If you’re a minority in this country, tread carefully
There are too many constraints, too many limitations, too many and restrictions when it comes to accepting people in Bangladesh.
I suppose these same problems, to some degree, exist in every corner of the world. Even then, that alone shouldn’t be a reason not to strive for an alternative, for a better life.
Acceptance had been strangled, put on a pike, and spat on. Tolerance has bled out, and is barely breathing, limping on, trying to scream and breathe fire to tell us that we need it to grow and achieve a better world wrapped in “Digital Bangladesh” banners.
I mean, what is it to become “digital,” to achieve “middle-income” status, to stand in par with the top developing economies in the world, and strive for all the glory in the world, when we utterly and shamelessly fail to be tolerant, and, in effect, civil?
