Culture of violence

Violence and indiscipline start at the top tiers, and trickle down to the lower rungs of society. In politics, this is very visible, as the politicians in power consider themselves to be above the law [protection, indulgence, partiality, nepotism, hidden godfathers; abuse of power and position]. Use of violence is not a solution [it includes the US foreign policy].
Political violence was also noticed during the UZ elections just concluded [compare with the general election held under CTG ]. The rowdiness and shoe-throwing in the mosque is another example; as also the burning of vehicles near the educational institutions when the agitated students become unruly.
Scenes in the streets and kitchen markets have similarities. We are talkative, hence endless debates take place, the talker accusing the listener endlessly. Few bother to separate fact from opinion. In fact, correct opinion is based on facts. What I don't know, I don't believe! [notice the evolution of the fertiliser culture amongst the farmers].
Note how the political parties behave in parliament. Peer level treatment is rare locally. My party, right or wrong. An MP cannot criticize his own party inside the house. There is no democracy inside the parties. The gift of the gab is not a magic wand!
What has happened to tolerance and accommodation in public life? How the extremist religious groups behave? We are flooded with, and floating on fatwas. The philosophy of the golden mean is totally absent in our society, [not so in Islam, as read in the books]; thanks to feudalism, [under the mask of democracy].
We are too overcrowded, hence no elbow room is available to relax, and be amiable. Around our kitchen bazaar (Dhaka 1207), it is difficult to locate the next step.
Therefore decentralization appears to be the cheapest choice -- the conversion of the divisions into provinces; with local assemblies, to sort out the local priorities; giving some respite to the capital Dhaka [notice the lack of development of the divisional and district HQ towns].
Let us hope the coming parliamentary sessions would be public friendly.
