Intellectual poverty?


Except a few exceptions, our intellectual property seems to be tailored by political sponsorship, if I could define them and detect their instinctive impulses properly. Plainly, their possessive ambition whirls about the murky political axis. To some extent, this framework has been shaped reverse to its counterpart western discipline. From that standpoint ours may refer to intellectual poverty, I think, which is just a leftover of the previous high productivity before our independence.

Right at the moment our democratic horse has become a docile donkey and needs whipping to push forward. I on behalf of many who share this view, urge the existing intellectual community of Bangladesh, also those who are directly entwined with the present political impasse, to help the political parties, thereby the nation, to enjoy the inherent fruits of democracy.
