Title A name given to the resource "Voices That Must Be Heard" Articles Description An account of the resource The Independent Press Association (IPA) translates articles from the ethnic press (when necessary) and distributes them via web and fax newsletter to mainstream and ethnic press, government offices, nonprofits, and interested individuals. Voices That Must be Heard was designed by the Independent Press Association staff in New York City in response to the horrifying events of September 11. After Sept. 11th, Voices focused on the South Asian, Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. Since February 2002, the project has expanded, selecting articles from the broad range of ethnic and community newspapers throughout the city. Here, the Archive has preserved the Voices collection from its inception until November 2002.

This has been done in a well organized and very deliberate way by expatriate anti-Bangladeshi groups, who must have cheered when the Far Eastern Economic Review and the Wall Street Journal recently depicted Bangladesh as a fundamentalist and pro-Taliban state. The Bangladesh government and those who monitor such incidents should have known that when those disposed to destroy the public image of Bangladeshis hold closed door fund raising dinners for the politicians of this country, such defamation was inevitable. Bangladeshi diplomats living in Washington began a campaign of shuttle diplomacy to counter the anti-Bangladesh propaganda, a heart and soul effort to keep up the image of Bangladesh here. Ahmad and his high ranking colleagues have been meeting with the Bush Administration, mainstream politicians and congressmen frequently. Bangladeshi diplomats have gone to the Bush Administration and U.S. politicians of this country to talk about overall issues. But they must continually face tough questions about fundamentalism, communal problems and the oppression of minority communities. One diplomat told this correspondent that they raised such issues before discussion before the duty-free entrance of Bangladeshi goods to U.S market, general amnesty for undocumented Bangladeshis living here, exchange of high level visits and recent incidents. They have appreciated our stand.
