Trip to India

During one and half months of our training, we were acquainted with the Indian culture, customs, people, foods and so on. The thing, which pleased me most, is that people of diverse religions, cultures, and languages are living together in peace and harmony. No one can tell who is a Muslim or who is a Hindu or a Christian. They don't have any headache about religion.

The persons, who were engaged in entertaining us, were so friendly, hospitable and co-operative. Anything we demanded for our comfort, they did within a few minutes. They never seemed like hosts to us and never treated us as foreigners; rather they behaved with us as their family members. The reason behind this is that once upon a time, we all were the inhabitants of one country. We are different nations now but as human beings we have fellow feelings for each other.

I was charmed by the beautiful, ancient and historical places of Delhi, especially with the Jama Masjid of Old Delhi and with the newly built Akshardham Temple. The Jama Masjid is very big and nice and I felt a celestial touch when I entered into the holy place. And when I entered the Akshardham Temple, I felt the same divine touch in it.

Besides, I had lots of fun and merriment during our two tours to the historical cities of Agra and Jaipur. Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna is so rich in religious feelings. Brindaban, the love place of Lord Krishna and Radha, also gave me peace of mind.

India through Tata is doing the great job of training the teachers of Bangladesh. Tata took the initiative to invest three billion dollars in Bangladesh, but it is postponed now for political problems. I think if Tata invests, equalising the benefits of both the countries, it can help us in many ways. It can create employment for many unemployed youths of Bangladesh.

I expect one day it will happen and it will be making the bridge strong enough between Bangladesh and India.
