keep our eyes and ears open against such activiites. We must also
have an overseas intelligence agency like ISI of Pakistan and RAW of
India, who should be providing the government with necessary
intellligence information and also give possible solution in tacklig
such NGO who damages our national interested. We are not a small
country that others would have us believe. Populationwise we are the
eightth largest country in the world Just behind China, India, USA,
Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Russian Federation in that order. We
are therefore not a small country and we should stop acting as if we
are a small country. We must have the intelligence and must also
exert our presence in the world community and must take more active
role in the world affairs.

think everything in Bangladesh is problematic. They frequently use
images and texts from Bangladesh to promote themselves in fund

world NGO industry (having huge implication for national security of
developing nation; British charities are no where to be seen in Iraq
and Afghanistan if as British Army is doing wonderful development
work there!) and therefore has huge influence globally, especially
through BBC propaganda(a few years ago Irish terrorists bombed the
BBC HQ) and British Council (now the Russians have demanded British
Council be shutdown outside of the capital as it is alleged to be a
British government's intelligence and sabotage arm). A lot of racist
stereotypes of Bengali people, Muslims, Islam and Bangladesh is
passed round by British charity workers. Many an charity worker goes
on to become an academic, journalist, diplomat..

do not openly make such demands, and often employ highly manipulated

competitors and hostile neighbour is everywhere playing the organ
grinder.

time we stopped being the tool in other people's agenda. We must not
abuse or get angry with British charities, that could only make them
take even more sadistic pleasure in abusing us. Also, many sincere
people work for such charities but may be using faulty intelligence
or understanding.

many garments workers hate their jobs. Would it not be wise to remove
such workers?

Loyalty breeds productivity and profit. How can it ever be an
