Download or read book Forbidden Truth written by Abid Bahar PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a dynasty founded by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a Max Weberian Charismatic leader but unfortunately not a statesman who established a one-party rule, which led to a rebellion and his predictable death. Mujib died of his self-inflicted wound called BAKSAL Dictatorship. Mujib is not frozen in time; his daughter, Sheikh Hasina (the “digital dictator”), and her Awami cadres (followers) continue Mujib’s brutal BAKSAL tradition. On the parliament floor, Mujib boasted about his government’s extrajudicial killing and exclaimed, “Sheraj Shikder, where are you now?” These and other remarks by Mujib show his problems with self-discipline. Pinaki Bhattacharya, a researcher on Bangladesh politics, says, “Mujib was a great trickster.”
Download or read book Bhashani the Maulana Bhashani the Comrade written by Dewan Shamsul Arefin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Moulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani was unique in many respects. He was a political activist who had never allowed himself any respite in his political struggle since the age of 14 till he died at 91. And unlike most political leaders of our region, he was more than a politician; he was indeed a statesman with a dream to which his commitment was unflinching. Bhashani’s interest was not in gaining power for himself or his party; he did not work for electoral success, his dream was of a social revolution. That is precisely where he travelled beyond the other political leaders we have known. We Bengalis have been fortunate in having leaders of the stature of Chittaranjan Das, Subash Chandra Bose, A. K. Fazlul Haque and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, all of whom were great and unique in their own ways; but it would be neither unfair nor an exaggeration to say that Bhashani was the greatest among the great. He was a hero, not of a tragedy, but of an epic,” (written in the foreword by professor emeritus Serajul Islam Chowdhury, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in the book Moulana Bhashani Leader of the Toiling Masses, a publication of Moulana Bhashani Foundation, New York, USA).

Download or read book Refugees Borders and Identities written by Anindita Ghoshal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of Partition on refugees in East and Northeast India and their struggle for identity, space and political rights. In the wake of the legalisation of the Citizenship Amendment Act in 2019, this region remains a hotbed of identity and refugee politics. Drawing on extensive research and in-depth fieldwork, this book discusses themes of displacement, rehabilitation, discrimination and politicisation of refugees that preceded and followed the Partition of India in 1947. It portrays the crises experienced by refugees in recreating the socio-cultural milieu of the lost motherland and the consequent loss of their linguistic, cultural, economic and ethnic identities. The author also studies how the presence of the refugees shaped the conduct of politics in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura in the decades following Partition. Refugees, Borders and Identities will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of refugee studies, border studies, South Asian history, migration studies, Partition studies, sociology, anthropology, political studies, international relations and refugee studies, and for general readers of modern Indian history.

How was a regional identity consciousness redefined? Did the lineaments of politics in Bengal differ from the pattern in the rest of India? What social experiences drove the Muslim community's identity perception? How did Bengal cope with such crises as the impact of World War II, the famine of 1943 and the communal clashes that climaxed with the Calcutta riots of 1946? The author has chosen a significant period in the history of the region and draws on a wealth of sources archival and published documents, mainstream dailies, a host of rare Bengali magazines, memoirs and the literature of the time to tell his story. Looking closely at the momentous changes taking place in the region's economy, politics and socio-cultural milieu in the historically transformative years 1920-47, this book highlights myriad issues that cast a shadow on the decades that followed, arguably till our times.
Download or read book Born to Be Hanged written by Syeda Saiyidain Hameed and published by Rupa Publications. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pakistan's former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto held the reins of the country from 1971 to 1977. He was overthrown in 1977 by his Chief of Army Staff, General Zia-ul-Haq, and executed in 1979. Zia-ul-Haq ruled over Pakistan for eleven years with an iron fist, curbing all dissent until he got blown up in an air crash in 1988. In almost three decades since, Pakistan's leadership has changed hands fifteen times. An extremely controversial and confrontational politics is associated with the era of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. It is therefore not surprising that, considering his towering stature, not enough has been researched and written about the tumultuous years of his accession to power culminating in what today is best described as regicide. Syeda Hameed delves deep into the politics of Pakistan, meeting Bhutto's contemporaries, mining information from archives and letters to bring to the fore a rich yet disturbing life and times of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangladesh, the eastern half of earth’s largest delta, Bengal, is today an independent country of 163 million people. Among the 98% ethnic Bengali population, above 90 percent practice Islam. Surprisingly, Buddhism was the predominant religion of the region until the beginning of the 2nd millennium. In the midst of a long and fierce Brahman-Buddhist conflict, political Islam arrived in Bengal in the very early 13th century. Against the background of the above history, this book tells the story of successive religious and political transformations, touching upon the sensitive subject of Bengali Muslim identity. Encompassing a period of more than a millennium, it narrates a political history beginning with the independent Muslim Sultanate and closing with the 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh. The book concludes by discussing the present day, here termed “Authoritarian Secularism”.
