Bangladesh: Coup??

[Md Akmal]

To this if you add the figures for 2000, you will see that under BNP the GDP per capita rate was slower than under the AL govt. post 2008.

And this is despite the fact that BNP was ruling during the BOOM years of early 200 and AL had to manage with the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. Economy wise, you have to hand it to AL, atleast in per capita growth for doing well.

Atleast this what the data bears out.

@ O ! I see you are Indians !!!!!! Hasina lover's boy.

Not really, I am just making a statement based on the facts of GDP per capita growth rates. I would prefer you stop with ad hominem attacks and discuss the point made. Because otherwise you just look like an idiot.

@ " Ham idiot nahi tum hare bap ke bap hai ".

@ It had been seen that whenever AL comes to power it remains isolated from the world. During the time of Sk Mujib it was isolated from muslim world, only few muslim countries maintain a good relations like Eygpt and Turkey. However, around 25 to 30 Socialist countries supported them. But what these Socialist countries under the leadership USSR could give to Bangladesh. The western block countries also remained idle for the development of Bangladesh.

@ During the second tenure once AL under the leadership of Hasina came to power, our economy again started deteriorating and country was at the verge of collapse.

@ Now AL has come to power again with all the false promises and at the back of her is another great fraudulent country having no base.

The Mediterranean Peoples - Dravidians (Write-up by Dr A Desai)


The Mediterranean Peoples - Dravidians (Write-up by Dr A Desai)

The Mediterranean Peoples (Dravidians)
(Extracts from ‘The Original Indians â€" An Enquiry’ by Dr. A. Desai)
How the Mediterranean people came to be called Dravidians makes interesting story. The Pre-Hellenistic Lycians of Asi Minor, who where probably the Mediterranean stock called themselves Trimmili. Another tribe of this branch in the island of Crete was known by the name Dr(a)mil or Dr(a)miz. In ancient Sanskrit writings we find the terms Dramili and Dravidi, and then Dravida which referred to the southern portion of India.
South India was known to the ancient Greek and Roman geographers as Damirica or Limurike. Periplus Maris Erithroei (Periplus of the Eritrean Sea) in the second or third century AD described the maritime route followed by Greek ships sailing to the South Indian ports: “Then follow Naoura and Tundis, the first marts of Limurike and after these Mouziris and Nelkunda, the seats of government.”
Dramila, Dravida and Damirica indicated the territory. Then it was applied to the people living in the territory and the language they spoke, in the local parlance Tamil and Tamil Nadu or Tamilakam.

