Bangladesh Affairs:
Demand for no upturned corruption beat!
What is meant by this animation? A hammer is thumping over the top of the peg, but the peg is upturning once more. This animation is simply collected and I do not know who the animator is, even it is not known what exactly he wanted to mean by it. On seeing the animation, an idea struck on my head. I thought it exactly matched with the on going situation of Bangladesh .
Presently, a popular slogan ‘ Ekone shomoy” or “ Now it is the time!” .
In order to find out the corrupts and to speedy up the anti corruption movement with the collection of information and data about the corrupts' chronology from the citizen, this slogan was rampant on the billboard, on the electronic and print mass media- every where- and so this twisted inspiration to many including me. Head of the Atrocious Crimes Control Taskforce Major General M.A Matin's declaration to deal with the big fish was initially obscure. Even it was unthinkable whether the Chief of Awami League Sheikh Hasina Wajed would have to behind the bars as a big catch .Since she was attended to the oath ceremony for the undertaking of the newly advisers lead by Dr. Fakruddin Ahmed on 11 th January, 2007 at Gonobhaban. This incident recalled me the proverb “What is lotted can not be blotted ! ”
The judiciary that arranged the execution of Bangla Bhai , Sheikh Abdur Rahman Gong , it is the same judiciary who is proceeding to the case of former VIPs including politicians , engineers, businessman, Beaurocrats . It seems that they are on the scale and judiciary is weighing their real weight!
Apart from Sheikh Hasina's irresponsibility and conspiracy with the national wealth regarding NYCO case , Begum Khalda Zia and many other leaders of different parties, in the following years, like Motiur Rahman Nizami have to clarify what they really did. Although another Jamat –i — Islami leader Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mujahid sated that they had not made alliance with the BNP for the corruption. It may give them chance and if they may prove his claim, the autocracy of majority party, especially BNP would no longer be misjudged.
Any way, some foreign Ambassador has already warned GOB to keep untouched permanent administrative watchdog Beaurocrat. It is really wondered me why ‘they' were especially treated by Mr. Anwar Chowdhury? If they deserve punishment by the customary laws (For instance penal code) for their anti-state stunts, then what would be the problem? It was the Beaurocracy that came in to the street to sworn in Awami League and held the banner “ Aija tui kobe jab? ” “ Aziz, when would you give up? ” If they may do such role to make the Awami politics alive, what did they do to stop their syndicated corruption? When such NYCO agreement was signed what was their role? So they were/ are not washed tulsi leaf! If such anti corruption drive might have not made any political or leadership crisis, then nepotism to such permanent mechanism “Beaurocracy” can no longer be a fair judgment. It is the reason for what the continuity of administration has been appearing very clumsy? The permanency of Beaurocracy is one of the many reasons for what the corruption has deep rooted .Along with permanency, the pours moral character: greed for foreign commission, foreign training, and blood of the public is destroying the foundation of Bangladesh . In such a fragile situation: who is to arbitrate? Military, UN peace keeper? Indian soldiers as like as the agreement of India-Bangladesh 1971, 72 or USA soldier as happened in Panama , Iraq , and Afghanistan ? Who? Who??
So it is we who have to build up our future with our own hands. Although the peg upturns ( in the animation) , need to beat the peg every now and then and unless seen any impact of development the hammer may be replaced by bulldozer! History of Bengal was sometimes very rude!
'Eyes unslept to guard the border..'
BM Research ,23 april ,2008
W hile western colonialism grasped the whole world under the banner of business, military expedition in the last 1600s, the socio-economical miserable condition of the African, Asian people had been started to be enjoyed. In order to secure the worldly means, for instance, natural resource and industrial raw materials and lynching the competent industrial work force (For instance, expert Muslin weaver) the existence of Red Indian, Aboriginals of Australia, Negroes of Africa and the Muslim community in this subcontinent and different parts of the word was threatened. They, in various, regions were mass murdered (Aboriginals of Australia), even for the artificial food crisis (For instance, India ) huge numbers of peoples had to spare their lives.
It was the Nabab Sirajudaullah, whose defeat in 1757 by the handful soldiers of the British East India Company and its allied Hindu power elite from Bengal which stagnated the future of the local people made an extensive collision. The aftermath of the war was horrible, when looted Bengal treasury was reached in England a great deal of branches of the bank were opened over there which ultimately inspired the local entrepreneur to create industrial revolution and the failure to the French force to open the new colony the fancy French Revolution was committed in French. Is this analysis a cock and bull story? New historian may think about it.
After a long battle of the Muslim community of over 200 years, they, under the banner of Muslim League, the party was formed at Shah Bag in Dhaka, with a few little ideological backlashes regarding Islam , was able to established a ‘moth eaten Pakistan' . Yet they were marching towards the existence of the state. Unfortunately, the conspiracy grafted to dismantle the state was so tightly that was not understood by the local peoples. On the one hand, by the existing British and American forces in Pakistan , on the other hand, the hostility of the Hindu India – different political movements were organized under the guidance of leftist; it was really hard to trace then who supervised them. However, roll of the incident suggested that leftists were the production of the same group who tried to exploit under the colonialism for last two hundred years. Carl Marx, a Jew in faith, residence in England , adapted by Lenin in Russia was a new form of the lynching of Islam from the heart of the Asia .Bukhara , Samarkhand - jewels of the Islamic world were grasped by the new colonialist of Russia . When the mission of the Jew and Christian was ended and the USA, England strengthened their weaker arms – the balloons of the communism, ultimately aired by them was thrown and new Christian Georgia state set off on a journey and the security of Edward Sever Netge was taken by the USA company, but the quest for the Chechnya and other countries came off with the bullet and tanks. Is their any thing abnormal seen while the eyes are browsed over that chapter of the history?
Now it is high time to dig out what was the real motto of a Jew Carl Marx? Since a part of Bani Israelite were formed monkeys by the command of Allah that is described in the Quaran. Was that the reason Carl Marx adapted the theory of Darwin where he suggested that mankind was the result of evolution from the monkey. Wasn't the effort to glorify his cursed previous generation?
