Apples and oranges. Syria is a significantly important country with natural resources and the media has always been quite effective on that side. Do you remember the rwanda genocide, which the media decided to ignore during the clinton administration? Bangladesh in 1971 was insignificant and...

So, according to you, how many people do you think may have been killed? Offcourse, no way to be certain, but if you had to estimate, how many would you think have been killed?

I, personally, would be sad to see America disintegrate because it has been by far the most benign empire (even considering the great war crimes it has committed systematically)that ever existed and sadly most countries don't realize it. Given the current scenario of the world, Id rather have...

On a side note: love seeing how Jews and Muslims have ganged up on the Athiests.

Atheism is an important component of communism and look at what Stalin has done. No single ideology can ever dominate the world and the intention(or one of the main intentions) to impose (forcefully) "your" ideologies on others is the main cause of wars and evils call it Islam, Hinduism...

Never underestimate the people of Bengal, be it Bengalis or Bangladeshis. Historically speaking, some of the greatest minds of the region has come off from this side which incudes Amarta Sen, Bose, Tagore, etc. Offcourse, at the moment, we are still growing and taking care of the needy, but for...

Most countries after the revolution has been worse off than better off. And, at this stage, political turmoil is the last thing any innocent average joe Bangladeshi would have on their mind. But I do agree Awami league is a complete fascist party and they should be eradicated, but it has to be...

You really think AL supporters deserves death? Heck, most AL leaders and BNP leaders share more families within themsleves than you can imagine. I was reading an article the other day how, AL and BNP leaders were fighting in the morning, and at night they went to events together. How can...

Anyone in for legalizing alcohol in Bangladesh?

haha, I strongly agree with you, but I was giving a drawing to a scenerio if the Indian claim was true.

You don't really know a lot about migration history and its natural order, do you? It is only natural that people migrate as they have throughout history and putting a price on their head will not stop it. Moreover, most of this so called illegal immigration is due to cattle trading and Hindu in...

Most travel not because of illegal immigration rather cattle trading. There is a penalty for doing illegal business, such as jail sentencing and death is not one of them. At times, this posts make me lost faith in humanity, or true consequences if India does ever become one of the regional...

There were many muslims who helped out Jews to escape. I think in Turkey and some other places.

I think the problem is that the views have been too polarized to the extent that most people don't even know what happened. You can either be pro independence or anti liberation force but some facts wont change no matter what. And, also some of the members depend heavily on forums for their...

Either you like or not, Sheikh Mujib is the founding father of Bangladesh, even BNP does not deny this simple fact. This sweet distribution story does not really justify a lot other than propaganda spread by killers of Mujib. I am not a Mujib fan whatsoever who I think has acted out of...

IMO, one of the most objective and credible book ever written

This Hasina is a disgrace not only nationally but also internationally. She has no sense of diplomacy. Even her best friend India started to alienate her on many issues, because of uncontrollable mouth.

Why did the indian government finally decide to arrest him? It should be noted that he was in India for such a long time, and there has been allegations extracted by DGFI that certain elements within the Indian government not only sympathized but even funded some of his atrocities. Why this...

Anyone who read the book "Banker to the Poor" written by Yunus knows very well that Muhith and Yunus are old school buddies. Yunus had credited Muhith a lot in the book. But I guess Muhith didn't return back the favour. I guess power changes people.

A plurality of view is a backbone of any functioning democracy. I don't support he's views nor agree with him in anyway, but arresting him for his views can have severe repercussions for other journalists who might disagree with the government or who challenge the norms.
