The root problem
Your two Op-Eds of 30 April had the headings: Solving the Wrong Problem and Treating the Disease. Both were similar in that they mentioned various problems or disease that needed curing and of course the fact that most of the time it was the wrong problem out of a plethora of problems which was being tackled.
Samuel Heinemann, the inventor of homeopathic medicine system, foresaw such problems of a diseased body, and advised that a physician must not concentrate on various manifestations (symptoms) of diseases and get bewildered, but must systematically find the root cause and eliminate it by medication to cure not the disease but the diseased person.
Herein lies great wisdom and I would say that the single root cause of the problems of Bangladesh is overpopulation. If only this can be eliminated, all other problems would be manageable and could be solved with ease without any bewilderment.
