Ziauddin was initially head of the armed wing of Sarbahara Party.He headed it after the arrest and slaying of Siraj Sikdar. He had studied Marx well and some of his papers were appreciated by fellow communists in USSR and Albania. Taher used to maintain covert links with Maj Jalil and FF elements in BA, but I do not believe the armed wing of JSD was anything beyond a conceptual stage. Unlike Ziauddin, Taher had remained confused about Marxist theories, and till the end he was hoping he would be able to bring Jalil, Kader Siddiqui and Ziauddin under one forum which he would lead. Little did he realize that Siddiqui and Ziauddin were poles apart in their dogma. All along he had made frantic efforts to contact Ziauddin and Siddiqui but had failed.
My impression about Bangladesh landmass history and possible future goes like this:
- in 1947 Pakistan was created to avoid majority Hindu rule in Muslim majority regions of South Asia
- right away India's first priority became finding ways to break Pakistan (separation of two wings), to reduce the threat from the largest Muslim country in the world on its border from many sides
- brainwashing with alleged economic exploitation story starts on two fronts of leaders:
a) captitalists led by Mujib in Awami League and Army officers like Zia
b) Communists and socialists in latent future JSD members in AL such as Inu, leaders of other parties such as Bhashani and Army officers such as Jalil, Taher, Ziauddin et al
- with 6 point autonomy demand and the 1970 election, things comes to a crisis and civil war breaks out
- Taher, Ziauddin, Bhashani, Zia et al opted for independence (Mujib did not), only I think Mohd. Toaha (a Chinese leaning communist) and of course JeI leaders opposed the drive for independence
- Mujib comes back from Pakistan, takes control and start suppressing socialist and communist "Freedom Fighters", around 40,000 were killed, Ziauddin then went underground as a leader of the Sorbohara Party (led by late Shiraj Shikder)
- Mujib gets killed by right wing officers and political leaders like Moshtaque both of whom had limited grass roots or army soldier support, so they get toppled by India leaning Gen. Khaled Mosharraf
- Col. Taher and Ziauddin were planning a revolution long before Mujib killing (most Army soldiers a large portion of whom were "Freedom Fighters" were their followers)
- When Zia gets arrested by Khaled and asks for help to Taher, Taher and Ziauddin engineer the Sepahi rebellion, killing many officers as well as Khaled in cross fire
- Taher saves Major Zia, trusts him and gives him the top post
- Zia, fearing Taher's clout and the momentum of the socialist revolution, executes him and starts a right wing counter revolution
- there were 30 coups under Zia as a consequence of above, many officers and soldiers were executed, finally Zia is killed by Gen. Manjur (a friend of Taher) or his associates
- Inu and others who were socialist followers of Maj. Jalil and Col. Taher, joined AL eventually strengthening AL party grass roots support
- Gen. Moeen I heard is also another follower of Col. Taher, a former socialist/communist, who engineered the 1/11 coup to oust KZ and bring Hasina back to power
It seems to me that due to intimate knowledge of the political scene in East Pakistan and Bangladesh, India, its intelligence agencies and their overt or covert activists were able to fully utilize and capitalize on the ideological and partisan divisions within the political, Armed forces and bureaucratic classes.
Mujib was never very bright, so his performance was expected. Zia, I believe made a crucial mistake by eliminating Taher. Taher trusted Zia and if Zia could trust him back, in my personal opinion, it was possible that we could have a different more stable, independent and sovereign Bangladesh today. And Indian agents were present every step of the way to capitalize on these crucial mistakes.
Zia allowed Hasina back in and all he had to do was keep her out, but he was too confident. His confidence and fool hardiness eventually killed him. Ershad people say is a high level RAW agent. Khaleda Zia was in power for 10 years in 2 terms, but she was not bright to enough to see through the game India was playing. For example she created RAB and killed her own loyal cadres in the name of US supported War on Terror. I suspect Indian agents engineered this from behind the scenes.
First they brainwashed East Pakistani's about language (West Pakistani's are trying to take away their mother tongue), then came the economic exploitation story blowing it out of proportion (Tilke Tal kora) and finally in 1971, Pakistan Armed forces are killing our people (people did get killed out of callousness but the main effort I believe was about trying to clean the land from Indian agents and saboteurs).
Essentially East Pakistan and its population and their leaders fell for Indian tricks and was fooled by the carrot of this so called "independence". In reality they became Indian slaves under Indian boots, which has become crystal clear after latest fake election saga.
Now what, well I believe Bangladeshi leaders who still dream to get out of clutches of India, the only way left is to go back to Pakistan, mend the ties with them and ask their help to bring in China in this landmass to drive out India. China will not come here on their own, but if Pakistan can convince them, they just might take this step, together with their trusted ally. But it will take time, things will have to develop over decades in a 15-30 years time frame. The US will wake up from their dream of Asian hegemony and leave the East Asian landmass eventually (Japan and Philippines will be their last outposts) in that time frame. China will then reign supreme in this region hopefully and will be able to reshape much of the political landscape to the East of Bangladesh in all of South East Asia, reducing Indian influence/occupation in this area and eventually kicking out Indian agents from power in Bangladesh.