A Jew Jacob, Jain Maneksha and Sikh Jagjit Singh Aurora and Hindu leader Indiara Gandi and the then Christian American Ambassador called “Buthcher in Vietnam and Indonesia” Fernandez who played a successful game to paint their heinous black face in the history of Bangladesh in 1971 to bred the seeds of hatred and division among the Muslims with the plough of leftist, petty- bourgeois and now carrying on under NGOs against the persons who struggled to come across a new free state from the occupation of the English and their Hindu allied force and struggling till today ?
While a vested quarter starts the history of our country from 1952, we are to call up why do they completely bury the history since 1757-1947, even earlier of the stipulated period?
To find out the answer of the question and to make up the present conspiracy we must open our eyes since a conscious and alert administration and the people may carry on for the digging up the fact if the light is broken in to the dark room . The constant hassle with the rice, killing Bangladeshi in the boarder, conspiracy with the gas, electricity with the aid of fifth column in Bangladesh, non-diplomatic advocacy for the detachment of military, instability in the political, educational sector and patronization of the system driven corruption with the help of international agencies in Bangladesh – all secretes may be broken forth from the bush if our eyes are and shall be opened.
Breaking with the teaching of our Prophet, attenuation of the activity of intelligence of our own has made the politics of Bangladesh more complex. Our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM) said that the eyes unslept for checking the border of Islamic state is better than the eyes left unslept for the prayer.
Hence, shall we not be aware of when political, economical and cultural expansionism has fallen on our freedom in order to keep down the enemies who really wants to shatter the freedom of Bangladesh and to make a modern, progressive Islamic Bangladesh.
Rice crisis : Rice Politics
BM DESK , 21 March, 2008
The rice politics and the politics of the hike of the price have started again. The problem which is usually seen in the month of Ramadan is out flowed rest of the months. The comment of Tapan Chowdhury added a fuel to the crisis and his comment headed him to be resigned. In the following day of the resignation of Tapan Chowdhury, the comments of the adviser of the Ministry of Finance assured us that state has lot to be done and the Chief Adviser declared to pile huge of corns especially rice for the food safety. Within last few days the indexes of the market price of edible oil, rice, wheat, and sugar have been mounted . In addition, the former Secretary Dr.Akbar Ali commented that the country is experiencing ‘a silent famine'. Another economist Dr. Abul Barakat also tuned the same in a long table conference that ‘unfasten famine' was experienced by the countrymen and ‘corruption' had no longer been stopped, but had been increased. Apart from these international think tank, another two foreign guests: Kamal Darvish and Nagosi Iwoela repeated their concerns over the price of essential food stuffs. Kamal Darvish is the administrator of UNDP and Nagosi Iwoela is the Managing Director. We can not but to express our love and gratitude to these persons who have recently visited while lots of viruses of bird flue are blowing in the sky of Dhaka .
Regarding food, especially rice crises: the Indian authorities ban on importing rice is the virtual cause. If the demand is huge and no effort to have hoarding, it might be a chance to fall down the price. Unfortunately, rice is not coming into. Moreover, the internal domestic rice has not yet been procured. In such a moment, who is responsible to have the crisis? It is of course government. I am agreed with it. Who could satisfy India in such a moment? Is it Awami League? Is it BNP? To whom India would be pleased for exporting rice in Bangladesh ? As an independent country what else have we done a lot more harm to India that in a tragedy aftermath of CEDR and devastating flood we could not get rice while we had money to pay the cost? It is one of my dissatisfaction to India .
Even it is an insult to the independence of our country too. Secondly what is the hindrance to the Government to encourage to intake the other source of food? Recently World bank has advised us to intake potato, it is good indeed! it was the advice of President Ziaur Rahman ,unfortunately he has been assassinated by the Indian agents . From the comment of the World Bank we can conclude that those who did not want to be the province of India had showed the accurate path which may be followed undoubtedly. Regarding the hastiness of the Worl Bank: May I ask them a question: Why did they oppose while our after 1/11 Government took harsh action against the dishonest businessman who hoarded the essential commodities illegally. The newspapers of the last year may inscribe the fact.
Regarding the World Bank diplomacy many intellectuals are fed up also be found in the news papers of us. Even this demon had not able to save the African from feminine and other man made calamities. Many argue that the political government may save from this crisis. My question: which Government? Awami League? BNP? Jatiyo party? If this claim is true, then why did they countrymen experience lots of hartal? Why lots of peoples are bearing the injuries due to the political violence.
To sum , we understand why are we being punished ? It is clearly visble that the foreign culprits are dissatisfied with the trail of Sheikh Hasina and Khelda Zia . These are the ladies who could build the cars as they burnt in the streets. They did not do because they are the agents of the courtiers who are now busy enough to save them. If they are not punished for their notoriraity, the future political culture may not be changed and if the mechanism of checking the corruption is collapsed and effort to strengthen to local food production is ensured and nuclear powered strong country is set up, it may be hard to restore the independence of Bangladesh . Because – “Wife of a poor person is the sister-in-law of all.” We are not poor, we have been made poor .Mind it when the money of Sirajuddaullah reached England the surplus money was invested in the industrial research and later the industrial revolution was possible. The dalal or culprits or broker or agents who are undermining our country must be fallen down if we stand firmly inshallah
Bring the Nabab Sirajudaullah's turban jewel back
BM Desk ,8th Falgun ,1414 Bengali Year.
Nabab Sirajudaullah was the legendary figure in the political history of Bangladesh .He was the last independent Nabab of Bengal till the middle of 1757. After his defeat, apprehension and assasination following the combined conspiracy of a few Muslim power elite, major Hindu power elite and the English traders, East India Company, the Bengal area in particular and the whole subcontinent at large was went under the occupation of the English. Since then the fate of the Muslim community in the region plunged in to the tank of misery. Not only in the economical but also social, cultural and religious arena the dark cloud dampened the prospect. Since then we have been grazing the grass of western ethics, but the prosperity, progress has yet been achieved. The dependency on the neighboring community is the last trics that we are being proxy ruled by the British. Recent British PM's visit to Delhi clarified the nexus of previous formula.
