The question as to why we have not seen anybody from the religious minority (Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Chakma, etc.) communities in Bangladesh to hold the highest ranking position (President/Prime Minister) in the government? The saddest thing is minorities are barred from holding not only the highest ranking position of the government but also any top ranking sensitive positions in the Secretariat, Foreign Services, Defense, etc. The question is, how could any society justify such a open discrimination? Yet, whenever minorities approach government officials with their issues, government officials, as usual, shun them by saying that there are no minorities in Bangladesh, and everyone is Bangladeshi. Instead of paying attention to the question of disparity, the Government officials often accuse them of dividing the country into majority and minority. So, problems of minorities forever remain perpetuated. What I see is that no one is interested to address the question of disparity towards minorities in Bangladesh. So, I wonder, can this country prosper by not tapping into a talented pool of human resources constituted by country's minority communities? Does anybody really care about the prospect of this country? Sometimes I think, the country is perhaps suffering from a huge psychological disorder/curse, known as narrow-mindedness, that she has inherited from the Pakistani era. Is there anyone who can lift it? Am I alone having this assertion?
