although bangladesh only came into existence in 1971 , the land which is today bangladesh has strong ties to the middle east .

bangladeshis in the middle east form the largest part of the worldwide bangladeshi diaspora .

out of the 3,975,550 bangladeshis abroad approximately 2,820,000 live within the middle east , 0.075 % of the middle east population , with half of them in saudi arabia , and a quarter of them in the united arab emirates .

bangladeshis who come to the middle east are primarily guest workers or day labourers .

bangladesh is one of the largest labour suppliers to saudi arabia , in 2007 bangladeshi workers obtained the biggest share , with 23.50 per cent of the 1.5 million saudi arabia visas issued .

in most countries around the world , white people seem to be treated with the most respect . in the middle east , native arabs from the gcc region are treated with great respect , and then white people are sort of next in line . meanwhile indians , pakistanis , bangladeshis and filipinos , who , in the uae for example , together make up 52 . 48 per cent of the total population , are noticeably treated as lesser individuals .

the officially recorded flow of people from ( back then ) east pakistan to international destinations was , however , still quite small . the increasing outward orientation of bangladeshis after national independence in 1971 as well as the 1973 oil boom and thus an increasing need for cheap labor in the middle east then led to a rapid growth of international labor migration from bangladesh ( see figure 1 ) . in 1976 , only 6 , 000 bangladeshis left to work abroad . since then , the number of both temporary expatriate workers and permanent out - migrants has increased dramatically . between 1990 and 1995 , 1 . 2 million bangladeshis left the country to live and work abroad . out - migration increased to almost three million between 2005 and 2010 . in the year 2008 alone , 875 , 000 migrant workers were recruited from bangladesh

the liberation war of bangladesh is indeed the most momentous event for the people who were once east bengalis , then east pakistanis and now bangladeshis : it conferred on us the pride of standing as an equal among the nations of the world . other subnational groups in both india and pakistan also chafed at the gross inequities committed by an imposing federated state . yet only in bangladesh did rebellion against such injustice and the idea of a distinct cultural identity — in this case , bengali and secular — lead to a new nation .

more than 36 , 000 people have returned from libya alone in recent weeks . an estimated 70 , 000 - 80 , 000 bangladeshis were working there before the current crisis .
according to the international organisation for migration ( iom ) , more than 36 , 500 bangladeshis have been repatriated from libya since the uprising against muammar gaddafi began .
the government ' s decision to join saudi arabia - led islamic military coalition will not lead to islamic state targeting bangladeshi expats in the middle eastern countries , said the expatriates ' welfare and overseas employment minister yesterday .
rabab fatima , head of the iom regional office in dhaka , said :
many of the bangladeshis who returned have unpaid wages in libya . some still have debts at home incurred during their passage to libya . so there is a sense of uncertainty in them about the future .
in contrast , bangladeshis’ response to partition can seem to verge on indifference . for us , aug . 15 , the day of india’s independence in 1947 , represents first and foremost the brutal murder many years later , in 1975 , of our own founding father , sheikh mujibur rahman . our seminal historical event is the liberation war of 1971 , during which up to three million bangladeshis may have been killed by the pakistani army and its local collaborators as they tried to crush the movement for independence .
but partition had paved the way . so while the importance of 1971 cannot be overstressed for bangladeshis , to think that partition has only been subsumed here by a bigger and more recent event also misses the point .
tens of thousands of bangladeshi migrant workers are returning home from strife - torn middle eastern countries , threatening social and economic turmoil in their homeland which relies heavily on expatriates for a large part of its national income .
dhaka , bangladesh — in 1948 , a year after the partition of india , my maternal grandparents moved from calcutta to dhaka , crossing from west bengal in india to east bengal , or east pakistan — now bangladesh . there , they built a tin - shed house in the new neighborhood of dhanmondi , known before only for its paddy fields ( dhan ) . at the time , the area was so desolate that every night my grandfather would fire his double - barreled shotgun to ward off foxes and thieves .
seven decades on , partition may be a bigger psychic presence for indians and pakistanis than it was in years closer to the event . for bangladeshis , who tend to gloss over its brutality as a pathology of the moment , it is but an echo of the distant past .
yet to write off the difference simply as a function of a majoritarian advantage is to miss a subtler point about who made the move and why . many hindus of east bengal had good reason to fear for their safety after horrific riots and rapes against them there in the late 1940s . but many of the muslims of west bengal , especially the more privileged ones , who crossed into east pakistan were often the more ambitious members of their families and came into the new country to seek new fortunes .
attitudes between different social grades are broadly similar to current pakistani migrants but middle - class voters ( abc1 ) are more likely than working class voters ( c2de ) to feel positive about the progress of integration for their children .
the contrast in the fortunes of my ancestors who moved to dhaka versus those who stayed back in calcutta is telling . my grandparents’ children in bangladesh have gone on to hold high offices at home and even internationally . the ones who entered business have enjoyed tremendous success . their cousins in calcutta , who are a minority there today , enjoy prosperous middle - class lives , mainly running small businesses . no one approaches the exalted heights reached by their relatives in the new country , or local hindus with comparable job qualifications .
but if they felt secure enough even then , why leave a year after partition ? the answer is quite simple : to them , east pakistan was not a land of exile , but a land of opportunity .
bangladesh ' s history is a history of migration . people have been mobile in the bengal delta region for centuries . patterns of contemporary labor migration go back to colonial times . every year , around 500 . 000 bangladeshis leave the country to work abroad . bangladesh ' s economy depends on the emigrants ' remittances .
you see , my grandparents , two muslims living in hindu - majority west bengal , did not move to east bengal out of fear . my grandmother came from a large and prosperous clan in a town adjacent to calcutta . she recalled that during religious riots in 1946 , men in her neighborhood guarded all its entrances , wielding swords . as muslims who held a dominant position in their muslim - majority corner of town , my grandparents didn’t face the terrible violence of the time .

