Okay let the Indians undermine our army and implement the seven point agreement and walk all over us. Ignorance is bliss and the Bangladeshis here seem to prefer slavery and subservience and so what was the point of 1971. We are just replacing one set of masters for another set.
Who were the previous masters?
Anyways mate, forgive my ignorance.
I don't know how to say this, but I'll try.
I appreciate your concerns about this. I agree that such matters are really undermined in Bangladesh. Bangladesh media seem to be concerned about current issues like this year's budget, the constraints to implementing the budget, that guy killed him, the other guy killed the other guy, blah, blah, blah...
Some Indians here say that we don't even need a military!
Our media gives very little focus on military and national security matters of Bangladesh. In fact, most Bangladeshis don't even give a damn about the military. And the Bangladeshi commoners have their reasons to dislike them. They are just you know, ignorant in a way. And certainly frustrated.
I have also come to believe that our military focuses on the wrong things at the wrong time. For example, running businesses is not the job of the military. Their job is to ensure the country's national security. Look what happened back in Pilkhana! Whoever masterminded it just did it right under our noses! And they are still out there. Boy, talk about national security!
And much of it has to do with our political culture. When people get too much into money and politics, they naturally become ignorant of the world around them. And that's how "leaders" are being bred in the political world of the AL and BNP.
The BNP is now calling a 36 hr hartal
Its like they just stand there for an entire 1.5 days and wait to smash someone's skull or car. Don't they have anything better to do? Don't they have jobs? Of-course, those hoodlums are paid to carry out the hartal. It is all money and politics. There is no such thing as principles in Bangladeshi politics. Those two women, Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina wreaked serious havoc on Bangladeshi politics. They did the highest damage of all Bangladeshi leaders in history.
All those factors contributed to the weakness of Bangladesh as a state. And the military can't even do much but just bow to China and India. It is all because of flawed politics and a pitiful leadership. And as far as buying expensive toys or even develop nukes go to counter the military of India or even China, it is too late for those. Hastily buying new toys to show some 'deterrence' is just a waste. Sorry if I offended any Bangladeshis here, but that is the reality. The events of Pilkhana already proved that.
Best thing we can do is wait for those two women to die of old age, follow the footsteps of India and China and hope for brighter tomorrow. I doubt if Tarique, Koko and Joy even have a chance. They are strange mutated versions of the two women.
Bangladesh and her current increasingly powerless citizens (the majority) have been through many, many hardships after its bloody birth in 1971. And still going through them. These are dark, uncertain and difficult times on many aspects, I agree. But I am certain that we can have a bright future.
