SELF-DETERMINATION OUTSIDE the COLONIAL CONTEXT: the BIRTH of BANGLADESH in Retrospectt
SELF-DETERMINATION OUTSIDE THE COLONIAL CONTEXT: THE BIRTH OF BANGLADESH IN RETROSPECTt By VedP. Nanda* I. INTRODUCTION In the aftermath of the Indo-Pakistan War in December 1971, the independent nation-state of Bangladesh was born.' Within the next four months, more than fifty countries had formally recognized the new nation.2 As India's military intervention was primarily responsible for the success of the secessionist movement in what was then known as East Pakistan, and for the creation of a new political entity on the inter- national scene,3 many serious questions stemming from this historic event remain unresolved for the international lawyer. For example: (1) What is the continuing validity of Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter?4 (2) What is the current status of the doctrine of humanita- rian intervention in international law?5 (3) What action could the United Nations have taken to avert the Bangladesh crisis?6 (4) What measures are necessary to prevent such tragic occurrences in the fu- ture?7 and (5) What relationship exists between the principle of self- "- This paper is an adapted version of a chapter that will appear in Y.

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. -
'Ship and Birth of a New Nation in South Asia (Reflections on Smt
Karatoya: NBU J. Hist. Vol. 6 :117-127 (2013) ISSN: 2229-4880 States'woman 'ship and Birth of a New Nation in South Asia (Reflections on Smt. Indira Gandhi's role in the emergence of Bangladesh) lchhimuddin Sarkar• Introduction-birth of a 'New Nation', -a glorious but painful history: Since the inception of Bangladesh as a People's Republic on December 16, 1971 and so far as the various stages of the anniversaries of its liberation war are concerned, it is perhaps incorrect to say that Bangladesh still does not have an authoritative and exhaustive history of its liberation war. Rather one can see that this particular event and many aspects of this war have been studied by scholars from different dimensions. The incapability to investigate the earlier years leading to this event is over and not only from economic and political point of view but from psychological stand point the birth of this nation has been studied extensively by the scholars. The fact remains that the war of 1971 appears in history as the logical outcome of the previous two decades, and not as merely an accidental event of South Asian history. Bangladesh is now an independent and sovereign state- though birth of this new nation is glorious and painful. Because millions of lives were lost and many became destitutes and Sonar Bang/a (Golden Bengal) was horribly reduced to a land of debris and devastations. But out of this pathetic scene a new nation came into existence and its inception definitely made a mark in the South Asian history and politics. -
Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali Language
Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: BGD30821 Country: Bangladesh Date: 8 November 2006 Keywords: Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali language This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? 3. Is the Awami League traditionally supported by the Hindus in Bangladesh? 4. Are Hindu supporters of the Awami League discriminated against and if so, by whom? 5. Are there parts of Bangladesh where Hindus enjoy more safety? 6. Is Bengali the language of Bangladeshis? RESPONSE 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? Hindus constitute approximately 10 percent of the population in Bangladesh making them a religious minority. Sunni Muslims constitute around 88 percent of the population and Buddhists and Christians make up the remainder of the religious minorities. The Hindu minority in Bangladesh has progressively diminished since partition in 1947 from approximately 25 percent of the population to its current 10 percent (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report for 2006 – Bangladesh, 15 September – Attachment 1). 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? In general, minorities in Bangladesh have been consistently mistreated by the government and Islamist extremists. Specific discrimination against the Hindu minority intensified immediately following the 2001 national elections when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gained victory with its four-party coalition government, including two Islamic parties. -

The Relations of the Mughal Empire with the Ahmadnagar Kingdom (1526-1636)
THE RELATIONS OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE WITH THE AHMADNAGAR KINGDOM (1526-1636) Thesis Submited foe tke *Degcee of Doctor (X Philosophy IN fflSTQRY BY MOHO. SIRAJ ANWAR SUPERVISOR Professor Iqtidar Alam Khan CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 / f ; : ^ iO.i/1 - 1 3;rf;p ifl«(^ ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the sixteenth century the relations between the power ruling over North India, namely, the Lodi Empire and the Deccan kingdoms were generally at a very low key. But it is, of course, true that the Deccani kingdoms were not indifferent to the situation in the North. The sending of congratulatory letters to Babur by trte rulers of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur and Berar, on his success in 1526, goes to testify their eagerness to win favour with any ruler who appeared to gaining an upper hand in North India. Among them Ahmadnagar seemed to be particularly responsive to the developing political scenario in the North. The short term consideration of the Ahmadnagar Kingdom in cultivating friendly ties with the Mughals from the very beginning of their rule down to the end of Humayun's reign, and also with the Surs during their short lived rule over North India, was possibly that their military pressure on Malwa and Gujarat would render the latter two states less belligerent towards Ahmadnagar. But at the same time it should not be overlooked that from 1535 onwards Humayun appeared to be interested in extending his influence, if not actual rule, over Khandesh and Ahmadnagar which is borne out by his correspondence with Burhan Nizam Shah I as well as his making, while returning to Mandu from Ahmadabad, a detour across Khandesh. -

Remembered Villages • 319
Remembered Villages • 319 gender though one would suspect, from the style of writing, that with the exception of one, the essays were written by men. The authors recount their memories of their native villages—sixty-seven in all—of East Bengal belonging to some eighteen districts. Written in the aftermath of parti- tion, these essays capture the sense of tragedy that the division of the country represented to these authors. This attitude was more Hindu 16 than Muslim, for to many if not most of the Muslims of East Pakistan, 1947 was not only about partition, it was also about freedom, from both the British and the Hindu ruling classes.4 Remembered Villages My aim is to understand the structure of sentiments expressed in these essays. One should remember the context. There is no getting Representations of Hindu-Bengali Memories around the fact that partition was traumatic for those who had to leave in the Aftermath of the Partition their homes. Stories and incidents of sexual harassment and degradation of women, of forced eviction, of physical violence and humiliation marked their experience. The Hindu Bengali refugees who wrote these essays DIPESH CHAKRABARTY had to make a new life in the difficult circumstances of the overcrowded city of Calcutta. Much of the story of their attempts to settle down in the different suburbs of Calcutta is about squatting on government or privately owned land and about reactive violence by the police and landlords.5 emory is a complex phenomenon that reaches out to far beyond The sudden influx of thousands of people into a city where the services what normally constitutes an historian's archives, for memory were already stretched to their limits, could not have been a welcome is much more than what the mind can remember or what event. -

Dr. Md. Morshedul Islam Associate Professor, Department of Law, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The role of opposition is as much significant as that of treasury bench in democracy. Opposition operates a shadow government under parliamentary form of government. For the working of secularized political culture there is no alternative to the nourishment of healthy opposition. That means the existence of sound and smooth opposition is the prerequisite of democratic government. Although Bangladesh adopted westminister form of government in 1972 constitution but the governments therein from the birth of Bangladesh termed the opposition as bottleneck and threat to their peaceful governance. Awami League government from 1972 to 1975 brought several amendments to the 1972 Bangladesh Constitution for the suppression of opposition so that her freestyle rule remained unchecked. This article reveals why and under what circumstances government inserted 2 nd Amendment in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to arrest opposition voice in the name of democracy. Keywords: Democracy, Democratic government, Opposition, Opposition movement, Bangladesh Constitution, Amendment. 1. INTRODUCTION: Commonwealth is a march of God on earth. (Hobbes, 1949) It has come into existence for the protection of life, liberty, and property of the people. (Locke, 1962) If these are not available to the people the state loses it’s democratic potentiality. Statehood is reflected in the positive activities of the government. -
