“Peace recipe” (March 8, 2015)

I can already see the future headline which would read "Parties reject proposals made by think tanks".

Proposals in this 'peace recipe' are hundred times better than that of other people, including intellectuals/civil society members who have been rather emphasising on just “dialogue” without any concrete contents. I like the title “Rethinking Democratisation….” it is quite important. Besides, it is also important to rethink “democracy” which has become a clichéd word and used excessively by Bangladeshi politicians and intellectuals. Do these politicians who order and finance violence, death and destruction understand the essence of democracy? They don't value the principles of democracy. If they do understand democracy, why are they then killing commoners on a regular basis?

Everything being said is relevant. However the most important thing is a free, fair and inclusive election otherwise we have to receive and swallow the rhetorics of a non-representative government.
