Discrepancies!
What a great nation we are! We leave all the expensive granite and marble stones for our bathrooms, hotel floors and staircases and use only bricks, mortar, concrete or unglazed terracotta blocks for building our national monuments such as the Liberation War Memorial or the Shaheed Minar!! We celebrate Bhasa Shaheed Dibash on a day of the year with lots of pomp and grandeur, and send our children to English medium schools for the remaining days. Are we afraid that a granite monument may last forever outliving the life of this nation? Are we afraid that our children when they grow up may remain unemployed if they go to Bangla medium schools?
