“Big Forces Dhaka Bangladesh”
Monday 14th of October 2024 – page 1
There is no denying: big forces are at work in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Nature - the climate which causes the flooding of the land. The enormous pollution of the factories which poison the water and the air, and clog the drainage system. Then there are the invisible ‘muscle-men’ which dominate life in the slums. The political atmosphere is not very peaceful either. Good contacts there make for the difference between heaven and hell. Young people yearn for Law and Order, something they resist in other cultures. And then we haven't mentioned child labour yet. Is this the reason that there are so many NGO's? A big force on its own.