In this circumstance, as an independent nation we may ask to the British Authority to get the turban Jewel back to Bangladesh . Recently the awareness regarding the sculptures in Bangladesh has made me convinced like the tune of the dialogue of Novel Laureate Dr.Yunus: “ We can do!”
RICE PRICE :result of DIVISION or SABOTAGE ?
BM desk ,7th January,2008
A.
Once in a lecture concerning South East politics in the department of Government and Politics in Jahangirnagar University , our teacher Dr. Dilara Chowdury decried his memoir about the marriage of his sister. So far I new she belongs to the north Bengal: when her sister was married with a bride belongs to the south Bengal, her grand father was repentant to his grand daughter as she was got married in a place far away to the North Bengal , in fact , across a big river like Padma . The issue waved in the mind of our madam as she was lecturing to the topic ‘nation building'. She briefed the overview of Malaysian development and the aspect of their nation building process. She portrayed the necessity to the nation building in order to strengthening the foundation of a state. Unfortunately, both the nation and state building, the index like proper understanding among the countrymen no matter what direction like top –bottom , bottom -top in the beaurocrcy and mass is frustratingly avails . In some part of Sylhet they are reluctant to marry their relatives with other areas of Bangladesh . This is one of the phenomenons -making the progress of Bangladesh in shaky.
B.
On going ‘rice politics' leaked the fact one again. Apart from the regional disintegration, the national, in a whole, might have the cause of the crisis. The remark of the comment of Tapan Chowdhury, it cleared us once again that the country is segregated. Notwithstanding anything intentional aimed by the adviser, it may be taken in to consideration in different manners. Once in a seminar he removed the debris hidden inside his heart by claming the central authority that north Bengal was always neglected for the question to the development. Is the crisis an out come of the frustration of Tapan Chowdhury?
We do not know but we guess: rest of the task depends on the national security and development concerning body. The Daily Jaijai din( www.jaijaidin.com ) , a Benagali daily, published from Dhaka at its 4 th January issue that the syndicate deal in rice trade earned nearly 900 crore taka for last ten days . If its estimation or anticipation is cognize, then it is really frustrating. The daily published another report which showed that Naoga, Sherpur ,Dinajpur ,Chapainababgonj and Kushtia supply 90% of total rice demand in the country. For the hoarding and syndicating by the mill owners and other middle men made this situation worsened. If the rice crises are the product of nepotism to the northern districts, then it might be a favor to local peoples, but it may breed another question whether it supports his eligibility to the post .If for the loosing of the idol of Bishnu , although it did by the civil aviation authority and the concerned Adviser required to resign , then for the conspiracy to the national interest the tune of Topon Chowdhury matches with certain quarter busy enough to lessen the extent of the Government , then we deem that he ought to do something further than resignation !
But we are concerned in keeping mind to other facts regards to the allegiance to the present Government as Mr. Tapan Chowdury took the oath for the fulfillment to the objectivity to the Present Government's agenda , his comment and management may be a subject to have comprehension thoroughly.
While India was always considering as a hostile neighbor, it was foolish to have dependency on other than this single source. It was one of the failures to Mr. Chowdhury.
In addition, we can not but deem the allegiance to the trail of former influential persons who had the inclination to the ambush firing at the government as such a form that created the unexpected situation at Dhaka University and the sensitive ‘ rice price ‘ issue .
To sum, if Bangladeshi politics has really a destine, then it is find out the cause and effect of these incidents. If the political sphere has really changed after 1/11 then, why does this bubble up: is it the division or sabotage?

Flood : our international tragedy
BM Desk , 1st September ,2007
Recent flood in Bangladesh is not only a tragedy to her but it is the tragedy to neighboring India also. Once Bangladesh was solitarily dignified as the flood burden country in the world; now, the curse; locketed around the neck of India , China , Africa even England and the United States of America . Most pathetic experience was gathered by England this year that had been worst affected by flood within last sixty years. In these circumstances, flood problem is required to be thought collectively, rather than solitary endeavor. Some expert argued for the climate change. Huge production of CFCs and being hot the ice berg near the Mount Everest and Polar region is melting rapidly and so the water is rising and causing flood.
Since it is a human tragedy, it is required to be checked by the improvement of our life styles and should storm our brain in order to sort out the ways .As per the assessment of Bangladesh Government during the meeting with LCG on 19 th August 2007, one crore five lacs, seventy thousand and one hundred forty five peoples have been affected by flood in Bangladesh. Moreover, five hundred and fifty four lives have been spared and seven lacs fifty fife thousand and forty seven acres of crop land have been affected and 2862 Kilo -meters of roads have been damaged. Furthermore, 510 educational institutions and 87 Kilometers of Dams have been damaged and 731 KMs of dams have been damaged partially. Flood destroyed 72 bridges and culverts completely; the numbers of partial damage are 1692. In this reality GOB begged 1050 crore taka to the aiding agency to recover the damage.
. Although the tragedy is tackled by the combined effort of all the forces including Bangladesh Military, yet it is required to investigate about the corruption for what the Sirajgonj town protection dam was not properly maintained. Thanks to Allah Dhaka City protection dam has been saving Dhaka for last years .We believe that Allah gives us troubles and in the same time He gives us the Knowledge to protect them from the natural calamities. Few days back I was watching a program on Holland 's effort to check flood in Discovery Channel. In order to make a sustainable protective measures GOB should be keen to resolve the problem aiding by the technical and scientific knowledge from the successful country in conjunction to the local know how. The proposals are as follow:
• In the winter season GOB should build the dam strongly accumulating the local people, if possible voluntarily.
• Dig out the silt and deep the lower level of the river bed and with the mud and silt heap the locality and height from the water level far away from the riverside.
• In order to preserve the rainy water dig out big pond, one the just ruler in Bangladesh like Khan Jahan ALi (RA) did .It would preserve the rainy water ,can be used in the dried season when water would be extremely needed.
• Please use the traditional and local knowledge and avoid the greed of foreign donation.
• Love the people and do not let the problem to be repeated again and again in order to grab the money in the name of flood.
• Bargain in the international forum about the negative affect of Farakkah and other dam built in India to cease water in the summer and push the water in the Rainy season.
I am confident if our leadership is patriotic and compassionate to Bangladeshi peoples, there should be a way to be originated to make free from this curse .May Allah help us.

