তুই ছাড়া কেউ বোঝেনা

এই মনের আবদার,

তোর চোখের ইশারাতে চাই হারাতে আবার..

তুই ছাড়া কেউ বোঝেনা এই মনের আবদার,

তাইতো ছুটে আসি রোজ আমি বারবার।

স্বপ্ন হয়ে ছুঁয়ে আছিস চোখেরই তারায়,

মনটা পড়ে থাকে শুধু তোরই পাড়ায়।

তোর প্রেমে ডুবে ডুবে আমি একাকার,

বড় সুখী লাগে আমার নিজেকে তখন।

তুই ছাড়া পথ নেই তো পা বাড়াবার

তুই যে আলো আশা বেঁচে থাকবার।

এ আমার সবকিছুর শুধু তুই দাবিদার

তাইতো ছুটে আসি রোজ আমি বারবার,

তোর চোখের ইশারাতে চাই হারাতে আবার।

তুই ছাড়া কেউ বোঝেনা

এই মনের আবদার

তাইতো ছুটে আসি রোজ আমি বারবার।

Abdar Song Lyrics In English No one understands

except you In this mind,

That's why I came running

I do it again and again.

At the tip of your eye

Want to lose again ..

No one understands except you

In this mind,

That's why I came running

I do it again and again.

You are in a dream with the stars,

The mind is left behind only you.

Drowning in your love I am single,

If I can give Chas a discount on everything.

Lose with you today There are no obstacles,

That's why I came running I do it again and again.

I want your eyesight To lose again ..

No one understands except you In this mind,

That's why I came running I do it again and again.

Write a story with you in your heart,

I feel so happy.

Without you there is no way to raise legs

The light that you hope to live.

This is all you claim

So I run again and again every day,

You want to lose your eyesight again.

Without you, nobody understands this mind

So I run again and again every day.

BOOK

Birth of Bangladesh

A concise chronicle of the independence struggle & The Genocide

Imran Chowdhury B.E.M.

‘’ 16th December is knocking at the door to cross the Golden Jubilee of the Birth of Bangladesh. The country will embark soon on the road to prosperity to march ahead with an aspiration to reach for the centenary. Long before the centenary comes, the Liberation War generation will be perhaps gone by then. But today, many who are in their teens, in their thirties or even in their forties are slowly and gradually being clouded with the events leading to the Birth of Bangladesh in 1971. There were a series of protracted movements, brainwashing, campaigns, and propaganda to water down the ferocity, bloodbath, betrayal, sacrifices, and Genocide that the nation had to endure to achieve independence or the Birth of Bangladesh. I was an eleven-year-old refugee during the War of Liberation have seen these all with my own eyes. And here I am today trying to remind today's generation what kind of heavy price their ancestors have had to pay at the altar of the Birth of Bangladesh; to have an Independent country - looking through the prism of the events of 1971. ‘’

Bangladesh has come a long way from those tumultuous days of 1971 and before. Since then, many muds, sediments, and waters have rolled down the green valleys, rivers, gorges, nullahs and haors of Bangladesh. No matter how hard those betrayers and their cronies have tried to eradicate the pains, memories and heartburn, yet they have failed miserably. The present generation treasures the legacy of the sacrifices of their ancestors. They do that with a very sad and heavy heart. Language Day, Independence Day, and Victory Day reverberate in their hearts and minds all the time, and they crave paying homage, celebrating and singing those epic songs and poems of patriotism. However, the diaspora communities 4th and 5th generations are passing through a crucial juncture of erosion of losing their ancestral Bangla vocabulary and literacy.

But, let me remind them all, No matter who says otherwise - ''1971 was the Golden Hour of the Bengali race's four thousand years of existence.'' Only a handful of countries in the world had to what we had to to be an independent country. Hardly any country in the world had to sacrifice such magnitude of price like us. We have perhaps paid the highest in that bloody war of our independence; in terms of killing, rapes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, Genocide and losing all our relics, riches and infrastructure.

