We continue to make mistakes as we have not learned anything from history. Committing mistakes is not a problem but repeating the same mistake again and again is a problem. Beginning with 1948, we did not give Bengali the status of a national language. Then in 1955, One Unit was created to the disadvantage of the Bengalis.
Successive regimes exploited Bengalis by not giving them their due share in the government jobs, military, judiciary and other institutions. Ultimately, we faced the debacle of the fall of Dhaka. We hanged our first elected prime minister who gave us the nuclear plan and the 1973 Constitution. Thereafter, democracy was not allowed to prevail in the country. And now we are facing low-level insurgencies and terrorism. All this should be a wakeup call for us.
