POOR BANGLADESH DEMOCRACY THROUGH LESS OR UNEDUCATED LEGISLATORS
In majority, Bangladesh people are illiterate or very little educated people. We have a democratic form of Government. But our Government is made of a National Parliament which has many little educated Members. The Constitution of Bangladesh provides that even an illiterate person may be elected as a legislator, that is as a Member of National Parliament of the People's Republic of Bangladesh!
Today it is widely known that the nationwide corruption, lawlessness, administrative inefficiency, irregular judiciary, bad academic atmosphere, massive infringement and counterfeiting, most inefficient police, and extreme profiteering are the everyday common stories in Bangladesh. As a result, we find that the country is under the overall command and control of the musclemen and rich persons. Majority people do not care for those who are educated, honest, disciplined and law abiding. There are many examples in Bangladesh that Barristers, Advocates, Doctors, Scientists and Professors are defeated in the general elections for the National Parliament by the illiterate and less educated candidates, only due to their money and muscle power.
In addition, the political parties in Bangladesh are also dominated by such leaders having money and muscle power. In Bangladesh, the people mostly vote the political party (that is the candidate holding the concerned party symbol) and not by adjudging the merit of the concerned candidate.
In Bangladesh today Democracy exists in principle, but due to above and many other factors, it has turned into Mobocracy. The country needs immediate remedy. Otherwise, a serious grim future is waiting for Bangladesh leading to total socio-economic chaos and administrative breakdown. As a Senior Citizen of the country, I earnestly appeal to the people to examine the matter with all high seriousness impartially without any tilt towards any political party and try to cause remedy as soon as possible.