The story goes back a long way away. The partition of 1947 and our half-witted leadership endangered our lives in the bondage of flimsy religious string to form a country when the other part of the jigsaw was full of racism and hate deep down in their minds and hearts. The Muslim Panjabis and the Muslim Pathan and the army was looking down upon us from the outset. To them, we were black Bengalis, we were small in height, we ate fish and rice, and we smelled, and we were not a martial race either. Yet foolishly went into a marriage of convenience with those heinous haters, to begin with.

The percussion and regain of oppression against us started as soon as we signed that hidden undeclared unspoken covenant of a neo-slavery; First, they gagged our voice with declaring war against our mother tongue - they wanted us forcefully speak in a different alien language Urdu as our official language. The first of many more avalanches of suppression and colonial aggression starts to sip into the midst of the lives of an East Pakistani.

They started stealing our produces, encash all our exports proceeds, expanded all developments on the west with a measly token of a few buildings for us—the disparity in jobs and employment and in the military. The rise of Bengali nationalism starts to perpetuate, foment and ferment slowly and gradually for the next 24 years.

One by one, the heinous Pakistani Muslim Punjabi and Pathan army started capturing all the cities, towns, ports, thana towns, municipalities, unions and even up to villages. Our mother, Bengal's brave and hero sons, did not sit idle on the face of that avalanches of bullets, cannon shells, and burst fires of their machine guns. The East Bengal Regiment, The East Pakistan Rifles, Police, Ansar, Mujahid, Students, mass population Political Parties all joined in unison to repulse the siege except those ideologically leaning towards radical right-wing religious biased schools of thought.

The rise of Bengali unity cemented over the hours, and that was perhaps the best hour in the history of the Bengali race. Revolts by the regular forces, paramilitary forces, border security forces, auxiliary forces, the student the general public sprang out of nowhere within hours and days. Joydevpur, Chittagong, B. Baria, Shamsher Nagar, Chuadanga, Jessore, Dinajpur started revolts and repulsions. People from all walks of life joined with their single barrel and double barrel shotguns, .22 bore shooting rifles, personal pistols, revolvers, knives, swords, ramda, bows and arrows, lances, spades, shovels, lancers made of bamboos. Just anything lethal could inflict harm to those heinous, barbaric Pakistani army. The ferocity and speed of the invaders were overwhelming for the resistance movement yet the golden sons of Bengal did not flinch an eyelid of fear.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, mass killings, rapes, and arsons continued from town after towns, ports after ports, and villages. Continuous 24 hours round the clock curfew were promulgated and with a hour or two beaks in between. Million city and town dwellers evacuated and fled their town with only their lives, leaving every valuable behind. People fled with their families and kids to save their souls from the slaughters. The seven and a half million Bengalis are under siege by those Butchers; The Commander of the Pakistani Army Lieutenant General Tikka unleashed OPERATION JACKPOT; the man himself was known as the Butcher of Bengal whose directives of the operational order was, ‘’ Paint the Green Grasses of Bengal with the Red Bloods of the Bengalis. We do not need any Bengalis - only grab the land and wipe the slate clean., kill them all.” That was the barbaric aim, plan, target, narrative, objective and directive of that infamous butcher Pakistani Army Commander Lieutenant General Tikka Khan.

Pakistan deployed its Muslim Panjabi and The Pathan army in erstwhile East Pakistan ( today's Bangladesh) to unleash one of the most brutal military operations to annihilate, uproot, eradicate the whole of the Bengali race from the face of the earth. The modus operandi was the top brasses of the heinous Pakistan Army only wanted the landmass of East Pakistan without its inhabitants. Their objectives were to kill all the Bengali men and impregnate all the Bengali women. So that in the next year, when those Bengali women will give birth, those children will have mixed blood of Pakistani Punjabi and Pathan ancestry, so that in the years to come when those children come to age will never raise their voice against their blood fathers. With those intentions, military operational directive, aim and objectives, the Pakistani Military junta's infamous Operation Searchlight started to perpetrate in 1971.

From the 26th March 1971, Bengali soldiers of East Bengal Regiments, East Pakistan Rifles, Police, Ansar, Mujahid's (additional paramilitary elements), students, Political parties supporters, the day labourers, peasants, ex and retires soldiers, Politicians all started to revolt against Pakistan. That moment was perhaps the most cementing time hours of camaraderie in the history of the Bengali race.

