Thousands of miles away from home I am showing my solidarity with Shahbag protest via social media. Aren't many of us doing the same? I have a 4-month-old daughter and she gave me the luxury of writing this piece by going to sleep before her usual bedtime. I cannot be in Dhaka in person right now but it does not mean that expatriates like me cannot at all participate in this revolution. We can fight this war against our country's war criminals with whatever we have. If you have the talent to write, use words to inspire those around you and spread the message of this revolution. Even sharing stories of this protest with people you know will raise awareness about this issue and its importance in the lives of millions of Bangladeshis home and abroad. The youths of Bangladesh have shown that we humans do not always need arms and ammunition to fight a war, sometimes words prove to be more powerful than weapons. Example? The Shahbag protest has brought back to life "Tui Razakar," Humayun Ahmed's famous expression from the BTV serial Bohubrihi. Ranks above everything is a strong belief in the cause one is fighting for. Hundreds of thousands of people, young and old alike, gather everyday at Shahbag Square to demand justice because they passionately believe that the war criminals of 1971 should be sentenced to death. I know there are people and countries that do not believe in capital punishment. I respect their belief but I personally believe (rather strongly) that for certain heinous crimes, only execution does justice to the victims of those crimes. I believe that a person, who aided in the systematic killing of several millions of his fellow citizens and the dishonoring of thousands of women of his country, deserves nothing but the noose. I have seen on Facebook that many of my contacts have publicly voiced neither their solidarity nor their anger against Shahbag protest. But a few have commented that those who are protesting at Shahbag Square only care about one and only one issue and that they do not care about the million and one problems that Bangladesh is inflicted with. Excuse me but you cannot protest against everything at the same time, can you? Well, maybe you can but then will not that confuse your target audience or lessen the strength of your movement? Why do we have to protest against every single problem from the same platform? I believe we must begin with "one" cause and then eventually address the other causes - one at a time, disgruntled brothers and sisters, one at a time. And those who are complaining that the Shahbag protesters are insensitive to other burning issues of our time, I ask them, why don't you and your friends and family address those other burning issues? Or, why didn't you address them in the past? Why could not you bring about a revolution that a group of bloggers could? Why didn't you begin your own revolution against countrywide corruption, Sagar-Runi murder, Padma Bridge scandal etc.? Those who gather at Shahbag Square are fighting for at least one important cause and you, my friend, what important cause are you fighting or fought for? Maybe these same young people at Shahbag Square will subsequently address other issues but for that they need our support, not our discouragement. We need to address all our problems. Our young people began with perhaps our oldest problem - our politicians' continued failure to bring our liberation war criminals to justice. Once the older problems are resolved, efforts can be taken to address the more recent ones. So once again, one at a time, disgruntled brothers and sisters, one at a time.
