达卡贾格纳特大学附近寺庙举行的牛肉khichuri活动引发争议，事态升级，成为关于宗教敏感性、校园规则以及学生组织活动权利的重大争议。伊斯兰历史学生群体现在宣布计划在10月16日星期五在校园内宰杀牛只，这一天恰逢杜尔迦节。此前，大学官员曾发布通知，要求学生在校园内避免宰杀动物，但该通知后来被推翻。
A controversy over a beef khichuri event near a temple in Dhaka's Jagannath University in Dhaka has snowballed into a major dispute over religious sensitivities, campus rules and the rights of students to organise events. A group of Islamic history students has now announced plans to slaughter cows on the campus on Friday, October 16, coinciding with Durga Puja. Earlier, the university officials had issued a notice asking students to refrain from animal slaughter on the premises, which was later overturned.
计划在星期五举行的活动与摩诃沙什蒂日重合，这一天标志着杜尔迦节的开始。据BBC孟加拉语版和《每日星报》报道，争议始于10月12日星期一，当时伊斯兰历史与文化系2021-22学年（第十七批）的学生在大学的Muktamancha（露天舞台）附近组织了一场牛肉khichuri烹饪活动，地点靠近校园中心寺庙。印度教学生随后表示反对，称该活动地点伤害了他们的宗教情感。
The planned event on Friday coincides with Maha Shashthi, which marks the beginning of Durga Puja. According to reports on BBC Bangla and The Daily Star, the dispute began on Monday, October 12, when students from the 17th batch (2021-22 academic session) of the Department of Islamic History and Culture organised a beef khicuri cookout near the university's Muktamancha (an open-air stage), close of the campus's central temple. Hindu students subsequently objected to the location, saying it hurt their religious sentiments.
在接受BBC孟加拉语版采访时，贾格纳特大学中央寺庙管理委员会成员秘书乔伊·萨哈表示，学生们在发现有人正在烹饪牛肉后，主动接近了khichuri活动的组织者。他说，由于活动地点靠近寺庙，造成了困扰，他们要求组织者将活动迁至其他地方。随后发生了激烈交锋，直到教授穆罕默德·阿扎姆·汗介入，派遣助理监督员前来平息事态。
Speaking to BBC Bangla, Joy Saha, member secretary of Jagganath University's' Central Temple Management Committee, stated that students approached the kichuri cookout organisers after discovering that beef was being cooked. He said the proximity to the temple caused distress and that they asked the organisers to move elsewhere.A heated exchange followed before Professor Md Azam Khan intervened, sending an assistant proctor to calm things down.
宴会组织者随后将活动地点进一步远离了寺庙，并表示他们并无意伤害任何人的宗教情感。寺庙砖块争议然而，这并不是故事的结束。
The feast organisers subsequently moved further from the temple, and stated that they had no intention of hurting anyone's religious sentiments.DISPUTE OVER TEMPLE BRICKSThis, however, was not the end of the story.
不久后有指控称，野炊组织者使用了属于寺庙的砖块，搭建了一个临时炉灶来烹煮牛肉什锦饭（khichuri）。
Allegations soon surfaced that the organisers of the cook-out had used bricks belonging to the temple to build a temporary oven to cook the beef khichuri.
据达卡媒体《每日星报》（The Daily Star）报道，组织此次野炊的学生最初计划直接在大学食堂烹煮什锦饭。由于烹饪燃气气压不足，该计划落空，组织者遂决定转移至户外地点。赛事组织者称，他们在搭建临时炉灶时，最终使用了在附近找到的砖块，并不知道这些砖块属于校园寺庙。
According to a report by the Dhaka-based outlet, The Daily Star, the students who organised the cookout had initially planned to cook the khichuri in the university cafeteria itself. The plan was scuppered thanks to low cooking gas pressure and the organisers elected to shift to an outdoor location. While setting up a temporary oven, they ended up using bricks which they said they found nearby, unaware they belonged to the campus temple, said the event organisers.
据《每日星报》报道，组织者随后移走了砖块，从食堂拿来一个铁炉，并为这场误会道了歉。然而，萨哈（Saha）对英国广播公司孟加拉语频道（BBC Bangla）表示，主要令人担忧的是烹饪地点距离寺庙太近，而不是砖块本身。
The organisers later removed the bricks, brought an iron stove from the cafeteria and apologised for the misunderstanding, reported The Daily Star. However, Saha told BBC Bangla that the primary concern was the cooking arrangement's proximity to the temple, rather than the bricks.
无论如何，事情还是败露了。据《每日星报》报道，当晚，愤怒的印度教学生举行了抗议活动并组成人链，要求进行公正调查，并对校园内的宗教圣地提供安全保障。与此同时，据该报报道，中央寺庙管理委员会召集人阿焦·保罗（Ajoy Paul）呼吁采取行政行动，以保护寺庙的尊严并确保社群和谐。大学发布两则通知在10月12日的争端发生后，贾甘纳特大学（Jagannath University）的官员于10月14日（星期三）发布了一则通知，以需要维持卫生环境为由，要求学生、教师和员工避免在校园内屠宰动物。
In any case, the cat was out of the bag. The same night, aggrieved Hindu students staged a demonstration and formed a human chain, demanding an impartial enquiry and safeguards for religious shrines on campus, reported The Daily Star. Central Temple Management Committee Convener Ajoy Paul, meanwhile, was reported by the newspaper as calling for administrative action to protect the temple's sanctity and ensure communal harmony.UNIVERSITY ISSUED TWO NOTICESFollowing the October 12 dispute, officials at Jagannath University issued a notice on Wednesday, October 14, asking student, teachers and staff to refrain from slaughtering animals on campus grounds, citing the need to maintain a hygienic environment.
