Sujayendra Das:
All over the globe there is a common feeling that we must treat human beings on identical grounds and similarity with other citizens of the globe. We are well aware of that in European and American nations people of all categories are treated same contrarily we find that in South Asian nations especially in India and Bangladesh. As I write this piece from Indian city of Kolkata for a popular English language daily of Dhaka, Bangladesh, I feel it is imperative on my part to throw light about the above two closer and friendly SAARC nations India and Bangladesh.
The reason behind is that both might be politically bifurcated but from other aspects everything remains identical. That is why it is always advisable to the citizens of both nations to treat all kinds of human beings or citizens in the same platter. In this regard the role by poet, philosopher, thinker, short story writer, novelist, music composer, essayist and Nobel Laureate in literature Rabindra Nath Tagore always advised his ardent fans and followers in undivided India that ‘we must bestow equivalent love and affection upon people of all sections of societies. There should not be any discriminative mental makeup between different types of people rather we must treat the poor and deprived sections under one banner.’
By this way our society tends to be peaceful and calm which is devoid of any sort of vices around us. This thought of me will definitely be agreed upon by all rational and analytical minded citizens of both India and Bangladesh. Basic problem of present society at the present juncture is that there exists a feeling of discrimination among people of different strata of societies of the above stated nations as well as throughout South Asian region. This has to be eradicated at all costs. Rather there should be bonhomie exists among people of all sections. Basic reason behind is burgeoning population which cannot be denied by all of our civil and analytical minded societies. Thus in the subsequent paragraphs it is my humble duty to analyze deeply on how to develop pleasantries and identical feeling among all sections of societies in both India and Bangladesh.
Ways to develop identical feelings about human beings: Great thinkers and pious souls in today’s eternity always propagate to the humanities that we should treat every human beings identically. To be more elaborate in this regard, we analyse that in today’s eternity there arise the creations of diverse human beings who in the later part of lives exposes different types of behavioural patterns which might raise introspections among people of rational, analytical and civil societies of the globe. In order to throw light about behavioral pattern of human beings we find mostly in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan along with rest of South Asian region. This creates pejorative impression among people of above stated societies. Anyhow despite all the odds it is my task to focus on the issue deeply upon India and Bangladesh.
However there are some common ways and means available within us on how we may develop an identical feeling among human beings in both India and Bangladesh: *Human beings of both India and Bangladesh must aim to develop transparent frame of mind. *Human beings must always be in their positive frame of mind. *Human beings must be of identical mind and feelings among each other. *Human beings of both India and Bangladesh must aim to help fellow citizens in times of personal distresses and sorrows. *Human beings must aim to mix with the people on compassionate basis but not on materialistic one. *Deprived sections of societies must always be helped financially and humanitarianly. *In the education sector there should be helpful mentality upon poor and deprived sections of our societies.
Apart from the above discourses one vital point can be deciphered by us that in any field of professional and academic sector if any one of us lands up into serious trouble then it should be the humble responsibilities of all skilled persons to lend helping hand and cooperation to the former. Then the true identities of human beings are earthed out. Great persons like Ramakrishna Paramhansha Deva, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindra Nath Tagore etc always propagated through their writings that ‘citizens should not be of luxurious and materialistic mental makeup rather they should be of helpful and amiable demeanor.’ This should be the forte of all of us. Otherwise we will land up into disarraying situations.
Roles of Great persons in the development of societies:
Great persons who were born in India and Bangladesh always advised us that we should lead our lives in its positive frame of mind. Along with positive frame of mind it should our noble task to help the poor and destitute along with prolific reading habits. Also we should desist ourselves from cheating and hoodwinking upon innocent and hapless sections of societies in both India and Bangladesh.
Summing up the above stated views one point will surmise upon us that despite the drastic transformation of modern societies in both India and Bangladesh we should aim our goal to reach to skyrocketing limits in order to achieve success by having identical feelings about human beings. None of us should be prone towards materialistic types of mental makeup instead we should aim to have identical and helpful feelings about others.
