Time to look for a political alternative
Experiments with our fledgling democracy have been botched up now for over 23 years and Bangladesh's condition now is akin to that of a small kitchen with 2 headstrong women in charge. The whole place is in a stinking mess because they both insist on preparing and serving what they think best to the rest of the household, like it or not!
I am amused and irritated as well to read in hundreds of articles day after day, servile incantations of pious hopes for sanity to return to the proceedings and patience, tolerance and a compromising spirit to be ignited. On what premise do the intellectuals of our society base their appeals, when there has been nothing but deafening silence to their entreaties for over two decades?
Is it not time now to look at other alternatives?
