he has trouble sleeping at night.<br />
<br />
<strong>Hostilities run deep</strong><br />
<br />
Anis works on his family’s farm every day on the Bangladesh side of the border near the northern village of Amgaon. Their land goes right up to the border, where lush green rows of rice plants imperceptibly switch from Bangladeshi to Indian.<br />
<br />
According to international regulations, the fence cannot be closer than 150 meters to the actual border, so the actual fence falls behind rows of Indian crops.<br />
<br />
There are no clearly visible signs demarcating the exact point where Bangladeshi soil becomes Indian. Locals are simply expected to know where the line is.<br />
<br />
Most of them do, and they stay away. But the precocious Anis and his 11-year-old cousin Shohir Jamal often walk across it to examine what lies beyond the fence.<br />
<br />
“We go up to see the barbed wire fence,” says Anis, “When we go up to it they [the BSF guards] mock us, scold us. They say ‘Ei Bengali admi, bhago giya, bhago giya [hey Bengali, go away].’ They swear a lot at us, but things we don’t understand really.”<br />
<br />
The children here are growing up surrounded by an atmosphere of hostility and suspicion. Everyone in their village is viewed as a potential smuggler or an accomplice of smugglers.<br />
Many are. People here are very poor, and supplementary income is precious.<br />
<br />
Manik, the local schoolteacher, was recently arrested and given three years detention by the BSF during his first foray into cattle smuggling. Akbar Ali, an elected member of the local government here, has just returned having completed his own three-year term for trafficking cows.<br />
<br />
Suspicions run deep. During the day Anis and Shohir work side by side with the Indian farmers like Rahim, whose crops fall between the border with Bangladesh and the barbed wire fence. The proximity, however, does not imply interaction.<br />
<br />
“They don’t talk to us. The BSF don’t want them to have a good relationship with Bangladeshis,” says Anis, “They [the BSF] worry that they’ll end up helping people cross the border.”<br />
Rahim regrets this new distance with once close neighbors.<br />
<br />
“When we were children we used to play together every day,” he recalls. “We used to eat at each others’ houses. I went to school in Bangladesh.”<br />
<br />
Because the fence had to be built 150 meters within Indian territory, Rahim and more than 100,000 other Indians have found themselves on the wrong side of the barbed wire.<br />
<br />
Rahim is cut off from the rest of his country, trapped within a slice of land about as wide as an airport runway.<br />
<br />
The gates at the fence open only for three hours: 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., noon to 1:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. These are the only times when Rahim and his family can move back and forth to visit relatives, go shopping, or send their kids to school.<br />
<br />
Children frequently miss school because they arrive after the gate has been closed. Rahim’s daughter lives with a relative 40 kilometers behind the wire. He estimates that he sees her only once in five months or so.<br />
<br />
“If we go to shop at 4:00 p.m., we have to make sure we’re back by 5:00 p.m., otherwise we’re locked out for the night,” he complains.<br />
<br />
As he speaks, a woman comes wading through a stream on the Bangladeshi side of the border. She is carrying multiple cell phones in her hands.<br />
<br />
“There’s no electricity in our houses,” explains Rahim, “We’re cut off from the electrical grid. So we have to sneak over to Bangladesh when the guards aren’t looking to charge our phones.”<br />
<br />
“The wire fence makes us feel like prisoners,” he said.<br />
<br />
One day, when he has saved enough, Rahim says he plans to move to the other side of the fence. His expectations aren’t high for what may be in store there, but at least he will have ended his status as collateral damage of a stalemate between nation-states.<br />

Nobody can relate exactly when the ashes used as detergent started, but it is sure the practice has a history of centuries. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Bangladesh government established the ‘International Crimes Tribunal’ claiming to put behind bars all those who were supposed to be involved in loot, plunder and arson rape and killings during war of independence in 1971.</strong></span><br />
<br />
In a country which has a list of unresolved problems, this issue has provided electronic and print media with a topic of interest. After nabbing NP and JIBD central leaders, Hasina government has arrested Professor Ghulam Azam under same false pretext. If the human rights violations remain unchecked by international body, BD government may create many more problems for itself. It is a known reality that, outside India, Hasina wajed is a trustworthy ally to New Delhi, no matter in power or in opposition.<br />
