While manking Bangla official language of UN is only symbolic but what Awami regime actually doing to preserve Bangla and Bangladeshi culture?

1) Allowing Shahrukh Khan and bollywood to conduct open vulgar show in Bangladesh.
2) Awami regime allowed to screen Indian bollywood film in Bangladesh theater,
3) Bangladeshi singer and artists were kept at bay while indian artists allowed to take away untaxed currency from Bangladesh.
4) Un controlled broadcast of indian tv program and serials are causing social problem eve teasing and abuse.

List goes on.....

Awami regime is cutting root of Bangla and Bangladeshi culture by allowing indian vulgarity yet trying to deceive Bangladeshis or at least few by UN official language crap.

Now, few Awami fanboy would come up with extremist label but I and many Bangladeshis enjoyed Americal TV series and movies for long long time. American shows and movies never caused such social problems and deseases. That goes to show how dangerous indian movie and Tv shows are; not only for Bangladesh but also for indians.

Shahrukh Khan's vulgar show in Bangladesh

by Srabanti Majumder
December 12, 2010



Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan dancing with semi-nude Russian girls at Dhaka Army Stadium


People call him 'King Khan of Bollywood'! I would rather call him 'King of vulgarity'. The way he appeared in front of roughly 25,000 people at Dhaka's Army Stadium on December 10, 2010, which was also watched LIVE by millions of TV spectators, as Bangladeshi channel Boishakhi got this show on their LIVE broadcast, most of the time, the elders in the family were feeling so uncomfortable, when half nude Russian girls were exhibiting exposed bodies to public in the name of dancing. And of course, I felt ashamed for those Bangladeshi flop actresses like Shimla, who went at the Army Stadium wearing a Western type dress, almost exposing her body. I am sure; she wanted to get into the attention of Shahrukh Khan, hoping he would pick her up for any of his future shows anywhere in the world, where Shahrukh would love to lead the role of ring-master of a group of mere ****-star category performers.

And, Shahrukh Khan has shown his highest audacity to Bangladesh by uttering Bangla slang repeatedly while on the dais, which very clearly showed that this man has no respect for the host country, that brought him with huge amount of money [US$ 200,000]. During the month of liberation, Shahrukh Khan was trying to impose Hindi or English language on proud Bangladeshis. This was another huge audacity of this man.

Now let us look through the gross irregularities both by Shahrukh Khan and the local organizer of the event - Antar Showbiz:

1. To justify the reason, Swapan Chowdhury of Antar Showbiz repeatedly told Bangladeshi media that, Shahrukh Khan will vote for Sunderban during this visit and make an appeal to the world for voting in favor of Sunderban, which is the largest mangrove forest in the world. But, in reality, Shahrukh did nothing! This was a clear blackmailing attempt of Swapan Chowdhury, for which he should be definitely punished.

2. Swapan Chowdhury made public promises by calling press conference that, two sculptures of Shahrukh made by two poor rural students [both Hindus] in Bangladesh would be put on auction and the entire money received from the auction would be donated for education of these two poor brothers. On the day of the event, these two poor boys were waiting at the green-room of the dais for hours hoping Shahrukh Khan will do something in their favor and put the sculptures in auction. But, in reality, instead of doing that, the Bollywood Khan very shamelessly took both the sculptures with him as 'gift' without paying even a single bucks to the boys. The event organizer also did not pay anything. This was a huge deception both by Shahrukh and his organizers.

3. The organizers paid Valued Added Tax to the Bangladesh government for 15,000 spectators at the Army Stadium, while it was later even confessed by Swapan Chowdhury that, more than 27,000 tickets were sold.

4. Shahrukh Khan alone received US$ 200,000 for the show, while another significant amount of money was paid to other members of the team. Antar Showbiz mostly smuggled the amount through illegal means, which is a serious crime under Money Laundering Act of Bangladesh.

5. Indecent things took place at Dhaka's hotels, where the team members of Shahrukh Khan were housed [those females, especially Russian girls], who were reportedly engaged in illicit activities with the locals. It may be mentioned here that, most of the Russian girls, who accompanied the entourage of Khan are suspected to be sex-workers in Mumbai.

6. Shahrukh Khan violated Bangladeshi law by smoking in public in presence of TV cameras. Should he be even able doing this in India? No way! But, Shahrukh Khan did this, rather intentionally to show to Bangladeshi authorities that, he gives a damn to them.

7. Shahrukh Khan was allowed to use the VVIP terminal at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. After checking facts, it is proved that, he does not enjoy any such privilege in any of the countries in the world, including his own country – India. It is a natural question as to why Bangladeshi government allowed Shahrukh Khan to use the VVIP terminal, when there were a number of VIP terminals at the airport? Who is the people showing over-enthusiasm in this matter?

The entire issue of this event should be immediately investigated for the sake of dignity of Bangladesh. Event organizer Swapan Chowdhury should be questioned for such series of illegal activities, including semi-nude show in the country during the month of liberation.

Bangladesh lifts ban on Indian films

Apr 24 02:03 PM US/Eastern

Bangladesh has lifted a four-decade ban on Indian films in a bid to boost attendance at cinemas, a government minister said Saturday, drawing loud complaints from local actors and directors.
Films produced by India's huge Bollywood entertainment industry have been banned from Bangladesh's cinemas since 1972, a year after the country's independence, to protect the local movie industry.

"We lifted the ban to boost the cinema industry," Bangladesh Commerce Minister Faruk Khan told AFP.

Cinema hall owners, who have been clamouring to be allowed to show Indian films, said they expected to start showing Indian films shortly.

Kazi Firoz Rashid, president of Bangladesh Cinema Halls Owners Association, said the government's decision was "the best thing to have happened" to the country's cinemas.

The number of cinema theatres has slid to 600 in 2010 from 1,600 in 2000 in the country with Bangladeshi films and soft-**** English-language films shown in movie houses failing to draw viewers.

"Film enthusiasts can easily see good Indian films on cable television so why should we stop Indian films being screened in our cinemas?" Rashid said.

"By contrast, the standards, scripts and production of Bangladeshi films are so stale and poor they have trouble winning hearts or making enough money," he said.

Pirated DVD copies of Bollywood movies circulate widely in Bangladesh in the absence of them being shown in cinemas and the films are hugely popular.

The lifting of the ban comes amid warming relations between India and Bangladesh after ties worsened between the neighbours when an Islamist-allied government was in power in Dhaka from 2001 to 2006.

"The new order scraps the ban and allows screening of Indian and other South Asian films in local cinemas provided they have English subtitles," the government's Film Censor Board chief Surat Kumar Sarker said.

But not everyone supports the move.

"Indian films will completely destroy our film industry and our culture. At least 25,000 people will be jobless," said Masum Parvez Rubel, a leading star and a co-coordinator of a newly created front against Indian films.

"We have appealed to the commerce minister and the authorities to reverse the decision. Otherwise, we'll protest until the last drop of blood," he told AFP.

India's prolific film industry churns out about 1,000 new releases a year.
