British run international "Human Rights" lobby groups seem to think everything in Bangladesh is problematic. They frequently use images and texts from Bangladesh to promote themselves in fund raising activities. It  must be recognised that Britain dominates world NGO industry (having huge implication for national security of developing nation; British charities are no where to be seen in Iraq and Afghanistan if as British Army is doing wonderful development work there!) and therefore has huge influence globally, especially through BBC propaganda(a few years ago Irish terrorists bombed the BBC HQ) and British Council (now the Russians have demanded British Council be shutdown outside of the capital as it is alleged to be a British government's intelligence and sabotage arm). A lot of racist stereotypes of Bengali people, Muslims, Islam and Bangladesh is passed round by British charity workers. Many an charity worker goes on to become an academic, journalist, diplomat.. Sadly very few have had the guts to challenge such nastiness in the guise of human rights and justice over the years. The damage has been enormous to the reputation of all things Bangladesh.

 

Britain suffered devastating floods last year and yet British environmental groups persist in using images from Bangladesh in advertisements. Such images undermine Bangladesh in every way and keep away investors and tourists.

 

Bangladesh is hardly a strong trading nation and yet there is a global demand to boycott MADE IN BANGLADESH clothing being run by British charities like War On Want and Oxfam globally. Of course they do not openly make such demands, and often employ highly manipulated Bengali employees to provide the fuel. The hand of Bangladesh's competitors and hostile neighbour is everywhere playing the organ grinder. 

 

Too often Bangladesh Embassies have been idle. Too often Probashi people have been too deferential, too cowardly or too stupid. It is time we stopped being the tool in other people's agenda. We must not abuse or get angry with British charities, that could only make them take even more sadistic pleasure in abusing us. Also, many sincere people work for such charities but may be using faulty intelligence or understanding.

 

Can you imagine a TESCO or British police or British run Amnesty International or BBC being lame when week after week, month after month TESCO employees try to burn down supermarkets when they hear rumours (rumours deliberately planted) that one of their comrades has been abused, tortured or killed? Can you imagine TESCO reemploying hostile and violent employees? Never.

 

One has to ask how  any company can employ workers who lack loyalty to their employer? It seems many Bangladesh garments workers have nothing but hatred and contempt for their companies. Jobs do not come from thin air. Someone has to take the risk to set up the  factories and source the markets for their products. It seems too many garments workers hate their jobs. Would it not be wise to remove such workers?

 

How about removing factories from heavily built up areas of our cities? That would take care of enemy agents and agitators.

 

Bad and abusive employers must be punished; bad polluting factory owners must be banished- that must be a given. Such an assumption must be at the top of the agenda for government agencies, law enforcement agencies, economic intelligence agencies, and employers trade organisations.

 

One last point. Successful companies thrive on loyal employees. Loyalty breeds productivity and profit. How can it ever be an advantage to abuse workers?

 

 In one survey in UK it was found that over 70% of all thefts and other crimes against companies was carried by their own employees!
