Abstract

Living in Bangladesh presents many challenges, but the diasporic life of non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) is not a bed of roses. Therefore, let’s not divide ourselves on the basis of who lives where and why. Our focus should be on making Bangladesh a safe and stable country where those who want can freely participate in politics without fear of oppression. As the likes of professor Riaz receive hateful comments, underprivileged Bangladeshi migrant workers or professionals are ill-treated in various ways. Impunity for the perpetrators is common in both cases. I have travelled to many other countries. At airports, citizens are treated with welcoming acceptance and respect. Hazrat Shahjalal is the only international airport where I have seen foreigners given special treatment, while Bangladeshi citizens face negligence, harassment and other abuses.
