No really HRCBM is RAW sponsored -

HRCBM: Enemy of the State

Bangladesh has been receiving coverage since 2001 in both the print and Internet media, however, much of that coverage has been predominantly negative. Hence, E-force Team has undertaken the investigation of an organization called Human Rights Congress on Bangladesh Minorities (HRCBM) and prepared a report to provide a picture of the extent of international anti-Bangladesh propaganda spearheaded by (HRCBM) for the benefit of individuals, the media and the Bangladesh Government. Emails exchanged between HRCBM members are the main source for the attached Report.

HRCBM members interact and plot via an Internet forum, United Minority that comprises of members whose words speak of utter hatred for Bangladesh in all forms. They speak of boycotting Bangladesh made products and "Islamizing" Bangladesh before the world's eyes to denigrate and humiliate Bangladeshis.

HRCBM is not a lone actor in this grand enterprise. HRCBM is linked to associations like Mayer Dak, a Kolkata based newspaper with a prolific Internet presence and World Hindu Federation. How much of HRCBM's allegation against Bangladesh is true? Is the number of people dying, looted and beaten accurate? Who is compiling data for HRCBM? Where is the stream of information coming from? No one is denying that a number of Hindus and poor and powerless Muslims has been target of assault and are dead, but the question is was this a cause of systemic religious fanaticism? Or, unfortunate isolated events, hooligans, maastans, and depraved individuals are taking advantage of following the change in administration? The present report unravels some of these questions.

The recent spat of atrocities against some Bangladeshis is not an institutionalized practice. These crimes are not condoned by the State, the Government and the people and are looked as a vice against the freedom of all people's right to live justly, without fear, and to exercise the rights of every man born free in its country of citizenship and origin.

We hope the readers will find the Report useful. We hope that we become alert and work together to make Bangladesh for all its citizens' safe, just and fair and remain faithful to truth.

That does not say about RAW. DOes it?
You better make a distinction between RAW and hindu groups.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Did you mean I wrote the links or the reports that the links lead to? If the latter no. The reports disclose intercepted telephone conversations of the operatives of HRCBM and there is no doubt who they work for.

I think RAW blocked that alochana site, does not open. but its PDF so it can't be intercepted conversation, but 'intercepted hindu zionist conversations by Zaid Hamid, a short story'.

So when was this conversation 'tapped'. Why were they not prosecuted, but the tapes given to 'true nationalists'? may be some of the answers are on the site, but does not open.

and of course, the original 'article' itself it 'readers opinion'

Construction of Farakka Barrage-Widespread natural catastrophe apprehended in Rajshahi region


India is diverting water flow of the river Padma through Farakka unilaterally, ignoring international law

Friday April 03 2009 12:55:02 PM BDT

Sarker Samira Jannat

A widespread natural catastrophe is apprehended along the river Padma since the natural flow of water of the 'once mighty' river has been blocked completely in many places creating miles long dune and charlands.(The BD Today )

The situation along sixty kilometres long and five kilometres wide river bed starting from Bidirpur under Godagari thana of Rajshahi district to Hardinge Bridge at Paksey under Ishurdi thana in Pabna district is very vulnerable. Except several pockets, there is no water any where in these vast areas.

Such severe situation has been created at and along the regions of river Padma at the down stream, due to unilateral withdrawal of water through the Farakka Barrage, people claim. Experts on water resources expressed their deep concern over the prevailing dry situation of the river Padma and feared, if there was no sufficient rainfall and release of water through the Farakka Barrage by India according to Water Sharing Treaty of 1996, Rajshahi region would face a severe drought causing a serious damage of flora and fauna as well as biodiversity.

In the bed of the dried river, many permanent chars (shoal) have emerged where crops are being cultivated. Many of them have become playgrounds for young people.

There is allegation that India does not release water through the Farakka Barrage into the river Padma during dry season according to the water sharing contract.

Sadly India is diverting water flow of the river Padma through Farakka unilaterally, ignoring international law. As a result, water flow of the river Padma at the down stream has been decreasing every year. With the advent of the dry season, Padma under over one mile long Hardinge Bridge, except a very small segment, at Paksey has become dry where farmers are cultivating crops. Fishermen are passing idle time as there is no fish to catch due to extremely insufficient water at few points.