the bangladeshi diaspora community includes people who have migrated to a foreign country as well as their children who have been born either in bangladesh or in the host country . the size of the diaspora population is thus much bigger than the immigrant population of the respective country . for example , 154 , 000 immigrants from bangladesh lived in the united kingdom in 2000 , while the uk’s national census in 2001 recorded 283 , 000 british citizens of bangladeshi origin . many bangladeshi diaspora members are well established in their host countries . many have started off as workers in factories , and now run their own restaurants , corner shops and other businesses . third or even fourth generation bangladeshi diaspora members in the uk are represented in the mainstream economy and the political system of the british government . similar observations are also reported for the usa

there’s also a similar ‘off - spring effect’ in public attitudes to the integration of all groups referenced in the study , where the younger generation is viewed as integrating significantly better than their parents . in this case , overall attitudes to the pakistanis show the biggest shift from negative to positive impressions of integration between the generations .
when i was growing up , such stories struck me as nothing more than proof that my grandfather was eccentric and a visionary . but how we fashion our family history also reflects our collective memory . and when years later i began to examine , for a research project in comparative literature , why bangladeshis relate to partition differently than do indians and pakistanis , i found clues to an answer right in my family lore .

after the second world war , the united kingdom faced labor shortages and therefore began to attract labor migrants of the commonwealth states . young men from bangladesh , in particular from the sylhet region , thus left for the uk , mostly settled in london , and contributed to meeting the increasing demand for cheap labor . this initiated chain migration of further workers and family members to the uk in the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s , and led to close transnational connections between bangladesh and the uk .

