“Dhaka and Delhi: A tale of two cities”
Not often one comes across such fluent write-up as Muhammad Aminul Islam's 'Dhaka and Delhi: A tale of two cities' (TDS, June 07). Mr. Islam has said it all -- short and simple, except leaving a big question: Why there is no Arundhuti Roy in Bangladesh? Perhaps many of us know the answer and many of us do not want to know. I do not mean to imply by any chance that Bangladesh cannot boast of its own intellectuals! But should one consider a layman like me as an intellectual, I shall consider this a humiliation and disgrace to me.
I hope I have been able to answer Muhammad Aminul Islam's question; and, yes, Delhi honuz dur austo!
