Thoughts on Victory

Asif Khan, Circular Road, Dhanmandi Dhaka
December is here again. So will be the 16th of December. Our Victory Day. We have been celebrating Victory Day for the last 37 years. Yet we never felt like victorious in anyway. Instead we felt like vanquished with each passing year. And those, who were defeated on 16 December, 1971, smirk with arrogance and vengeance. With every passing year, these anti-liberation elements are multiplying like amoeba and slowly but steadily enwrapping our everyday lives and the way of our living. The failure of so called secular political parties and intellectual polity to establish at least the feelings of social justice among the masses will eventually create a force that will realize people's expectations through mob justice. Will our intelligentsia wake up?
