[Reader-list] Fwd: Films from Bangladesh

[MRSG]

Dear Yousuf,
I have not seen the films  mentioned by Ms Shoni Ghosh, but I know about 
some of them. Those are about the crisis of communalism in Bangladesh 
society. Bangladesh has/had a small but vibrant intellectuals fighting the 
islamic communalism like Humayun Azad (killed by islamists), Taslima Nasrin 
(in exile), Salam Azad (in exile), Shariar Kabir (physically harmed by 
islamists), National Professor Kabir Chowdhury, Professor Muntasir Mamun 
(History, Dhaka University, jailed a number of times) and others. Prof Abul 
Barkat (Economics, Dhaka University) has done excellent detailed works on 
the beconomic aspects of ethnic cleansing of theHindus from Bangladesh, 
Bangladesh press (before the censorship of the present military regime) also 
has done commendable work in publishing the regular attacks on the minority 
Hindu-Buddhist-Christians-Adibasis. However Bengali and Indian secular press 
and intellectuals have alwaya maintained silence about that. And no film on 
that huge issue of one of the largest continuing ethnic cleansing of 
history.
Thanks'
M R
