So i was reading Jahir Raihan’s ” Ekushey Golpo” that is in our syllabus…..after reading for sometimes i thought , ‘ This is bull crap, why should we read something that has become almost obsolete in nature.Why no one really cares about liberation or those who were slaughtered because they strived for it. Everything with a relation to the 1971 war now-a-days are just contextualized text-book items. Politicians from different parties praise the war-veterans and those victimized by the cruelty of the Paks but thats only thought provoking flamboyant speeches…no one sees liberation war veterans (well not those in political parties) driving a nice car or living in a nice house do they? Instead they beg for food ,drive begging carts, die from want of medicine , medical attention and money…Instead we have a butcher as our agriculture minister, a leading woman who pays more attention to her hair than Gwneath Paltrow and another leading woman who talks about improving education in bangladesh and sends her ‘Victorious’ son to the states to study so that the loo-air of BD cant touch him’
They say picture depict the reality and even the dead can talk through the B/W panorama of a silver-halide photo-strip…so do they?(this is an actual photograph from Rayerbajar-mass slaughter site)
Often some intriguing thoughts come to my mind:- (more…)