the national economy and migrants’ families are highly dependent on the regular financial transfers by migrants , and they are thus vulnerable to ruptures of the money flows . ninety percent of the money that is being sent to bangladesh by its migrants and the diaspora comes from ten countries , 58 percent from the gulf states alone ( see table 3 ) . economic crises and rising unemployment in the destination countries ; unsuccessful negotiations of the sending government with migrant - receiving nations about labor recruitment , payment levels and labor standards ; political changes that limit the access of bangladeshi migrants to overseas labor markets , such as the restriction of male labor migrants in the united arab emirates ( in 2012 ) ; or political crises , such as the civil war and economic breakdown in libya , where tens of thousands of bangladeshis had worked before 2011 – all of these factors can lead to an abrupt reduction of temporary labor migrants in a country and thereby impact the overall flows of remittances . decreasing remittances can also be partly explained by the changing role that remittances play for diaspora communities . on the one hand , upward social mobility of migrants in the host society connected to access to higher paid jobs can increase the overall volume of remittances . on the other hand , as the case of the uk indicates , better social and economic integration of the second and third generation of people with bangladeshi origin may lead to a stronger social identification with the host country , to the loosening of transnational ties and a decreasing willingness to send money to bangladesh .
unlike earlier muslim movements led by towering statesmen and elaborate organizations for political independence or religious reforms , the current ferment is fueled mainly by individuals and local groups for self - improvement as much as social renewal . during my frequent trips through the muslim world , i ran into many young muslims with secular education who were studying the quran and prophetic traditions on their own . very few did so in the 1960s , when i was attending college in what was then east pakistan ( now bangladesh ) . this past july , i met members of a “muslim club” in dhaka who were raising funds to help put poor children through school . in faisalabad , pakistan , altaf hussein and his friends are campaigning for the enrollment of muslim girls in school , ignoring orthodox islamic scholars’ ruling against female education . in bursa , turkey , my former translator mehmet ertan is working with a group of volunteers who supply islamic literature to crimean muslims , while looking after chechen refugees .

second , in western societies , race remains an enduring barrier to non - white groups’ assimilation into the white mainstream . racial tensions have in fact increased in post - cold war europe . even in the united states , civil - rights laws and citizen activism for a half - century have failed to draw african americans or native americans into the white mainstream , even though most of these minorities share its faiths .
of the 15 million people who crossed the borders of bengal and punjab , in western india , at the time of partition , only 700 , 000 moved to east bengal , most of them from west bengal , with smaller numbers from bihar and uttar pradesh . bengali muslims suffered less violence than other groups . for many of them the move was voluntary , indeed opportunistic . and their hope of a better future , rather than the mere search for a safe haven , has given rise to a different kind of memory about that period : one less laden with grief and often taut with the excitement of new possibilities .

the umma was born in the arabian town of yathrib in the 620s as an interfaith defense alliance among muslims , christians and jews to protect that town against invaders from mecca . the prophet muhammad and his followers had migrated to yathrib , renamed medina , to avoid persecution in their native town of mecca . eventually the umma evolved as a muslim community comprising a variety of meccan and medinese tribal elements and remained ethnically pluralist . since 656 , when a bloody rebellion broke out against the third islamic caliph , uthman , the umma has

but the same numbers also highlight a bigger challenge , which is that beyond the terms of personal interaction , the pakistani community has a long way to go in fostering a broader perception of successful integration .
societies concede minorities a range of opportunities to foster their cultures while discriminating against them in other ways . france and germany are among the countries where minorities suffer relatively greater legal and social disabilities . even in these countries there is little overt pressure for assimilation . in general , western societies are on an irreversible course of pluralization , and the most obvious force behind it is the growth of non - western minorities , especially the muslims , the fastest growing of all .

. people of bangladeshi origin are also active in the media , for example , in the uk , the usa , canada , germany , and in malaysia , where bangladeshi newspapers are published on a regular basis . bangladeshi national festivals are arranged by the diaspora community as a part of cultural exchange in the host countries . such cultural festivals , the bangla language , bengali food and also muslim religious practices , for instance fastening during ramadan , are crucial for re - producing bengali identities . it is also important to note that many bangladeshi immigrants have not cut their ties to family members

more than 700 bangladeshi workers have stormed their country ' s embassy in kuwait , causing damage inside .
comparisons with other minorities examined in the same study demonstrate that britons tend to rank pakistanis lower down the integration hierarchy than other groups such as eastern europeans or those of african background .
in the last half century , it has also become many things : the second largest ethnic minority in the united kingdom ; a rich contributor to the cultural , political and entrepreneurial life of the country ; and a source of significant national insecurity , as some of the most serious terrorist threats to britain still emanate from pakistan and afghanistan . the diaspora is moreover an important currency of engagement and ‘soft power’ between britain and pakistan itself , whose importance to uk foreign policy could hardly be overstated , from trade and afghan reconstruction to nuclear proliferation , radical islam and great power rivalry in asia .