-----------------------
The Mediterraneans or Dravidians were associated with the ancient Sumerian civilizations of Mesopotamia and of Elam (southern Iran). Authors have pointed out ethnic, linguistic and cultural affinities between the Sumerians (Mesopotamians) and the Dravidians of South India, and concluded that both probably belonged to the same ethnic stock. HR Hall writes: “The ethnic type of the Sumerians, so strongly marked in their statues and relofs was as different from those of the races which surrounded them as was their language from those of the Semites, Aryans and others; they were decidedly Indian in type. The face-type of the average Indian today is no doubt much the same as that of the Dravidian race ancestors thousands of years ago...And it is to this Dravidian ethnic type of India that the ancient Sumerian bears most resemblance, so far as we can judge from his monuments. He was very like a Southern Hindu of the Deccan (who still speaks Dravidian languages). And it is by no means improbable that the Sumerians were an Indian tribe which passed, certainly by land, perhaps also by sea, through Persia to the valley of the Two Rivers.”
Hall is of the opinion that Dravidian people must have migrated to Mesopotamia from India, whereas others think Dravidians came from Mediterranean regions, which was their earlier home. KP Padmanabha Menon writes about their close relationship: “Orientalists, many of them, are prepared to concede that the Sumerians, the Mediterranean race, are branches of the early Dravidians.”
The Dravidians settled down the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu in large numbers and they developed the art of navigation which enabled them to carry on trade with Sumer, Babylon and Egypt. Ur was the sea post of Babylon and the capital of the Sumerian kings. South Indian teak wood was found in the ruins of Ur of IV millennium BC.
The word “Ur” itself is the Tamil-Malayalam equivalent signifying a town or village, which is often affixed to names of places in the South, like, Tanjavur, Perumanur, Ollur, Kadungallur etc.
We shall quote, in this regard Will Durant, the author of “The Story of Civilization”. He writes: “Farther South of the land was occupied by the dark-skinned, broad-nosed people whom, without knowing the origin of the word, we call Dravidians. They were already a civilized people when the Aryans broke down upon them; their adventurous merchants sailed the sea even to Sumeria and Babylon, and their cities know many refinements and luxuries.’
Seals, beads and other objects of Harappan pattern dating back to 2500 BC have been discovered in Ur, and other parts of Sumer and Mesopotamia which establish the close contact and affinity between these peoples.
There was commercial intercourse between South India and Egypt from IV or III millennium BC. Spices and perhaps grains and were exported to Egypt. Greek physician Dioscorides (40-90 AD) in his materia medica mentions cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, turmeric etc. as possessing medicinal effects. It is interesting to note that the Greek word for ginger “Zinciber”, is similar to the Tamil-Malayalam ‘inchiveru’ (root of ‘inchi’ = ginger); Greek word for rice is likewise, Oryzi, derived from Tamil ‘Arisi’.
According to one view, the Dravidians were of Semitic origin. Several common cultural and anthropological features are pointed out in support of this opinion. Whether they were of the same original stock or not, it is clear from their linguistic affinity that they were closely related for a long period of time. Aramaic was once the international language of diplomacy used by the Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian kings. Edicts of Asoka in Aramaic have been excavated from Taxila and Afghanistan which indicate that Aramaic-speaking people lived in that part of the empire.
A few examples may be cited to show the striking similarity of some words in Tamil and Aramaic used in every day life:




English

Aramaic

Tamil

Malayalam


Mother

aemma

amma

amma


Father

Aba

appa

appan


I

aenna

nan

njan


Much, great

rabba

rampa

rampam

Read that carefully. You will find the correlation between the Dravidian and the Mediterranean people. We are Dravidian, protester against the Cruel Aryan cluster. We must put all the Aryan cluster and their stooges to their rightful place. It is the battle of the chronicle since the ancient time. We must crush all the aggressions of the Aryan Demon cluster.

Bangladesh coup bid or conspiracy?
Posted on January 28, 2012
By Kuldip Nayar

As the dust over an attempted coup or conspiracy in Bangladesh settles, it is confirmed that the Indian intelligence agencies warned army top brass in Dhaka about the conspiracy hatched against the Shaikh Hasina government. On this occasion, the Bangladesh army acted in time and nipped the defiance in the bud.

In 1975 too when Bangabandhu Shaikh Mujibur Rehman and 15 of his family members were killed by the army, Indian intelligence had warned about an attack on Shaikh Mujib. But then the top brass were themselves in the midst of coup and the army deliberately did not act. The result is known to all.

That the Bangladesh army is not interested in taking over the country was clear when it gave back power to the civil authority in 2008 and held free and fair elections which returned Shaikh Hasina with a three-fourths majority in parliament. When the army was backing the caretaker government and cleansing the stable, it found the top politicians of both Shaikh Hasina’s Awami League and Khaleda Zia’s Nationalist Bangladesh Party involved in corruption. Many in the army were worried that the revival of the political process would bring in its wake the same old graft. Yet the army preferred civil rule and bowed to the prerogative of the people to have their representatives in power.

Things are not what the electorate expected and the administration has been found wanting in many ways respects. Corruption and nepotism are back with a vengeance. Yet it is the people who have to fight against such evils. The army cannot do the job because this is the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Disgruntled elements

“Instigated by some non-resident Bangladeshis, a band of fanatic retired and serving officers led a failed attempt to thwart the democratic system by creating anarchy in the army, banking on others’ religious zeal,” said the army statement, adding that “such heinous attempts are being foiled.”