<br />
Awami League government nabbed Salahuddin Qadir Chaudhry and Abdulaleem alleging them of collaborating with Pakistan Army during 1970, later on Moteeur Rahman Nizami and Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojaheed were arrested under same charges.<br />
<br />
Now, 89-year-old Professor Ghulam Azam has also been arrested to defend himself in front of the International Crimes Court. Would justice prevail, this is a question for the conscience of Bangladeshi people and ruling and opposition parties as Professor Ghulam Azam is a very important political leader in Bangladesh.<br />
<br />
Highly revered by the Islam-loving people of the country, he has been the prime target of physical and intellectual assaults of the secular quarter of the society. He was the prime organiser of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh and one of the key players of most of the historic events of the nation including the Language Movement, movement for democracy in the 60s and 80s. He presented the caretaker government formula which became a foundation stone of our democracy.<br />
He was born in November 7, 1922 at Lakxmi Bazar Shah Shaheb Bari in Dhaka, the house of his maternal grandfather, the late Shah Shaheb. He received his masters in political science from Dhaka University.<br />
<br />
Professor Ghulam Azam played a leading role in the Language Movement of the country. In November 1948, he submitted a memorandum to the prime minister of Pakistan on behalf of the students of Dhaka University demanding the state language status for Bangla.<br />
The movement continued, he was arrested in charge of the movement in 1952 and 1955, and, at a stage, the government had to declare Bangla as a state language of Pakistan.<br />
<br />
Professor Ghulam Azam was a practicing Muslim from his childhood. He came in touch with the political and cultural thinking of Islam through a cultural organisation named 'Tamaddun Mozlish'. Being a teacher of Political Science in Rangpur Kermichle College, he established a branch of 'Tamaddun Majlish' in Rangpur in 1952.<br />
<br />
His quest for leading the life of a complete Muslim took him to Tablig Jamaat. He was the chief of Tablig Jamaat of Rangpur for the period of 1951-1954. His separate experiences with 'Tamaddun Majlish' and 'Tablig Jamaat' increased his longing for an organisation that could cover both the spiritual and sociopolitical aspects of Islam, so he laid the foundation of Jamaat-e-Islami at last.<br />
He became secretary general to Jamaat-e-Islami East Pakistan in 1957 and was jailed in 1964 by the military ruler Ayub Khan. He played a key role in the formation of Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) in 1967. It was all party democratic resistance movement against the military rule of Ayub Khan. He was the secretary general to the Executive Committee of PDM’s East Pakistan Wing. He became the chief of East Pakistan Jamaat-e-Islami in 1969.<br />
<br />
Like all other Islamic parties and groups, he did not support the Liberation War of Bangladesh. The reason for not supporting the Liberation War of 1971 was that he did not believe that independence from Pakistan would solve their problem.<br />
He believed in self-rule or autonomy and continued to campaign in favour of that. He was against the Liberation War because, according to him, it was fully controlled by India and, therefore, gaining independence with India's support could have resulted in the country being indirectly ruled by India. He feared that India would become a bully and would do everything to dominate the politics and economy of the country.<br />
<br />
Soon after the liberation, the new government started its campaign for uprooting Islam and democracy from Bangladesh. The government deleted the word 'Muslim' and 'Islam' from the names of educational institutes, banned Islam-based politics and arrested and tortured noted Islamic leaders and scholars. Professor Ghulam Azam's very citizenship was canceled and he had to spend his life in exile till 1978.<br />
<br />
He was declared the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami in 1991. He was sent to jail in 1992 and later the court issued his release orders while the Supreme Court reinstated his citizenship in 1994.<br />
He left active politics in 2000 and, currently, he was there to provide guidance to the Islamic thinker and politicians of Bangladesh.<br />
Keeping Prof Azam’s clean political and social life in view and analysing his contribution to the prosperity and development of Bangladesh, it is needed that such a respectable and seasoned politician should be released.<br />
<br />
Keeping in view the long detention of Nelson Mandela and Aan San Suchi, BD authorities should learn a lesson and should not open another Pandora Box by humiliating towering Bangladeshi personalities like Prof Ghulam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"It all smells of emerging autocracy."</span><br />
