    Military Dictatorship and Hieratical Political Leaders Failed in Bangladesh

    Military dictatorship and hieratical political leaders failed in Bangladesh Military dictatorship and hieratical political leaders failed in Bangladesh to institutionalize democracy and ensure development and liberty for the people. It looks like that we have to restart from the beginning. As early as 1965 the late Akhter hamid Khan of Comilla Academy had a vision to take government to the doorstep of common people through a local government and micro- enterprises under cooperative with management support from a rural based bureaucrats and reduce the revenue burden of the central government a corresponding reduction of members in the centralized bureaucratic administration. To invoke public propositions and opinion in this regard, the following few points have been innumerate to be further developed in future. 1. Bangladesh was liberated by the toiling masses at great sacrifices primarily by farmers, labors and students, though history did not credit them for their role and instead placed all laurels and benefits of the liberation war to the army, politicians, bureaucrats, greedy elitist and business community to whom all the wealth and privileges and legal concessions of all the Governments have been showered upon. Another liberation war is necessary to liberate real peoples and ensure their development. 2. 5 points were fundamental basis of ensuring all right, entitlement & justice to peoples of a promised Sonar Bangla. On that same basis we have to restructure & reform our executive & judicial functions with maximum autonomy & power to local government leaving only such functions as National security, Foreign affairs, Currency, reserve bank & federal financial affairs, Planning support and coordination, One integrated national Industrial corporation for development of Basic & large Industries, One integrated R & D council for development of Science and technology, with major emphasis on empirical research.

    Bangladesh - Essay

    Bangladesh in Transition Emily Drew Introduction On February 3, 2001, half a million Bangladeshi citizens gathered in Dhaka to participate in a social movement that demonstrated against human rights abuses, economic injustice, and political corruption. At “The Peoples’ Grand Rally,” the United Citizen’s Movement (UCM) presented a 10-point declaration that demanded “strengthening democracy, ensuring good governance and free election, fighting communalism and corruption, empowering women, …and resisting the enemies of independence.”i The rally also spoke out against corrupt state-business relations. “True [economic] development is not possible without fair politics,” said Dr. Qazi Faruque Ahmed, the Secretary General of UCM.ii He derided those opposed to liberal democracy, especially those in favor of military rule, and stressed that they “must be resisted in every ward, village, and town of the country.”iii Changes in local political culture, he noted, would be imperative in developing citizens’ political expectations for reforming national politics. The rally embodied free speech and the right to assemble. Speakers recognized the importance of protecting human rights, and practicing free and fair elections and economics. In 2001, Bangladesh seemed to be moving toward democratic consolidation, as a democratic political culture spread along with economic reforms and increased bureaucratic transparency. Organizations like the United Citizen’s Movement were gaining influence and membership; foreign direct investment increased; and women became more involved with grassroots organizations, and continued to gain financial independence through Bangladesh’s micro-loan programs. By 2002, however, Freedom House declared Bangladesh “Not Free” for the first time since 1975-1976.iv Largely due to press harassment, increased human rights violations, and loss of transparency, this downgrade proves that Bangladesh is not able to maintain its democratic structure and ideas in order…
