Life in Dhaka
I am a university student studying History at Drexel University in the US. I am currently in Dhaka for the summer visiting relatives. I have been reading The Daily Star and feel it is both a comprehensive newspaper and a responsible one, admirably living up to its "without Fear or Favour" motto.
I feel what is plaguing Dhaka is lack of foreign investment in different areas. When people visit this country to conduct business, Dhaka needs to provide entertainment for our guests after business hours. While living in the Gulshan sector, I can see that there are numerous amounts of restaurants that are owned by non-Bangladeshi residents or at least serve non traditionally Bengali cuisine such as Chinese, Korean, Indian, American, and Thai. While this is a positive sign, I also feel that this city can do more to diversify life in the city.
While I understand that Bangladesh is a predominantly Muslim country, it should see the value of attracting non-Muslims to its country. After all, we have seen Dubai flourish into a wealthy metropolis.
