History of Bangladesh

• Just now elections were concluded in Bangladesh and congratulations to Sheikh Hasina for winning another term.
• But I feel Indians have nothing to celebrate about this.
• Indians feeling happy and celebrating is like "Begani Shaadi mein Abdulla Diwana" meaning "Rejoicing at someone else's victory". It is pointless and meaningless bordering on crazy.
• I will share few links which will make the history of Bangladesh too apparent.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaleda_Zia
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziaur_Rahman
• After studying the above links, I can draw a few conclusions.
• Also I have read some earlier material regarding Bangladesh and if you go through the points I have mentioned below, you will realise that Indians have nothing to rejoice about who is in power in Bangladesh.
• When India was getting independence in 1947, Jinnah wanted Calcutta to be the capital of East Pakistan but due to reasons where your guess is as good as mine that was not to be.
• In 1948, India took over Kashmir and Pakistan objected and so the situation turned into a stalemate.
• In 1948 India invaded Hyderabad and annexed it.
• In 1950 China invaded Tibet and captured it.
• In 1959 Tibetan uprising was there which China crushed brutally.
• In 1961 Goa was invaded and India incorporated those territories into India.
• In 1962, China invaded India and captured Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh. And then China withdrew from Arunachal Pradesh.
• In 1965, Pakistan sensing India's weakness thought would capture Kashmir through Operation Gibraltar but they were beaten back.
• Since 1965, India and USSR came closer and closer when Lal Bahudur Shastri was suspiciously poisoned by the Soviets in Soviet territory (Tashkent).
• Indira Gandhi then worked closely with USSR to dismember Pakistan which was acting like a thorn in Soviet Union backside. Remember Soviet union stretched close to border of Afghanistan in its hey days (there was no Tajikistan, Uzbekistan etc)
• Pakistan had allied with US and had opened its territories for military intelligence against the Soviets.
• So USSR agency KGB worked in Indian and Soviet territories along with Indian authorities to dismember Pakistan. The supporting video proves it.
• They gave training to the Commandos etc and the think tank People behind Bangladesh or who were to lead the country to the future.

• We can know how Soviets or Communists ruled the territories surrounding Bangladesh for decades to come especially where there are Bengali speaking public namely West Bengal and Tripura.
• That would not have been possible if there was no Soviet involvement in the formation of Bangladesh.
• Now there was 1971 cyclone in Bangladesh which was mismanaged and then West Pakistan were not willing to hand over power to the Sheikh Mujibur Rehman from East Pakistan.
• Add to that there was more than a 1200 kms of Indian territory separating the two Pakistans.
• It is a logistical nightmare.
• Then India intervened and defeated Pakistan and West Pakistan soldiers surrendered.
• Subsequently Bangladesh formed and it dragged on.
• The event of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman assassination was a tragedy and that is the event which is affecting politcs even today.
• Sheikh Hasina is Sheikh Mujibur Rehman daughter who was at West Germany at the time of assassination.
• Subsequently she came to Delhi, India and waited for opportune time to return to Bangladesh her home country.
• Now who assasinated Sheikh Mujibur Rehman? Maybe it might not be known ever. Maybe it was the CIA. It is logical. Pakistan and US were allies and they lost Bangaldesh. India and USSR had ally in Sheikh Mujibur Rehman. So the CIA eliminated Sheikh Mijibur Rehman.
• Then there was General Zia Ur Rehman. His wife was Begum Khaleda Zia.
• As far as we Indians know there are only two leaders of Bangladesh Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina.
• And in 2018 Khaleda Zia has been sent to jail for 5 long years.
• When she emerges, her career would be effectively be over.
• Form Indian view, anyone in power in Bangladesh has to be friendly with India in particular and West in general.
• Else they will not survive.
• In the Cold War era things were different, there were two blocks led by USSR and USA.
• Now there is a general bloc, that of International nations.
• And since India is such a big fish in the Indian subcontinent area, Bangladesh has to subscribe to it.
• If we look at the "Hindu" article above given by link, we find out that BNP i.e. the party of Khaleda Zia was a force to reckon with till 2008.
• Now we have to assume that in 2008 elections were held perfectly in "free and fair conditions" as there was coup in 2007 and there must have been tremendous International scrutiny for 2008 elections.
• The BNP boycotted the elections in 2014 and now in 2018 elections they simply got wiped away, "faded from public memory".
• Now there might be allegations of vote rigging and so on. But my point is whoever was in power would have done it.
• Now the West and India will favour someone who will carry out their "dictates".
• They are hardly bothered about the Bangladeshi people.
• Any one party would have dominated those people one way or the other.
• Thus I will say it hardly matters to Indians whoseover is in power in Bangladesh.
• Nationalist Hindus like RSS will never achieve what they give out in posters and that of incorporation of entire Indian subcontinent as one unit.
• These hard core Hindus may want the land of Bangladesh but they are not interested in the people who are I read somewhere 99% Sunni and with one ethnic background.
• Now where will the people go from the lands.
• One can't carry out genocide against 150 million people without destroying the land and everything around it.
• Thus it hardly matters to Indians.
• Added 4th January, 2019
• Pakistan was dismembered by Soviet Union and India efforts in 1971 but Pakistan got its chance for sweet revenge against Soviets when it was staging area for Global Jihadis (Mujaheedin) during the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan.
• The result was Soviet Union got its own "Vietnam" and had to withdraw after losses and then due to global politics the Iron Curtain fell and Soviet Union collapsed and broke into 15 countries.
• Communism simply melted away resulting in an International community of nations like we see today. (Contrary to popular belief it is not Unipolar or Multipolar world but a community of nations who have to work together now)
• It may also be "Law of Karma" at work. What you give you get back in return with interest (very likely). So happened with Soviet Union and Pakistan.
• Also we have read reports that 3 million were killed in the Bangladesh War for Independence. I will say that it is false news, fake news.
• The actual casualties would have been far lesser maybe 1/10th or even less. 
• The 3 million is myth. Sheikh Mujibur Rehman must have told 3 million were "lost" and it is not the same as "died".
• Those who were "lost" became refugees and then citizens of India. Or were simply dislocated from one area to another.
• Also half of casualties or more perhaps would have come from the Freedom Fighters and Indian forces backed by Soviets who targeted the people who were "Unionists". No one talks about their human rights abuses.
• Also similarly 1 million women were raped is also very likely "false news".
• People indulging in "fooling around" cannot be termed as such.
• It is fake news to legitimize the Bangladeshi freedom struggle subsequent to the event.
• Like they say "history is written by winners". It should be "false history is written by the winners" as no one questions them subsequently.

