Diplomatic norms
Perhaps, Bangladesh is the worst example in the world where diplomats of different countries can intervene most easily into any domestic issue and can talk on that even if it is apparently uncalled for, keeping sense of diplomatic decency far from their minds and thoughts. There are several instances in recent past, how the diplomats and ambassadors of some countries passed their unwelcome comments on our internal affairs. This kind of subversion of diplomatic decency is tantamount to showing thumb to our freedom and dignity as a sovereign nation. It is clear to the intelligentsia that our own leaders and top officials of government were acting as catalysts in this ill practice of foreign diplomats which, in effect, instigates those diplomats to easily intrude into our matters. Dignity is something which cannot be compromised at any level. But the irony is that our beloved Bangladesh has become a place of cakewalk for diplomats of European Union, USA, and other influential countries. They often dictate openly on how we should adorn ourselves as a nation to look soothing to them. It has an interesting and tragic similarity to doll dance and to its director. Here they are acting as a director and taking us for a ride and abusing us as doll to be dressed and dance for them the way they feel good. Maybe, we are already late to take a position against this exploitation by foreign diplomats.
