Victory day 2009

Bangladesh gained independence after 9 months of a long and bloody struggle. India also commemorates victory over Pakistan on the same day in 1971 on Vijay Diwas. 

On the 16th of December millions of people in Bangladesh and Bangladeshis around the world will celebrate Victory day. On this day in 1971, the Pakistani army surrendered to the Indo-Bangladeshi High Command in Dhaka, ending a 9 month war of independence. Pakistani General AAK Niazi surrendered officially to the Allied forces commander General Arora. 

I as a Muslim, born in Britain whose parents are from Bangladesh do not celebrate this day nor regard it as a day of victory. How can their be victory and celebration when one Muslim country is divided and separated into 2 parts? 

Nationalism divides Muslims and keeps us weak while unity and regulation of society based upon Islam unites and strengthens us. 

InshAllah Pakistan will be re-unified again soon and millions of us East Pakistani Muslims make dua and work for unity again based upon the teachings of Islam and nothing else. 

Below is a poem which I wrote to mark this sad anniversary which I hope will inshAllah be the last.

At the shore the vessel suddenly heeled over and the decks were partially flooded. Many people remain locked in the holds. Currently, the site of the accident rescue work. 

According to one version, the cause of the disaster could be the overloading of the vessel. All on board were about fifteen thousand people 
more than double the allowable. 

When approaching the coast the bulk of the passengers moved to one side, resulting in centering of the vessel was broken and it turned upside down.

CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA

1. I would like to add my congratulations to the millions that Obama must have received for his great victory for the Presidency of the United States of America.




2. Only a few years ago I thought it was impossible for a man to become President of white United States, the country where the blacks used to be the slaves of the whites.


3. But attitudes have certainly changed radically among the white people. Their support for barack Obama is overwhelming.

4. There are many reasons why barack Obama managed to break through white prejudice. But President Bush has contributed much towards the acceptance of black barack Obama.

5. There was a lot about wanting to have barack Obama come in but there was more about wanting to have Bush and his ilk out. And McCain as the Republican candidate simply increased the desire of the Americans to have nothing to do with anyone even remotely identified with Bush.

6. Barack Obama made such a contrast from Bush that the voters must have felt they were voting against Bush as much as for barack Obama.

7. But barack Obama is also unfortunate. To be different from Bush in attitude and foreign policy is not going to be too difficult. But barack Obama is coming in at a time when the US and the World are experiencing the worst of economic and financial crises. While he might succeed in changing foreign policy he is not likely to be able to solve the economic and financial crises, not in the near future certainly.

8. Bail-outs are not going to work. We have seen that already. Even partial or complete nationalization of banks and other financial institutions will not really help in turning things around.

9. barack Obama will be hard put to find a solution. He has five years. If he fails it is not going to be good for the new President. Certainly it will not be good for the first black President.

10. The world will be watching. It is easier to say change than to actually change.

11. I wish him every success & the best of luck.
