Birth of Bangladesh: Down Memory Lane
Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 4, No. 3, July - September, 2009, 102-117 ORAL HISTORY Birth of Bangladesh: Down Memory Lane Arundhati Ghose, often acclaimed for espousing wittily India’s nuclear non- proliferation policy, narrates the events associated with an assignment during her early diplomatic career that culminated in the birth of a nation – Bangladesh. Indian Foreign Affairs Journal (IFAJ): Thank you, Ambassador, for agreeing to share your involvement and experiences on such an important event of world history. How do you view the entire episode, which is almost four decades old now? Arundhati Ghose (AG): It was a long time ago, and my memory of that time is a patchwork of incidents and impressions. In my recollection, it was like a wave. There was a lot of popular support in India for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his fight for the rights of the Bengalis of East Pakistan, fund-raising and so on. It was also a difficult period. The territory of what is now Bangladesh, was undergoing a kind of partition for the third time: the partition of Bengal in 1905, the partition of British India into India and Pakistan and now the partition of Pakistan. Though there are some writings on the last event, I feel that not enough research has been done in India on that. IFAJ: From India’s point of view, would you attribute the successful outcome of this event mainly to the military campaign or to diplomacy, or to the insights of the political leadership? AG: I would say it was all of these. -

It is one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. The clinical course is associated with various complications. Materials and Methods: To assess the short-term outcome of acute coronary syndrome we select 100 patients. The study was conducted at the Medicine wards of Khulna Medical College Hospital, Khulna from February’2019 to August’2019. We observed the clinical presentations, ECG findings, echocardiographic findings, short term complications and outcome. Results: We found that most of the patients (61%) were within 45-64 years of age. Chest pain was the most common (85%) presentation. NSTEMI is more common than STEMI. 53% patients developed complications. Acute LVF is the most common (23%) complication. AV block is the most common arrythmia (10%). We found overall mortality 38%. Conclusion: Early detection of complications is essential for reduction of morbidity and mortality. This study will help to evaluate short-term complications and to give appropriate management.

Obstetric fistula is one of the most devastating morbidity of pregnancy. Poor and young women are mostly affected and there is an immense lack of information on access to surgical repair. The demand of reconstruction surgery is far greater than the capacity of existing facilities specifically in terms of skilled manpower. In Western countries, the obstetric fistula are nowadays rarely seen as a maternal morbidity rather as a complication of pelvic surgery or radiotherapy. Fistula is a preventable condition and for this reason many developed and developing countries have been successful in fighting against fistula even in low resource setting situations. Very few studies have been conducted addressing the maternal morbidity in detail. Reliable source of data are totally not available particularly on obstetric fistula in Bangladesh. To address the need for information, UNFPA, supported EngenderHealth to conduct ‘The Situation Analysis of Obstetric Fistula in Bangladesh’. It was conducted during July – September 2003. The findings show us the overall picture of the obstetric fistula. I am thankful to UNFPA and EngenderHealth for conducting this situation analysis. -

Follow up of at least 30 days period after surgery was done in each patient and has been found that 31.7% patients in control group (received razor shaving 24 hrs prior to surgery) and 27.5% (received razor shaving at OT table) patients in experimental group has developed surgical site infections (SSIs) and the overall infection rate was found to be 29.6%. SSIs were found to be only 1.2 fold higher in case of the patients who received razor shaving at least 24 hour prior to surgery in contrast to the patients received razor shaving at OT table. Grade IIId (18.4% and 27.3% respectively) and grade IVb (21.1% and 21.2% respectively) were found to be the most common types of surgical site infections among the gastrointestinal emergency post-surgical patients. -

South Asia @ LSE: An Indian and Bangladeshi Journey Page 1 of 3 An Indian and Bangladeshi Journey Having qualified in the UK during the late 1960s in General Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, I joined a Gandhi Peace Foundation village development programme in famine-affected Bihar (India) funded by OXFAM. I was based at Vinoba Bhave’s Samanvaya Ashram in Bodh Gaya, and worked with the ‘untouchable’ castes, named ‘Harijans’ (‘Children of God’) by Gandhi. Working with the extreme poor and helping set up an agriculture-based children’s school prepared me very well for my unexpected future life. Samanvaya Ashram, Bodh Gaya, Bihar (India), February 1970.

In early 1971, I found myself thrown into a most demanding role for a young man of 26 years. I was asked to move quickly from Bihar to Calcutta (now Kolkata) to assist in an enormous refugee relief programme which cared for refugees fleeing in terror from Bangladesh. Eventually, I had the privilege and responsibility of administering OXFAM’s relief programme for about 600,000 of the 10 million refugees who had fled from East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) to India, and were staying in the over 900 refugee camps on the border area between India and East Pakistan.

