The feeling of friendship, camaraderie and brotherhood between people of different races, ethnicities, communities and religions is therefore communal harmony. However, to say precisely communal harmony does not mean the possibility of people of different religions. From time immemorial, our liberal fields of Bangladesh - deserts, green trees and clear streams of innumerable rivers have taught us generosity of heart, affection and love for each other. It is the character of the nature of this green Bengal that is love, not violence. Love for each other this is like the people and nature of this country.
No country or nation can be made up of a single ethnicity and religious community. People of different ethnicities, castes and religions come together to form a society and a state. Communal harmony is a cordial and friendly relationship between different castes and religions, such as Bengalis, tribes, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims. Today, communal conflicts are undermining everything from world peace to social order. Against this background, the need for communal harmony has intensified.
The poison of communal disharmony; Throughout the ages, humanity has been overwhelmed by communal conflicts in different countries. Inter-religious and inner-religious conflicts of different religions have shed the most blood on the face of the earth. Conflicts between sects such as Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, etc. among Christians created a long period of instability throughout Europe. Shia, Sunni and sectarian conflicts among Muslims have claimed thousands of lives. Thousands of men and women have died in Hindu-Muslim riots in India. Muslim-Christian conflicts in Eastern Europe, Serb-Croat-Albanian, Turkish-Cypriot, Indonesian and Muslim-Christian conflicts in Sudan have not yet been eradicated. In this way, sectarian discrimination has given birth to a toxic environment around the world.
Communal harmony is a prerequisite for social progress and economic development. It is also important for the safety of human life and the preservation of human values. Many countries in the world have failed to achieve the desired progress due to communal conflicts. It is the work of communal evil to play with people's precious lives. Some people are always trying to take advantage of the situation by drawing a line between people. It is an irrational act to risk one's own life and the beautiful future of the next generation. Everyone should try to protect everyone, irrespective of race and religion, from the shadow of evil and evil.
The winds of communal harmony have been blowing in the subcontinent for many centuries. During the Sultanate period, a heavenly atmosphere of Hindu-Muslim harmony existed in Bangladesh. Even in the Mughal period, people of all religions, castes and nationalities lived in this country in a cordial atmosphere due to the sincerity of the ruling community. But the British ruling class was trying to gain political advantage by destroying communal harmony in this country. They did not treat Hindus and Muslims equally. In addition, the government adopted the policy of divide and rule to intensify the Hindu-Muslim divide. As a result, the idea of communal division became entrenched. In particular, with the abolition of the Partition of Bengal in 1905 and the Partition of Bengal in 1911, the communal poison was intensified.
Partition of Bengal - In the post-war political climate, communal conflict in our subcontinent brings a catastrophe for humanity. After the partition of the country in 1947 on the basis of biracialism, the lives of millions of men and women fell into riots. Due to the communal conflict, Hindus left everything in Pakistan and Muslims migrated to Pakistan from India. The Hindu-Muslim riots of 1971 were horrific all over India. The rise of Hindutva political power in India in the nineties wreaked havoc on communal harmony. Thousands of men and women lost their lives due to this. In recent times (2002) Hindu-Muslim riots in Gujarat, India have been a stigma of the 21st century. Another scandal is the 2012 communal riots in Myanmar. A large number of Muslims were killed in the riots and their houses were set on fire.
There is a glorious tradition of communal harmony in Bangladesh. Even after that, in the first half of the twentieth century, in the post-1947 period and in 1971, there was a serious rift between Hindus and Muslims in Bangladesh. During the political upheaval in 1971 and 1973, there were incidents of persecution of the minority community in some parts of the country. In response to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in India in 1992, there was intense anger in this country as well. Many old Buddhist temples and Buddha statues were destroyed in communal riots in Ramu, Cox's Bazar in 2013. Basically, it cannot be called a communal riot in the broadest sense. Because it was the work of some miscreants. It did not have the participation of a large population. In short, a tradition of communal harmony is still intact in this country. People of all communities including Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Christians are living in harmony in this country. Bangladesh has set an example in the world of communal harmony.
There is no place for communalism in any corner of the world. Basically, human welfare is the only goal of all religions. The holy religion of Islam has not only encouraged communal harmony, it has made it obligatory to maintain harmony. Islam considers the creation of sedition in society to be a heinous crime rather than murder. The Islamic State has special arrangements for the security of the lives and property of followers of other religions. In other words, communalism is hated by all religions, although religious businessmen use religion to destroy communal harmony.
What we have to do; Every well-meaning person should spread the message of welfare to remove communal poison from the society. We have to remember that immortal saying of Chandidas. Every human being must be viewed from a human point of view outside our religious identity.
Happiness - Peace, economic prosperity, security above all, communal harmony must be upheld at any cost.
