[ALOCHONA] NRBs in Saudi Arabia

I am new, looked at todays (22.03) mails, few looks interesting,
specially those on Kuwait issue. As I am writing from Saudi Arabia, a
small pinch of , the agony, pain and sufferings that these unpaid and
maltreated workers has to go through, is felt. Can not realize in
full but a little pinch. Hunger is only realized by the hungry. The
debaters indulged themselves in sophisticated wordings that like the
state department's release do not shoot the arrow to the bulls eye.
Origin of the whole trouble is `recruitment', wrong people for
wrong job, for wrong incentives for wrong (inflated) cost. It seems,
so far no one bothered to look into the real issue. Perhaps the
perpetrator's strong link with the powerful. When the system fails to
provide handful of jobs yet successfully created enough barricades
and obstacles to all the available opportunities.
3 to 4 million jobs that creates a safety cushion for the economy
and for the society, as a major contributor to the national
exchequer, systematically being neglected and undermined. Recently,
joined the bandwagon of the western politics of hatred and acrimony
against the Mideast's society that also spills over the poor
Bangladeshis. Uneducated poor and dangerously politicized, half
educated and poorly qualified professionals from the systematically
destroyed educational system, from the middleclass  who found in
their desperate quest for a living and on their own initiatives
landed in these countries only to stand alone for their own causes.
Government and its local embassies were not any hope, the officials
manned these places hopelessly untrained. They have less negotiating
power, their diplomacy usually proves inefficient, their prudence and
working abilities demonstrates poor output.
When, little improvement could have benefited the country
enormously, left with such an incapable situation only proves that
how the whole machinery wants to put, not only the expats in serious
uncertainty but the whole nation at stake. As this has been done in
every aspect of our national resource building.
Singing patriotic songs become the only means to make known how
much they love their country, when the country in last 37 years
attained very little, in relative or absolute terms, rather lost big
infrastructures what it had. But no one would agree to accept that.
Because they do not like to see their mentors are maligned.
2 million expats in Saudi passing fearful days, baily road, press
club, national media has no time and energy to focus on the matter
effectively. Human rights, civil rights national rights, human
dignity, national sovereignty does not imply here. A superfluous
notion, false pride and alien behavior eating away the vitals, the
traditional values of our nation. Yet the literates as usual busy
composing their next episode of unethical comics. What a pitty. Many
do not see this, they do not want to see this. They want us to think
on something else, more flashy.
It is my conviction that economy has been systematically
destroyed, just see what has been built (with all the depriviation)
during 24 years of pak rule, world biggest jute mills, numerous
cotton and textile mills, sugar mills, steel mills, hydroelectricity,
three big universities, monumental parliament house, plan for nuclear
power etc. In 36 years how many Jahangirnagar university were built,
how many steel mills, paper mills, hydro power nuclear power plants
were set up, rather made to disappear what we had. This comparison
will appear as a dangerous phenomenon to many. As they simply can not
fathom the waist breaking hunger and biting cold  or deprivation.
Half of the population remain in such a inhuman conditions simply do
not move them in its true reality, perhaps, because they have spat
their mentors in this case.

Seeing a cleaner eating on paper on the roadside in Jeddah, when
I offered him a `hardees burger'  he wondered `burger ki bhai', like
wise indulgence of our literates never really go deep into our real
trouble. Look at any institutions all occupied by the cronies. We
failed to build any credible institutions then blaming everything to
politicians. If the teachers in our unis do not understand what is
good and unitedly  fights for it, passing the blame to others many
finds it tenable. When the main institutions suffers from credibility
and professionals dance like wolf they say- democracy.
No wonder with a significant force society has been divided in
dubious ideals, AL, BNP, that let the million to perish without basic
necessities. Few with lofty ideals but no sense of human feelings and
characteristics managed to gain a significant power to exert their
pressure, breaking us further, destroying our remaining basics with
clever design. If I may quote one- why Dhaka University kept
preoccupied with issues not mainly related to education, so that half
literates can be manipulated better. How our primary and secondary
education made to suffer under the hands of incompetents. Just find
out how many of those with lofty ideals strongly urging for a good
device to educate our nation. Very few.
When they clamour for own literature, poetry, song or drama and
go against foreign, of all these, it is only because the cheap and
low quality of their song, novels, drama can be marketed for sale.
But they never see the foreign politics, unfair trade practice,
foreign interference, subservient policies and oppressive rules and
regulations of our governance, and destruction of our economy,
because they make their living out of it.
Many with malicious behavior, submissive attitude and subservient
thinking that is being propagated through the powerful media, acts of
those effectively remain at large, those who sees them already
incapacitated by the national and international policies.

We should strongly urge to educate our population first, mainly
on commerce and practical science. Next time you go on vacation, I
would urge being your compatriot, visit your primary or secondary
schools, check their library and spend 10 riyal, dirham or dinar to
donate text books or learning tools. These should be your best gift
to the nation and to those who after 37 years of our dream fight
still made to live in subsistence.
Sending those illiterate laborers to Saudi, or middle-east, who
sent bulk of the remittance deserve serious attention. Our system
will not or can not assist much, but you can really help.
It is not their religion, not their culture, but it is our
national economy and pride all at a stake. 7 crore of your brothers
or sisters when lives on less then 100 taka (3 kilos of rice) as
human their only right now is food, not their thinking pattern or
what new tradition they should adopt.