<br />
WHY isn’t there more cheering in Bangladesh as the country gets ready to mark 40 years of independence? So far there have been few efforts to rouse the masses, though the government did confer a posthumous prize last week on Indira Gandhi, as a way of crediting India for helping create Bangladesh in 1971. <a href="http://www.economist.com/node/21524917"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Ties between the neighbours are warming</span></a>, with India’s home minister, <span class="st">Palaniappan </span>Chidambaram, just<span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics/nation/bsf-directed-to-fire-only-in-self-defence-chidambaram/articleshow/9422472.cms"><span style="color: #cccccc;">in Dhaka to sign a new deal</span></a> that is supposed to bring an end to <a href="http://www.economist.com/node/18073333"><span style="color: #cccccc;">killings</span></a> along their <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/banyan/2011/02/enclaves_between_india_and_bangladesh"><span style="color: #cccccc;">long, shared border</span></a><span style="color: #cccccc;">.</span> But there is little evidence yet of ordinary Bangladeshis rushing to celebrate. Perhaps this is in part a reaction to official efforts to commandeer the nation’s history for fleeting political goals. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Bangladesh</span><span lang="EN-GB">’s birth—the secession of the eastern part of Pakistan from the western bit—was painful and bloody. No one is sure how many people died: the total was perhaps in the hundreds of thousands, though the wildest estimates talk of millions of deaths and of attempted genocide on the part of Pakistan. In March 1971 Pakistan’s army (dominated by soldiers from the western part of the country) and their Bengali allies did carry out massacres in a brutal effort to quell the secession. That failed, provoking a more intense push for the break-up, floods of refugees and finally military intervention by India. By December 1971 Pakistan’s forces were defeated.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">In the process however, there were many more massacres, retaliatory killings and a host of other forms of score-settling, such as between Bengalis and “Biharis”, non-Bengali Muslims who had moved to the territory during India’s partition in 1947. Pakistani forces were responsible for a host of horrors, such as a massacre of intellectuals in Dhaka very late on. But as a correspondent of </span><span lang="EN-GB"><em>The Economist</em></span><span lang="EN-GB"> pointed out on December 25th 1971: “It is often forgotten that the bloodshed in the spring was not all one-sided, and that the east Bengalis killed thousands of non-Bengalis.” After the war, as Bangladesh struggled to come to terms with its new existence, little effort was made to account for who did what. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Now, however, some efforts are under way to reassess that history. The official effort, directed by the current government of Sheikh Hasina, is to start a process of war-crimes trials. The first of these is supposed to get under way in the next few weeks. In theory this is welcome, and could indeed bring wrongdoers to account, even four decades on. In practice, there are strong reasons to doubt the process. These trials are to investigate only seven individuals (so far), seven who sympathised with the idea of a united Pakistan, but who deny any criminal wrongdoing. The facts that they happen to be leading members of the opposition today, and that the government has taken little advice from human-rights groups or international war-crimes bodies, cast doubt on the purpose of the prosecution. Nor is it reassuring that Bangladesh’s judiciary looks increasingly politicised.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The trials also happen to come amid efforts by Mrs Hasina’s government to claim more powers by amending the constitution, which will revert to a version which the country had instituted shortly after independence. Apart from some outdated promises (a devotion to Socialism with a capital S) and apparently inconsistent ones (all religions are to be treated equally—though Islam is the state religion—while the state is also secular), the resurrected constitution will make it easier for Mrs Hasina’s party to control the running of the next general election in 2013. On top of that, it encourages a personality cult around the figure of Bangladesh’s murdered independence leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Mrs Hasina’s father. Now the late Sheikh Mujibur is to be hailed as the father of the nation, and his portrait must be put up in every office or business. It all smells of emerging autocracy.