Our talents
I have a point of view to share with you in relation to the recent joy of our winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I would like to say that for years it has been a tragedy for us that our talents go (and settle) in the developed countries thinking there are better opportunities abroad. But the reality is Bangladesh needs these talents badly. Can't we appeal to them to come back home on the occasion of this Nobel Peace Prize winning which has proved that great things can be done at home too?
Also, I would like to toss my idea that the next Star Magazine cover story can be in line with this. You can find out the root causes of the prevailing tendency among our talents going to developed countries and working/settling there. This is what is termed as "brain-drain." Don't you think that if our talents contribute to the country's development then one day we will also be a developed country? If we can win the Nobel, surely we can expect better things to come in the future. And for that, we need our talents' help. If they leave us, who will help us?