in any case , muslims are stopping at the second stage of cultural transmutation . instead of assimilating , they are “integrating” into host societies . before looking into the factors that militate against muslim assimilation , a word about assimilation and integration . assimilation means the cultural and structural merger of ethnic or religious categories . in the united states , for example , when we see reformed jews and protestants working , socializing ,
in most societies muslims have taken rather wide liberty to adapt their faith to their environment . arab muslims hold on to pre - islamic tribal values and structure , despite islam’s revolutionary doctrine of social equality . in iran , muslims have cultivated the shii sect of islam . shii
reason the children of catholic and jewish immigrants assimilated into western national mainstreams was the absence of a cultural wellspring to forestall the erosion of their distinctive cultural life . in the midnineteenth century , when irish catholics migrated to new england , they were cut off from their native land and cultural life almost permanently . the only cultural liaison they could have with ireland was through occasional letters from relatives and perhaps a visit or two with them in their entire lives .
observe different holidays , celebrate different festivals and , more important , have a strong disinclination toward marrying non - jews . in that case , sephardic jews are mixing with protestants culturally but not blending with them structurally . the two groups have integrated but did not assimilate . pluralism characterizes the relationships between groups that are integrated well without assimilating . in this example , the sephardic jews have a pluralistic relationship with the protestants .
according to the national population and housing census , 2 . 8 million bangladeshi household members were living abroad in 2011 . 95 percent of them were men . the fact that these migrants are still considered
household members

personal contact is also a key differentiator in perceptions of integration . those who know members of the community in their own lives are likely to have a positive view of integration but strong majorities with no personal link see pakistanis as less well integrated than other minorities that have settled more recently , suggesting that a deeper history of settlement and participation has yet to translate into comparative reputational advantage in key regards .

two years later , he built the first brick and concrete house in the area , which soon enough filled up with one - and two - story bungalows , each with its own lawn . his house looked no different from the others , but it harbored a surprising secret : he had built it with a foundation that could support seven stories . as far back as 1950 , he had told my grandmother , “a day will come when you won’t be able to see anything but people in this city . ” and indeed , while at some point other lovely houses in the neighborhood had to be torn down in order to be built back up taller , his children just added new floors .

in summary , this study suggests that a majority of britons tend to think that pakistani migrants are not integrating well into british society . the trait most commonly associated with people from a pakistani background is that they keep to their own , and substantially more so than either african or eastern european communities , at least according to respondents in this study .

mutha records was a jersey shore based punk rock record label established in 1982 , which released material by new jersey hardcore bands such as the worst , chronic sick , and fatal rage .

the label 's activities were primarily based in monmouth county beach communities such as long branch and asbury park .

mutha did not exclusively release bands from new jersey .

also issued by the label are recordings by youth in asia from canada and rattus from finland .

however , the youth in asia album noted below , pulling out the plug ( mutha 024 ) , is from the nj band youth in asia .

at the time of their release , mutha lps were not widely respected .

however , today they are very popular in the indie records world and among some of the most sought after punk albums in the underground music world .

some albums have been known to sell for thousands of dollars .

this one is the white whale for any serious mutha records collector . only 4 test pressings of this exist , and unlike for example the test pressing for the chronic sick 12

anyway , it is beyond me why this never saw the light of the day . secret syde were well - known and successful at their time - if you can speak in terms of
success
- but at least their first lp was licensed through hosehead in europe . so why did they never release this lp , which is equally as good as their first lp ? if you search the internet , you always stumble upon some intentions through the years to release it , but they never did . i really really wish they will do it some time , because it´s a great band and a great release and everyone should be able to listen to it .
according to popsike , this one sold only once in the past through ebay .
the chronic sick – cutest band in hardcore e . p . is an example of an awesome all around punk release . 1 . the cover is a promo with disgusting , demented looking band members , that doesn’t even include the band name 2 . on the back cover there is a sick logo of a a spike braceleted hand giving the bird , with the band name around it 3 . great punky new jersey hardcore songs to round the full release
to start things off are the first two singles by the absolute pinnacle of british oi / punk / proto - hardcore / whatever you want to call them . has any other band ever written songs that were this hard and this catchy ? doubt it . sorry , no warriors single for all you judge heads .
