There is NO super human, please! No body is the *best* ever! News:
Sheikh mujib, the best ever Bengali
! To
decide the greatest Bengali/Human/British/Arab/whatever ever a few concerns
which definitely have greatly influenced the result. 1.
Firstly, the judgments were done with a voting poll, which had hardly any
standard or ruling over the voice. The influences of personal views have
perhaps often over ruled the main objective of the selection. 2.
Selecting Ziaur Rahman
and Sheikh Mujib among the best 20 clearly
depicts the fact of the voter�s political stance. I am sure there were a
few votes for Khaleda, Hasina,
Nijami or Ershad and
so on. The problem with selecting political person is as each person has
many admirers, so is there are many people against them. 3.
There was a clear
influence of religion in selecting people from own religious
group. I would not dig deep into this topic. 4.
The influence of time played a very important role too. The people
who were selecting, were more acknowledged of the people from their time.
Most of the selected intellectuals have been belonged to 1900 century. Also,
we are very much ignorant about many intellectuals. Were there some votes
for Aroj Ali Matubbor?
Answer is perhaps No, how many people know his name at all! 5.
The idea of selecting so called *best ever* by BBC has found tyrants and
saboteurs like Saddam and Osama as best ever from the Arabs; also selection
of Diana as 3rd best British only points public emotion into this
referendum. 6.
A person should not be considered as a best ever;
because at the end, He/She is a human being (and to err is human). For
example, Sheikh Mujib failed to keep his
impression when he uphold the jurisdiction after
the war. His political achievement should not be dismantled from his
failures, but selecting a single person as *best ever* only shows us that we
human beings actually love to see some super human and would like to worship
them (means when
we say somebody is best, then we do not find any faults in his/her deeds
anymore. The admirers of that person start to believe that whatever He/She
did was perfect). That�s is how the
Prophets (also some Politicians, Scientists and Novelists etc) are being
worshiped by a group of people for many thousand years. In addition, we
always forget that they all are still just simple human beings like us, and
they all made mistakes, as we all do. 7.
A person�s work and life is being influenced by the time-period where he
belonged. Each selected person is the gem of his/her own time. Now judging
them with a ranking hardly makes a sense because their working fields were
completely different and they all had their own circumstances and
consequences. Not a single person from the list can be replaced with another
to get the same yield as the original person had done. Neither Rabindranath
could hold a speech like Sheikh Mujib, nor Mujib
would ever could write a noble prize winning literary work. They
is no *super human*, although
they are superior and praiseworthy. Regards, Adnan |
