And now an excellent documentray by one of the greatest directors of the film history Frank Capra. It is not necessary to agree with his view to admire the film





















And at the end another documentary series I have found in youtube about the final defeat.










This is only a video archiving that I have done with the videos I've found on http://youtube.com

To get the real idea of the history one must read books. Unfortunately there is no shortcut for that. The videos I have linked from youtube are mostly from the american and british view of interests that derived them at that time to enter the war. As we know from the history there are other parts of the facts, other debates and other discources. I never use this word "discourse"...and of course I am not using it the way it has been used by the post-modernists..but as the techno-world mostly belongs to the Imperialism, I must say the documentaries about the second world war that I have found on youtube lacks a lot about the political conspiracy to destroy socialism by USA, UK and France, what actually strengthen the Nazi's in Germany.

Victory of Bangladesh in 1971

Hessen Politics : furstration for SPD

There had been a possibility last year to have a provincial Governmet with SPD, Green and Left Allaince. Till october 2008 they was only one key member of SPD Mrs. Dagmer, who was against any sort of coalition with the Left Allaiance. But in mid-october another three members of SPD joined her to stop making any three party coalition and also to stop a mionrity Government with the support of the Left. This left phobia led to a re-election of Hessen parliament. CDU gained some of their formerly lossed seats, FDP gained couple of seats, Lefts gained some vote but the big loser was SPD and Green. Because of their four anti-left members they let CDU back in power. One year before there was a possibility to have some sort of revolutionary Government in Hessen, because of left-phobia after one year, CDU Goverment led by Roland Koch who had been strongly criticised for more than a decade for his ultra-right attitude, regained power, which could have been treated as kind of political death of SPD in Hessen. Being a student of politics, I have talked with couple of immigrant voters who are generally treated as so called SPD votebank. None of them took part in the provincial election, because as immigrants it is almost impossible for them to vote for a right wing party like CDU and at the same time they are also pissed off with SPD for their continious political plunders.

Now, probably because of the global economic crisis, CDU/FDP coalition start practicing kind of social democracy. One of the major issues against CDU in last ten years was to start collecting tution fees from the university students. The coalition declared last month that they are not going to put any tution fees in this lagislature time that means at least till january 2013.

The Left Allaince may grow quite bigger in the next couple of years but probably not big enough to form the provincial government or to lead a coaliton. That means the rightwing forces are going to controll the power politics, at least in Hessen, for another decade.

Modern times : Smokey scenes in Bangladesh 2

Are we actually going to have any elections on 18th december? This question mark is my personal and also many others reaction after the final decision by the Government today. After the end of B.N.P.'s 48 hours ultimatum the Government failed to bring two major alliances in any agreement. Although some other parties inside B.N.P. led four party alliance like Jamayat-e-Islami wanted the elections on 18th december till last week, B.N.P. has taken hard line about the schedule. There was an offer from the Government to B.N.P. to switch the election date to 28 december, which had been also opposed. On the other hand Awami League led 14 Party alliance and also the socalled greater alliance which was formed at the end of december 2006, wants the elections to be held on the fixed date at any cost.

One would find these news on newspapers, radio and tv channels. But what actually or wheather there are something else behind the cartain brings the anxiety to the people. If Emergency is withdrown before the last date of nomination paper submissions, those who have been punished by the law would be unable to join the election. If after the submission then the well known criminal faces will return, in fact many of them are already there and waiting for others to come out of jail soon. The present Government had taken hard lines against corruptions and terrorism at the very beginging. Then in last two years one can see a regular decrease in their degree of interests to do something in deed. There were big chaos before they came on 11/01/07. There was also an election shedule and the alliances were fighting almost everyday on the street. At that time B.N.P. led alliance wanted the election badly, with their manipulated voterlist, which could have been emended before the end of their time in Government till 28 October 2006. We have seen plenty of discussions between these two parties only any sort of initiatives were absent. It seemed to a silent observer like me that the socalled indirect military takeover on 11th of january 2007 had been planed by both of the parties during those lengthy and meaningless discussions. There are some similarities in the present situation. The parliament elections had to be held two years before. If we do not have any elections in december then comes the question that I asked at the begining of this post.

Like Rezwan Islam I am also worried.

AqimudDeen or AqimutTakht?

Lots of funny thing are happening in Bangladeshi politics. The funniest one, from my point of view, making big slogans for the holy reform which ends with unfinished registration of the political parties and return of the previous leadership and every evil things related. The seccond joke is the registration-affair of Jamayat-e-Islami. They have renamed their party bringing Bangladesh at the begining, which is clever, but leaving Aqimuddeen form their logo is one of the biggest jokes of the century. They would have treat it as a mutual with the reality. Then one can ask, what reality can be there which is more important than establishing Deen on earth for a muslim (according to their conception of religion)? They have removed Aqimuddeen from their logo because they want to continue their corporate part in the horribly corrupt power structure of Bangladesh.

Jamayat-e-Islami should have put Aqimuttakht on the logo to make their stand clear.

Modern times : Smoky scenes in Bangladesh 1

There had been a lot of chaos in Bangladesh as well as in the world market in last couple of weeks. As the mob concentration goes for crisis like sculpture removal from airport road and continuous threats from the religious fundamentalists which can even cause nationwide such unrest so that there will be no elections possible on 18th of December, the world economic depression goes downwards. It is quite easy to mark correlations between the chaos caused by the fundamentalists and the uncertainty of having at last an elected parliament. But to relate it with the world crisis is not that easy. It is more empirical comment than a significant hypothesis. Being an observer of the politics since late 80's, one may go for deductions like, behind every religious fundamentalist uprising there were instabilities in world market as the key factor or almost every big crisis in the world market caused provoked religious fundamentalist chaos in Bangladesh and some other countries with similar economic and political orientations.

The chaos occurred by madrassa students was surely negligible for the government if they wanted to. But they reacted as if there was a severe fundamentalist uprising on the sculpture issue. Now almost every protest against fundamentalism is suppressed by the government. These occurrences show that the government themselves want to prolong such chaos in order to, either strengthen the fundamentalist fascism as reserve forces to be used as trained killers in "right times" or to develop some unrest to postponed parliament elections and go for a long term military regime.

The question is, can Bangladesh be treated as a country with such geopolitical importance where at the moment an independent civil government might be unpleasant for Uncle Sam & co. From my point of view yes. Bangladesh is in, at the moment, geopolitically one of the most important areas. Rise of India and China and perhaps the newly elected Maoist government in Nepal, may increase the geopolitical importance to have a strong control over Bangladesh due to the hegemonic crisis in global governance. A series of forced privatization, without creating any least alternatives, had been occurred in last 7-8 years. Selling off the natural resources began actually in marshal law regime under general Ershad, but has accelerated itself in last 11-12 years. Under democratically elected governments it is almost impossible to stop or to control criticism against this type of selling off. So, from the history, it won’t be that insignificant to see such correlations.

What is to be done? To elect one of those two corrupt parties may look meaningless and also I think which is not untrue, but having another long term military fascism would be the worst choice for Bangladesh. On the other hand if BNP/AL comes into power with the orientation they presently have, there will be definitely further massacres due to religious fundamentalism which could build stronger ground for upcoming military ruling.

There must be some way out. What we need is an elected government without having sympathy for the actual sources and beneficiaries of religious fundamentalism and communalism. Stopping these two forces will remove or at least weaken the barriers of development and stronger democracy.
