Population boom
I am amazed at the total lack of any concern whatsoever in Bangladesh about the menacing problem of population boom. That this menace is eating away at whatever little progress we have hitherto made does not seem to attract the attention of anyone either in the media, or the social elite, intellectuals, policy makers, think tanks, and least of all, the politicians. The discussions day in and day out revolve around elections or Hasina /Khaleda and their activities.
How a naive populace is being misled into smugness! Please highlight the fact that the reason and source of most of our troubles is the over population and if drastic measures are not taken immediately, we will face deeper trouble.
Will we wake up to reality and start dong something in right earnest or sleep like Rip Van Winkle and only talk of elections?