It is further alleged by the authorities of Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) that the meetings of Joint River Commission is not held regularly due to reluctance of India about it. Even if there is any meeting, it does not bear any fruit. As a result of continuous decrease of water flow every year, the once mighty river Padma is turning into a desert. Consequently, the temperature of the region has become extreme. During the summer, day temperature remain very high and hot while at nightfall the temperature drops drastically. Such fluctuation of temperature is noticed in the desert region only. The annual rainfall at the Padma basin near Rajshahi is also deceasing and the subterranean water level is also running low. As a result, almost all tube wells of the region remained inoperative and shallow tube wells of the Barind regions remain nonfunctional.

Experts say that the water flow of river Padma near Rajshahi has been very low. As a result, the environment of this region may face a catastrophe. If such situation continues, the environmental balance of this region will be destroyed, they affirmed.

[freakunleashed92]

I really hope this project goes on
I'm seriously tired of the water cuts in summer :p

What has bangladesh done for us anyway that they are acting in such a pretentious and contemptuous manner??

Its we who won them independence and give them millions of dollars of aid every year

 

[freakunleashed92]

Reading the comments of all the pakistani and bangladeshi members , i seriously feel that this project should go on.

Not only should this one go on , india should build more dams on the indus river.

If china responds by constructing a dam on the brahmaputra, indian scientists have already found ways of diverting the water of hundreds of tributaries of brahmaputra which originate in india to create a viable supply


Its our water , let it reach to the millions of slum dwellers ( as many bangladeshis rightly reminded us)

This perfectly match your name....

learn english ,

Its " matches" not "match"

Anyway , how is this relevant to the topic ??

There is a logical fallacy known as the "Ad Hominum" in which a looser attacks the opposing person instead of the argument , this is onw of those cases.

Perhaps you have nothing else to say to it..

The project will go on. Stop us if you can

You Indians just can't top messing with pak and bangladesh.you know this water thing could lead to war wih pak bangladesh and even china involved then we'll see how many dams you make when you have bombs raining over your heads.

Oh really? and you think we would be like sitting ducks dont you??

Any attack by you guys will be repulsed. All our military wargames are undertaken taking in mind the possibility of a joint hostility by pak , bangladesh , china and even Sri lanka

If a situation arrives that we have bombs over our heads , so you bet that u'll have nothing but radiation to drink.

And ofcourse , you would think we have no allies dont you??

Heard of Israel?
Heard of Russia?

And perhaps even the USA .

Lol , now

Ah! freak…. You are really precise in selecting your name.

By the way, arguments are for friendly participants. Solution of water problems by discussion necessitates in fact 2 attributes : ‘Good neighbor role’ along with ‘Friendship’. Do India honestly have any example to show presence of these 2 attributes together ?

None of your neighboring countries will agree. Even you know that. That is why you claimed 3 allies---like 3 accomplices or collaborators, and all of them far away like Israel, Russia, and then, with a tinge of uncertainty, USA. Why not at least someone a little bit nearer ?

That is a serious incapacity, freak…..

Bangladesh and Pakistan can boast of ‘Sino-Bangla’ ties, or ‘Sino-Pak’ friendship—even ‘Pak-Bangla’ relationship—after so many odd occurrences, but not India.

Coming to ‘friendship’ alone (without ‘good neighbor’ role) you mentioned Israel who too are not in good terms with its own neighbors. Anyway, here you are also correct. As bad neighbors, Israel and India make the most compatible pair in the context of each one’s respective location. A poetic justice !

In view of above realities, solution of the desperate water problems appear too difficult without being desperate by all your neighbors.

...as regards to the tone you use. Do you know history never allowed such a tone for too long a time ?

 

[Jako]

Sir,the farrakka barrage i feel is no threat to bd........during the tenure of respected Jyoti basu as cm of w-bengal a jalobonton(bengali word) treaty was signed which says,every alternative ten days india and bd would get larger amount of water ie from 1 to 10 of a month india gets larger amnt of water and in da next ten days bd gets larger amnt........thnx

Israel?Russia?U.S?oh please what are they gonn do condemn the war what can they do when you are surrounded by three enimies no one in the right mind would even think about coming to rescure you and you will pay if you do something that pisses us as in your neighbours off.
LOL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

India finalises construction of Tipaimukh Dam: Adverse impact feared on Bangladesh environment, ecology

The Indian government already has completed all preparations to construct Tipaimukh dam on Borak River just a kilometer north of Zakigonj in Sylhet.

