I am delighted with The Daily Star roundtable initiative on "State of Our Polity: Views of the Young Generation" published on April 2007, where a number of successful young professionals at national level (so called city centered!) gave their intellectual thoughts on several important issues. The initiative of the young generation, as I believe, is definitely path breaking for building our future Bangladesh when the entire nation is striving for a free and fair election.I strongly believe that the builders of Bangladesh 2021 would be the young professionals of this generation. But is capturing the views of young professionals from the capital city enough? There are lots of enlightened young people such as local leaders, business entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, etc. working at local level (union, upazila and district). Their intellectual inputs might be valuable if these are properly addressed. Similar dialogues to know the views of young generations will be fruitful on the occasion of the coming national election. If The Daily Star takes the lead, I believe, many organisations will welcome it.
