To summarize Mahfuj Alam's thought - Chittaranjan Das and Sarat Bose and Suhrawardy and so on, all wanted a united independent greater Bengal. One of the goals of the Lahore Resolution was to establish such a state. While lower caste Hindus in Bengal supported the Lahore Resolution, reactionary Hindu upper castes, Congress, HIndu Mahasabha, etc. sabotaged this; . So the Partition of 1947 and the 1971 liberation from West Pakistan were two necessary detours in this goal of an independent greater Bengal. The revolution of 2024 is the next step in this evolution.

A brief summary will introduce some distortion, but I think this is accurate enough.

The Bangladesh Navy Ship (BNS) Samudra Joy departed the Chittagong naval jetty on Sunday to participate in the Exercise Aman-2025, which will be held in Karachi, Pakistan, from February 7 to February 11, 2025.






The Bangladesh Navy Ship (BNS) Samudra Joy departed the Chittagong naval jetty on Sunday to participate in the Exercise Aman-2025, which will be held in Karachi, Pakistan, from February 7 to February 11, 2025.

As the ship left the jetty, it was given a formal farewell according to the traditional customs of the Navy, with a ceremonial band performance.

Senior local naval officers and families of the officers and sailors departing on the mission were present at the departure ceremony.

From the newspapers - usually reliable ones :

Exercise Aman-2025: Where Navies Come to Bounce:
- Exercise Aman-2025, the multinational naval exercise hosted by Pakistan : Details-
- This year's exercise features a new component: "Rebounding," a high-intensity trampolining workout designed to improve sailors' agility and core strength.

The Bangladesh Navy Ship (BNS) Samudra Joy, which is going to arrive in Karachi on Sunday, will be the first to take the rebounding challenge. Sailors from participating nations, including the US, China, and Russia, gathered to watch the Bangladeshis bounce their way to naval supremacy.

"It's not just about the trampolines," said Captain Rashid of the BNS Samudra Joy. "It's about trust, teamwork, and not face-planting in front of your colleagues."

The rebounding competition was just one part of Exercise Aman-2025, which also included more traditional naval exercises like ship-to-ship combat and maritime security drills...

But IMO be real, folks – the real action is going to be on the trampolines.
Who knew naval warfare could be so bouncy ?

IMO, the Bangla political universe has a divide - those that realize a working relationship with India is necessary, and those that want unconditional hostility like that of Pakistan. The lot currently in charge are the latter camp. They will do anti-Hindu riots, provoke border incidents, do bhai-bhai with Pakistan, talk of expanding Bangladesh’s borders, etc., to force the issue.

Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus said that Bangladesh's media currently has unparalleled freedom, but a flood of misinformation is sweeping across social media platforms.

He made these remarks during a meeting with leaders from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) on Wednesday, who were in Bangladesh to discuss efforts in economic restructuring, tackling illicit financial flows, combating misinformation, and implementing critical reforms.

The delegation, led by OSF Chairman Alex Soros and President Binaifer Nowrojee expressed their support for the interim government’s reform agenda.

When seemingly unending political street-battles gripped Bangladesh in late 2006, the United Nations pushed the country’s military in a circuitous way to take over the administration, brazenly violating its own charter that bars the world institution from interfering in any member state’s internal affairs.


The UN coerced the reluctant Bangalee generals by threatening them with the loss of their participation in international peacekeeping jobs, which are highly prized by Bangladesh’s armed forces. On 11 January 2007, the military grudgingly agreed to rule the country from behind the scenes and created a facade of a civilian administration with an ailing president and a rubber-stamp council of advisers, who acted as cabinet ministers. This unprecedented political posture was dubbed as “one-eleven” in Bangladesh, mimicking “nine-eleven” in the United States.

Pulling strings from behind, the generals in collusion with some “halftelactuals,” or the so-called intellectuals-cum-civil-society thinkers, drew up a misguided agenda; they hatched a plan to send into exile the “two ladies,” the two former prime ministers who lead the country’s two main political parties. In essence, the army sought to send Sheikh Hasina, daughter of the nation’s founding president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and Khaleda Zia, widow of another assassinated president, General Ziaur Rahman, into political oblivion. This experiment, which came to be known in popular parlance in Bangladesh as the “minus two” theory, was an apparent attempt to rid the nation of 165 million people of its dysfunctional dynastic rule.

