The revisionist history denies the secular basis of our national identity and distorts the historical process which led to our independence. The revisionists revive the atavistic communal nationalism whose utility had ended with the departure of the British colonial rule. They re-write the war of independence as military engagement primarily and deny or denigrate the role of the people. The revisionist history does enormous disservice to the nation: it stunts the articulation of democracy based on the sovereignty of the people and encourages resurgence of communal politics. Militant fundamentalism and authoritarianism are the worst consequences of revisionist history and resurgence of communal politics.
Among my personal list of urgent institutional and structural reforms, are three sets of targets. With attention to these targets, we can build a platform for stability and compromise, by establishing fair, transparent and accountable governance and improving human security, rule of law, and respect for the individual. The first set of targets aims at replacing, gradually and over time, Andolan politics with responsive and responsible government based on functioning political institutions.
However, some changes in the attitude and behavior of the donors toward parliament can be noticed in recent years. A part of democracy assistance is now almost being routinely earmarked for strengthening parliament. In absolute terms, the increase can be seen as significant, although the share of parliament assistance of the total democracy aid budget still remains negligible. Moreover, parliament development programs now span the globe. More governments and organizations, as explained in a subsequent section,
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge here the support of the members of my family and friends in the completion of this project. My wife, Nargis, and son-in-law, Shumon, shoulder some credit in offering criticism on some political issues from the point of view of an expatriate of Bangladesh origin. Our daughters, Verna and Mona, have checked the language of several articles with interest.
However, the foundation of the All India Muslim League (AIML) in 1906 in Dhaka was a landmark in Muslim politics in India as well as in Bengal. Although for three decades from its inception the League remained an elitist body, it was the first attempt to organise an all-India Muslim political community. Except for certain years, a provincial League was in existence in Bengal throughout the period. The following is an attempt to make a brief study of the nature and activity of the Bengal Muslim League. The study will further focus on aspects such as its stages of growth, the nature of its leadership and its relationships with the parent all-India body (i.e. AIML) and other parties in Bengal, always bringing out the policy dilemma fragmenting the Bengali Muslim community. The whole 1906-1936 period is divided into five phases.
General Ziaur Rahman spent the last day of his life in Chittagong trying to clean the political dirt that his party had kicked up in that city. As Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong, I had the misfortune to watch his final day in Chittagong, and experience personally the trauma of a mayhem that began with his assassination, and ended with the killing of Maj. Gen. Manzoor, the alleged leader of the assassins. The events were particularly more agonising for me as I had come to know the two victims personally since the formative days of Bangladesh, and had the opportunity of knowing them more through work.

A Complete Biography of Abraham Lincoln is a grappling account of the various stands that Lincoln took during his tenure as the sixteenth American President, lingering upon the circumstances that arose during the Civil War. Beginning with Abraham Lincoln’s early life in Kentucky and Illinois, A Complete Biography of Abraham Lincoln traces the various paths that his life took, right up until his death. Lincoln was living in near poverty, and the transformation from destitution to power and fame is admirable. The book provides interesting glimpses of the diplomacy and weaknesses of this great man. An important feature of this book is that it starts well before the Civil War, leading up to it in a precise and lucid manner, which clearly shows all the reasons that actually caused the war in the first place. The book does well to highlight the humane and compassionate nature of Lincoln, explaining the way he brought forth the Emancipation Proclamation, which laid the foundation for the Thirteenth Amendment, ultimately abolishing slavery. The role Lincoln played in saving the Union, and the reasons for a number of his actions until his untimely and catastrophic assassination are provided in diligent detail. A Complete Biography of Abraham Lincoln does a masterful job of portraying Lincoln’s life as a leader and one of the best presidents America has had. At the same time, it also highlights the bureaucratic troubles that occur within the four walls of any government, and how even Lincoln was sometimes prey to them.
