Dear Junaid
Yes we do differ Junaid. My apologies for thinking otherwise.
I can insult my nation to make a point precisely because it is my
nation. I'm going to insult it as much as possible because our
democratically elected PMs, Ministers and MPs insult Bangladesh far
more than I ever could. I'm not going to apologise because our
democratically elected PMs, Ministers and MPs never apologise for
anything. Rather, I take the fight to you directly - we deserve to be
insulted because our public affairs are insulted everyday and no one
does a damn thing about it. All we do is talk nicely.
You are selective in your quotes and have a rather literal
interpretation of my words.
My statement `don't try to lecture me on Kuwait' is the perfect mild
reply to your earlier absurdity that I was mocking our labourers.
I rushed to the Embassy because people I know were being beaten with
metal rods and because it is a disaster for our reputation in Kuwait.
I rushed because I am in a position to rush. I rushed because I care.
I work with the Jalalabad Association of Kuwat, Jalalabad Welfare
Committee, Kuwait and Bangladesh Integrated Company, Osmani Sporting
Club, Shikor Cultural Magazine, Morulekha Shilpigushti, Morulekha
Newspaper, Jagoron Literary Magazine, Flood Action Bangladesh Relief
Kuwait, Progothi Drama Club. And I'm the enemy of all the third class
political groupings and hundi businessmen and manpower brokers here.
I've had many dirty battles in Kuwait and Bangladesh at the expense
of my health and wealth. And if I feel like insulting my own nation I
sure as heck will. I'm just writing what a lot of people think. I'll
leave good manners and decorum to you. I've done my politically
correct phase – it doesn't work in Bangladesh. Sure, decorum may
bring you and me together but that's what politician want. They want
you and me to stay busy talking about nice things in a nice way while
they steal our trousers.
My family is in Dhaka and I have been to Bangladesh 4 times in the
last 3 months. My life savings are invested in Bangladesh. What else
is it that you want to know? What other easy assumptions have you
made?
Your call for an investigation into the Embassy incident assumes that
we are capable of making such an investigation. It may hurt your
national pride but the rude truth is that we are incapable of making
such investigations. And the notion that I may be nervous about any
of my comments about AL and BNP is simply amazing.
You do have the right to differ! I apologise for giving you the impression that I thought you could not.
The labourers are not crying out for semons. I don't give them
sermons. I give them a different viewpoint – and that's what they are
crying out for. Don't say you are one of the labourers and they know
more than you. You are not one of the labourers and you know many
things they don't know. This doesn't mean you or I are better than
them. It means people like us have to get involved at ground level
and present a different viewpoint at ground level. People like us
have been off the streets too long and cats and dogs have hijacked
the pitch. It's time to take the fight to them. It's easier to fight
me than to fight those criminals. Your choice.
My family is in Dhaka last few months and I myself have been to Dhaka 3 times this year. Why do you ask about Canada or Australia? Do you
want immigration advice? I'm being rude – sorry. Its just that many
Bangaldeshis ask this question first when they want immigration
advice : )
I'm very touchy about disparaging comments on Western NRBs. That's
another subject. Of course you never said that Western NRBs are
responsible for the mess in Desh. My point was that Western NRBs have
a lot to offer Desh and should go on the offensive whenever they are
put down by people who can't fix their own house. You said the number
of Western NRBs who went back to build a life and participate in the
nation can be counted on one hand. It's not true. There are
thousands. We can discuss this next if you wish.
I never knew my writings show that I don't love Bangladesh. However this is contradicted by the support and encouragement I often receive by email. However I thank you for showing me this possibility.
And you are right – I do have a clear superiority complex over PMs,
Ministers and MPs and their supporters who steal and cheat and feel
no need to apologise for anything.
I'm no zoologist or devil that I should find mitigating circumstances
and third world context for the behaviour of our politicians or the existence of that dirty naked five year old child sleeping next to an open sewer. Our moral and political condition is etched on that child's forehead.
We are truly a first rate nation, but we have simply chosen to be
second rate for too long.
Love
Ezajur Rahman
The poor of Dhaka should be allowed to urinate on Parliament until
Parliament provides adequate toilet facilities to the poor.
