Lal Bahini (Red Force), was the armed wing of Bangladesh Awami League’s labor front Bangladesh Jatio Sramik League that was active during 1972 to 1975 until the Assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15 of 1975. Lal Bahini was headed by Bangladesh Jatio Sramik League President Abdul Mannan. The force was basically a vanguard of the then Bangladesh Awami League and was used to suppress uprising among the workers. The actual date of the formation of the force is unknown. This wing of Bangladesh Jatio Sramik League was never recognized by the government as an official force, but in a public speech Sheikh Mujibur Rahman called them his ''Red Horses''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Fighting against the enemy within )〕 Lal Bahini was dreaded for its ruthlessness in suppressing labor protests in the industrial areas of the country including Tejgaon, Tongi, Adamjee, Kalurghat etc. as well as for fueling riots in the industrial areas. Lal Bahini, Jatiya Rakkhi Bahini and Shecchashebak Bahini formed an unholy nexus during the Sheikh Mujib regime. Lal Bahini is responsible for hundreds of riots that took place in three years that claimed thousands of lives.〔Syed A, Karim, ''Sheikh Mujib: Triumph and Tragedy'', First published 2005, p. 286, University Press Limited, Dhaka, ISBN 978-984-506-153-7〕〔Ahmed, Moudud, ''Bangladesh: Era of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman'', First published 1983, p. 174, University Press Limited, Dhaka, ISBN 978-984-506-226-8〕 == Background == Bangladesh became independent after a nine month long Liberation War of Bangladesh. After the return of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on January 10 of 1972, he directed to draft a constitution for the country which was adopted with four fundamental principles of state policy- Democracy, Socialism, Bengali Nationalism and Secularism on November 4 of the same year. These four state policies are called Mujibism all together. However, though the constitution was adopted on November 4, Awami League which claimed to have been committed to establish a socialist economic structure, on March 25 nationalized all the banks, insurance, factories and mills which were previously taken over by the government after the enactment of Acting President Order 1. Almost 80 to 85 percent industries of the country came under the effective control of the government.〔Ahmed, Moudud, ''Bangladesh: Era of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman'', First published 1983, p. 15-22, University Press Limited, Dhaka, ISBN 978-984-506-226-8〕 As a result of the acquisition of the industries, along with the administrative power the government also got the responsibility of the welfare of the labors who have been working in those industries. This made the Awami League’s labor wing to be more dominative than ever. Under government support Bangladesh Jatio Sramik League soon became a major force in politics and formed the voluntary force Lal Bahini that started working from 1972. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lal Bahini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
