The last time we were in Bangladesh we got caught in the midst of
a political unrest that swept the country. A hartal, a total shutdown. Farmers could not get their crops and produce the market, schools and universities were disrupted. The garment trade, the lifeline of Bangladesh severely damaged. For what, for power! The prime minister and the opposition leader (two women) fighting for power and refuse to back down meanwhile the Bangladeshi people, like this rickshaw driver with no customers venturign on the unsafe roads, suffer.