The nucleus of nationwide and countrywide seeds of fighting the enemy perpetuated within a flash. Revolts by the peoples' collective resistance started in Chuadanga, Chittagong, Dinajpur, Jessore, Shamshernagar.

But the irony was our men had no weapons, no ammunition, no bombs, no explosives, no binoculars, no maps, no uniform, no logistics, no supply of replenishments, no lorries, trucks, jeeps or boats to counter and withstand the vicious one of the most modern armies of the world. These shortcomings left a massive void in stopping the advance of those killers, and they started to encompass the length and the breadth of the whole country one by one. Towns, cities, ports, thanas, unions, and finally, they went into the villages to capture young women, kill the men, and enslave the kids as slave labourers. They spared no one, irrespective of colour, creed, or religion. Every town and city raided, and the long beams of fire and arson were seen from miles and miles, looting all the banks, treasuries, jewellery shops. Hundreds of thousands of women were captured and taken into their captivity every night. People started to run amok with fear of their lives. People began to abandon their dwellings from the big cities and their ancestral villages to save their lives, leaving all their assets, belonging, a lifetime of savings, ornaments, pieces of jewellery, houses and businesses. The mass exodus of the Bengalis began. A flight of massive magnitude, unseen in the history of the world since World War II, that exodus of the Bengalis were the largest.

1971 from April after the first ten days of the occupation of the whole country by the brutal Pakistani Muslim Punjabi & Pathan army was unimaginable. Their killing, torture, rapes, arson and the continuous process of the Operation Searchlight of encamping the whole 75 million population created the biggest exodus of mass people. Unarmed, peace-loving millions of Bengalis, irrespective of their religion, caste found themselves in the firing lines of these heinous killers. The whole of East Pakistan became a prison overnight. The meticulous operation planners of the Pakistan Army had chalked out a detailed operational plan with a precision execution so that the Bengali population could not have any breathing space to survive. Since the crackdown on the fateful night of the 25/26th March. The army imposed curfew in almost all the major - minor townships and some neighbourhoods.

The people started to take extreme risks to flee their homes in millions through the vast paddy fields, non-metalled camouflaged small alleyways, through the canals, rivers, village to town and towns to countryside reachable tracks and aisles. The standing crops, especially the Jute plantation, the sugarcane fields, swamps, large bodies of stagnant waterlogged hoars, bills, estuaries, gave some respite for these fleeing millions from the sight of the invaders and their collaborators.

People were abandoning their dwellings out of fear of death and saving their girls, wives, and mothers from being captured by those rapists. There were collaborators from within the populations who immediately joined hands; those killers started looting those empty houses, left abandoned by the owners to flee the massacre. The billowing plume of the flames of the arsons of those looted houses, businesses, government offices, downtown commercial districts up and down the country made it look like an apocalypse of biblical narration.

Millions of people fled from towns to the villages, ports to islands, urban areas to marshy swamps. Thousand moved from populated localities to deep in the jungles.

Lacs and lacs of inhabitants fled from the villages adjacent to the main road arteries into the deep unpassable swamps, canals, unpassable lakes and bills and khals.

Imagine the plight of those millions of displaced people. No food, no running water supply. Not a penny to buy any food or provisions. Sleeping rough, no roof over their head, no clothing to wear, no quilts, pillows, blankets or tents to sleep.

Life threw everyone at least 50 - 60 million people out of 75 million population into these deeper end of survival.

People of all walks of life fled from their dwelling en masse from the capital, from the divisional cities, from the district towns, sub-divisional towns, from the thana, headquarter townships, from the port cities to the villages, thinking this will give them the respite from the avalanche of death from the advancing barbaric Pakistani Army. The village's infrastructure could barely cope with this sudden influx of people pouring in there. The flood of people kept on precipitating day in and day out. It was unbearable although the people of the villages were the most welcoming and accommodating to give shelter to their town dwellers, relatives, relatives of relatives and even unknown people. The nation owes a great deal of respectful endorsement of their help during those tumultuous times of our history.

