comments: dear kazi though I feel like I fritter awawy most of my life away wired to these machines, i have never really used the Network. Wow it really is something else. I am a PhD student at University of Durham, (North East England) born and brought up in London (England) but a true Bangladeshi (parents from Jamalpur, but I spend all of my hols in Dhaka) at heart. It would be great to maintain contact with you people. And i would like to know more about what's available on the Network. I am President of Asian Society (100 members) at University of Durham and we are around 10 Bangladeshi's here. Lily

It's my first night on the net, I just installed the latest version of windows 3.1 (3.11 !) since I could not get anything going with the 1992 version of 3.1. Finding this the first night was something I did not dare to dream off. It's a bit late now but I surely come back here (I guess tomorrow). Greetings from Holland!!

comments: Nice home page! I have seen this before, though did not take the time to send you a note. The pictures are nice and I hope you don't mind me downloading them. A question for you (given that I am still a net-novice): How do you load a picture once you download it to your own directory. This is probably a stupid question; but so is my knowledge of computers.

Your pictures of the country side are just as I remember it from our train ride from Chittagong to Dhaka. My only comment is that you need to add another "Sound" of Bangladesh to your page. I missed hearing the traffic, horns, bells, etc. from the streets of Dhaka. I'll have to visit your page again real soon. sincerely, Gina Hsiung

comments: Dear Junaid Shaheb, Take my salam and deep appriciation for everything that you have done in this network as a Bangladeshi. I would like to draw your attention on the photo images. I think you could have pro- vided some more natural sights, rather than Dhaka. And, on some of the images you tried to portrait locals. I think you could have avoided the picture of selling bottles of alcoholic beverage as this doesn't represent our culture. Americans believe in whatever they see, moreover they don't see the things the way we see them. Please, don't take negatives. I support you for everything that you have done. If you need some assistance on anything, please let me know. Thank you. Saidul Islam

Pictures and images are very popular I am sure. May be you could add more images. I saw a beautiful calender in Bangladesh prepared by Drik. The photography is excellent. If you can get hold of that then it would be truly wonderful. The calender had images of Bangladesh according to the month. Personality focus would be nice Dr. Yunus, Jainul Abedin, and others. Thanks.

Some of the information is a little 'fluffy' (ZIA is not REALLY an elegant airport in my opinion - more like frustrating) and the search index didn't work when I typed "Dhaka".

I am especially interested in the "recent news" section. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get any usenet information. Only newswires information (VOA, Guardian, AP) is receivable. Could you please give me some advices as to how to overcome the messages "connection failed" or "host unknown". Is it possible to get clippings from the "Daily Star" or other dailes or weeklys. Perhaps, we can start communicating to each other now at a regular basis. Thank you very much again Yours sincerely Martin Peter HOUSCHT (houscht@uni-muenster.de)

Prepare a list and address of all NGO's operating in Banglade- sh. 3. A brief description about the main 10 cities ( such as Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Jessore, Barisal, Comilla, Mymensingh, and Saidpur ) with the present population area and for whats these cities are famous. 4. A short list of Foreign and National Banks are operating in Bangladesh and the addresses of corresponding banks of our Banks abroad 5. Addresses of Dhaka based Dailies and Weeklies as well as other regional newspapers ( Especially from Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Jessore, Sylhet, Barisal, Mymensingh etc ) Yours sincerely Firoz Alam Ph.D student in Aerospace Engineering, Monash University, Australia E-mail : Falam@eng2.eng.monash.edu.au

comments: Wonderful set of WWW pages on BD. Makes me quite homesick, and recalls, for me, the soft sound of a bashi (bamboo flute) playing in the dusk by a tank.- I spent 2 months in BD last year, and left my heart there. - Still learning Bangla, weekly here in Sydney. Problems learning script, of course, as an Anglo. With you pages, I got lost. You might like ook at this, as a user, unclear link.;- I was in the Language section, and somehow found;- BD:Survival Bengali. I even dumped it to my printer, for I wated to expore from there, further, NO I failed to bookmark, It. - I have spent some 6 min. re-looking. - 1 Where is it, please (IT goes on to the dictionary and primer) 2 Perhaps some better links to it on higher pages? This, because it seems like a valuable sub-section. - Last thing;- I am so excited by having found this section. This is so good, I would be proud if My name was on it and not yours;- ie So much obvious study,work, knowledge and LOVE has gone into its creation and presentation. - Well done.