India and Bangladesh Relationship Since 1971
26 April, 2021 India and Bangladesh relationship since 1971 (The Hindu Editorial) Introduction Bangladesh and India both celebrated the golden jubilee of Bangladesh’s Independence recently, alongside the birth centenary of ‘Banghabandu’ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The creation of Bangladesh — from the ashes of East Pakistan — is presumably India’s finest foreign policy triumph till date, and it defies imagination why India has been so reticent in acknowledging this fact. The architect, India’s stand A plausible reason put forward in certain quarters is that it possibly meant acknowledging the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in this seminal event, as she is widely acknowledged to be the real architect of this triumph, notwithstanding claims put forward by many a swashbuckling General and others in uniform. It would amount to ignoring historical facts, for without Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, it is difficult to conceive of India pulling off such a triumph. As for instance when it was communicated to her during a meeting of the War Cabinet, that the U.S. Seventh Fleet (which included the nuclear powered aircraft carrier, Enterprise) was steaming up the Bay of Bengal, will hardly dispute this fact. Displaying no signs of diffidence, she made it clear that it made little difference to the cause that they had embarked upon. Few nations across the world can possibly boast of an achievement of this nature. What is even more noteworthy is that while accomplishing this task, India did not claim any ‘spoils of victory’. After Pakistan’s defeat in East Pakistan, India voluntarily and unconditionally, handed over power to the elected representatives of the newly established nation. -
CPR on Admission in Severely Injured Patients
rren Cu t R y: es r e Faruquzzaman et al., Surgery Curr Res 2012, 2:4 e a g r r c u h DOI: 10.4172/2161-1076.1000122 S Surgery: Current Research ISSN: 2161-1076 Research Article Open Access CPR on Admission in Severely Injured Patients- is it a Prognostic Factor for Evaluation of Traumatic Patients? Faruquzzaman1*, Mazumder SK2 and Rahman MM3 1Honorary Medical Officer, Surgery Unit 2 Khulna Medical College Hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh 2Director NIPSOM, Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Assistant Registrar, Surgery Unit 1 Khulna Medical College Hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh Abstract In the medical practice, the different scenarios in which cardio-respiratory resuscitation (CPR) may be applied must be taken into account. It is also critical in hospitalized patients with potentially reversible diseases, who suffer cardiac arrest as an unexpected event during their evolution. In this study, it has been found that necessity of CPR on admission reflects the worst prognosis for a traumatic patient, as it has been observed that the mortality rate is indeed hundred percent within the first 72 hours of admission. So, necessity of CPR on arrival could be a good prognostic factor in clinical practice when handling the severely injured patients. This study was conducted with a view to assess the role of CPR as a prognostic factor for the traumatic emergency patients admitted in the hospital at an emergency basis. In this study, it has been observed that on admission, 21 patients out of total 822 patients required immediate resuscitation with CPR and all of them ultimately died within 72 hours after arrival in course of the treatment. -
Searching for the Greatest Bengali: the BBC and Shifting Identity
National Identities Vol. 10, No. 2, June 2008, 149Á165 Searching for the greatest Bengali: The BBC and shifting identity categories in South Asia Reece Jones* University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Drawing on debates generated by the BBC Bengali Language Service’s naming of the greatest Bengali of all time, this article investigates the shifting boundaries between group identity categories in our ‘globalising’ world. First, the con- troversy over the meaning of the term ‘Bengali’, which emerged in contemporary Bangladesh and India in response to the BBC’s list, is investigated. Then writings and speeches of several of the individuals who were honoured as the greatest Bengalis are analysed in order to draw out the multiple ways they approached their own Bengali identities. In the conclusion, it is argued that rather than imagining the end of place-based identity categories through the process of globalisation, it is more useful to conceptualise shifting categories that continue Downloaded By: [Jones, Reece] At: 15:14 29 April 2008 to incorporate a place-based aspect, but in hybrid and contradictory ways. Keywords: categories; ethnicity; nations; globalisation; South Asia In Spring 2004, following the British Broadcasting Company’s naming of Winston Churchill as the greatest Briton of all time, the BBC Bengali Language Service conducted a survey of its twelve million listeners to determine the greatest Bengali of all time (BBC, 2004).1 Respondents were asked to rank their top five choices and in the end more than 100 individuals received votes. The top twenty were announced one per day beginning on 26 March, Bangladesh’s Independence Day, and ending on 15 April, the Bengali New Year’s Day, with the naming of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the greatest Bengali of all time. -
