"Steemit Engagement Challenge S11/W4 - How is democracy functioning in your country?"

I'm going to start today's blog by thanking the community administration team from the bottom of my heart. Special thanks for hosting the Steem Engagement Challenge on such a great topic. Our country became independent on March 26, 1971. And exactly on this day in 1975 i.e. 15th August was a dark chapter for our country, black day. Because on this day, the great hero of our country's liberation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman tried to kill his family and killed the great hero of liberation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. But let's get started with today's engagement blog.

♨How is democracy functioning in your country?

Bangladesh Flag

The condition of democracy in our present context in Bangladesh is quite bad. The current bad state of democracy in Bangladesh is now a topic of much discussion in the outside world. And a few days ago, America imposed sanctions on Bangladesh. Currently, it can be said that the democracy of Bangladesh is about to end. Citizens' freedom of speech has decreased, purchasing power has decreased, the price of goods has more than doubled, and the ability to move freely has decreased. When our Bangladesh became independent, two major parties were formed, one was Awami League and the other was BNP. But suddenly the Awami League won the elections in 2008 and since then the democracy has weakened a lot. After 2008, elections were held without the participation of opposition parties and has been in power since 2008. People cannot cast their own votes. That is, citizens lost their right to vote. At various times the opposition party leaders and activists have called for elections under a caretaker government. But the current government is not willing to hold elections under caretaker government. This is the current state of democracy in our country.Currently, all the parties of our country are working together to bring down the government. Our democracy is alive through such a situation.

♨Is your country free from any domination ruled?

Yes our country got independence on 26th March 1971 since then our country is completely free and independent country. We achieved this freedom through nine long months of continuous fighting and bloodshed of martyrs. In 1971, about 3 million mothers, sisters and brothers gave their lives in the war of independence of Bangladesh. In exchange for the fresh blood of 30 lakh martyrs, my life Bangladesh became independent. Our country is known as an independent country all over the world. For this we are eternally indebted especially to those who gave their lives in 1971. This country is not only a country but a free country, because of the blood they gave, we can live freely today, we can walk freely around the world. I feel very proud to be born in the country. My golden bangla I love you.

♨Is your country self-sufficient in food production?

There is a proverb in our country, the proverb is "The soil of my Bangladesh is harder than gold". The meaning of this proverb is that the soil of our country is so fertile that it is possible to produce good crops of all types of crops in the soil of our country. Many of you may or may not know that Bangladesh is called an agricultural country. The reason why it is called an agricultural country is that Bangladesh produces a large number of crops and many people earn their living by producing these crops. All these crops of Bangladesh are produced and exported to the outside world. The amount of food grains produced in Bangladesh is sufficient for Bangladesh. As there is fertility in the soil of Bangladesh, Bengali people also have an indomitable power through which the whole of Bangladesh is produced by producing food grains. If you ever have a chance, come and visit our country and see that the farmers of the village get up early in the morning and go to the fields with their utmost effort to produce crops. You cannot understand how sweet this scene is unless you see it with your own eyes. This country of ours and our fields are full of clear green.

♨IHow is youth employment in your country?

The population is much larger than the size of our country. In a natural sense, it is difficult to get employment and live in a country where the population is large compared to the size of the country. Due to this there are many unemployed youths in our country who are not able to arrange their own employment. And these unemployed youths are not given any incentives from the government.

For which the unemployed youths have to spend their days with much difficulty and have to work day and night to do something. But we hope that our government will provide employment to the youth in the future. Employment is much less than unemployed youth.

♨What you want your country to be like?

I want people of my country to live freely. I want the people of my country to be well. I want my country to be more prosperous, and follow democratic rules and gain recognition in the world court. I want my country to be an example like other countries.

The country that I and my countrymen will all be proud of.And that's why we all need to work for the country. To contribute to the development of the country. Hopefully in the future our country will be such a country that other countries will want to be like our country. Expressing that hope, I am ending today's blog here.
