Student-teacher
Ease public suffering
Since the mass uprising on August 5, it has become a habit for students and the public to block roads over various demands. Over the past two and a half months, we've witnessed numerous instances of road blockades in Dhaka for these demands. While we understand the rationale behind these protests and often express sympathy and solidarity with the causes, protesters must also remember that Dhaka is already a notoriously congested city. Prolonged road blockades can severely disrupt daily life for its residents
Maintaining Respectful Teacher-Student Bonds
We used to read a beautiful poem by Kazi Quader Nawaz in our textbooks when we were children. In it, King Alamgir observed his son pouring water over the Maulvi's feet, while the Maulvi himself was cleaning the dust from his feet with his own hands. The following day, the king summoned the Maulvi to the court and questioned him about this display of disrespect. He asked, "Why didn't my son clean the dust from your feet with his own hands?" The Maulvi replied, "From this day forward, the teacher's head has been elevated forever."
