[🇧🇩] ISKCON and its activities in Bangladesh

[Krishna with Flute]

You have broached an off topic subject - but I will respond just to make a point.

Your comments about Chinese Substandard tech does not hold water. In every conflict between China and India, Chinese weapons have excelled over Indian ones, all of which happen to be imported or assembled from imported parts.

Until a few years ago - Indian local weapons manufacture was a rather dismal failure (INSAS rifle was a good example). Every weapon in India is more or less dependent on imported parts, backward integration is absent. Brahmos uses Russian parts, Tejas uses French avionics and US engines. Chinese make all their weapons themselves. Nothing is imported, unlike India.

Their level of indigenization is far ahead (I'd say at least a decade ahead) of India. That is a conservative statement.

Forget weapons, even local Indian cellphones like Karbonn and Micromax etc. are all made from imported Chinese parts. These are basic pieces of technology which are commonly available across the globe. Quite a few Indian power stations are also Chinese made. Indian renewable energy plants (Wind and Solar farms) all use Chinese equipment.

Today the Chinese are competing with Tesla with some hundred different brands of EVs like BYD which is a global leader. Industry leaders are saying Chinese EVs are better in quality and features than Tesla. They make 50% of the cars produced globally. And you are saying they have substandard tech....

Please don't embarrass yourself anymore bhai.

We make Su 30 here. Everything including engine is made here. However, we call it a license production and don't name them J15 and J16 etc. They made Al31 and RD33 in china and name them WS 10 and so on. Moreover, we don't have French avionics in Tejas. It has Israelis radar which is being replaced by our Uttam which has performed far batter. We can use RD33 variant in Tejas by indigenously made RD33 but we use GE404 as we have the option. Chinese don't have the option so they use Russian engine calling it indigenous. INSAS was a very good rifle of its time and we won kargil war with INSAS. It was our mistake that we did not develop another rifle till INSAS outlived it's life. Now we produce AK 203 in India but we don't give it an Indian name and call it Indigenous like China.

I agree with you when you quoted the cell phone example. But you see, when Modi ji came to power, we had 2 cellphone manufacturing companies here. Now we have more than 200. We are catching up fast. Electronic manufacturing is coming to India in big way. We are a democracy and not a dictatorship like China. We have to manage so many things to put something in order unlike China. So our pace is slow but it is sustainable. You see now Apple has moved to India from China.Tesla is also planning to move to India and so as many other Japanese companies. Our development is more holistic and has come without cruelty. A diverse and democratic country like India takes time to develop but when it happens, it happens in magnimus and magnificent way. This is the reason why our success rate is very high and our big projects don't fail like the projects of China.We don't have ghost cities, our huge construction companies don't do multi-billion USD losses. Our projects don't fail like CPEC, airport project in SL etc. Our railway doesn't incur huge loses. We don't have to destroy our multi storage buildings as there are no taker. Our development is demand driven and sustainable and not fake to show GDP numbers high

Oikya Parishad demands release of Chinmoy, 18 others

The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Oikya Parishad in a statement today demanded the release of former ISKCON leader Chandan Kumar Dhar, also known as Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, who is currently in jail in a sedition case.

The statement, signed by Manindra Kumar Nath, acting general secretary of the organisation, also urged the government to withdraw the cases filed against Chinmoy, spokesperson of the Sammilita Sanatani Jagaran Mancha, and 18 others, and to acquit them of all charges.

Chinmoy was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of police from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka on November 25.

The case was filed with Kotwali Police Station in Chattogram on October 31, accusing Chinmoy and 18 others.

Firoz Khan, the then-general secretary of Mohora ward BNP, lodged the case, accusing Chinmoy and others of disrespecting Bangladesh's national flag during a rally of the Hindu community on October 25 in Chattogram's New Market area.

Firoz Khan, however, was expelled from the BNP for "anti-party" activities a day after filing the case.

According to the case statement, the incident occurred on October 25, when some youths allegedly placed a saffron-coloured flag over the Bangladesh flag on the Shadhinata Sthombho (Independence Pillar) at the Zero Point near the New Market intersection during a rally organised under the banner of the Sanatani Jagaran Mancha.

Earlier, Chinmoy's bail petition was denied.​

The High Court has rejected the bail prayer of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote and former ISKCON leader, in a sedition case.

The court also issued a rule asking the government to explain in two weeks why Chinmoy should not be granted bail in this case on Tuesday.

The bench of Justice Md Atoar Rahman and Justice Md Ali Reza issued the rule after holding hearing on a petition filed by Chinmoy seeking bail in the case.

On October 25 last year, a large gathering of the Sanatani community was held in Chattogram under the leadership of Chinmoy Krishna Das.

A sedition case was filed against 19 people, including Chinmoy, on charge of belittling the national flag on October 31.

On November 22, another large rally was held in Rangpur under the leadership of Chinmoy who was arrested in Dhaka on November 25 in the sedition case.

On January 2 this year, Chattogram Metropolitan Sessions judge Md Saiful Islam denied bail to Chinmoy in the sedition case.

On December 11 last year, the same court rejected his bail petition in the same case.

The Chattogram court rejected Chinmoy’s bail petition, ordered him to be sent to jail, and the decision sparked clashes between his followers, law enforcers and lawyers on the court premises.

At one stage of the clash, one lawyer, a lawyer named advocate Saiful Islam Alif, was hacked to death outside the court premises.

Several cases have so far been filed against Chinmoy and others following the murder of the lawyer.​
