today is the third day of curfew here in dhaka...
we are all stranded at home...
who thought that a brawl between a university student and a non-commissioned army official would trigger such a storm throughout the country?
as far as i understand .. it was ok the first day... the protest was right and spontaneous.. but yesterday's events were politically driven... the government DID withdraw the army camps from the university. didnt they? then what was the point of terrorizing the ordinary people in the streets. i went to the university early in the morning. i had a class at 10.40... as i went there i heard that the classes were canceled. then i saw a procession coming down the mirpur road... if you ask me, most of them didn't look like students. suddenly the mob went wild and the people started throwing stones at the buildings. i could come home somehow...but my TA told me later that The United University building doesn't even have one window glass left unbroken.
you may not agree with me, but we have invited this... we have created a situation for an army-backed government first... and now we couldn't just wait to have them shoving bamboos up our asses. we are thoroughly rotten.
now sit back, you brave bangalees, and suck you thumb.
