Student politics?

Md. Rafiqul Islam, Dept of English, SUST
Before being a student of university I heard about the negative sides of student politics from seniors. Since I have admitted myself in a public university, now I am a disappointed spectator of brutal and horrible student politics in our motherland. I started my 1st day of university on 17 December 2004 and I got the chance to count the black and disgraceful days of student politics in our country. I cannot tell you the correct figure of slaughtered students but I can understand the feelings of those families. They are helpless. The only fault is that they belong to the poor class. As they are weak (economically), they are unable to study in foreign universities or famous private universities. These helpless but meritorious students are used as the tools and mortgaged by the politicians to run the country. We lose many students every year and its only remedy is to close the institutions for an indefinite period. The dreams of their parents are buried.
