'Hirok Rajar Deshe'

Saleh Mohammad Ayub, Houston, Texas, USA
Many of the readers must have watched the movie “Hirok Rajar Deshe” by the famous Indian movie maker Satyajit Ray. In reality there exists such a country, where real life incidents far exceeds the fiction shown in the movie. In this country, people are made to disappear without leaving any traces behind; here people are slaughtered in broad daylight and shown on television. To add to this list, buildings are made to collapse killing hundreds of people, while the owner of the building lives in the comfort and protection of the government. Subordinates kill their superiors. Men kill their spouses and children. Innocents are made to suffer leaving the masterminds out of the purview of law. Journalists are killed when they disclose or attempt to disclose the evil designs of the regimes in power and killers are never brought to book. Monarchy reigns in the name of democracy and the monarchs are two ladies and this country is no other than our dear motherland Bangladesh.