Zero Movie

• Watched the Shah Rukh Khan movie Zero at PVR Cinemas, Koramangala.
• I liked the movie.
• Inspite of what has been said about the movie, I liked it.
• As an Indian one should have no problem watching the movie.
• This movie is made by Indians about Indians and for Indians.
• Any other peoples may not like it.
• I salute Shah Rukh Khan for this effort.
• He made his height short.
• He knows he is King Khan but still he made himself as dwarf.
• Basically he tested the world, the environment everything.
• He made such a bad movie where his entire larger than life persona is simply destroyed.
• He tried making such a kind of movie with "Fan".
• He is testing.
• Let us see how much hit he takes.
• He is a very successful businessman.
• Surely he can take such kind of risk.
• And I feel he is not much affected.
• People criticised the movie but if anything Shah Rukh Khan only emerged stronger.
• In fact if such a movie can make 100 crores than nothing like it.
• People will still flock to theatres to watch SRK next movie.
• They will still go to Bandra Bandstand to watch SRK outside his residence and so on.
• Coming back to the movie, SRK goes to Mars in the movie.
• And if it would have been a Hollywood movie, they would have focused mainly on the Mars trip.
• But since this is an Indian movie, they focused on human emotions like love story and heartbreaks and marriage and so on.
• The thing is one should forget if a trip to Mars is ever possible.
• Just watch the movie.
• Here I would say that I watched KRK review and I do agree with his points
• There was no need to show Anushka Sharma with speech impairment. Just showing that she was bound to wheelchair would have been enough.
• Next if Indians go to US and become astronauts and scientists then where will US people go? They will not go to "graze on green grass like cattle" will they?
• Zeeshan Ayub also does a good role in the movie I must mention. 
• Basically all the people have done their roles perfectly.
• The film can be divided into three chapters : At Meerut, At Mumbai, At US (NASA).
• Worth watching according to me.
• Maybe if not big screen than on TV or online.
• ADDED 4th JAN 2019 
• The reason SRK made this Zero movie the way it is is because he was harassed when he made Raees.
• People from Shiv Sena and BJP had demanded the film be banned.
• Then they relented and wanted the movie to be screened to them before release.
• It means that Censor Board has no meaning in the country.
• These people the so called Hindu Nationalists under the garb of nationalism are a law unto themselves.
• SRK had to show certain scenes in the movie Raees with lot of "pruning".
• In fact in Raees, SRK a big hero was made as a Zero by these so called Hindu nationalists who are basically Goons and Goondas who demanded a lot of changes.
• So he made Zero which was initially Zero to begin with and no one would have any objection to begin with.
• In effect it must have been deeply satisfying to the SRK soul to make a movie liek Zero.
• So he made a movie which was already "Zero"
• Another point SRK has done tremendous effort for national integration.
• Basically SRK has his origin in Pathan culture of Afghanistan.
• And has respect for Punjabi and South (mainly Tamil) culture.
• That is why in majority of movies Punjabis and Tamilians are shown in favourable light including in Zero.
• Anushka Sharma is half Afghani and half Punjabi in the movie.
• Madhavan is Tamil scientist and so on.
• SRK has done his effort for national integration like he has always done in his earlier movies as well.

