Abstract

As regards the census, obtaining the correct figure for the population is more important than changing the name of the survey. By the way, the same goes for the name change of our international airport in Dhaka. We don’t actually worry too much about what name it carries. What we want is good services at the airport. Since, in these and similar cases, we only have the alteration of names but not the improvement of services, as a people, we feel short-changed by those in power. Lastly, reflecting on what Shakespeare said about name changes, can’t we as a nation be mature and focus on things that really matter?