The way we lost , the way we can reconstruct
BM Desk,1st September ,2007
A.
Prime Minister is the head of the Ministry. Prime Minster is selected by the parliament and Parliamentarians are elected by the people. This is the sum and substance of the democracy of Bangladesh . Alternatively, this could have been the President, head of the Ministry. He could direct the whole Ministry and the civil beaurocracy followed the direction of the President. Both of the systems had been enjoyed by Bangladesh .But could not stop the street violence, since the movement organizers wanted to established the rule of democracy: Government by the people, of the People and for the people. This statement was delivered by the American President Abraham Lincoln. He reached in fine after a long struggle to form a America while he had to face the many fold challenges like black-white race relation, economic growth, military strength and over all the existence of America keeping aside the civil war and de- unification of United America. Since then, generally after the second world war when the American civilization arose from the ash of the devastation of Europe through investing lots of money in order to rebuild the country by charging interest, the Lincoln statement have been started to be popular since a lot of USA sponsored brain -child began to dominate the politics , economy and Military. Their superiority heightened in such a stage that the state had to engage with a war with Vietnamese leftist.
Bangladesh , the then East Pakistan, with the approval of the West Pakistan made strategical relation with America . And so we had akin to democracy since then. Interestingly, the so called democracy was always colliding with the reality of the time and place. Was it the way that we walked incorrectly? Or was it the way that we walked correctly?
B.
Is the people's representative really friendly to people?
Since nomination business of the political parties became established, the interests of the peoples were often secured by the MPs. Moreover, most of them have been characteristically derailed; they preferred wine, women and money more than the sufferings of the peoples. Using legitimate power, they stretched out their hands to use illegitimate power and then the interests of the peoples were neglected. Both of the major political parties Awami League and BNP had been injected with the disease, recent confession of the leaders and investigation revealed the truth.
Why is not the beaurocracy more effective for the people?
Since the peoples' representatives come to recover the investment they are reluctant to make the beaurocracy accountable to the people, since their slogans themselves for the welfare to the people are nominal. Instead of it, they allow the beaurocracy or ‘the servants of the people' be the master of the people. Naturally the masters can kick, batter whatever they can, even they can sabotage with electricity, jute, sugar etc. The loss in the public corporations but inflations to the self accounts of the officers are none but for this cause. The sugar of Bangladesh Sugar Mills Corporation can not sell sugar fine sugar not less than 36 tk/kgs , at the same time two private company ‘IGLOO' and ‘FRESH' company is selling sugar to the wholesaler who are selling sugar 28-29 taka/ kgs in the retail outlet . Why the Government's sugar industries are up to the heads of the nation like the corpse. Why are not these factories closed or reformed and the responsible be brought under judicial trial? Few days ago a former beaurocrat Asafudaullah told in a ‘talk show' at ETV about the cause of the destruction of the jute sector since he was once the Secretary to the Jute Ministry . I noticed that he described about one political leader's patronizations about the workers leaders that helped to derail the sector. Even he was advocating about that beaurocrat's duty was not to run the jute mills. Later when another guy brought the statistics of the corruption of the different government officials and the involvement of India , and only then he brought the incident that while he was the secretary in the Jute Ministry a Turkish world bank official came to advocate about the future of Jute, and his 3 days of mysterious trip to Kolkata. Although ETV was not prepared to focus such a absolute true about the India 's plot, they were bound to do since this issue may be used a temporary tool to make the present government in trouble. Again I back to Ashfudaullah: what is the problem to run the jute factories of the beaurocrat. So far we know that they are the most talent in the state. This is the point which can proof that the beaurocracy failed in most cases to perform tusk. In reference to the state of Ashafudaullah I am to say then is it the duty of beaucrocracy to practice classical music leaving the Secretariat at 5o'clock leaving hundreds of pending files on the table when in the private sector less paid laborers dipped in the production line up to 10 o' clock , even the whole night?
Why does the business group make barrier to the supply of the essential goods to the people?
Businessmen are the subject to nation. Once Hazrat Ali (RA) directed to the Malik Ibne Astar , the Governor of Egypt to take care about them since they were the source of income to a state , on the other hand , he directed to be careful about them since they are wrenched by greed . And the advice is so burning that it is still applicable to the business class in Bangladesh too. A group of businessmen curtailed the market and tried to conduct monopoly business. MPs, Beaurocrats in Bangladesh had allowed them to nourish their greed .For instance, recently the RAJUK corruption was revealed which suggested that out of hundreds real estate company only 40 had the authorization. And with this gap they have killed Dhaka city. And all those had been possible as the RAJUK, DCC officials, engineers received huge amount of bribe. With the negligence of the production of vegetables oils, the country is dependent on Singapore for her edible oil. Has it not been done without the negligence of the department of Agriculture? If the country is become the colony of Singapore for the Soybean, onion for India ? In the same way it shall be the crime if the business class betray with the government in the case of domestic production. Recently the call for breaking the syndicate is the demand of the mass, since the domestic production is ultimately the breaking of syndicate, except to those manipulate the market who are easily be checked ,and of course , easier than those are totally relied on import , that has been done in the case of soybean, chick peas, onion, rice , wheat .
Why do different countries rely on NGOs?
Recently when half of the country was under the flood, there was a call from the government that every body no matter what the organizations,the relief would be centrally coordinated . And then a certain quarter showed their reaction, but with the government level coordination with the assistance of our Military, there was no major problem in the flod affected areas. Most of the peoples were satisfied and that was better than any previous attempts. However some countries always advocated for the NGOs other than the Military or the government it self. What might the cause for it. The government they could not believe, interestingly, when they have been charged for corruption, it is the same quarter that created pressure the present government for their release. Hence, the reality is in the different location. NGO is mainly motivated to make a parallel government ultimately lead the country in to colonization. Most of the NGOs played as pressure group in order to implement the policy those ultimately planned to be imposed their blue print. Different studies showed this assumption .

