sir,most of wat you say is correct,i respect your mentality........but da refugees then are indians now.........one of my frnd whose grandparents are from bd,during da partition(i cannot recall whethe pre or post 1971),had a pact with a muslim here dat,once they interchanged countries they will occupy each others houses,coming here they were shocked to see a one storeyed small house which awaited them in bardhaman in exchange for their bunglow.........they lived a painfull life here,but today he supports the decsion which his grandparents took then.........i assume u understand why...........there is a para of flourishing bengalis here(5 min bus from my house) named 'sarat colony' which constitutes of bengali refugees,who later prospered in india........thnx
Ah! Jako you are back.
.....My point is not how much they won or lost materially by migration, but I wanted to say that they sure missed us and our love & respect as much we missed them. Money was earned or not, both our hearts did suffer and eyes shaded tears---despite we belonged to different religion.
Many fails to realize that unique relationship, as because they failed to understand Islam or religion. Islam/religion stipulates not to harm others but does not stop you--rather implore you--to do good to others. As a result, a special bondage comes into being. If any religion encourage you on the contrary, it is not religion.
Somehow, I am not in favor of (permanent) migration under usual circumstances. One Hindu friend---considering me perhaps the best free counsel available around---opened his mind, and discreetly asked about migrating to WB. I slapped very hard his face, and left the place saying: "You go to hell if you don't like your land of birth".
For whatever reason, he meekly stayed back, and now he is a flourishing businessman with a more flourishing family, and still a friend.
However, Migration under unusual condition of Bangladeshis--as the result of uncontrolled population explosion---to 7 sister states is a possible phenonmenon and is under study by international sociologists. Naturally there are conflicting opinions.
