I didn't dispute Al-Zakir. But merely a bit more specific as per their psyche.
Most Bangladeshis are like: "Oh, those two dumb battling begums. They fight, and we suffer. Boo-hoo!"
And then it's like business as usual. They get on with their little lives like busy little bees. It's like as if they are fine with the troubles, and expect someone else to do the laundry for them. They don't fully understand the potentially catastrophic long-term consequences of the events unfolding in this country.
The point being that they are unwilling to solve the problem themselves, get down and dirty. Let alone identifying it. Many allow the media to dominate their views and their very lives. An erroneous mental habit.
I appreciate and respect your efforts in the UK. But I'm afraid that here, it would make little difference. This country, and its people are almost completely closed off from the outside world and media.
It's not a matter of killing freedom of access to information, but unwillingness to access that information. To get outside the conventional. Unwillingness to change for a stronger resolve to be a stronger citizen for a stronger nation regardless of one's ideas and views.
Take for example:
Ask any Awami supporter here as to how their party is "democratic". Trust me, you won't get any real answer. It is this unwillingness to go further to simply reinforce their denial.
Are they a backward society? In a way, yes.
What you did in the UK would remain virtually unknown here. In fact, I didn't even know until you told me. And if it ever surfaces here, the ones in control of the media and $$$ will call you "Razakars" to further reinforce that spectrum of denial, and allow control over them by external stimuli.
Another thing: Statistically, extremely few Bangladeshis have access to the Internet.
The strength and resolve of the public is very weak this way. Call it the "Matrix Effect", coined by @
MBI Munshi .
