Starting from the National Parliament, the Election Commission, the Public Service Commission, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the bureaucracy and, above all, the higher judiciary, and the list goes on. The three pillars of state: The Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary have been used and abused repeatedly in the name of democracy. Those who actively participated in raping these sacrosanct institutions are today talking about reforms? The way they are going about reforming and the urgency that they are showing about it only portrays a cover-up, a means of quickly returning to their old ways. Their intent is questionable. The present CG has shown us all that true reforms are possible. The CG has done in 6 months what these so called democratic politicians have not done in the past 15 years. Today, we have an active ACC, the PSC is being restructured, the Judiciary is being made indipendent, the EC is being made fully indipendnent of the executive control. Reforms are being done. What the political parties think they are doing is not important. There is no hurry. True structural reforms will take time as the system has been so badly damaged. And the People of this country are ready to wait. When democracy returns, it should truly return for the people, by the people and of the people. Long live Bangladesh.

Piddly tin soldiers marching past each other in concentric circles, and blessed daughters and sons of dead "leaders" who march to the beat of a dhol-player with an off-beat sense of humour (and rhythm), and bellicose religionists blinded by a light they misconstrue as being divine. Feudalism dies hard and with a vengeance. The parallels between Bangladeshi and Pakistani politics are fascinating and frightening.
