Kansat Carnage
People of this land have glorious history
of embracing martyrdom for language, independence and democracy. But
for the first time, people laid down their lives for electricity.
Perhaps, this is the only such precedent in the world history. The
history was written by people of Kansat in Chapainawabganj district.
At least nine people were killed and 300 others wounded in police
firing on January 4 and 23.
Protests continued for over a week in 10 unions following the
killings. The situation remained out of control of the
administration. The administration also did not take proper steps
although Sona Masjid, the second largest land port of the country,
remained inoperative due to protests and barricades put up by the
angry people.full report

Times Past: Thoughts on Tatas Investment

Bangladesh-India economic relations during the early
years were not outside the influence of overall relationship between the two
countries. It was a period when broader relationship was evolving over a wide
range of often closely interdependent issues. Successful negotiations in some
areas helped in other areas and the same was true with failures.
These relations, in general, remained throughout a complex one, fluctuating
between being very close and intimate at certain times or not so close at
certain other times or in some other issues. This complexity had an added
dimension. Some viewed this as not very appreciative, if not ungrateful, for all
the assistances provided and sacrifices made by them Indians during our War of
Liberation from Pakistan in 1971.full report
