Zafar Sobhan's article on the plight of Proshika's David Biswas (Straight Talk, The Daily Star, June 6 2004) has raised a few questions in every reader's mind. Are we really a civilised nation? Are there no compassion in the minds of people who run our government? Is our legal system devoid of any humanity?

I believe the present government in Bangladesh will go down in history, not only as a kakistocracy (worst possible government), but also as the most revengeful of all governments.
