Colonial concept

Since ages the concept of leadership has been colonial in south East Asia, more so in Bangladesh. With the passage of time over the years things have changed but this concept of leadership continues. Though democracy is in vogue but the colonial concept of leadership remains. The son of the king becomes the king; this concept is very much deep rooted in the minds of the people. So long this concept remains in practice, Bangladesh shall not achieve progress in the true sense of the word.
We all are aware about the change that has taken place here in the United States. It was almost unthinkable that a man of a black origin would ever grace the position of the President of the United States. Here in America the son of the king does not become the king in the name of democracy. One has to prove his worth to the nation to become the President of the country. Back in Bangladesh it is only the children of the leaders who are deemed fit to become their leaders, no matter whether he or she is worth the position or not.
Since majority of the people of Bangladesh live below poverty line and are unlettered, there should be an impartial competency test for all those aspiring to become leaders of the nation. I am very hopeful that if this competency test is carried out in the form of ISSB conducted for intending defence officials, the country shall be blessed with good leadership which is badly wanting. Let there be a change in the concept of leadership and herald in a new era of progress and development in Bangladesh.