Tumbadd

• Watched the above movie "Tumbadd" on Amazon Prime Video.
• Amazon Prime gives the trivia that this movie took 5 years to complete
• And trust me this is worth watching.
• The creature effects are too good.
• The ending is surprising really.
• "Jaan Bache to Lakhon paye" There is a saying in India. "Means if you saved yourself means you made millions"
• Trust me life is precious.
• Here also the story is something like below. Spoiler Alert.
• The First born Son of a Goddess (who has produced 16 million children) has never ending wealth but is perennially hungry.
• The other children of the Goddess desist the first born as he takes all the wealth and the food of the world.
• Then the Goddess keeps him in her belly and promises he won't be trouble to the others.
• The unlimited wealth in the form of gold coins is in a pouch tied to the waist of the Goddess son.
• But food is unavailable and there is way to get the wealth by offering wheat dumplings and collect few coins which falls out whole he is busy eating.
• But then the protagonists become greedy and take many dumplings and it i observed that for each dumpling there appears different monsters.
• If one gets bitten or scratched then one becomes a vegetative state and is perennially hungry again.
• Only those can be disposed off by burning.
• Worth watching.

Water Therapy

• I had written a blog post as to how ou should drink plenty of water.
• https://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2018/11/drink-plenty-of-water.html
• I have further something to add to it.
• If you have to drink 3-4 litres of water daily I suggest you do it as early as possible in the day.
• Means you should drink 1 litre of water as soon as you get up.
• I would like to make reference to one Dr Anuj video which I had received on WhatsApp.
• Same is available on Youtube and it is as below:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvtdDna0G8
• Basically what Dr Anuj says that there are three Mantras for leading a disease free life and those are listed as below
• He says one should drink 1 litre of water immediately after one gets up in the morning does not matter if one brushes the teeth or not. That may be warm or cold not mentioned but preferable warm.
• 40 minutes after having food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) one should have 1 glass of warm water. Here he was specific about warm water.
• He says we should always drink water while sitting and not standing.
• The above are the three mantras and additionally he says that the water we drink should have a PH value of 8.5 ideally and there a machines available to measure it and if possible one should install those.
• Now let me get back to what I have to say. I am no Doctor I must say. I am a normal person.
• According to me, I play no emphasis to sitting or standing. You can drink water while sitting or standing it does not matter. Important is to drink the water.
• Next is by personal experience I recommend you drink only warm water.
• Whenever you are drinking large quantities of water like 2 glasses and above you should drink warm water.
• Hence you should buy a Kettle which I have also bought and when you keep 1 litre of water and switch it on, in 45 second the water becomes warm enough to drink.
• PH value is technical term and I do not know about. I must say drinking water is important and PH value is secondary.
• After food you may drink water or not depends on your body's desire or you may have a sip of water.
• Important is that in the course of the day you should drink 3 to 4 litres of water in the course of 24 hours.
• That is the point. Dr Anuj in the video does not mention how much water we should drink.
• A simple Google search reveals "A 150 pound person should drink 75 to 150 ounces of water per day"
• Converting to litres and kg it turns out "A 68 kg person should drink 2.2 litre to 4.4 litre of water per day"
• Based on the above we can make a table:

• Weight	Water Recommended (min)	Water Recommended (max)
  (kgs)	(litres)	(lites)
  68	2.2	4.4
  50	1.62	3.24
  60	1.94	3.88
  70	2.26	4.53
  80	2.59	5.18
  90	2.91	5.82
  100	3.24	6.47
  110	3.56	7.12
  120	3.88	7.76
  130	4.21	8.41
  140	4.53	9.06