The generals initially invited 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner professor Mohammad Yunus to run the military-backed regime, but the U.S.-trained economist-turned-microfinance-pioneer declined to swallow the bait. He realized the peril of assuming state power with the help of the khakis. But he eventually succumbed to the temptation and decided to throw his prestige into the messy ring of Bangalee politics, committing the gravest blunder of his life yet. In his game plan, the Nobel laureate counted on his eighty-five million soldiers of Grameen Bank to serve as vanguards of his political revolution and crown him with victory. By doing so, he grossly miscalculated the intrinsic power of the politicians who are backed by indoctrinated, die-hard cadres and well-established political machinery.

sam the pitroda says why are you stopping soros, let him do his thing and you do your thing

Sam Pitroda, the Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress and Congress scion Rahul Gandhi’s close aide, has defended Hungarian-American billionaire and regime-change enthusiast George Soros. Notably, Soros is notorious for funding anti-India activities and advancing anti-India narratives, which are aimed at undermining the democratically elected government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pitroda defended Soros’s interference in Indian affairs while lamenting how the ‘civil society’ is not being allowed to operate in India.

In a virtual meeting hosted by Overseas Congress general secretary (West Coast) Shanmugavel Shankaran on 4th January, Sam Pitroda spoke about the supposed decline in civil engagement and claimed that civil society is “not allowed” to function in several cases.

“In India if you want to send donation from America to any NGO, it is a major task. I don’t know why it is that complicated. But it is. Because everybody is afraid. Look at the kind of attacks you have on [George] Soros. I don’t make sense to me. He [Soros] is doing his stuff, you do you stuff. You cannot agree with him that’s okay. But you can’t say he is interfering in India and doing this and doing that. But that’s how our discourse is,” Pitroda said.


Well now we know who is funding congress and rahul, sonia dynasty

Regarding reports of a potential ban on the Awami League, Nahid remarked that the government has not yet reached a conclusion. He noted that legal proceedings are ongoing and expressed a desire to wait for the tribunal's judgment.

"The court's opinion is crucial, and there are also political discussions surrounding this issue," he added. '

Nahid emphasized that the matter is not solely legal but also political.

From a personal perspective, Nahid said that the Awami League, after having exercised what he called fascism for 15 years and being involved in the July-August genocide, should not be allowed to continue political activities in Bangladesh.

"We believe the Awami League should not have the opportunity to engage in politics under its current name and banner," he said.

Pre-Sheikh Hasina, in 2000, Bangladesh poverty rate was 48.9%. ( World Bank https://documents1.worldbank.org/curate ... uction.pdf )

Post-Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh poverty rate is 19.2% (today's Dhaka Tribute https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh ... ow-poverty)

What happened in between? Aha! but for Sheikh Hasina and Indian Hindutva fascist interference, the poverty rate in Bangladesh would have been -101%, the only country in the world with a negative poverty rate.

TONGI, Bangladesh (AP) — Tens of thousands of people gathered on a riverbank near Bangladesh’s capital on Friday to listen to sermons by Islamic scholars at the Biswa Ijtema, or global congregation of Muslim devotees.

The three-day annual event will end Sunday when hundreds of thousands of Muslims are expected to join final prayers like every year. This is the first phase of Biswa Ijtema, while the second phase will be held Feb. 3-5. The third phase will be held Feb. 14-16.

Biswa Ijtema is one of the largest gatherings of Muslim devotees, held on the sandy banks of the Turag River in Tongi, just north of Dhaka, the capital. The event dates back to the 1950s when the Tablighi Jamaat movement started hosting the event.

About 2,150 foreign Muslims from 72 countries were among the tens of thousands of Bangladeshis who joined the first phase of the congregation, said Habibullah Raihan, a spokesman of the organizing committee.

