Bangladesh is a land where people of different communities live in peace. Communal harmony is the need of the hour in Bangladesh. The seemingly mindless communal tensions and bloody riots that take place occasionally create a sense of mistrust among the two principal religious communities involved in clashes. The country pays a heavy price for such disturbances through loss of life and property. The explosive situation arising out of the recent happenings on Ayodhya Babri Mashjid issue in India has further underlined the need for communal harmony. Bangladesh is a small country with people of different religions and communities living side by side. Even though there were the seeds of disharmony amongst the various communities, our national leaders were very particular about this and took great care to establish a secular state. It is the duty of every Bangladeshi live in amity and to promote harmony and spirit of brotherhood amongst all, transcending (f) religious, lingusistic or sectional diversities. But communalists of various shades and categories, abetted by the fundamental forces, have consistently harped on differences and encouraged divisive trends. Even a minor and apparently innocuous (c) incident sometimes arouses communal passions and provokes rioting and causes widespread bloodshed.
Bangladesh culture has its inner strength in tolerance, respect for faith and beliefs of others and a general attitude of understanding. All religions are true. Their difference lies only in their manifestations () and observance. Unfortunately, some disturbing trends have appeared and it has alarmed the saner sections of the society. Promotion of communal harmony is of paramount (0) importance and the country's salvation depends on it. If any nation wishes to make sound progress and consolidate its gain in the social, economic, political and scientific feature of life evil forces trying to destroy this should be crushed at any cost.
In Bangladesh we have undisturbed communal harmony. We should maintain it anyhow.
