[Reader-list] Yasmin Murshed, English Medium & Pakistani Ambassadorship

[Shambhu Rahmat]

I had the unfortunate fortune of getting dragged to Yasmin Murshed's
son Maher's house once at the end of a long party night, and Ithose of
you who who critique Maher because he owns a Humvee the size of two
city streets, a private billiard room, DJ booth and his own private
bar, all within his little Dhaka palace...all of you want to make some
point about the runaway Dhaka plutocracy and their obscene wealth...

You are all haters

And about Bangla vs English language....

Give it a rest man, 1952 was many years ago. Who cares about Ek
Shagoro Rokther Bimimoye any more

Get with the program!  Mike Davis may call it Evil Paradise, but I
prefer to call Dhaka the Dreamworld of Neoliberalism.

Read on McDuff....
