Dear Alochoks
If the contents of this message below are true then the heck with it
all. Lets just hope our President can differentiate between
Bangladesh and Nethri.
Unlikely.
The first requirement of The Nethri System is that you enjoy behaving
like a eunuch. That's why the Bangladeshi political class is full of men
who boss their wives around but just love being bossed around by
their Nethri.
Fetishism should not become a political ideology...
My Prime Minister Can Do No Wrong Said The President.
But why be upset. Lets put it in context. We go crazy because 10
people died for the Language Movement but we don't give a rat's
backside about how many died during the Partition of 1947 or the
Famine of 1974.
I could make a fortune opening a brothel in Dhaka called 'Nethris.'
