Who are running the country?
After coming abroad for my higher studies, I'm observing the political situation of my dear country from outside. Earlier, I used to make the same observation from inside. The way my country is being run presently is beyond any definition. Terminologies like democracy/autocracy/oligarchy/monarchy/demagogue are totally futile to apply to our present political condition; rather a new terminology has to be invented that include all of these. I always like to be proud of my country, even after coming to Edmonton, I happily buy garments with the tag 'Made in Bangladesh'. But what I should say about a country that cannot treat its president properly! It sounds like advisors are more powerful than the democratically elected MPs/ministers.
Sometimes I cry to myself saying, "Would any rational being please replace these incompetent politicians?"