Teaching of Palashi
BM DESK:
The event of Palashi that happened on 23 June, 1757 AD in the history of Bengal was discussed in different angles in order to get lesson as it totally changed the fate and fortune of the inhabitants of the region: the Muslims. Lots of books, dramas, and songs were composed based on Palashi. Historians also explained the event as per the findings. Our assessments are follows: 1. Pre and post era of the Palasi was dominated by the power elites belonged to Hindu community in preference from the local and the English traders –East India Company from outside weaved covert and overt operations resulted to fall the Muslim Dynasty in Murshidabad. 2. The remained few Muslim power elites became blind, greedy, and dependent on Hindu and English traders to weave their fortunes for the throne of Murshidabad, but they had the mission to kick out the so-called ‘Mohammedans' from the executive body of Murshidabad , the revolt which was first staged at karnatak by encouraging and assisting Hindus against Mir Jumla's authority .( History of the Muslims of Bengal, by Muhammad Mohar Ali, pp. 507) 3. The Hindu and English power elites became united as they had historical hostility with the Muslims. Since Islamic laws were the source of legislature and Islam became the dominant ideology far away to Arab during that time, they were never pleased with any Muslim rulers. Previously they weaved different conspiracy, for instance, forming Din-e- Elahi by influencing Akbar, marrying Hindu girls with the Princes and Emperors, and introducing wine among the prince by the English. The defeated idolaters (Hindu) and disobeyed fellows of Isa (As) [Jesus Christ] (English) [since Isa As. advised his fellows to follow the Prophet Muhammad after his disappearance, but they denied and directly confronted with Hazart Muhammad (SM)] .What was the strategy to final fall of Siraz in Palashi.
A. Forming a parallel capitalist VIP class:
It is traditionally believed that the executive body maintains the financial matters and so they have the capacity to command the fellow citizens, as they are bind to the state. Except, if the same capital is gained by some peoples by means of business and if they are able to attain certain amount of money with that they can influence the politics, such as the price of the commodities, the fund for public welfare and to maintain the expenses of the reserve Military force, they may ultimately grab the politics of that country. This happened during that time. The English traders had conducted lucrative business last one hundred years before the event of 1757 although Shaista Khan was conscious about their trends and so he had to confront the disobeyed English traders on 28 October 1686 and the middle of 1687 by Mughal faujdar ‘Abd al- Ghani, and Abd al-Samad, a Mughal general respectively . Since the time of Shaista Khan, English traders tried to do custom free business to barren the state reserve of Nababs and to use the money aftermath to capsize these Nababs. According to Sushil Chowdhury (1975) in Trade and Commercial Organization in Bengal, 1650-1720 , Om Prakash in The European Trading Companies and the Merchants of Bengal, Indian Economic and Social History Review ,vol.1, No.3, 1964 pp. 1-27 and S. Bhattacharya(1954) in The East India Company and the Economy of Bengal that at the end of 16 th century and the first phase of eighteenth century different Europeans agencies invested a lot of capital in this country . In this situation a tremendous change in the economy in Bengal that created a capitalist class, most of them belonged to Hindu community. According to Brijen k. Gupta (1966), in his Sirajuddaullah and the East India Company and M.M Ali (1975) in The Fall of Sirajuddaullah, .pp.9 that these capitalist Hindu class later established the Hindu nationalism and aiding factor to fall the Muslim Rule in Bengal . Among them Gogot sheth brothers, Mohtab Roy, Raja Jankiram, Raja Ram Narayan, Raja Manik Chand, Chedan Hajari, Boktiar Singh etc . In 1756, Sirajuddaullah demanded that misusing ‘dastak' East India Company had evaded tariff for last forty years amounted by more than 1,875,000 pounds. All these evaded tariffs were used later to make plot for toppling Siraj.
B. Division among Muslim power elites:
During the era of Sirajuddaullah, the divisions among the Muslim power elites were clear. While Murshid Kuli Khan was on the bed of death (he died in 1727), he appointed Sarfaraz Khan, the son of his daughter, as his successor. However, the Hindu power elites opposed and supported the daughter's husband and father of Sarfaraz Khan, Sujauddin .Later by the support of Hindu power elite Sujauddin toppled his son from the power and ruled from 1727 to 1739. After his death, Sarfaraz was appointed as per his father's approval. He was again toppled by anti Sarfarz Khan in the following year and in the year 1740 Ali Bordi Khan was enthroned. Later anti Ali Bordi group like Gogot sheth brothers, Mohtab Roy, Raja Jankiram, Raja Ram Narayan, Raja Manik Chand, Chedan Hajari, Boktiar Singh, Sardar Khan, Shamser Khan opposed Ali Bordi Khan. Later after the death of Ali Bordi Khan on 10 April in 1756 Sirajuddaullah was enthroned. Within one year, by the division of Muslim power elite influenced by Hindu and English group Siraj had to face war, and unfortunate war, which turned our history.
