Bangladesh: The Intellectual Blueprint of Islamist Traitors
by Sohail Taj

25 Aug, 2008

Over the last few months I have been observing the increasingly monotonous promotion of the book 'The India Doctrine' by the infamous Barrister MBI Munshi. His supporters and the books promoters are easily identified and include Isha Khan, Zoglul Hossain Zainal Abedin and Moin Ansari (a Pakistani national residing in New York). These are all well-known anti-Indians, who, at every opportunity, spout venom at our big neighbour; and try to create a hostile and militant attitude towards New Delhi.

If the opinions of these few individuals were kept within this small coterie, there would not be much concern. But the ideas and perspectives found in The India Doctrine appear to be spreading. If one reads the recent write-ups and speeches of such public intellectuals like Farhad Mazar, Mahmudur Rahman, Prof. Mahbubullah, Prof. Ataur Rahman, Prof. Razia Banu, Shah Abdul Hannan and the anti-Indian stance of the BNP-Jamaat neo-Razakars you will see the adoption of the ideas contained in The India Doctrine. Several newspapers, magazines and journals such as the Naya Diganta, Sangram, Dinkal, New Age, Bangladesh Defence Journal, The Financial Express, PROBE, The Bangladesh Today and The New Nation have also been sponsoring or highlighting this new anti-Indian agenda initiated by The India Doctrine.

Having noticed incessant publicity of this book in the media, I decided to purchase a copy from a bookstore in Dhaka. For those, who support the ideals of the Liberation War and the sacrifices made by the people of Bangladesh, can only be repulsed by its contents. The book does not even leave Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman untouched by its scurrilous and repulsive innuendoes and second-rate theorizing about a supposed and fantastic Akhand Bharat [undivided India] being allegedly pursued by Indian policy-makers since the partition in 1947. What Barrister MBI Munshi does not discuss is the sacrifices that were made by India for the independence of Bangladesh. Barrister Munshi manages to disingenuously twist history to make India appear as the villain and not the murderous Pakistan army that raped and killed unarmed civilians in the erstwhile East Pakistan.


What is particularly surprising is that none of the so-called defenders of our freedoms and secular ideals has come forward to counter the objectives and ideas of the book. This is extremely dangerous as the anti-Indian tilt now appearing in Bangladesh could have very unfortunate consequences for the country. If New Delhi views its small neighbour as becoming hostile to its friendly overtures it could turn the screws and make things difficult for Bangladesh. Already many in India view Bangladesh as ungrateful. The secular intellectuals of Bangladesh must come forward and warn of the dangers of following the ideas contained in The India Doctrine.


The book essentially promotes an intellectual blueprint for an instability and reversal of the secular gains made in 1971, which ultimately trashed the concept of the Two Nation Theory—still oddly propounded in Pakistan. After 1971, Pakistanis should have come to realize that the misguided ideals of the Two Nation Theory, along religious lines, are no longer relevant—the creation of Bangladesh proved that point. Unfortunately, the neo-Razakars [traitor] in Bangladesh still passionately hold to this concept of the Two Nation Theory in the hope of reuniting Bangladesh and Pakistan. The India Doctrine superficially provides them with an argument, albeit based a weak foundation.

The dream of India's disintegration (an implication made in the book) is just a dream. Instead, we are seeing Pakistan on the verge of political collapse and Bangladesh with an uncertain future. It is without doubt India that will emerge as the regional superpower and elites in Pakistan and Bangladesh better come to recognize that reality; or both the countries will suffer consequences. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are too weak and internally divided to pose a threat to India's rise. So, why entertain dreams based on an ill-conceived religious division, which has done us more harm than good.
 
I am happy to see that some people think of the INDIA DOCTRINE as plain Venom.

Was it printed first in there? Well Its a Review of the book, we can discount other Factors. I started this thread to Disprove Mr Munshi and Co. view that WORLD CLASS JOURNALISTS contributed to the INDIA DOCTRINE. It has been proved to be just a Claim by Mr Munshi and team. I hope someone can Disprove me and Prove that the 3 Persons Quotes at the beginning of this thread are Journalists, If not World Class!!!

What did Mr.Munshi say??His words are what matters most.

In his first edition,two chapters were written By Brigadier Shakhawat Hossain.He is now an election commissioner.He is good.:tup:
I don't know about other authors though.I can post their biography.Wait a moment.
 
It was in the other thread regarding Haseena's Pro India policy. Mr Munshi pointed out Mr Rohans name while the other two names were pointed out by another BD member. I asked a reputed and unbiased Indian Journalist covering Assam and other states trying to bring to the fore the Human Rights Violations there. He told me that these guys are not Journalists and I take his word over Mr Munshis or Companies!
 
Rohan Gunaratna & Arabinda Acharya

Both writers collaborated to produce a single chapter on the Sri Lankan attitude to Indian interference or as the authors themselves put it, “India’s involvement in Sri Lankan ethnic imbroglio has been one of the most controversial, ironic as well as tragic aspects of New Delhi’s foreign policy.” While concentrating on the Sri Lankan situation the writers also manage to draw in examples from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan to back up their case on Indian aspirations in South Asia. Of significance is the Indian involvement in the protracted and apparently insoluble conflict with the Tamils. The chapter also involves a geostrategic appraisal of Sri Lanka and its growing relationship with China and Pakistan.

ROHAN GUNARATNA is an Associate Professor and Head of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies; Senior Fellow at the Combating Terrorism Center at the US Military Academy at West Point; Honorary Fellow, International Policy Institute for Counter Terrorism, Israel.

Gunaratna co-chairs the NATO-PfP Working group on Combating Terrorism since 2002 and serves on the Steering Committee of the George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute since 2004

He is a consultant to the World Terrorism Encyclopedia; author of over 100 papers and reports on terrorism; and the author of eight books including an international bestseller Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror (Columbia University Press, New York, 2002).


A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Dr Gunaratna holds a Masters degree in international peace studies from Notre Dame, US, and a Doctorate in international relations from St Andrews, UK. In 2002, he was appointed Chairman of the NATO-PFP Working Group on Counter Terrorism.

ARABINDA ACHARYA is a Visiting Associate and Manager, Strategic Projects at the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies.

I am posting the link to the first edition of the book.You will get the biographies of the authors.I hope there is no copyright issues or something.

The Indian Doctrine(1947-2007)

Bangladesh Strategic & Development Forum
Its got nothing to do with their Biography! Someone tried to Compare Munshi and Robert Fisk, thats when I got Irked, because Mr Fisk is a person I have interacted with and Admire very much. I just want to prove that No Internationally Reputed Journalist has contributed to this Work, which if done, would have made me accept India Doctrine as something more than a Conspiracy Theory. Otherwise, Rosewell and Lochness are my preferences over India Doctrine, not to mention Atlantis!
