General Zia himself fought under Sheikh Mujib and he proclaimed Sheikh Mujib as the supreme commander of the Bengalis fighting Pakistanis in 1971. How naive is it to claim Zia was bigger force behind Bangladeshi nationalism than Sheikh Mujib! | |

We have to remember the circumstances during 1972-1975. Pakistan did its best to vilify Bangladesh in international arena and duly the big donors, specially middle eastern muslim countries ruled either by selfish feudal monarchs or "democratic!" dictators did not support Bangladesh as a result of Bhutto's shrewd diplomacy. China was convinced by Pakistan too. USA's help was marginal and almost equal to nothing. Soviets could have helped but the economic fall of communism prevented that. India could not be considered a rich country then. After the destruction caused by the war and all the state capital held by Pakistan, Bangladesh desperately needed help and none arrived during Mujib's rule. We must consider them before judging Mujib during 72-75.

He is called Father of the nation,because he had this ability to move masses with his words.With his words he made people believe in independence. Leading to independence gave birth to Bangladesh.So he can certainly be called "Father of the nation" for that. Do you know why he was killed?According to own admission by Col.Rasheed in an interview,he said that if they would have thrown him out of power,he would have come back because his power to move masses with his words. And more shocking from Col.Rashid,during an interview in "Tritio matra",he said leader of the country's independence Sheikh Mujibur Rahman should be the father of the nation. http://nation.ittefaq.com/issues/200...8/news0382.htm Here is the translation of the interview of part1(later 4 parts were not telecast): IntelliBriefs: "MUJIB SHOULD BE FATHER OF THE NATION" -- Killer Khandaker Abdur Rashid Also Barrister Moudud Ahmed has mentioned him as the father of the nation in his book. http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.co.../25/70923.html So you see he is regarded as the father of the nation for his role to lead us to independence.Even by people with different ideals. Don't mix this up with later events please. Now about giving Bangladeshi identity,its another chapter altogether.And for that Zia ur Rahman is to be credited.But as far as I know BNP did not claim Zia as the father of the nation. Sheikh Mujib probably wanted to be another Kemal Ata,that's why he adopted secularism. I am saying this again,he was a charismatic leader but was inept in governing the country. Now you may be disappointed or sad,but not everyone have the same thinking.Similarly I don't agree with you on some points,but that's how it is.And we have to live with these differences. | |

I am unaware of the back gound of the case - been too long & possibly lost in ' translation'.
What ever be the reason or provocation. Murders were committed, shouldn't the perpetrators be brought to the book ? I read a post saying that so-and-so fired first or he was to ' sell' the nation. What would anyone do to an intruder to his house ? and.. can anyone be killed on the basis of a rumor ? .. the laws of the land have to be followed. |

Be the change you would like to see.

If I am not wrong,these officers would probably also get a death sentence for staging a mutiny,if they were court martialed. | |

As for the coup of 1975 there are certain other aspects to it too which I do not wish to discuss here to avoid turning this thread into mud slinging contets. | |

Brother, corruption is inevitable when there is poverty. We may find individual cases of honesty even in the midst of poverty but collectively, you will never see honesty in a poverty stricken society. The reasons I stated were responsible for the economic misery that Bangladesh was forced to live in immediately after the war. And this is the very reason for which we just can't expect to have a corruption free society during that period of time. You need to buy honesty. If a mid-ranked police officer in Bangladesh was paid $60,000.00 per year(which is not above average for a police officer in developed countries), i can guarantee you a 99% corruption free force.