• Thus if we consider just the minimum values if you are 100 kgs you should drink 3.25 litres of water minimum.
• Drinking water is only valid if you drink based on your body weight.
• And you should drink only warm water unless you are just taking a sip.
• If as per a pattern you are drinking then you should only drink warm water.
• Also it is advisable that as early in the day you should complete the daily quota of drinking the water.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then nothing like it. Just don't wait for the day to progress or end for drinking the water or you will never be able to complete the quota.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then any water you drink subsequently may come from "sips of water" which may not have to be warm.
• It is like some homework or any work given to you and when you complete it before time, the rest of the time "you earned it".
• So if you drink the ideal water preferably 3 litres of water as early in the day, subsequently you do not need to "force feed" the water to yourself.
• Trust me drinking water if essential to prevent ill health and avoid problems like back pain.

EVM Exchange

• There is a term which goes beyond EVM Hacking and that is EVM Exchange.
• I have a fear that BJP may indulge in large scale EVM Exchange to ensure its victory in 2019 Elections.
• In Telangana what happened.
• It may be possible that the EVM machines were "pre fixed".
• "Pre fixed" ensured that TRS emerges victorious.
• TRS is an agent of BJP to ensure that Congress does not emerge as a threat in terms of numbers from Andhra-Telangana region.
• TRS was banking on 2019 elections to be "pre-poned" and held under the garb of "one nation, one elections".
• But BJP was not willing to risk its mandate. Also it did not want to do something as drastic as that.
• And so when common elections were not happening, TRS decided to go alone and suggested early elections and BJP power in Center helped it regain power.
• Thus this pre-fixation of EVM machines may happen.
• Also EVM's may be exchanged like a truck loaded with "pre-fixed" EVMs may be replaced with ones people voted. Like it happened in Madhya Pradesh which was widely circulated on Twitter.
• All these plans would be in place for BJP return to power.
• When Bharat Electronics (BEL) the company which manufactures EVMs says that EVMs cannot be hacked it may be true.
• But it is silent on the "pre fixed" EVMs.
• Also pre fixed EVM's to be exchanged is more of a logistical issue than a technological issue.
• All those may happen in 2019.
• People need to remember that it is possible.

Aquaman, Spiderman into the Spiderverse

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Aquaman

• This 3D movie was watched at Sandhya 70 MM, Madivala.
• I liked the movie.
• Special effects are amazing.
• I guess that effort of the actors would have gone down tremendously due to the special effects.
• It is a masterpiece.
• Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman and others are just perfect for their respective roles.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spiderman into the Spiderverse

• This 3D movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• A black Spiderman is good but why they kept the uniform black beats me.
• If you embrace a black Spiderman you should be prepared to hand over the uniform as well and not make the costume of the black Spiderman black.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Kedarnath, 2 Point 0

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kedarnath

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere
• I liked the movie 
• Basically this movie shows how an inter faith love story happens.
• It also shows like a Biblical flood happens and the "chosen people" leave the place.
• Due to the hero's love story, the Muslims are made to vacate the area.
• And then the flood happens.
• But our hero returns to save his lady love and is killed in the process while the heroine is saved.
• But then the temple is rebuilt three years later and the Hindus return.
• But nothing is mentioned about the Muslims residing in the area whether they return or not.

------------------------------------------------------------
2 Point 0

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I must say this movie concept is too good.
• It has an underlying message of saving the birds and bees and plants.
• Because human life depends on it.
• A group of birds flying together and then coming together to make a big monster or bird has been explored earlier.
• It was seen in Timothy Hutton movie The Dark Half where bunch of birds flow around.
• Also a music video I had seen where a flock of birds come together and become a huge moster and chase a man down the street.
• The inspiration for this movie could be many, Bird Man, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Ant Man, Aliens, Dark Knight and so on.
• But leaving all aside, the fact that such kind of movie could be made is itself remarkable.
• I mean the thought came about itself amazing and commendable.
• While in India movies are made on marriage and love story, this movie can be compared with the best in the world like Hollywood.
• Since made and thought in India, that is why it is amazing.
• Because India is a backward country and this is remarkable.
• There was already Robot and so 2.0 was made.
• It is like only toppings were added.
• If it would have been a stand alone movie, it would have been even more remarkable.
• 3.0 is nothing but Ant Man.
• Movie is definitely worth watching but it may not be on big screen. But worth watching anyways.
