Bureaucracy ailment
For quite some time now, driven by the madness of old age, I’ve had the urge to write this piece. Some might see it as unsolicited advice, or question my right to say such things. That right, however, is nothing more than this: the writer is a resident of the cultural region known as South Asia; two, teaching has been his profession, so it has become second nature to him; and three, he is of age. In Bangladesh, an elderly person is called a murubbi, and murubbis are said to be accorded a special respect. Their words are meant to be heard by the younger ones—though how far that holds true in reality, I do not know. In many countries around the world, the elderly are viewed with a certain care, and even in democratic Western societies, they receive kindness and consideration. These, then, are the excuses from the writer’s side.
Ensure punishment for crimes committed by political party leaders, activists
The practice of occupying others’ property to establish party political offices has long been prevalent in Bangladesh. Numerous incidents of murder, killing, and violence have occurred over this issue. Recently, the nation witnessed yet another brutal killing of this nature. According to news reports, in an area of Narayanganj, a local office of a political party had long been set up inside an individual's personal shop. The actual owner of the shop, despite repeated requests, could not get the office removed. Eventually, when he demanded the rightful rent for the shop, he was brutally beaten to death.
How necessary is reform, and how sustainable can it be?
The word “reform” is short, but its meaning and significance are immense and multifaceted. According to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, it means: “to make an improvement, especially by changing a person's behaviour or the structure of something.”