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Beyond the government, too, there is evident touchiness over unofficial attempts to reassess what happened at independence. For example a new book by an Oxford scholar, Sarmila Bose, has drawn <a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/a-dhaka-debacle/824484/"><span style="color: #cccccc;">vitriolic scorn by reviewers</span></a> and historians of Bangladesh. <span style="color: #cccccc;">“<span class="aptureLink " id="apture_prvw1"><span class="aptureLinkIcon" style="background-position: right -1348px;"> </span>Dead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh war</span>”</span> is an effort by an Indian former journalist to interview Bangladeshis and Pakistanis who took part in, or were victims of, atrocities during the war. Her book is indeed flawed: it rushes to sweeping judgments and fails to offer much context for the snippets of interviews she presents. For its failings, the book deserves sharp criticism. Yet Ms Bose also does something rather admirable in raising difficult questions about the numbers of people who actually died in 1971, casting doubt on the official tally of 3m or so. And she speaks to perpetrators and victims on different sides, recording their testimony. In the process she provides a reminder that it is not for governments alone to write any country’s history.</span></div>

<span style="color: #bf9000;">Millions celebrate as Egyptian president cedes power to the army, ushering in a new era of optimism in the Arab world.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, has resigned from his post, handing over power to the armed forces and ending a 30-year grip on the largest Arab nation.</span></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Omar Suleiman, the vice-president, announced in a televised address on Friday that the president was "waiving" his office, and had handed over authority to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. <a href="http://azibuddin-servepeople.blogspot.com/2011/02/triumph-as-mubarak-quits.html">READ MORE>></a></span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">Saturday 5th February, 2011 </span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Thousands of protestors took to the streets of the Yemeni capital demanding the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has ruled the country for over thirty years, despite concessions made by the Yemeni strongman. </span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Saleh has been in power in Yemen for 32 years and, apparently looking to prevent a scenario similar to that seen in Tunisia and Egypt, recently announced that he would not seek re-election in 2013, when his current term of office ends, and that he would not seek to place his son in power.</span></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">This announcement was not met favourably by some members of the public and they took to the streets of Sanaa in their thousands, calling for Saleh to resign at once. <a href="http://azibuddin-servepeople.blogspot.com/2011/02/yemen-sees-early-stages-of-revolt-after.html">Read More>></a></span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">Saturday 5th February, 2011 </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">RadioFreeEurope</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">On Friday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei described the uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, and other Arab countries as an Islamic awakening. Khamenei said the uprisings, if successful, would lead to the failure of U.S. policies in the region.</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Iranian leader praised the protesters in Egypt and called President Hosni Mubaraka a traitor and America’s servant. Khamenei accused the United States of backing corrupt leaders in the region in order to protect its own interests.</span></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Khamenei said the 1979 revolution that led to the fall of the shah served as a model for the Arab revolt. He said, however, that the 2009 protests in Iran against the disputed reelection of President Mahmud Ahmadinejad were planned by foreign countries. <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/iran_islamic_awakening_khamenei_protests_egypt/2298396.html">RadioFreeEurope>></a></span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #bf9000;">When a severe drought hit the Amazon in 2005, it was considered a ‘once in a century’ disaster, but just six years later a drought even worse in its extent is sending chills through the scientific community.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Amazon River has fallen to its lowest level in decades, leaving scores of towns and cities along its length, and those of its tributaries, stranded as water levels either fall too low for safe navigation by boat, or evaporate entirely. <a href="http://azibuddin-servepeople.blogspot.com/2011/02/once-in-century-drought-in-amazon.html">Read More>></a></span></strong><br />
