Quote by Rahad Abir

“That male organ was the main point of the Partition. India had been partitioned on the grounds of circumcision. That was the issue Jinnah, Nehru, Gandhi had fought for. And thus the two nations were born. One circumcised. Another uncircumcised.”

“Let alone the border states, there was a problem in the capital itself. Many complaints were received after the draft rolls were published on 25 January 1993 in Delhi. The complaints said that the names of foreign nationals were included and genuine Indian citizens were excluded. It was decided by the commission that action would be taken against the Delhi administration for ‘lapses’ in its procedures for including the names of foreign nationals, particularly Bangladeshis, in the revised electoral rolls. The final lists were to be out by 25 March in 13 sectors where a large population of illegal immigrants was supposed to be living. The result was that in the final roll, only 17,000 could be declared as voters from one area where there were 128,000 in the draft rolls. These figures were alarming. The publication of final rolls was held up for some time. In fact, according to police sources, there were possibly around 400,000 illegal immigrants in Delhi at that time. There were speculations in the press suggesting that this was just the tip of the iceberg. It took up to November for elections to be held.”

“বাঙালি আবেগপ্রবণ জাতি। এ নিয়ে আমরা শ্লাঘা অনুভব করি। কিন্তু বিষয়টা সব সময় গৌরবের নয়। আবেগ যুক্তিকে ঢেকে দেয়, জিজ্ঞাসার পথ রুদ্ধ করে ফেলে, মীমাংসার পথ করে দেয় কঠিন। অতি আবেগের কারণে আমরা জাতিগতভাবে এখনো ইতিহাসমনস্ক হতে পারিনি। আর সে জন্যই আমরা ইতিহাসের চরিত্র নির্মাণ করতে ব্যর্থ হয়েছি বারবার। যা তৈরি করেছি, তা হলো কতগুলো কল্পকাহিনি বা মিথ । আমাদের সবকিছু বাড়িয়ে বলার অভ্যাস। অতিরঞ্জন আমাদের জীবনের অপরিহার্য অনুষঙ্গ।”

“ইস্ট ইন্ডিয়া কোম্পানি যখন বাংলাদেশ দখল করে মীর জাফরের বিশ্বাসঘাতকতায় তখন বাংলার এত সম্পদ ছিল যে, একজন মুর্শিদাবাদের ব্যবসায়ী গোটা বিলাত শহর কিনতে পারত। সেই বাংলাদেশের এই দুরবস্থা চোখে দেখেছি যে, মা মরে পড়ে আছে, ছোট বাচ্চা সেই মরা মার দুধ চাটছে। কুকুর ও মানুষ একসাথে ডাস্টবিন থেকে কিছু খাবার জন্য কাড়াকাড়ি করছে। নিজের ছেলেমেয়েকে বিক্রি করতে চেষ্টা করছে।কেউ কিনতে ও রাজি হয় নাই। বাড়ির দুয়ারে এসে চিৎকার করছে, মা বাঁচাও, কিছ খেতে দাও মরে তো গেলাম, আর পারি না, একটু ফেন দাও।” এই কথা বলতে বলতে ঐ বাড়ির দুয়ারের কাছেই মরে পরে গেছে।”