However, I do wish the pictures provided had some description. I it is nice to know where the pictures are taken from to compare and see how much everything has been changed. An extensive description (in addition to the catagories you already have) may give non-bengali people better understanding. This visit was extraordinary.

comments: Dear Zunaid Kazi: I accessed your home page to get some information about Bangladesh. This home page is really very nice. It is very well organized and easy to use. I really enjoyed browsing inside this home page. Great Job! However, I couldn't get the information which I was looking for. I wonder whether you can help me where I can get the information. Or if you simply know about it, could you tell it to me? I am doing a research about Bangladesh and need detailed information about the administrative divisions in Bangladesh. Your home page gives the information of 64 districts. This information is something different from the one I have. The number of the districts I have is about 20. Of course, my infromation might be wrong. What I learned about the administratie divisions in Bangladesh is that the country is divided into "divisions" and then into "districts" and then into "thanas(?) or subdistricts(?)," and probably it will break down further on. The information which I am looking for is the name of thanas inside Noakhali District. In addition, I want to know in which thana or subdistrict Hatiya (island) belongs to. I have been trying hard to get this information looking at so many places, but all the information stops at the district level and doesn't give further information. I would really appreciate, if you could give me where I can find the information. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Machiko Kamiya

comments: Dear Kazi Bhai, This morning I was told by an Indian Prof. about Bangladeh Home page.First thing I did when I got home was to go directly to ur page. Honestly at first I thought it would be composed of some boring data, stats along with some me gvt. propaganda type gibberish. When I got there, I was awestruck, mouth wide-open; I thought I was dreaming. I saw some usenet groups focused on Bangladesh before mainly consists of Fanatic Islamists morons. But this is out of the world! As I was discovering more, I felt like a kid in the candy store. Audios, Pictures, Format, EVERYTHING was GREAT. I'm trying to kiss up to u, I felt a stream of emotions was going thru my backbone, started to have goosebumps; teary-eyed, shocked to see the depth of my emotions. Suddenly realized I'm missing out a lot. I haven't been in touch with my own people, I haven't answered my little sister's letter in months, who wanted a walkman from america, I haven't talked to my poor Mom in ages. The very mom who still worries about me "crossing the streets" in America! Excuse: No time, Work & School,Yet I always seemed to have time for fri.nite buddies, time to shop around for the perfect card 4 girlfriend's mom! Alas! i didn't have any guilty feeling. I was changing rapidly to man I promised I'd nerver turn out to be. I don't what it is, that'd touched a chord in my long ignored Bangladeshi soul. I'm so proud and excited that I feel like waking my roommate up, and calling my girlfriend to show them what we REALLY are & about. The rich culture and heritage. I'm so sick of always being defensive about the infamous WorldVision trip w/ Alex Trebeck version of Bangladesh on TV. Despite all the hardship and shortcomings I do beleive we WILL prevail, 'cause there are always People like you who dedicate themselves for the betterment of the others and invoke lost souls like mine. Thanks a zillion. sorry for this big bundle of words. I had to get it of my chest. I'm not sure if I even made any sense but I'm positive lot of young souls around the globe who ventured out can relate to what i feel. For some reason a tune keeps ringing in my ears right now eventhough I haven't listened to any Bangla song in years; it goes:"Aie Padma,Aie Megna, Aie Jamuna Surama Nodhi Tate. Amar rakhal mon gan gaye jai......."

However; regarding Awami League persuading India to step in and help Bangladesh attain independence will not be correct. India as a enemy of Pakistan always looked for ways to weakend Pakistan. India sieged the opportunity, that was handed to them by the stupidity of the West Pakistani, as you mentioned them in detail in your essay. In short Awami league did not had to convince India, but it was a moment India was waiting for all along. my e mail AHMEDM@VAX.CS.HSCSYR.EDU

I am a Pakistani whose family was in East Pakistan from 1969-1971 (unrelated to the armed forces)I have always wondered about the details of the history of what is a dark and unfortunate period in both our peoples' histories. I have found alot of really important readings here. I would only like to make one suggestion and that is to please reference the source from which you are deriving your information. When you have eye-witness accounts that is OK but descriptions of historical events e.g. specific battles in the 1971 war should be referenced. I think it would give greater credence to know whether some report is from NY Times or Newsweek, etc. I would be interested to have discussion with you if you are interested. Please e-mail me

Please send me your opinion along with a short note of introduction about your self. As for me, I am doing my degree on Youth and Community Work, at University of London, Goldsmith College. I work with young people in my free time, and help my father with his Community work. I love to play Caram Board, but I cannot play well.

comments: You are the people far away form Islam and under the influence of Hindu pigs. The university in which I am studying 80% of bengalis are involved in drugs and other bull shits, alcohol and sex is every day routine of you peopole. In the Jumma Prayer( one of the most important prayer to offer ) only 3 or 4 among the 80 bengali students come while more than half Pakistani comes. I went to a Islamic Ijtimah in Saint Louis. 10 or 15 out of 300 appx. people were bengalis while 70% of all were Pakistanis. Pakistan was formed on the basis of Islam while bangla was bornon the basis of bengali. According to the geographic facts Urdu is the biggest and the largest spoken language among the Muslims of all world even more than Arabic Persion and Indonesian. At the time of combined Pakistan bangla used to give the all economy to whole Pakistan( as you said) then what is happening now. What happened to the sunaihra(golden) bengal you were becoming a very rich country due to your gold export oh sorry! your jute export. Pakistan is among a rich country among third world countries. I swear to bangla we didn't steal you jute. Sorry it is the time for Jummah Prayer. I am going for the Prayer and my bengali brothers are sitting in front of me playing with the computer in computer lab. Allah Hafiz.

