A fishermen village, who turned into a economic and financial powerhouse city state with high per capita income and very low social crime rate, Lee Kuan Yew trained himself in the one of the best training school in the world (Cambridge) yet he felt he should learn Manderine to be his people's leader. J. R. Jayewardene converted to his country's majority religion Buddhist from Christianity to be one of his people. Mohd. Ali Jinnah being a very secular, turned to lead religion for his people. All of them sacrificed something and devouted their time and energy. List only two sacrifices made by our current and former prime ministers. One already has her house and all offspring settled in foreign land and love to fly out at every possible oppoertunities. The other lived in a glass doll house with all the arrogance one could think of. None of them have least of respect for our people and culture. One has direct foreign connection and one has great foreign influence. As Ahmed Safa portrays it better, Benagalis in general and Muslim Bangalis in particular always lacked the creativity of a leadership as their culture is based on their prehistoric farm based societal behavior and thinking pattern. Evolution that changed us a little that is only in exterior, inner structure remains as same. We Bengali Muslim atleast fought and created our own nation but Hindu Bengalis still ruled by the cousins of Mongol and Afghans, they remain so far subservient. Interesting enough the ruler in Delhi successfully used these Bengalis to create all the existing discords among us, if you like to consider us as a part of Bengali nation. First the Muslim (pakis) against Muslim now the Bengalis against Bengalis. The minion Bengalis is always ready to barter and sale anything of them and that is why they are in this situation. Only pride I can feel is Sheikh Mujib lead us to our independence and Zia lead us to democracy. Unless and until we have learnt to think ourselves using our own thought, without foreign advice, we will be moving pan to fire or fire to pan, and we will be kept on jumping. Instead looking at our own weaknesses we will always blame others. Our buddhijibi will continue 'bogolbaja' and we remain destructively quarrelsome.

Friends While echoing my full agreement with Ezajur Rahman I want to add that it is the politicians who misguided,misled the people n betrayed the cause of the people they vowed to implement. These kulangars said one thing and when throned just acted opposite and worked for self aggrandizement and not for the nation. To me when we got our independence from Pakistan we as Bangladeshis were far far ahead from the Pakis in education(both technical & literal),culture and many of our sons were internationally reputed. We had a very matured set of politicians both left n righ orientd n had a very strong work force as well the desire of a nation to flourish with self esteem n dignity in the comity of nations. The people beleived the politicians n gave them full freedom to steer their future. But the they turned thugs n rogues and killers,looters diluted the spirit of freedom into personal worship or party worship. Moreoever, they because of their incincere, dishonest attutude took for granted that it was the power meant for them and their sychophants n the rest are subjects to be coerced,intimidated oppressed to fulfill personal n party's gain. To keep this tactics alive they resorted to nurturing hooligans,thugs, killers n musclemen all over by thus the sane and innocents populace who were capable of running the nation shrinked them in close door. The departure of the good citizens helped the politicians to establish their reign of terror without any interruption and in the event if there was any which was ruthlessly subdued causing huge spill of blood.The bloody politician created a culture of muscle oriented political platform and he who has more muscle is in the seat of power. Over and above this Bangladesh was always the prey of the neighbouring bestail hegemonic nation Hindustan. Whose prime aim was to undo the peace,stability and economic progress of Bangladesh to turn it to be a subservient country without much say. Infact we have turned ourselves in to the vile plan n now simmering. So, one sane person can easily say that it is the politicians as well the evil so-called "Budhdhi jibis"(majority of them are paid RAW agents) are solely and wholely responsible for the decay of our national spirit paving us blame our luck or incapacity. We have forgotten to spade a spade since calculatively the nation has been divide into two poles one cursing/accusing the other for each others failure. For these Khusuti acts the criminals who had opposed n helped the bestial Pakis to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people of all ages n humin\liate our womenfolk got scot free till date. No arguments should impede the trial of the collaborators whether it is Hasina's Beai or Sheikh selim's beai or Khaleda's near and dear ones. Law is above everybody and should equally be implemented on all with right fairness n justice. Else we will remain bogged down with this scur forever and ever and will be onlookers at the nations who were far far behind us in 1971 growing as Tigers in our vicinity.
If that is so,we will commiting a crime against humanity by betraying the cause of the ocean of blood sacrificed by the "MUKTI JODHDHAS".

Shafi Ahmed is sorely mistaken, and unhelpful, when he blames war criminals for the absence of merit and intellect in our politics (May 16). These are the views that win applause from the very same politicians whom he says are lacking merit and intellect! We are worse than we realise if the death of several hundred intelligent people on our campuses in 1971 explains the lack of merit and intellect in 2010! The fact is that we have a lot of brilliant people in Bangladesh today who cannot enter politics simply because they are unwanted, blocked, and attacked, by our political parties and politicians. Our politicians are responsible for our condition today — nobody else. Any argument that dilutes the responsibility of our politicians is an argument in support of the status quo. It is the politicians and political parties who nominate candidates for election — not the electorate. If the Awami League nominates a cow and BNP nominate a goat then either a cow or a goat will win the election and the public has no say in the matter. It's as simple as that.