He said that scholars and clerics from India, Pakistan and other countries delivered their sermons on the tenants of Islam as the devotees slept in tents erected on the riverbank.

now this event, the biswa ijtema, is the second largest congregation of mohemeddans annually just after the annual pilgrimage to iraq every year by the shiities, and quite ahead in terms of gathered capacity than the annual hajj, and it is organised by the tablighi jamaat, and was started in 1946



place at the topmost of the image

one of the largest peaceful gatherings in the world, and the second-largest Muslim gathering, with 5 million adherents,[2] after the Arba'een Pilgrimage's 15–20 million attendees in Iraq,[3] both surpassing the 2–3 million worshipers who participate in the Hajj


In 1946, the first annual conference of Tablighi Jamaat or Ijtema in the region what today called Bangladesh was held at Kakrail Mosque near Ramna Park in Dhaka.[13] In 1954, after the Bengali Tabhlighi Jamaat movement officially started their activities in Dhaka, East Bengal,[1] the first Ijtemas were organized by them at Haji Camp in Chittagong (1954)[13] and in Siddhirganj, Narayanganj (1958),[13] followed by Ijtemas at the old venue of Ramna Race Course in Dhaka in 1960, 1962 and 1965.[1] In 1967, Due to the increasing numbers of participants, the government of East Pakistan allowed organizers to schedule the event annually in the current venue at Pagar village field in Tongi by the River Turag.[13][1] Since then, the event became known as the "Bishwa Ijtema", attendees from different countries of the world took part.[13] Before this, the it was simply called "Ijtema". From 1972 onwards, the Bishwa Ijtema is being held in the large open field of 160 acre, along the north-eastern bank of the River Turag (Qahar Darya), allotted by the Government of Bangladesh.[

some recent news

In December 2024, clashes broke out at the venue between the factions of Tablighi Jamaat headed by Maulana Zubair Ahmed, imam of the Kakrail mosque & Maulana Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi, which lead to the death of 8 & injuring 50 others. The venue had to be emptied by the police & military personnel. Followers of Ahmed have demanded that the interim government declare the followers of Kandhalvi to be a 'terrorist organisation'.

now kandhalvi is a head of his own version of the tablighi, and this split in the tj seems to be of a recent variety, occurring in 2015-16

according to The Milli Gazette, the senior members of the Tablighi Jamaat from around the world met at the Pakistan regional markaz at Raiwind in 2015 and resolved that the organisation would be governed by a shura. Raiwind amir Muhammad Abdul Wahhab who was a member of the original shura backed this effort.[3][15] Kandhlawi did not accept the recommendations of the meeting, causing a split in the organisation.[3]

The friction led to division of the Tablighi Jamaat leadership into two groups, the first being led by Muhammad Saad Kandhlawi at the Nizamuddin Markaz, while the other being led by Ibrahim Dewla, Ahmed Laat and others at Nerul Markaz, Navi Mumbai in India.[16] The Raiwind Markaz in Pakistan is part of the latter group and has become the "de facto base" of the shura group.

CBI arrests army jawan for creating fake documents for Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals for paramilitary jobs
Current | 02 February 2025
Own Correspondent, Kolkata: An army jawan has been arrested by the CBI on charges of preparing fake domicile certificates (local residents) and other documents in exchange for money for a job in the Central Paramilitary Forces (CAPF). Mahesh Kumar Chowdhury was arrested from Kankinara area of ​​North 24 Parganas on Friday night. The jawan, who works in the engineering department of the army, allegedly earned lakhs of rupees by preparing fake certificates. Efforts are on to find out where he invested this money. At the same time, a search is on for an associate of the soldier.


A resident of Kolkata named Bishnu Chowdhury complained in the High Court that there was a big scam in the recruitment of CAPFs. Even agents of the Pakistani spy agency ISI were appointed in the paramilitary forces. Fake domicile certificates, fake mark sheets of educational qualifications were submitted. These were procured by foreign nationals. By submitting these documents, they are working in the paramilitary forces. The High Court ordered a CBI investigation.


After registering a case, the CBI came to know that the main mastermind behind the fake documents is army personnel Mahesh. He has several agents in the border area. Infiltrating Bangladeshis are in touch with them. Even Pakistani ISI officers in Bangladesh are in touch. The accused army personnel has given voter, Aadhaar and educational qualification certificates to some Bangladeshi and Pakistani citizens. Domicile certificates have also been made to prove their residency in Bengal. At the same time, citizens of other states have also bought domicile certificates from the army personnel to get jobs. He is alleged to have taken 10 to 20 lakh rupees for this. This soldier had opened a factory at home to make fake documents. Mahesh used to send these fake certificates through agents. He was arrested after information was gathered against him. However, his accomplice Raju Gupta is absconding. Mahesh told during interrogation that he has been making and selling these fake documents for the past five years. Through him, a large number of youth have got jobs in the paramilitary forces. Work is underway to identify those involved. In addition, investigators are trying to find out the names of any ISI agents in the paramilitary forces.
