I am someone who likes to take look at all different corners and comes up with conspiracy theory of my own. That doesn’t mean I believe them or not, but I try to look at something from the other side.

I am glad this mutiny is over without any further bloodshed. My heart goes with the dead Army/BDR officers/jawans and civilians. I wish for quick recovery of the wounded ones.

More or less, we all know why BDR jawans were upset, angry and it is not important what triggered that incident. What important for us to is to understand that we started pouring gasoline around fire and was waiting for a spark to cause an explosion. The system is designed for the Army to rule the BDR and as someone stated very nicely The masters considered themselves an elite class, far above the lowly serfs . We all are acting as if we didn’t know about this disparity, but is that so? This is not the first time BDR took the bloody road to make their point as I believe something similar (not at his large extent) happened during the era of BNP government.

I think it would be wiser for us not to rush to any judgment at this moment as both BDR and Army will come up with their own version of stories that suites them, one that will vilify the other. What we have to figure out is a solution so this may not happen in future. Does that mean do nothing about this? Of course not. I think it would be wiser for the government to create an independent committee, make a thorough investigation on what happened and take strong action based on that. That still doesn’t guarantee a 100% accuracy and people will still be biased, but would be a good course of action. People identified responsible for this should get the harshest types of punishment so something like this don’t happen in future. We should not go for a rampage on eradicating BDR jawans or crucify the whole Army for the corruption of handful of Army officers.

This whole incident opened the Pandora’s box and even if we write volumes after volume, we can come up with a solution due to the magnitude of the issue. Even when I am talking I am taking contradictory standing on similar issues on smaller issues. Well, I am just an ordinary person with limited knowledge, understanding and vision.

So let’s wait and see the next course of action taken by the government. My only hope is something greater comes out of this tragedy that will help BDR, Army, and above all my fellow country men. I hope the wisemen/women of my country will come up with a decent, beneficial solution.
