Dear Alochoks
I know its sad about the condition of the Padma but we should be realistic. Life is not easy and at least we have other rivers. Its not like our songs about the Padma have disappeared. Thats the main thing.
We should all be more broad minded and realise that AL and BNP governments have a difficult job tackling India. We should be more forgiving and more flexible in our relationships. A couple of rivers sacrificed is not too high a price to pay for regional security and cooperation.
We should realsie that India has a lot of problems too. By being symapthetic to India we demonstrate that we are a mature and sophisticated nation.
Above all our politcians have to deal with realities that we, the public, cannot comprehend. We should trust out politicians because they have earned our trust over the years.
Lets be realistic. Who really cares about the tigers of the Sunderbans as long as the Tigers of Dhaka stadium win two matches every year?
We have too many bleeding heart do gooders who just don't live in the real world. So what if the Buriganga is a dead river - at least it kept our waste management costs down so our garments factories could survive in residential areas.
Be practical - like our politcians.
Screw the Teesta and the Padma and any other river. As long as we still have our songs we have no right to complain. Its not like India is telling us not to sing! Give India a break!