根据英国广播公司孟加拉语频道的报道，该通知提及了达卡南城公司（Dhaka South City Corporation）关于动物屠宰和肉类管理的公告。
According to the BBC Bangla report, the notice referred to a Dhaka South City Corporation public notice concerning animal slaughter and meat regulation.
根据孟加拉国《2011年动物屠宰和肉类质量控制法》，在指定屠宰场外进行屠宰受到法律限制，违规行为可能面临处罚。该通知引发了一些学生的反对，他们认为这是对其组织牛肉盛宴权利的限制，鉴于两天前发生的争议。阿扎姆·汗教授对BBC孟加拉语表示，学校在得知有动物屠宰计划后发布了该通知，旨在防止正在进行的宗教活动期间紧张局势升级。
Under Bangladesh's Animal Slaughter and Meat Quality Control Act, 2011, slaughter outside designated slaughterhouses is subject to legal restrictions, while violations can attract penalties. The announcement triggered objections from some students, who viewed it as a restriction on their right to organise a beef feast, given the dispute that had transpired two days before. Professor Azam Khan told BBC Bangla that the administration had issued the notice after learning of plans for animal slaughter. He said it wanted to prevent tensions from escalating during ongoing religious observances.
当天晚些时候，大学发布了第二份通知，澄清其立场。它表示，关于烧烤活动的最初误解已通过监督员的干预以及各方随后的讨论得以解决。管理层对其早前通知造成的误解表示歉意，并表示学生有权在校园内组织活动，包括涉及动物屠宰的活动。然而，它敦促大家确保一个群体的活动不会阻碍另一个群体的活动。学生组织牛肉盛宴以示抗议大学澄清称，要求避免牛肉屠宰的通知与10月12日的争议无关，但未能平息情绪。
Later that day, the university issued a second notice clarifying its position. It said the original misunderstanding over the cookout had been resolved through the proctor's intervention and subsequent discussions between the parties. The administration apologised for the misunderstanding caused by its earlier notice and said students had the right to organise events on campus, including those involving animal slaughter. However, it urged everyone to ensure that one group’s activities did not obstruct another’s.STUDENTS ORGANISE BEEF FEAST IN PROTESTThe university's clarification that the notice to refrain from beef slaughter was not related to the dispute on October 12, failed to calm tempers.
一群学生现在宣布计划在10月16日星期五举办牛肉盛宴，将其描述为对管理层最初通知的抗议。组织委员会的一名成员在匿名条件下对BBC孟加拉语表示，学生最初曾考虑在杜尔迦节后举办该活动。“由于围绕牛只存在如此多的愤怒，我们曾考虑在杜尔迦节后组织一场牛相关的活动。”
A group of students has now announced plans for a beef feast on Friday, October 16, describing it as a protest against the administration’s initial notice.A member of the organising committee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told BBC Bangla that the students had initially considered holding the event after Durga Puja." Since there is so much anger over cows, we were thinking of organising a cow event after Durga Puja.
但昨天，当校方发布通知称校园内不得宰杀奶牛时，这伤害了学生，”组织者说。
But yesterday, when the administration issued a notice saying cows could not be slaughtered on campus, it hurt the students," the organiser said.
组织者表示，活动很可能会在艺术大楼附近的一片开阔地举行，而不是在寺庙旁边。
The organiser indicated that the event would likely take place in an open field near the Arts Building rather than beside the temple.
据英国广播公司孟加拉语频道报道，组织者已经筹集了捐款并购买了一头牛。据报道，隶属于极右翼伊斯兰主义政党“哈利法大会党”（Khelafat Majlis）的学生组织“孟加拉国伊斯兰学生大会”（Bangladesh Islamist Chhatra Majlis）也表示愿意提供另一头牛。社交媒体上的公告邀请参与者出资70塔卡。
According to BBC Bangla, organisers have collected contributions and purchased a cow. Bangladesh Islamist Chhatra Majlis, a student organisation affiliated with the far-right Islamist party, the Khelafat Majlis, has also reportedly offered to provide another. Social media announcements invited participants to for Taka 70.
贾加纳特大学学生联合会总书记阿卜杜勒·阿利姆·阿里夫（Abdul Alim Arif）对英国广播公司孟加拉语频道表示，学生代表已与大学官员会面，并达成了一项谅解，即活动可以继续进行。
Jagannath University Central Students’ Union General Secretary Abdul Alim Arif told BBC Bangla that student representatives had met university officials and reached an understanding that the event could proceed.
教务长阿扎姆·汗（Azam Khan）表示，如果举行宰杀活动，应以克制的方式进行，以免引发另一场关于宗教敏感性的争端。
Proctor Azam Khan said the slaughter, if held, should be conducted in a restrained manner to prevent another dispute over religious sensitivities.
萨哈还对英国广播公司孟加拉语频道表示，寺庙委员会并不反对学生在校园其他地方宰杀奶牛，前提是该活动不在寺庙前举行或干扰其活动。
Saha also told BBC Bangla that the temple committee did not object to students slaughtering cows elsewhere on campus, provided the activity did not take place in front of the temple or disrupt its activities.
校方已敦促学生尊重彼此的宗教习俗，并确保校园活动不会干扰他人。——完（肖纳克·萨尼亚尔[Shounak Sanyal]撰文）
