a massacre that ignored by history

In the morning of 18 February 1983, more than 5000 (officially 2191) men, women and children were massacred in Assam (a province of India). Most of the victims were Bangladeshi muslims who had immigrated to the region during the liberation war of Bangladesh. Not a single person has even had to face trial for the gruesome massacre. The report of the massacre has not been made public. Enough evidences make it obvious that local governments of that region belonging to the Indian government (both the Congress and the AGP) have suppressed information about the massacre.

The matter surprise me most that very few Bangladeshi people know about that massacre is not mentioned in anywhere. Not written in our history books. I didn’t know about that massacre till today. It seems they don’t want to flag a dead horse.

Pohela Ashar & Lunar Eclipse

Today was “Pohela Ashar”, the first day of monsoon. According to Bangla calender, the monsoon is divided into two months, Ashar & Sraban. Actually in a tropical region like Bangladesh, there are mainly two seasons, the wet and the dry. And these two months Ashar & Sraban are most wet.

A total lunar eclipse gonna begin at tonight 12:22am Bangladesh standard time. It is 11:18pm evening right now, but the whole sky is damm cloudy. Gonna miss to watch it for sure. Mid or maximum lunar eclipse will happen at 2:13am, and it ends at 4:03am.