C. Intelligence failure:
Intelligence support for an Islamic state is very important. According to the teaching of our Prophet Muhammad (SM ) Talia force or intelligence in military is encouraged and our Prophet used intelligence both in war and peace time. In the lifetime of our Prophet Muhammad(SM), using intelligence force, he was success to reduce the causalities in the war and during peacetime, they gathered different information in order to make appropriate decision to check internal and external conspiracy against the Islamic state. In present different states belonged to different religious state are following the teaching of our prophet. Unfortunately, at the day of Palashi war in 23 June 1757, a big intelligence failure was seen although Sirajudaullah tried his best to do for the country. According to the historical source, it is known that Siraj attacked Calcutta on 16 June 1756 with thirty thousand soldiers against 250 British soldiers and one thousand Indian soldiers to check the arrogant behavior of Governor Drake .In this war Calcutta was fallen to Siraj and for the death of more than hundred wounded European soldiers died in the following day made a fabricated story by Holwel that is called ‘ Holwell's dark well massacre'. Most of the historians proved its ingenuinity, yet this killing was used as the propaganda tool against Sirajudaullah. Although Siraj was successful to check this time, his intelligence failed to provide the exact information in the field of Palashi just after one year. The intelligence failed to track the plot of Jogot Sheth family once they were Minister of Ali Bordi Khan about the conspiracy to stage a fake war in the field of Palashi. They choose as a Muslim figure to hide their role in the history, Yar Khan Latif was chosen initially, and Mir Zafar Ali Khan was chosen later in Calcutta Council. From Military Roy Durlov Khan, Mirza Amir Beg and Khadem Hossein Khan etc were (See Brijen K Gupta ,1966, pp.118) chosen to make a plot . On 4 June 1757, there was 6-point agreement to stage so called ‘a revolution' against the Nabab. If Siraj could gather the information, he could grab a right decision and could avoid a defeat. On 23 rd, June Nabab Sirajudaullah had 15000 horse-ridden soldiers, 34000 soldiers, elephant, and 40 canons on the other hand Clive had 3200 Europeans, local soldiers and 8 canons .Unfortunately, with the sign of Mir Zafar all the soldiers of Nabab stayed unmoved and could not fight for him. It is the clear intelligence failure of Nabab Sirajuddaulah. Most of the soldiers might have no knowledge about the conspiracy of some high officials' .Even Nabab Sirajudaullah had little disobedience of the soldiers since just one year ago a huge numbers of soldiers fought for Nabab and won. He was even unaware about the Jogot Sheth family who financed to purchase the officers of Sirajudaulah. He should have known that a hypocrite Mir Zafar Ali Khan used to drink the water washed of the legs of Hindu Kritishori goddess.(see Abbas Ali Khan , Banglar Muslmander Ithihash ,1994, pp.61) If this could be the character of a figure how ferocious task he should have done. The strong intelligence support assisted to check the opponents of Saishta Khan and so he was able to deliver a prosperous Bangladesh during his era.
D. Ignorance to the Common Muslim:
Although the historians had little penetration about the change of capital from Dhaka to Murshidbad, we can say that Siraj had last option to face east to gain his lost emperor .When he fled Murshidabad he firstly tried to go to his so called loyal Ram Narayan force in Bihar later came towards present Bangladesh, although, he was arrested on the way a was killed in Murshidabad on 2 nd July 1757. He planned to re-attack organizing Bangladeshis. Although he failed to do it in his lifetime, history is the witness that this Bangladesh financed most of the wars staged in the south India against the expansion of English. (See Sirajul Islam, History of Bengal: structure of colonial Administration , 1984, pp. 36) During the lifetime of Nabab, the power was concentrated to the power elites only; the very general peoples were hardly accumulated to check any conspiracy of the external force. Fortunately, it was not done later. Later when Shephi mutiny in 1857 failed the Bengali general Muslim contributed different movement to liberate the area from the claw of English force. According to the article M.A.Jaman in his article Ohabi Movement to the Monthly Mohammadi [31st Year, 2nd Issue, Agrohayon, 1366 Bangla year] , “ … it is mentionable that even at the critical situation the Muslims of Bengal assisted to their Muslim brothers of Punjab and border adjacent areas…” “Mawlovi Abdullah, son of Mowlovi Belaet Ali was the hero of the war of border. From the Maldha trail in 1870 it is known that Bengali volunteers were sent to his custody. He trained them different tactics of war. Once at the Sittana centre the Bengali volunteers were 900.” This information provides that the general Muslims can contribute to safe guard the independence if they are guided properly. Since during the time of Siraj - monarchism was prevailed as like as the model of Umaia Khelfat who abolished Mojlis –e-Sura, and made baitul mal (Government treasury) as part of the propert of Ummaya amir- far detached system of the Hazrat Muhammad (SM) made Shiraj hard to tackle the deep-rooted conspiracy . If the peoples were prepared for the any out break, they could take any parallel stunt and the Military who became barren with the single order of the English later could be tackled if the soldiers could be prepared to face the situation. Not all these were done as the whole politics of Murshidabad palace was cultured by a group of conspirators.
To sum, the event of 1757 has given us much lessons, which is still applicable to safe guard the independence of Bangladesh .

BEAUROCRAT'S INTELLECT:ELECTRICITY & SUGAR SALE
BM Desk , 4 July 2007 :
While the former ministers have been imprisoned for the corruption and mismanagement charges, the spectators commented that what should be the fate of the beaurocrats who assisted the ministers to bundle the money in their pockets. It is really a difficult question whether the ministers provoked to lead the beaucrocrats in to corruption or beaurocrats lead the ministers in to corruption, it is a topic-required research. However, roughly it is easily say for the elected government having two third majorities had the strength to beat the ‘servant of the people'. The ministers colored the servant of the people and so they have been misguided. Minister's final signature made the realization of the respective policy of the ministry. In this situation, whether the policy is pro-country or anti- country depend on the individuality of the policy. To day I shall discuss two issues caught the attention of the different quarters. One of them is the policy of electricity and juggling of the sugar mill's sugar sale. The second was so interesting that any retailer or business knowledgeable person can comment about the fun with the sugar.
A.