However, the villages and their people were sitting redundant in their homes predominantly due to the fear of bombs, Army patrolling, indiscriminate stray bullets, projectiles; the peasants in most of the country remained homebound in fear. Never in their lives have they ever witnessed these kinds of bombing, shelling, fighter planes flying above their villages and the sheer fear abandoned all sorts of farming activities in most villages.

The hat ( markets), the bazaars, grocery shops, fishmongers, vegetable supply chain, the rice and pulses became scarce in those villages due to the sudden rise of population and lack of transportation. Bear in mind that 95% of the country was under siege.

The peasants could not sow the seeds for their next crops; the paddy fields near the main arteries of transportation around the country remained unharvested due to the fear of losing life and being killed indiscriminately. Children could not get milk, and the waterborne diseases started in the villages due to lack of sanitation and the sheer influx of exponential rise of inhabitants in those villages.

With CAA, Article 370 volleys, PM Modi takes aim at Opposition - caa 2019

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, blaming the Congress and the Left parties for hiding behind the Constitution to encourage those who were violating it, reading out quotes from three former Jammu & Kashmir chief ministers to justify their preventive detentions, terming the anti-CAA protests as anarchic, and staunchly defending the changed citizenship law by highlighting the plight of minorities in Pakistan. The Prime Minister, at the same time, called for the ongoing Parliament session to be “dedicated” to the economy while saying that its fundamentals – from fiscal deficit targets to manageable inflation to macroeconomic stability – were strong. Modi also spoke in the Rajya Sabha later -- the first time he addressed both houses of Parliament in the same day -- focussing more deeply on the economy and bringing in the National Population Register (NPR) into the discussion by asking Opposition leaders not to “mislead” people by “lying” about what he called a “regulation administrative process”. In a fiery Lok Sabha speech often interrupted by objections and interjections from the Opposition benches, Modi, in his reply to the Motion of Thanks by President Ram Nath Kovind, said: “The people who are trying to lecture us to save the Constitution, need to repeat their own words to themselves. These are the same people who imposed the Emergency, tried to take judicial rights away from the Supreme Court, tried to end the right to life, made the most changes in the Constitution, dismissed state governments dozens of times, tore Cabinet decisions in press conferences, and put up a remote control above the prime minister and the PMO.” Linking that with ongoing agitations in several parts of the country against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, or CAA, Modi said that it was these same people who were standing next to those who wanted to divide the country (“tukde-tukde”), and were encouraging people through lies and speeches to undermine democratic decisions. “Can the path of anarchy run the nation?” Modi asked. The speech was broken into eight distinct parts: Modi first addressed questions raised by members about the hurry with which the government was bringing in major legislations in this term; he then spoke about integrating the North-east and held the recent Bodo peace accord as an example; spoke on measures to boost the farm sector; called for a constructive debate on the economy, which, he said, was ploughed and ready to seed; criticised “disruptive and violent” protests while citing the Constitution; castigated those who slammed the nullification of special provisions for J&K; offered a treatise on why CAA was necessary, including quotes from Jawaharlal Nehru and past Hindu legislators in the Pakistan parliament; and finally called on fellow parliamentarians to come together to work for development rather than division. “Instead of this, come, let’s sit together and run the country. Let’s take India on the path to becoming a $5 trillion economy, let’s resolve to give clean drinking water to the 15 crore families who don’t have it, let’s work together to give every poor person a home, and every farmer, fisherman, cattle raiser a better income. Let’s make it possible for every panchayat to have broadband connectivity and to make ‘One India, Leading India’. Come, let us sit together to take India forward,” he said. The Congress rejected Modi’s contentions, with its former president Rahul Gandhi calling the PM’s speech an attempt at distracting the people. “His style is of distracting the country. Talk about the main issue Prime Minister ji. Tell the youth what you are doing about jobs...His style is to distract the country. He had said two crore jobs will be given to youngsters, but five and a half years have passed. Last year, one crore youth lost jobs, he is unable to say a word,” he said outside Parliament. The Congress also said the PM’s comments on India’s former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru -- Modi said the country was partitioned so that “one particular person could become the PM” -- were unacceptable. “It is extremely