Pakistan's Tejaram in 1971

[kobiraaz]

Overshadowed by the name of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, lesser known Tajuddin Ahmed was the main architect of Bangladesh's independence war and subsequent liberation.. After the arrest of Sheikh Mujib, Tajuddin Ahmed crossed into India, met Indira Gandhi, secured assistance, formed Mukti Bahini, established a Government in Exile, foiled a plot of reconciliation with Pakistan by few prominent Awamileague leaders during the war, gained worldwide recognition by effective diplomacy, won the war and handed over the power to released Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Before the dark night of 25th march, Awamileague leadership was alerted of the troop movement by Bengali officers. Tajuddin Ahmed drafted a declaration of independence hastily and took it to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. His plan was to send the declaration to foreign journalists residing in Hotel Intercontinental and go into hidding. However hours before the start of Operation Search Light Sheikh Mujib refused to declare independence and sent Tajuddin Ahmed home. Brokenhearted Tajuddin returned home but managed to escape Pakistan Army by seconds who were sent to capture him. Disguised as Farmer he crossed the border and met BSF officers who then took him to Indira Gandhi.

That night his wife took shelter in neighbor's house and was interrogated but The Pakistani officer couldn't identify her as Tajuddin's wife. The officer who was assigned to capture Tajuddin found his old father in law in the house who could not flee due to old age. The army turned the house into makeshift camp and the officer soon started to respect and befriended the old man as he was an Islamic scholar and ex teacher of Arabic in the renowned Dhaka college.It was his conversation with the officer that made me open this thread.

One day The officer asked the old man " You are a good Muslim with great Islamic knowledge, How could you give your daughter to a Hindu ? " The old man replied "His name is Taj-Uddin-Ahmed and he is not a hindu." But the officer replied "no we have information that he is a RAW officer and his name is Tejaram. He entered into East Pakistan to break Pakistan into Two"

In truth Taj Uddin's family was from Gazipur. A conservative Muslim family. His father was Maulavi Muhammad Yasin Khan and mother Meherunnesa Khanam. Tajuddin was only taught Arabic and Persian in his early age. He became Hafiz e Quran ( learnt it By heart) and was sent to common school only at the insistence of his mother at later age.

blaming everything on RAW is old habit of our neighbors !

not exactly ..... it is a new developing habit ..... and is mainly developed after operation zarb-e-azab ..... due to the public opinion that ttp is backed by RAW .... which we all know how close is to truth

 

[ebrahym]

nothing new Even Fatima Jinna was declared Indian Agent by the establishment.

not by establishment by .... ayub khan who was running for president against her .... a political stunt ...... too bad he was linked with establishment ..... not all of establishment supported him though

nothing new Even Fatima Jinna was declared Indian Agent by the establishment.

jokes apart but you guys have a long history accusing ISI ..... the current perception of accusing RAW is new to Pakistan .... before them we used to accuse America of all crap .... even for war with india

Yet more evidence to suggest that East Pakistan was never loyal to the Union. East Pakistan always created trouble in constitutional matters. The 1956 Constitution is a good example to suggest how the East Pakistani political establishment simply bullshited their way out of it. While Bangladesh now has 8 divisions, back then East Pakistani politicians were busy plotting to dominate the West Pakistan by using Bangal as a single unit while opposing West Pakistan's single unit policy. It is utterly misleading to think that the 71 crisis was entirely of the making of the West Pakistan establishment, as the East Pakistan politicians were never really loyal to the Union. Mujib was a Marxist who was very close to the KGB, it was always his intention to create such a crisis. Heavy handed tactics of West Pakistani dictators didn't help either. The split in 71 was going to happen sooner or later. Bangladesh will remain a ghost in the shadow of India, it will never emerge as a true sovereign state.

History is amusing and it is never useless to learn past stories. Those who do not learn from mistakes are doomed to repeat it.

There is no proof that Mujib was marxist and had any connection with KGB. Just because Soviet Union sided against Pakistan you can't assume that Mujib had connection with Them. The alliance was secured by Indira Gandhi; not Mujib. Mujib always advocated a neutral foreign relation with every country. This is why Indian Army was forced to withdraw within 2 months and Mujib went to Pakistan to hug ZAB neglecting Gandhi's phone call.

Mujib in his memoir mentioned his political struggle against Marxists in early days of Pakistan. His antipathy for communists during his rule in Bangladesh is well known.

Bangladesh is surrounded by India. Its not possible to come out of Indian shadow. India will dominate over Bangladesh forever but its also true that it will remain as an independent country forever.

Real India is only in the west. North and east sides are unnatural extension of India,poor,backward,thinly populated region with remote mountainous jungle good for only python.Those region will always remain backwater due to difficult terrain and inaccessibility.

Please describe true sovereign state.

Bangladesh is surrounded by India that doesnt mean Bangladesh will be under shadow Republic of India. Republic of India or Islamic republic Pakistan didnt exist before 70 years or 200 years. Who can guarantee their existence after abolishing modern state ideas. Bangla was, still is and always will be. Geographical proximity, trade, language, culture, history made us similar people. Bangladesh is a separate Indian subcontinent country. Similar to all of Indian ocean doesnt belong to Republic of India, Indian subcontinent also not exclusively to them.

very interesting where you find it ?? on topic we will never come to definite conclusion who were the real architect of separation of east Pakistan from west and emerge of Bangladesh. it s known even from the books of jahanara imam ekaturer din duli young leadership of Awami league were supporter of separation where top leadership where against it ..Tajuddin were known pro India after liberation so its not surprising he was determine for the liberation where mujib were hesitating.

Perhaps the opposite emerge. If W Pak was loyal to Pakistan, its laws, and was concerned that the nation should continue to survive, then they should have faithfully accepted the verdict of the elections. By not doing so, W Pak political-military establishment clearly caused the break-up. Only an idiotic general and a silly political leader could have imagined that by waging war on the majority they could ensure unity of the nation. Nope, W Pak military and political leaders of the time must be totally blamed for what happened. No wonder, Gen Zia had Bhutto hanged - not for the murder of Kasuri Sr but for dissecting the nation.

Please describe a true sovereign state.

he means BD will never achieve the status of a true sovereign state like Pakistan

btw looking at the numerous threads relating to 1971 Bangladesh liberation war opened every now n then,,,in my opinion,its only logical to start a separate sticky/section exclusively for it

 

[Khan_21]

I have a few bengali friends and they are mentaly stuck in 1971 and they can't come out of it . One of them is so obsessed about it he said he will make a 71 floor skyscraper and name it freedom tower .
