The reality is that we Bangladeshis are undisciplined. Everywhere, from our schools to universities we can see no respect for authority and a casual attitude towards ethics and discipline. In addition we are fond of rumours and speaking behind other's back. In the end it was because of this national disease, which naturally affected the BDR jawans like how it affects everyone else, and incited by some people about the "massive amounts of money being siphoned off by the officers", that they mutinied, without any known plan or anything. I don't think anyone, AL or BNP, wanted to, or even has the capability to cause BDR to mutiny. Do not forget that the public was very much pro-mutineers for the first few days, when the media were constantly repeating allegations about the corruption of the officers. It was only when the bodies began coming out that people belatedly turned anti-mutineer. As I said before, BDeshis are naturally anti-discipline and anti-Army. They are very proud of this attitude, and believe that it makes them look very "intellectual".
