BBC poll
From the very beginning when I learned that BBC was going to hold an opinion poll to determine "who is the greatest Bengalee of all times" and place other famous Bengalees in a sequence, I wondered from whose fertile brain this absurd plan sprouted from, because great persons can never be judged in this manner and it will only create controversy.
Recently, BBC announced the result of its survey but to me it seems meaningless and unacceptable because every one of them is unique in his or her field, they were not the students of the same class that their positions could be determined by their performances.
It is very disappointing. We hope in the future BBC will show more wisdom in its enterprises.
