It was less then 300 years back that the Moguls called the land of Bangala “The Paradise of the Nations” for her trade, plentiful produce and good governance. Unfortunately, BanglaDesh since the English colonial times, has deviated from the course of rule of law which it had followed since the ancient times. Many of us gathered here have been the victims of this lack of good governance or corruption. But does corrupt situation facing Bangla make us exempt from our responsibilities to the land that sustained and educated us? I answer a resounding NO! I say we owe much to this land as her corruption to a great degree is a legacy of the colonial times and this country with her little resources has invested on our own advancement in terms of our education. So it is logical that we invest back to BanglaDesh or help her in her economic emancipation which will also help her in ensuring good governance and a better future for her people.
What we owe:
Statistics show that it takes more than 20 lakh takas to educate a single BUET student. Probably same amount or more is needed for a graduate of Medical College or Dhaka University. Lately, most of these graduates are coming out of the county for various reasons and finding high paying jobs in Western countries. But unfortunately many of us in this brain group become so accustomed to the upper-middle class status in the West that few contemplate about what we owe to land that educated us to have this “good life“.
How We can Help:
There are many ways we can help to pay back investment of education that BanglaDesh has invested on us. I am only suggesting some which I thought is important. And personally, I intend to follow the first course of action. Each one of you as individual can choose your path to paying back |
