During training programs in different countries, I often had conversations with Bangladeshi friends. Those I met carried an immense love for their homeland in their hearts. They had earned their country through great sacrifice. Although they faced class divisions and social inequalities, they were intellectually united and deeply conscious of their national identity.
Similarly, in Dr. Zafar’s brief taxi journey, his conversation with the Bangali driver revealed a heart divided between two countries. The contrast between Bangladesh, with its single national language, and Karachi, with its many languages, was a remarkably insightful observation.
The descriptions of Bangladesh’s rivers and scenic river cruises, alongside Karachi’s rickshaws and the buses of the 1980s, were especially heartfelt and vividly portrayed.