If you can post Bengali Newspaper in bangla--that could be a fine job. Regular updated news can be posted. Internet discussion menu can be opened in order to enable all homeleft Bangladeshi people to join together. That can help ourselves to figure out a possible political solution in the present turbulant crisis. I think that now is the time to clean up the corrupted politics in our country and we need to conduct a massive change in our constitution.

Unfortunately, I don't know too many Bangladeshis. I'm hoping to contact people who have had similar experiences as me, or people who are willing to just talk about Bangladesh.

I feel that your page is informative but lacks one major ingredient... the reason why Bangladesh is in a state of utter despair and dissarray.....THE LACK OF ISLAM!!!! Ifeel that your page should have a lot more about Islam because it is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of our identity.... MUSLIM FIRST BENGALI SECOND!!!!!

I myself am interested in creating something like a chat group or something where we can discuss stuff like where our country's going, and what we might be able to do to improve our lot. Who knows it might sound boring to you, but I sincerely hope not. I care about our future, and i know so do a lot of other people. So, tell me what you think. Take care, and hope to hear from you soon

I was just wondering if there were any groups or agencies of which I could be apart of and help do some voluntary work for the summer. I would feel great at heart if I could reach out as a Canadian citizen and an environmental studies student, to my birth place. Buy for now.

comments: Assalam Alaikum! My name is Syed Hasan Raza and i am from west Pakistan i mean The original Pakistan . I didn't read your page i just saw your page i decided to share my comments with you . Actually i am just seventeen and i didn,t know much about the accident of between Pakistan and peoples of Bangladesh.But Suddenly i got an intrest in that history i read a lot about the history and i realized you guys had been cheated by the Fucking government of MotherFucker Bhutto (excuse me , but when i think about that i get angry ) Mujeeb-ur-Rahman was the man who loved Pakistan he was really honest with Pakistan and he deserved the government but the man who never been intrested with Pakistan got the government . Bastered bhutto was just wanted the leadership and wanted to eat Pakistan .And now the same thing his daughter doing with Karachi as he did with the peoples of bangladesh . In Karachi the 99% population of people are Muhajir and all they want is jobs in Karachi but Sindhies got all good job in Karachi and these sindhies already got big lands in Interior sindh . I think you are woundering who are those Muhajirs , so muhajir are those peoples who came from UP(in India) and settle thier lives in Karachi , but the sindhies who were alredy lived upthier didn't accept us and trying to press Muhajirs to the wall , Ever since we came in Pakistan,Sindhies hates Muhajir and When Bhutto came to power in 1971 he layed off all those muhajirs who were in good postions and put sindhies on thier places . That was the beging of war between sindhies and Muhajirs . Now Benazir croosed the limit and she will pay for this , yes sure she will . Assalam Alaikum .

comments: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN +++++++++++++++++++++++ My dear fellow muslim brothers. My name is Syed Talha. I a student in chicago. I was browsing through Netscape, Pakistan News, and accidently I found Mr. Kazi's home page. I was impressed and then feel ashamed, yes ashamed of my self being a west Pakistani. I feel proud that one of our brother had done such a tremendous job of providing so much information in one page. To all the readers of this splended home page, Lets talk about reunion then talking about division, our fore-fathers did not make this country to devide, to loose against the foreign powers. We never destin to fight until some black sheeps enter our ranks and start the fire. REMEMBER UNITE WE STAND DEVIDE WE FALL Just take it like this, If there were some attroceries done, which is quite right, and very bad, Then in no way one should try to break off from the union. Yes I agree that what ever was done was absolutely wrong, the attroceries done by then leaders of united Pakistan was wrong, and I think that we both have learn our lessons. Lets burry all the hate and all the fire wright here on this net and lets start to talk about reconceliation. Lets talk about the comman things we have and lets talk about being one again. ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE EDUCATED AND HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE FACTS AND FIGURE So lets get serious in this generation and look that if we combine both the countries as one and join the resources how big we could become. Let's all of us being fruitful like our first founding fathers not like the bhutto family which devide Pakistan. Lets spread the message of Love not hatred. KHUDA HAFIZ FROM PAKISTAN WITH LOVE

Though, no big deal. I love Sunil's poems, this one I have read before backhome. Waiting for more to come.... Thanks, Shuvo.