The construction work was postponed in March 2007 in the face of protests from different quarters of their own country and outside of India.

Now the Tipaimukh dam project already been verified by the environment ministry of India. The central government of India has taken new programme to implement the project.

According to the source, the design of the project has been completed. The government of Mizoram State has got approval from the central government to construct Tipaimukh dam spending 5,163.86 crore Indian Rupi cash.

At first, the people of the Mizoram State formed strong movement against the dam construction. But the Indian government was able to convince the people of the state to avoid the movement on Tipaimukh Dam.

After that, the Indian government wants to convince Bangladesh for shunning the restriction from Bangladesh to construct the dam and for this reason the Foreign Minister of India Shib Shankar Menon recently visited Bangladesh.

During the visit he met with Foreign Minister of the country Dr Dipu Moni, her deputy Hasan Mahmud and others concerned.

He discussed about the dam and proposed some facilities from India for Bangladesh if the government of Bangladesh agrees to accept the project of Tipaimukh dam. India is ready to give some facilities to Bangladesh including supplying electricity.

He told that Bangladesh should send a delegation comprising technical and political people to witness the project.



The optimism of the Indian government is that they will be able to convince Bangladesh.

The proposed Tipaimukh dam is to be located 500 metres downstream from the confluence of Barak River, and lies on the south-western corner of Manipur State.

Bangladesh gets 7 to 8 percent of its total water from the Barak in India's north-eastern states. Millions of people are dependent on hundreds of water bodies, fed by the Barak, in the Sylhet region for fishing and agricultural activities.

The environmentalists expressed deep concern if the project is implemented it could deprive Bangladesh of its share of the international river that supplies waters to hundreds of water bodies in the region. They fear that the dam would ultimately dry up the Meghna River in the greater Sylhet region and nearely districts.

The dam will kill all common rivers of the country particularly the Meghna River, the biggest river of the country.

The construction of the dam when completed in 2012 would bring about a major disaster for Bangladesh, virtually drying up the Surma and the Kushiara rivers in winter season, which water most of the north-eastern regions of Bangladesh.

The Tipaimukh dam would seriously affect not only agriculture, particularly in winter, but is also going to bring about negative ecological and environmental changes in vast areas in both Bangladesh and India.

Among the common rivers, the most rivers affected by Indian barrages and their networks of canals, reservoirs and irrigation schemes are the Ganges, the Meghna and the Teesta.

Although India and Bangladesh have water-sharing agreement for the Ganges, there are none for the other 53 common rivers. With the Tipaimukh dam now underway, India would be diverting river waters from its north to its south and east, thereby putting Bangladesh under serious stress.

The environmentalists in Bangladesh have held many talks on the adverse impact of the proposed dam. They say the dam would dry up the river and the water bodies in the downstream, leaving millions jobless.

It may be mentioned that Water Resource Ministry knows nothing in advance about the construction of the dam and the Minister is also unaware of the dam.

There is no information in the ministry about the dam except for some cutting of newspapers.

Bangladesh to protest Tipaimukh dam construction

Bangladesh will protest officially against construction of the Tipaimukh dam as the project may cause a catastrophic ecological impact on the country’s northeastern region.


Two senior cabinet ministers, who hail from the region (Sylhet), spoke about their plan to resist the construction of the dam at the Annual General Meeting of Jalalabad Association at Bangladesh Shishu Academy auditorium.


“The dam will desert the greater Sylhet region,” Finance Minister AMA Muhith told the meeting.


He said, the Tipaimukh dam will dry up the rivers Surma, Kushiara and Meghna as well as the haors.


“It’s the responsibility of every citizen to resist the dam,” he said, adding that a plus point is that the Indian people in the surrounding areas of the project like Karimganj and Monipur are also against the project.


Muhith said by implementing the project, India will withdraw waters from international river Barak for irrigation purpose, which will desert the land in Bangladesh’s northeastern region. “We cannot allow this disaster to take place.”


He said there would have no problem with the project if it was restricted only for power generation and flood control.


“We’ll solve the problem through bilateral discussion,” he said.


Addressing the function, Social Welfare Minister Enamul Huq Mostafa Shaheed said the government will protest the Indian move officially.


“We’ll have to resist construction of the dam at any cost,” he added.
