Image and the Ks

K: Is for Kansat where legitimate demand of power from our "very successful" development oriented government caused unnecessary deaths of twenty peasants and innocent bystanders including children with injures to many more. The whole affair is a "dark deed" done in broad daylight. Its impact on our images is positive if autocracy is the yardstick while it is totally negative in a democratic environment which we claim to represent.

K: Is for Kriket (phonetically representing "Cricket") where the greatest show on sports arena was enacted during the second Test with Australia in Chittagong. If local news blanketing was the authorities' policy; it was a top class audio visual action played under international coverage, and a very determined Nazi style positive action at that! If however local news blanketing was not the policy then the image value created deserves the inverse (mathematically speaking) of an "Oscar" award !

K: Stands for the Kitchen Market. Prices of all inputs needed for feeding the poor and middle class are rocketing upwards and accelerating beyond control. Meanwhile, the police is acquiring its hands on experience and know-how in violently taming the housewives (our mothers and sisters) who are victims of this price hike. As the saying goes "practice makes one perfect". Despite Ministerial and Advisory shuffling, price hike is reaching the sky and the infinity of space. After all it is a part of free market policy of our elected democratic government! Who are we to complain as free market citizens? We have to pay or perish.

K: Is for the Killing (extra judicial) duly sanctioned by our democratic (?) government! It is for the elimination of evil people through an ethically evil process. "Ours is not to question why" as the famous line of poetry states. Image wise, however, it is another question if we are not in a state of declared warfare against an external enemy of the country. But our law allows it; so questioning it may be itself criminal and anti-state!