First, I shall discuss about the electricity policy. We know electricity is one of the most important lifelines for the economy in present time. Unless electricity total modern economic infrastructure must collapse within a blink of an eye. In supply to the electricity one of the most important source of electricity in Bangladesh is Kaptai hydroelectricity project .Once it was so lucrative that Indian army fought with Rakhi bahini against the local protesters so that the supply of the electricity may be undisturbed .At that time India's interest was to supply this electricity to her seven sisters provinces. It was the incident after 1973 during Mujibur Rahman regime. Then Maulna Vasani's ‘Hak katha' published different reports regard to the involvement of the Indian involvement. That era has gone. Electricity did not make any botheration for last following twenty years. In 1995, after the inception of Awami League to the power, they first roared for the importation of electricity from India .This demand was so ferocious, that everybody forgot that we should have any problem in Bangladesh !! Later the then opponent came in the street to abandon Awami League to take its policy .Later the 4- party alliance government came in to power in 2001 and concentrated in this sector. Unfortunately then the ‘ Nigeria looting elements' made a plot to barren our natural resources: gas and coal in order to solve the electricity crisis. Instead of strengthening our historical and viable Kaptai hydro-electricity project and mismanagement, they invested to burn our natural gas and coal to produce electricity. Recently a news might not struck some, however, I could not overlook .On 5 th July ,2007 a news published in the daily Prothom alo that PDB had decided to import one and half tons of coal from India to run Boro Pukuria electricity project. The report revealed that for the accident the coal mine had been out of service for last two years .As a result the required coal could not be supplied to the main electricity project .Where it was viable to purchase coal 50 dolor per ton , the same coal was settled to be purchased by 170 dolor per ton. It is one of the dark side of the project shall never keep our electricity project safe .Moreover; it was strange how can a coal project be out of service for two years! In the case of gas driven project it is known that in the year 2003 -2004 million CFT gas was used by the Bangladesh Electricity Development Board . In addition 46.021 million gallon of Farnes oil and 25.152 million HSD,SKO and LDO were used to generate electricity . In the year 2003-2004, 12583 million Kilo-watt-hour electricity was generated by the government sector; 7478 million kilo-watt-hour was generated by the private sector. Net production was 20061-kilowatt hour was generated in the projected year. Among the total production, Government's production was 62.73% and 37.27% by the private sector. Out of total electricity production 88.90% is generated by gas, 3.99% hydro based production and 7.11 % oil based production . To generate this 88.9% gas driven project we had to invest lots of money to set up infrastructures . Water is reversible and we have many gallons of water are flown every year from our area. The Kaptai area is still viable and so we should strengthen that establishment. If we could save 134482 million CFT gas (for 2003-2004) we could use for it for our household fule for the subsequent years. Unfortunately this farsighted policy is ignored by our policy makers .If our gas reserve is finished is there any preparation? Answer no. Ultimately, we have to import electricity from third country from India Burma . The farsighted step that our fore generation took to stop importing electricity from India shall have to drink the same poison again that
B .
In the case for Sugar we have witnessed a childish manner or crooked manner by the authority of sugar mills. They said that their sugar was stock piled in the store and they could not sell the sugar and all are rotten. When this news was published, we had to believe. But any business man shall give the answer that it would better to sell the sugar not letting them rotten and with this money check the massive loss and pay the suppliers. In addition, it is very easy to understand that when unnecessary expenditure is added the net profit is reduced .It was better to find out the unnecessary expenditure affecting the price of the sugar . Unfortunately, it was not done. And in this way these crocodiles are devouring all our prospect even after 1/11. The politicians, beaurocrats drive country's main policy. In this situation, when the Politicians are silent what is the wrong to beaucrocrats to take the patriotic decision. Recently a news in the Daily Amader Shomoy( 17 th June ,2007 www. amadershomoy.com ) appeared containing a list of corrupted beaurocrats: the combined forced had made a list of 806 beaurocrats for the involvement of corruption . 50 beaurocrats from Customs, 28 from Tax ,26 from Road and High ways, 41 from Electricity Departemnt, 24 from Banking , 29 from Water development, 11 from BTRC , 9 from Rural electrification board , 8 from WASA , 17 from RAJUK, 18 from DCC, 21 from Ministry of Establishment, 8 from Biman, 17 from Civil aviation , 22 from Education ministry and department, 19 from Railway, 16 from BRTC and BRTA ,17 from BIWTA and BIWTC , 28 from Chittagong port authority, 6 from shipping Corporation, 17 Bangladesh Television and Betar , 6 from MInstry of communication, 24 sub register, 34 from Forestry department , 31 from Food department ,16 from Ministry of relief and rehabilitation , 9 from Public Service Comission,19 from Finance Ministry, and 8 from Commerce Ministry. Using the power they have earned lots of illegal money, the sources added. So our loot culture was simultaneously enjoyed by the politicians and beaurocrats .
Therefore, they were all united in the case of safeguard their interest .Whatever the ‘beaurocrat's revolt' is nothing but to make them safe. We want to be set free from these organized criminals .

Roots of corruption,burglary and terrorism in the sub-continent
BM research,6 June , 2007 :
Corruption is widely discussed in Bangladesh as it is mentioned the main hindrance for the Bangladeshi development. In the last years, mainly with report of Transparency International of Bangladesh, a European organization, the corruption became the hard topic .Since the poverty was not reducing, on the other hand, wealth circuited among the wealthy persons, the concerned group in Bangladesh started to think about the cause of the problem.. In part of that effort, I tried to extract the fact why the corruption widely spreaded in the subcontinent basically in present Bangladesh .
Since the legacy of history is responsible for the corruption it can be divided few periods to weigh up the level of corruption.There are:
- Mughal Period .
- English Period.
- Pakistan Period.
- Bangladesh period
1. Mughal Period:
While the English gained their power to influence the politics in this region, Shaista Khan ruled Bengal area; he was the maternal uncle of Aurongzeb. He was very intelligent and resisted the English conspiracy commonly conducted through Business and commerce channel. He had to arrange war against English in order to halt their conspiracy; even he smashed the backbone of terrorist of Firingi and Mog who conducted slave trade in the region. They abducted the innocent male female and children and tortured, sold and terrorized the region. Shaista Khan with the aid of Aurongzeb punished them with the military and the region was fred from their heinous activities. Later when he went and replaced by the son of Aurongzeb Muhammad Azam, a record of corruption painted in the history of Bengal . And who introduced: that was English. After many crossroads, the English attained the permission to do business in Bengal area at the second half of the 16 th century. The English set up khuti in 1668 in Dhaka and 1698 in Kolkata .That permission was called ‘Dastak' in history .Misusing with the Dastak the English introduced many types of corruption in the area which made a great impact over the local Economy. The main l;ocal aide of the corruption was Hindu community which was mentioned in the MN Roy quoted in Dr.Qazi Abdul Mannan (1969) pp. 28 , “ It is a historical fact that a very large section of the Hindu Community welcomed the advent of the English Power .”
According to N.K Sinha quoted in Mannan (1969) pp. 28 : Umi Chand, Gopinath Sheth, Ramkrisna Sheth, Shovaram Bosak, Lokhikantha became famous for the collaboration with the Company.
According to Abbas Ali Khan (1994) it is mentioned that: “After Shaista Khan Fida Khan and the son of Emperor Aurogzeb, Prince Muhammad Azam became the subadar of Bengal . In 1678, when Azam appointed as the Subadar the English bribed him twenty one thousand taka to attain the vested interest .”
