Good family identity is needed to do politics and if the family members aren’t concerned about politics and don’t support the main person of the family, then it’s impossible to be successful in politics.
History has examples of how kin or tribes control politics and how a large empire can be established from clan politics. Those who have read Ibn Khaldun, the greatest philosopher of politics of all time, and his immortal works, can realize the reasons for the success or failure of the Umayyad Abbasid, Fatimid, Moor, Ottoman, Das dynasty, Lodi dynasty, Pala dynasty and Maurya dynasty, and even the Mughal dynasty.
Today we will talk about the failure of family politics in Bangladesh. In this case, we will discuss the past, present and future plight of BNP, Awami League and Jatiya Party in the light of history and following mathematical rules. For the convenience of discussion, it is necessary to say something about the title of the write up. First of all, the king needs to have good friends. A king without friends cannot be successful. Again, if bad and characterless people, looters, and robbers become friends of the king, the king turns the entire state into a sanctuary for thieves and robbers. Because of the king's friends, the Baiji Mahal, brothels, gambling dens, sometimes become more important than the royal court or the courthouse.
Now the question is: how does the king choose friends? In this case, the king's habits, education-initiation-family discipline and the seeds of good and bad deeds hidden in the blood and flesh of his body develop the king's habits, thoughts, behavior, mind and mentality. Here, if the king has good guardians, good teachers and powerful people, then bad deeds cannot enter the king's kingdom. But his personal life is full of filth. On the other hand, if the king's personal qualifications are of a very high level and if he does not have people from his family around him, then he makes the best people at home and abroad his friends and sets one milestone after another in the history of the world with his friends, such as Emperor Sher Shah.
If you want to analyze the character, habits and bad deeds of bad kings, you can study the biography of the Roman Emperor Nero. He was born into one of the best families in the world. He was a descendant of Julius Caesar, who was recognized as the king of kings of the world. His teacher Seneca is said to be the greatest philosopher and politician of all time. His biological father, Domitius, was one of the leaders of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. His mother, Agrippina, was one of the princesses of the same royal family, that is, of Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar. The problem started when Agrippina left her husband Domitius, who was a holder of royal blood from her own family, and married the son of a military leader named Augustus with her infant son Nero.
Nero's mother, Agrippina, was a slut, ruthless, cruel and power-hungry person. There is no evil deed that she did not do to establish dominance over the Roman throne by using her royal blood, lineage, cunning, uterus and vagina. Agrippina plotted to kill the infamous emperor Caligula and put her second husband Claudius on the throne, causing bloodshed in Rome. Claudius was physically lame and hard of hearing. As a result, he could not join the army according to the rules of the dynasty. In this situation, he gave his claim to the throne to his nephew Caligula, and he left Rome starting living in distant Gaul.
Emperor Claudius had an uncle-niece relationship with Agrippina. When Caligula was killed in 41 AD due to Agrippina's conspiracy, he started working behind the scenes to put his uncle Claudius on the throne, considering him the weakest and most helpless of the heirs. After assuming office, Emperor Claudius continued to do incredibly well in administrative activities, despite his physical defects. With the help of his trusted friend the philosopher Seneca, he set a unique example in knowledge, war victory, and kingship, and because of good friends and good deeds, the authority and intrigue of Agrippina were threatened. To protect himself and the throne from Agrippina, he went out to win the war with his lame leg and returned to Rome after conquering Britain in 43 AD.
Emperor Claudius' popularity reached its peak and two of his three wives were members of the royal family who stood in the way of Agrippina's ambitions. In this situation, Agrippina lured the emperor into a love trap and married him in 49 AD and through trickery forced him to nominate Nero, the illegitimate son of her previous husband, as the future emperor. Then, Emperor Claudius was killed and Nero was placed on the throne and continued to run the entire empire from behind the scenes. On March 23, 59 AD, Emperor Nero brutally murdered his mother.
When reviewing the biography of Emperor Nero, it is seen that his royal blood was contaminated by his mother's sexual practices. Due to the perverted sexual practices of his mother before and after conception and fertilization, his physical structure and birth were defective, which is called cross-breeding or concubine species. The Julio-Claudian Empire fell at the hands of Nero, and those who have become aware of the birth, growth and education of royal heirs around the world by analyzing the incident of Nero, have been able to establish a unique and common dynasty in the world.
The more the royal inner palace and the life of the empresses and the character of the king became free from taint, the more worthy successors were created there and each family was able to rule the kingdom for hundreds of years. The dynasties that were more careful about the birth, proper education and training of the prince in a pure environment, produced statesmen like Caliph Walid I, Caliph Malik ibn Marwan, Al Mansur, Harun, Mamun or Sultan Suleiman.
Leaving aside the historical context, let us now come to the context of Bangladesh. In order not to compare the failure and success of the three main political parties in our country with the birth and failure of Emperor Nero, I request the respected readers to analyze the family system of our country in the light of the chapter on clan love in the book Al Muqaddimah by philosopher Ibn Khaldun. Bangabandhu's kin and relatives of the Awami League had just entered politics during his time. He wanted people from his kin to do politics. Apart from this, he had a large number of friends, most of whom were skilled, experienced and tested. As a result, despite the mountain of failures during his rule, his party became a family party and most of the leaders and activists of this party were involved in Awami League politics through family lineage. But if the top leadership of the party had been educated and trained like the Gandhi family of India, the Bhutto family of Pakistan or the Nawaz Sharif family, then Sheikh Hasina would not have had to flee.
BNP founder Ziaur Rahman did not like the issue of clannism. He did not have friends. He did not even get the time and opportunity to practice political philosophy regarding family formation. However, his body, blood, education, training and character were much like the Roman Emperor Marcus Almas or the Indian Emperor Sher Shah. As a result, he was able to form a political philosophy and a party in the light of that philosophy in a very short time. His party has come to power many times but despite many attempts, it could not transform into a political force with clannism and family dominance like the Awami League.
Jatiya Party founder Ershad tried his best to follow Ziaur Rahman. But due to his physical build, behavior and character not being like Zia, the desired success did not come. We have come to the end of today's discussion. In the context of the above discussion, the formation process and activities of political parties in Bangladesh will not be like those of Europe and America under any circumstances. Due to tribalism, climate, food and habits, it will be like that of India and Pakistan. If honest, capable family members have influence and control over the head of the party, then the leader's success is certain even if his education is not noteworthy. Otherwise, downfall, suffering and misery are inevitable. If there are no capable people in the leader's family, however, if the leader is surrounded by good friends, capable assistants, skilled workers and trusted advisors and teachers as well as philosophers, then he will be successful no matter what his character or capability is. And if the leader falls into the hands of bad people, his downfall is certain. On the other hand, if he himself is evil and creates a gathering of evil people, then every town will turn into a burning hell.
