When you realise the problem, you can address it better....and eventually resolve it. But so many here just want to cover it up for the cheap feel good moment....its sad. I hope people like you gain in influence in BD where it counts.
In Bangladesh, people get up the ladder based more on loyalty rather than merit. Be it government or private corporations. This goes on even in multi-nationals. The only exception being are telecom operators.
I admit that I do not agree with the government's authoritarian ways and the fact that there are many officials who aren't even elected. It wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Saha is of similar root. Hence, the spat going on there. There was some Democracy before. Now, it is gone.
Regardless of their religious/ideological beliefs, I've come to realize that Bangladeshis fared very poorly when it comes to conflict management. And this is a glaring example of it.
The Japanese for example transformed from a feudal culture into a corporate one overnight all those years ago.
I'd rather retire at my place abroad. But, I'll make suggestions nonetheless and express my views while laying low on radar.
This isnt about what the Islamists teach. Its against Gov changing text books by influence of external entity who adheres stone age ganges ideology and their alike people inside BD, confused lots and haters of majority people. Settling and balancing few things which will satisfy the ego. No one was talking about any education systems but some elements forced to look into it after 2010. For your own education you should look into changes of text books first and try to understand their worth, instead of asking unnecessary questions.
Values are not (or shouldn't be) taught at schools. They are largely taught by family. It ultimately comes from there.
They were necessary questions actually, based on actual problems. I think that their goals go way beyond mere text books. Even the article says so. Where were you back in 2013? I remember watching them on TV. Hearing about them from my colleagues. They fell apart so quickly. I had a trouble digesting the reality unfolding before me. It was weird.
Look, there is little reason for these demands in the first place. It's silly just because some guy's comfort zone had been violated. There are far critical issues to address than that. And I really don't think some pagan-inspired poems and fairy tales would make those kids convert to paganism or something. Or make them less loyal to the country. Heck, our national anthem was written by a Hindu.
Right or wrong, they should sit down and feel free to discuss. But, I do not think that'll happen.
