The ongoing devastating floods in Feni, Cumilla, Noakhali has brought about a remarkable display of unity and compassion among the nation’s citizens after the ousting of dictator Sheikh Hasina in a mass uprising.
The scenes unfolding at Dhaka University’s TSC are a testament to the resilience and generosity of people regardless of religion, political orientations, and financial status.
Students, from all walks of life, have come together to provide relief to those affected by the floods.
Such a display of unity and compassion has not been seen in DU for a long time, particularly not in the last 15 years of the Awami League regime, when only Chhatra League members called the shots.
The campaign began on Thursday morning, under the banner of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
The students have played a pivotal role in organizing and coordinating these relief efforts.
Their tireless work has inspired countless individuals to contribute to the cause.
The outpouring of support, from both the general public and students from various institutions, is a clear indication of the nation’s collective spirit.
The relief efforts have not only provided much-needed assistance to the flood-affected people but have also served as a powerful symbol of unity and hope.
The scenes at the TSC have reminded us of the importance of compassion and solidarity in times of crisis.
The students said their struggle was against the binary identity — the walls that were erected.
Through this effort, they have reached a stage where personal ideologies are set aside.
Over the last 16 years the ousted regime strictly followed divide and rule policy and established fear of terror everywhere.
Bangladesh’s new birth after the bloodbath and mass uprising the root of fear is being destroyed and a new Bangladesh is moving forward from this disaster.
It is imperative to maintain the spirit of unity and cooperation that has been so evident in recent weeks.
By working together, we can build a stronger and more resilient nation.
