Border killing continues
LETHAL weapons or not, the Border Security Force of India does not seem to be in any mood to stop the killing of Bangladeshi civilians on the border. According to a report front-paged in New Age on Sunday, the Indian border sentinels shot down four Bangladeshis in the span of 48 hours. The BSF guns had been quiet for a while, almost suggesting that India was finally living up to at least one promise. On July 30, during a joint news conference in Dhaka, the Indian home minister, Palaniappan Chidambaram, claimed that ‘we have issued strict instructions to our border security forces that under no circumstances should they fire upon anyone trying to cross from either Bangladesh to India or India to Bangladesh.’ He also asserted that the ‘message has gone down to the last jawan.’ It is not to say, however, that the killing of Bangladeshis on the border by the BSF had not taken place in the meanwhile. In fact, at one stage, it seemed that the BSF had switched to beating as a means of killing, with its members beating more Bangladeshis than on one dead.
The timing of the latest spate of killing by the BSF is also significant, came as it did in December, Bangladesh’s month of celebration, celebration of her victory in the military phase of the struggle for liberation from the clutches of the Pakistani military junta, a struggle in which India extended its helping hand to Bangladesh. It is ironical that, in the past four decades, India seems to have become Bangladesh’s greatest tormentor, with its successive governments showing varied degrees of apathy, if not antipathy, to the interest of its next-door neighbour. Border killing, suffice it to say, is among many problems with Bangladesh that India has nurtured, so to speak, in all these years: trade imbalance, demarcation of boundary, exchange of enclaves and land in adverse possession, water sharing of common rivers, the list is apparently inexhaustible.
As in other bilateral disputes, in the case of border killings, too, all that New Delhi has offered are repeated assurances that it has hardly shown any sincerity and seriousness to live up to. Regrettably still, every time that the Indian government made such assurances, they were almost immediately followed by more killing on the border. Yet, the Awami League government, which boasts of turning a corner in the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and India, has largely appeared satisfied, if not convinced, with such essentially empty assurances.
Meanwhile, the number of people killed by the BSF continues to mount. According to the human rights organisation Odhikar, the Indian border sentinels have killed 30 Bangladeshis, wounded 58 and abducted 20 on the frontier so far this year. Last year, it killed 33 and wounded 67. In other words, atrocities by the BSF along the border have hardly shown any sign of a let-up. Hence, the government needs to further assert itself and have New Delhi take decision and demonstrative actions to prevent border killing.

Nah...it's just a joke
In Bangladesh, every family has either pro this or pro that. No one is neutral unless he is crazy or in comma. So what was your family side in 71?

You cannot become native speaker of Urdu language by watching Bollywood movies. A west Bengali can watch Bollywoood movies all his life but will not speak Urdu as a native speaker. Gauranteed.
