The electronic and print media have shown us how Begum Khaleda Zia breaks down at her Gulshan office as she was evicted from her cantonment residence where she lived nearly four decades. Whether the eviction was legal or not, that is not author’s concern. It is sure that she is shocked at the incident. She loved the house very much as saying goes "My house is my Heaven" and that is quite natural. We have lot to learn from and share on the issues of the house. Almost all the electronic media of the country are now focusing on issues of the house. This is not an ordinary house rather it can be called an Amazing House based on recent reports of the electronic and print media using the key words: Location, Sanction, Possession, Eviction, Emotion, Confusion, Fascination, Limitation, Compassion, Motivation, Temptation, Devastation, Justification, Observation Supervision, Discussion and Negotiation. The words need explanation.
People living on banks of the rivers like the Padma, Meghna, Jamuna, and Modhumoti lose their houses very often due to river erosion. They are evicted not by people but by nature. Normally they do not have second shelter for immediate settlement. They make new shelters just for survival. Now we should realize - how much they are shocked even at mid night while sleeping -- they lose not only their houses but their belongings along with their sleeping kids and lands. Even then they live and survive showing much tolerance and praying to Almighty Allah for their peaceful life. Normally nobody is there to show them sympathy because they have no voice to raise it to the concerned authority. They build their houses at their hard earned money and they do not know where and whom to complain. They accept it as written on their fate. Even if complained or applied for support, very rarely responded by the proper authority. This is the reality faced by the author, his family members and the neighbors since 1950 caused by the river Modhumoti that flows over the districts of Faridpur and Gopalgonj. Similar situations can be observed in Sirajgonj, Chandpur and other districts where river erosion is a fierce.
Tsunami, Sidor and Aila like natural calamities destroy thousands of houses in the coastal regions and the devastation is beyond counts in Bangladesh almost every year. While Sidor attacked the Southern region of Bangladesh, a mother gave birth to a child in a primary school tornado shelter on this day of November 15, 2008. The male child was given the name Sidor to remember the special day. Today is the third birth day of Sidor, the son of Mr. George who is a fisherman. Sidor is now growing up with much hope and expectation of his parents. This is also a wonderful case of tolerance in disaster and devastation in Bangladesh history.
Begum Khaeda Zia and her party could create an excellent example showing extreme tolerance capacities before the Eid festival that could attract much more sympathy and supports from all levels of people of the country.
