Some political realities in Bangladesh
Almost all football fans follow one rule rigidly: if for some reasons one once support a football playing country, he never takes away his support for that country. This observation has a pathetic recurrence in politics-most ones always vote for same party. No matter how qualified the candidate is. Its’ a political inertia that force most people to discover excuses when candidate of his party is less qualified. It has now become a social norm to follow one party for generation after generation.
We are only following one feature of democracy-election. But what we are doing –we are forming our opinion once for entire life. Our people dislike democracy, they dislike change, and they are unaware of their non democratic nature.
This is a dangerous form of extremism.
When we are reading newspaper we read papers that support our views. We don’t want to read actual news rather we like to read news distorted in favor of our party. When anyone points out faults of our preferred party instead of accepting it we start pointing out faults of opposition party. We always accuse other parties.
We have accepted these practices of politics. We think -in politics there will happen corruption. We accepted much earlier that for doing various tasks we have to offer bribe. Its not a fault of politician that they are corrupted. We regard that they have rights to be corrupted as they spend lots of money at the time of election.
Politicians will steal public resources and will direct general resources to special groups. We all accepted it.
The most disgusting thing is: when a politician of our preferred party is doing corruption we tend to overlook it, even many enjoy it that personnel of his own party is doing corruption.
When politicians of other party do corruption we say its their chance to do it and our chance will come sooner.
Most of our politician are business person or are tools of business persons. Day by day we are reaching towards establishing an idea-we want such political system under which poors are extremely poor and rich are extremely rich.
We have silently accepted many things-we will never raise our voice against any thing. We don’t have anything but eye and ear-as we only do watching and hearing.
Waiting for the days when our people will be able to use their head, mouth, eye, ear and all other organs to establish a political system appropriate for a country like Bangladesh.
I want to work very hard without hope for any reward to establish such a political system with others.
