We, Bengalees
I am an Indian who was once based in Dhaka and used to subscribe to The Daily Star. Still read it, time permitting on the net. Really liked the beautifully described sense of frustration felt by Rubana Haq in her piece. The lady has managed to amplify the sense of frustration that I as a fellow Bengali and human being felt when dealing with the educated youngsters who could speak perfect Americanised English but could not write two correct sentences.
Let us for once forget the fact we as a race are divided and instead try and work towards enriching the future Bengali generation. Let us not design curriculum that teaches nothing and promotes mediocrity, we Bengalees are far better than that.
Once again my compliments to the good lady, she sure struck a chord in me.
