It is the history of india. it very natural to anti muslim secularist indian and pro indians in Bangladesh.
We condemn the killing and pray for the departed soul.

As the following story would indicate the Western Media in general and BBC
and CNN in particular are down playing the atrocities being committed by
the Indian forces on unarmed civilians. Indian troops are more cruel than
Nazis and indulge in arson, kidnapping, looting and rape. Although hundreds
of people have been killed and injured the figure of casualties is understated.

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - Indian troops shot dead a prominent Kashmiri
separatist leader and four other protesters on Monday as they tried to
halt huge Muslim demonstrations in the revolt-hit region, witnesses said.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz, a former militant turned moderate political leader,
was killed while taking part in a protest march close to the Line of
Control, which separates the Indian and Pakistani parts of the
Himalayan region.
A police official said four other protesters were killed on a day of
fierce clashes in the disputed Kashmir valley.
A doctor at Srinagar's main hospital, Manzoor Ahmed, confirmed Aziz
died of a gunshot wound.
"We will spill blood for blood," Aziz's supporters chanted as they
carried his body out of the hospital, signalling the killing could
unleash a new round of violence after several years of relative calm.
Security forces immediately imposed a strict curfew in Srinagar, the
main city in Indian Kashmir and the hub of the 19-year-old revolt
against New Delhi's control over the Muslim-majority region.
Aziz, who was 52, was a prominent member of the All Parties Hurriyat
Conference, an alliance of moderate Kashmiri separatist groups at the
forefront of the political struggle against Indian rule in Kashmir.
The shooting came as Indian security forces tried to prevent about
100,000 Muslims from marching towards the de facto border with Pakistan
-- one of the biggest protests ever seen in Kashmir.
The marchers had reached a point just 40 kilometres (24 miles) from the
heavily militarised border despite repeated efforts by Indian police
and paramilitary forces to stop them with tear gas, rubber bullets and
warning shots.
Police said the day's violence had also left at least 200 people
injured Kashmir has been hit by increased unrest in recent months, underscoring
what locals say is the boiling resentment about the fact that the peace
process between India and Pakistan -- launched in 2004 -- has led to no
progress on the thorny issue that has caused two wars between the
nuclear-armed neighbours.
The latest tensions stem from an order by the state government, issued
in June, to donate land to a Hindu pilgrimage trust.
The decision sparked a series of violent protests by Muslims that left
at least six people dead.
The plan was then cancelled, only to cause riots in Hindu-dominated
Jammu, while Hindu hardliners began blocking road access to the Kashmir
valley -- a move that has badly hit Muslim traders.
The blockade has led to shortages of essentials such as medicines --
prompting the protest march to Pakistan, so that fruit growers and
traders can sell their produce on the other side of the border.
"This is the real face of Indian democracy," said Mirwaiz Umar Farooq,
the head of the moderate separatist alliance, adding that Aziz's death
was a "big loss" to the separatist movement.
"For demanding lifting of an economic blockade we get bullets, while
Hindu fanatics who are attacking Muslims in Jammu and setting their
property on fire are allowed to do whatever they want," he fumed,
appealing for international action.
Aziz, who had been jailed on several occasions for demanding Indian
Kashmir be handed to arch-rival Pakistan, is the third prominent
separatist leader to have been killed since the eruption of the Muslim
insurgency in 1989.
Fresh tensions were also reported along the Line of Control Monday,
with the Indian army accusing Pakistan of another ceasefire violation
that sparked a brief exchange of mortar and small-arms fire.
New Delhi accuses Islamabad of pushing militants into the Indian part
of Kashmir, a charge Pakistan denies.
