Another Bangla year has started. The year 1419 added numerous events of achievements to the history of Bangladesh. It was the year when people of diverse cultures gathered together behind one cause. It was the year when we, the Bengalis, revived the spirit of Liberation War. Millions of people lit the candle of hope to get justice after long 42 years of agony.
But there is other side of the coin, too. The nation got involved in a debate. The situation has taken a critical turn. Many educated people have taken the safe side by supporting the opportunists. We have to remember that the more divided we are, the more vulnerable we are. Conspirators have always played with our emotional sentiments towards religion and freedom at the same time. Often we lose our rationality and fight each other.
Let's hope all our misunderstanding with each other will end in 1420 and we will reunite for a better future.