unfortunate and deeply regrettable that the prime minister’s comments oscillated between stand-up comedy, half truths and rank communalism. It is regrettable that the Prime Minister of India should quote one of his illustrious predecessors Jawaharlal Nehru completely out of context,” said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari, calling on Modi to apologise for it. While the PM’s speech was peppered with strong jibes and sarcastic attacks on the Opposition, particularly the Congress and its former president Rahul Gandhi, the most combative points of his speech were when he was talking about the CAA protests and Kashmir. On Kashmir, particularly, he quoted comments by the former CMs made in August – at the time when Parliament cleared the nullification of Articles 370 and 35A, and the reorganisation of the region into two Union Territories – to suggest that they were not in sync with the spirit of the Indian Constitution. Saying that former CM Mehbooba Mufti of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called the move a “betrayal”, Omar Abdullah of the National Conference (NC) warned of an “earthquake” in the aftermath of the decision, and Farooq Abdullah said people would stop waving the Indian flag in the region, Modi asked if any “true Indian” would “advocate the cause of such people”. Mehbooba and the Abdullahs have been in preventive custody for the past six months – a move that has been criticised by opposition parties, civil society members, and raised in international forums. Representatives from the NC and the PDP rejected Modi’s claims. “What former CMs had said in context of the Article 370 was that it is a right and guarantee given to them under Indian Constitution,’’ said PDP spokesperson and youth leader Tahir Sayeed. NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said the government must answer what development had taken place since the Article 370 move for the region’s development since that was one of the reasons given for it. In what was his first speech in Parliament on the anti-CAA protests, the Prime Minister repeated the government’s assurance that the law would not impact any Indian citizen. “From this House today, I would like to make it clear that the CAA law will not affect any Indian citizens, whether they are Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or from any religion,” he said. CAA, passed by Parliament on December 11, identifies people from religious minorities from some neighbouring Muslim-majority countries as those eligible for Indian citizenship if they have faced persecution. Just as he brought up Nehru in the Lok Sabha, Modi quoted Lal Bahadur Shastri, Ram Manohar Lohia, and a Congress Working Committee resolution of 1947 to contend that CAA was an idea that had endorsement in the past from the same parties that now opposed it. In the same vein, he brought up NPR in the Rajya Sabha speech, saying it was the previous regime’s idea but was now being used to stir up a frenzy by “provoking” people with “false information”. “The NPR is a normal administrative process. You brought it in 2010, now you are misleading people? These are procedural issues, don’t spread rumours,” he said. With the Delhi elections just two days to go, the national capital made only fleeting appearances in the speeches – briefly while talking about anti-CAA protests; during a reference to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway as an example of the government’s pace of work; when he mentioned a scheme for regularising 1,700 unauthorised colonies; and once towards the end when he said that people accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi had been made chief ministers by the Congress. (The reference was to Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath, who was named in connection with the riots but has not been formally accused and denies any link). Modi said that the difference between his government and opposition governments was its ability to deliver, and its intention to take everyone along (“sabka saath”). “Where the Congress saw Muslims, we see Indians,” he said, naming Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Ashfaqullah Khan, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Abdul Hamid and former president APJ Abdul Kalam as a few examples of Muslims who are forever linked with India’s values and identity. If we had done work like the Congress, it would have taken us 50 years to get the enemy property law, 35 years to get next generation fighter aircraft and, even after 28 years, we wouldn’t have had a benami property law. Modi also addressed specific members of the Opposition – including Gandhi, Congress’s floor leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Shashi Tharoor – for specific remarks made by them inside and outside the House in the past few days. To Gandhi, who said in a rally in Old Delhi on Wednesday that the youth of the country would “lathi-charge Modi” over unemployment, the Prime Minister said he was happy with the forewarning and would prepare to make his back ready for the lathis by doing more ‘surya namaskara’. When Gandhi first got up to object to Modi’s comment, the PM, without naming him, said: “I have been speaking for 30-40 minutes, but the current has finally reached only now.” Read the full article
