  • Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971
    Article India Quarterly Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971: 72(2) 1–14 © 2016 Indian Council Narratives, Impacts and the Actors of World Affairs (ICWA) SAGE Publications sagepub.in/home.nav DOI: 10.1177/0974928416637921 http://iqq.sagepub.com Amit Ranjan1 Abstract Both the Bangladesh state and society are yet to settle the questions over and narratives related to the Liberation War of 1971. Broadly, there are two groups with contradictory and conflicting interpretations of the events related to that war. This has also led to the mushrooming of militant groups in the country. The beginning of trial of perpetrators of Liberation War crimes since 2010 and the execution of a few of the leaders has further polarised the society and politics of Bangladesh. The existing debates over the Bangladesh Liberation War cannot be studied without looking into the roles of India and Pakistan. The two countries have their own interpretations and political fallout of the 1971 liberation war. Keywords India, Pakistan, six demands, 1974 tripartite agreement, war trials The debates related to the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 are still alive with many groups having their own interpretations of the events that took place at that time. Most of those interpretations have been thrust upon by the Awami League (AL)-led managers of the Bangladeshi state, and any opposition to them is a cause of tension and violence. There are groups which constantly challenge the official interpretation. In the interpretation of the 1971 war also lies the seed of the rise of militancy in Bangladesh and the alienation of a large segment of society due to socio-political apathy shown towards them by the state.

  • Bangladesh 2013 International Religious Freedom Report
    BANGLADESH 2013 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom. The constitution states that Islam is the state religion, but reaffirms the nation is a secular state that “shall ensure equal status and equal rights in the practice of the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and other religions.” Government officials, including police, were sometimes slow to protect members of minority religious groups from violence, and there were several reports of involvement of government-affiliated actors in such violence. The government took steps to assist victims and restore religious and private property damaged in the violence. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. There were a large number of arson attacks and looting of minority religious sites and private homes across the country, especially against the Hindu community. Members of the Sunni Muslim majority at times harassed and physically attacked members of the Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, and Ahmadiyya Muslim minority religious groups. The government and many civil society leaders stated that violence against members of minority religious groups normally had economic or criminal dimensions, and could not be attributed solely to religious belief or affiliation. Members of minority religious groups from lower economic strata were further disadvantaged due to their inability to afford personal security or to motivate officials to provide security against harassment or violence. In meetings with officials and in public statements, the U.S. embassy expressed strong concern over acts of religious intolerance and encouraged the government to protect the rights of members of minority religious groups.

  • LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By
    LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By Rayeed Mohammad Yusuff 11108022 Seminar II ARC 512 Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University Fall 2015 LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM | 2 ABSTRACT The year of 1971 is the most significant year in the lives of the Bangladeshis. Our liberation war of 1971 is an event which marks the existence of Bangladesh. It was a war fought by the people and these valiant men and women helped us gain this country. However, in the process of gaining independence, several lives were lost, many girls and women raped and numerous people had to be displaced. The heinous Pakistanis did not hesitate once to kill the innocent people of Bangladesh. It has been almost 44 years since this war was fought and unfortunately, many people are slowly forgetting the importance of this war and the real story behind it. I believe that the people who had been present during the war and have actively participated in it are the ones who can give us the most accurate information about our Liberation War. During this long span of time, we are slowly losing most of them and we urgently need to preserve their experiences and information for the future generation. Chittagong, being a historic site during the Liberation War of 1971, does not have a Liberation War Museum of a large magnitude compared to Dhaka. Chittagong not only contributed during the Liberation War but also played a major role before it. Hence, an attempt was made to design a Liberation War Museum in Batali Hill, Chittagong.

  • The Historical Backdrop of Religious Dissention in India
    The Historical Backdrop of Religious Dissention in India Professor Chittabrata Palit Professor of History (Former), Jadavpur University, Kolkata The objective of this treatise is to analyse the historical backdrop of which gave rise to the religious conflict in India. Historians have a great accountability in this regard – such as, it is not justified to think that the mention of the golden period of ancient India means the glorification of the Hindus. The historians create this in quietude in vein by comparing it to Muslim India. It could be stated for instance that the qualms have been appeared centring the vanquishment of India by the Aryans, is completely the vicious move of the historians. This kind of mentality hinders the culture of history. It is true that, religious conflict has been witnessed in ancient India and there was friction between the Buddhists and the Hindus. At the same time it is also true that the harmonious force of Indian culture gave birth to an Indian heritage, destroying demolishing the religious conflict. The communalism which has been taken place in British India cannot be trifled. Vicious move can be taken by the foreigners; can do by the communal but why the historians should commit the same mistake! The religious conflict took place in colonial India should be graded in different category. The history which had been created in order to clear the charge against the British rule, why the Indian historians are engaging themselves in the same? On the other hand, it is also not possible to bring the equilibrium of intolerance between the Hindus and the Muslims by delineating the incidents of Hindu fundamentalism and the battles among the different religions in ancient India.