The conspiracy with the aid of English was welcomed by a vested business class who was basically Hindu and who was greed of wealth and ultimately power as the political power maximizes the wealth if the state mechanism is handled properly. In part of that mission, in the court of Murshid kuli khan the Hindus became the factor with the covert aid of the English .The Historical sources said that in 1727, after the death of Murshidkuli Khan the Hindus power elite resisted Sharfarz Khan, since in that situation he was not considered as the favorable person to them .They enthroned his father Sujauddin and during that time the palace - conspiracy roared in a peak. The legacy crippled up to the fall of Sirazudaullah. During that time the corruption in the palace rocketed, even the mother of Sirajudaullah began opium trade with English. According to Khan (1994) pp. 87 the East Indian Company Commander Lord Clive bribed the Chief Of Army of Sirajudaullah Nando Kumar ten to twelve thousand taka as set out the condition that if the English attacked Chandonnagar then it was to assist French .In the same way, if French attacked the English they had to assist the English. Clive grasped head of the Intelligence under his claw paying bribe/inducement. The ancient Bramin Pundit Chanakka suggested controlling the opponent by paying bribe which he mentioned Dum.
Lack of commitment to people's welfare, corruption to the beauracracy and military ,besides , Hindu power elite's corruption and conspiracy assisted to mislay the independence of Bengal .
2. English Era:
The English era fully plugged up the Islamic values which assisted the pulse of the region in a slower bit during the last phase of pre English era. To drag out the wealth from the region the English began to introduce the era of ‘terrorism, corruption and nepotism' In 1757, on the palashi field the then Nabab Sirajudaullah was defeated with the conspiracy of the collaborator and conspirators who was organized for the time being with the assistance of the English traders East India Company. In the field of Palashi the majority Military was silent and acted in favor of British was vanished after conquering the power. Basically in that time the power was vested to the power elite in the palace of Murshidabad . Any organized social force viz. Ulema or common Muslims were not nourished by the power elite which helped to fall the Siraz era. The establishments by the rule of English are as follows:
• The inception of the bribe culture in the politics.
• Massive divide among the citizens in the country.
• The inception of politics of robbery, burglary, poverty, disease, feminine, exploitation with the introduction of Roman law.
• The inception of the bribe culture in the politics:
After the fall of Bengal in the hand of East India Company , bribe culture became widespread .To pacify the new ruling elite , the local greedy interest group had to pay huge amount of bribe in order to make place in the politics . Between 1757 to 1765 the company and its local employees earned 62, 61,165 pounds which was clearly bribe or inducement. According to Misra quoted in Khan (1994) pp. 95 there was three crore eighty lac pounds (Sixty crore taka) (equivalent to 1900 the amount was 300 crore taka) was smuggled to England by the British .This taka was gathered through bribe, tricks and in different ways. According to N.K.Sinha quoted in Dr.Kazi Abdul Mannan (1969) it was mentioned , between 1757 to 1766 the English collected inducement /bribe from the local pepole which was equivalent to five crore taka. According to Brijen k. Gupta cited in Sirajul Islam(1984) pp. 32 the politics to rapid change of Nabab between 1758-65, the company employees acted as the lobby / middle man / channel /Tadbirkari and received bribe / inducement from the Nabab which was 14502566 pounds/ thirteen crore taka.

EAST- FACE POLICY : A far sighted policy for Bangladesh
BM desk ,2 May ,2007:
Bangladesh is a land locked country by India by three sides except the Bay of Bengal in the south and small land border with Myanmer . However, there plan for linkage with Mynmer from Cox's Bazaar border. Recently the CG of Bangladesh announced the plan to develop 25 Km road with Mynmer to maximize the opportunity to do economic and cultural relation with her . It is known that Burma is one sense isolated from the rest of the world for last years .But they are interested to make relation with us which is the positive aspect of our diplomacy .
Those who have the knowledge of history knows that the last Mughal Emperor Bahdur Shah Jaffar was exiled in Burma by the English and he died there also .As a result Burma always attracted us .In addition, during the 1800s and 1900s Burma was one of the key location of the subcontinent and the Dauludia Ghat at Rajbari and Chandpur became the one of the busiest river port in Bangladesh for the barma bound passengers . Later when Dhaka became the capital of the province after the independence from India in 1947, the flow turned away and all roads leads towards Dhaka .
Now it is the demands of time to be faced to the East since this tie make us beneficiary both politically and economically. This road can be used to transport our goods to Burma , Thailand , and Vietnam and in the same way their goods would be arrived through the way. China can be benefited with the route as this may open the roads to carry their goods to Bangladesh and Chittagong port. Lots of peoples around the region would be directly benefited with the plan. Besides, a huge amount of Bangladeshi workers are working in Thailand and Malaysia may use this land route.
It is historically proven that India's master attitude made us in trouble .The Farrakh dam, killing Bangladeshi in the borders , patronizing to the destabilize in Hill tracts made suspicious with the country .In this situation the East face policy may bring the prospect of our country .
So we must confess that it is a far sighted foreign policy indeed.

GOB's e-citizen service: urgent,but....
BM Desk,8 May,2007:
Bangladesh Government seems to be liberal to take the assistance /dole from other country. UNDP is one of the organs of the United Nations - very active to help Bangladesh Government to make the country developed. In part of their initiative the same UNDP funded to implement the voter ID which shall be distributed to the foreign expert and company, whereas, the local BUET experts or the Bangladesh Military wished to finish the photo ID were mysteriously ignored .The powerful international body UN had little contribution to minimize the degree of mismanagement and corruption many claims that their policy leads Bangladesh dependent to them. Many anticipate that the National photo ID program may save nearly one lac and thirty thousand illegal foreigners wheras Military is loyal to safeguard the territory of Bangladesh .
To day I want to turn back to the issue of e-citizen program of the GOB as part of the office of the Prime Minister .The GOB sought help form Canada, USA and other European countries to develop e-governance concept .The initiative is very nice, but we are upset for while the GOB avoided the local experts and entertained the foreigners .We do not exactly know whether it becomes the mania of the GOB to rush to the foreigner expert. Why is the beauracrcy harboring this trend? Is it the effort to detach the mass from the state?
