Bangladesh, a land where 3000 people residing in every square mile. The nation shows a whooping figure of 2000 periodicals and news dailies. The country is at eighth place in population, with average constant reading rate of 15%. Bangladeshis generally have a strong belief in myths and superstitions, which has resulted from staunch religious principles followed for centuries together.
But, as an essence of distinction, they show in every field, a detour from the trail the country follows. Lateral and rational thinkers do make a notable difference. Bloggers are one such independent citizens that can write and air their ideas with none to question. Bangla bloggers aren't the odd men out in this case. Many bloggers write random ideas, only when they feel like writing, and read the same by themselves, when they feel like reading. Only few have a reach among readers with some hundreds of readers.
One such blogger is our hero Late. Mr.Ananta Bijoy Das. He has his own decent figure of fans following. Mr.Das had regular entries to his blog. He tried to spread humanist and secular ideas in every feed in his blog. He had written a poem eulogizing the flee of people to Europe in 1994, due to religious reasons. But not all people had the patience to tolerate his rational ideas and posts.
A group of people who got too much irritated by his blogging, plotted against him and stabbed the blogger chasing him down the streets. They also justified their act of murder in public place as a lesson to other so called 'rational thinkers' out there. This is not the first time a blogger's being murdered. Since 2013 five bloggers have been killed in Bangladesh alone, by groups calling themselves as religious activists, jihadists, or sometimes terrorists.
Blogging is the ultimate medium of showing one's right to speak. But every country around the globe experiences rude incidents like attacking Press Reuters, news company headquarters, etc., not because they wrote they lied, but because they aired the truth. This is the peak of intolerance. These tragedies witness people taking undue right to terminate people who used their right to speak.
Revenge is folly. It brings no use many a times. Murder as a revenge is just the deadly people and the dead people dealing among themselves. But the aftereffects affect the innocent children inclusive families. But an idea that is planted deep in one's mind cannot be changed that easily. But can be mitigated to some extent and can also be channelized in a useful stream in fact. For those activists out there, who couldn't control their fury, the society opens many gates for you to have your vengeance like corruption, reservation, discrimination, extortion, poaching, terrorism and many more. Do something to make others' life easy, before you go. Don't use one's innocence to ruin one's life.
