Democracy...
Tahsin Hyder Maple Leaf International School, Dhaka
The great sons of the soil fought for our freedom. For their courage and bravery, ours is now an independent democratic country, but is it fully democratic? The word democracy means it is for the people. We may say that we are getting advantages of democracy, but what about those who are working in our homes, what about the people who are working in the streets and searching for jobs, not being educated ? If we ask them -- what is democracy? Can they answer? They just think they need to wake up in the morning and work for survival. Democracy also means it is of the people. Are the right people running this country? We do not even see debates or great competitions among politicians. Democracy also means that it is by the people, but politicians always quarrel about fair elections. Another serious problem is that many do not care about voting, because they have lost faith in politicians. I am not saying that the governors do not do theirs jobs, but much more must be done to call Bangladesh a country for its people.