It is apparent that the coup was attempted by a few elements representing religious fanaticism and disgruntled army officers. The fundamentalists are unhappy because they have been firmly suppressed by the Hasina government which is liberal and secular. Yet there are other forces which are inimical to India and they resort to all kinds of methods to foul the atmosphere. That was also the case when Shaikh Mujib was killed. He too did not show any quarter to the extremists and the forces that were unhappy over the creation of Bangladesh.

Shaikh Hasina has regretted that the Islamists have penetrated the army. It is ominous because this is what has happened in Pakistan as well.

My information is that the coup leaders this time were helped by forces operating from India. The rump of United Liberation Front of Asom was there and so were the hostile Nagas. The Manipur insurgents were also part of the conspiracy. It is strange that while Bangladesh does not allow any anti-India forces to operate from its soil, as it used to happen in the past, India is lethargic and inactive.

For the larger picture, New Delhi must share the blame. It fails to have connectivity with Dhaka. Promises made in the fields of trade, power and business have remained unfulfilled. Shaikh Hasina has done so much unilaterally to foster good relations that there are many people in Bangladesh who are resentful. Yet bureaucrats in Delhi are not allowing the implementation of what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had signed with the Bangladesh prime minister in terms of trade, power and money. Bureaucrats are not anti-Bangladesh but they represent the red tape which retards progress of any plan or project.

I recall when Bangladesh broke away from Pakistan, Delhi made a five-year plan which would dovetail Dhaka’s economic projects with those of India. It was an undertaking to develop the region as a whole. New Delhi was reminded often but there was little follow-up.

The failed coup is not only a warning but also an opportunity for the government in New Delhi. It must take some bold steps quickly to let the people disillusioned in Bangladesh with Shaikh Hasina’s government know that India r will go to any limit to help Bangladesh in its needs and, at the same time, foster closer relations with Dhaka.

Singh transferred a few tracts of land in Assam to Bangladesh, its rightful owner. He should bring the constitutional amendment in the next session of parliament to make what is de facto as de jure. The BJP and some elements in Assam are opposed to the transfer. But they must realise that this is the territory which belongs to Bangladesh and has stayed wrongly with India for some 40 years. One recurring complaint of Dhaka is that border police is cruel to any Bangladesh national who even strays into India by mistake. Television channels have shown recently how the border police was beating a boy mercilessly because he had crossed the border by mistake.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would be well advised to visit Bangladesh where she is popular and where the expectation is that she would make amends for her absence from the Prime Minister’s team that visited Dhaka a few weeks ago.

BROS/FRIENDS,

I vehemently pulled some legs to prove that 160 Mil People almost became unsecured by now as Bharat being a predatory-expansionist as neighbor was erecting fences to box them up and sea level was rising to sink BD's vast chunk by next 40-50 yrs(Let's hope it doesn't happen though). In such a grave scenario, beating 40 yrs old dead horse tirelessly and glorifying feel good independence is simply digging BDian's own graveyard even deeper. We need to come to our senses and be honest to forgive and forget the past.

Brothers in a family fight but when it happens by outsider’s interference then it gets bitter. So, the treacherous Bharati's mindsets need to be pushed back at unified PAK level. This way a perfect denominator for security ingredient would be created and that's the way forward IMO.

Are you suggesting to unite with pakistan so that you can move there when bangladesh sinks?
Weirdly I support it, it will reduce pressure on Indian border.

1. BAL govt has failed to convince anyone that this was a coup de tat or an attempt at regime change.

2. BA is being de-stabilized. Its discipline and morale are targeted. Beside BNP and JeI BAL views the military as a threat to them.

3. BAL, from inception in 1950's have been anti-military. Their experience in 1967, 1969 and finally in 1970 have strengthened their dislike for the armed forces. 1975 has turned them into hating the military. The top leaders, ie, Sk Mujib family and families of Mujib's close colleagues were gunned down by army officers. There burns an extreme urge for vengence. They want revenge by obliterating the military from BD.

I'd have a vendetta against an organization if it killed my family.
