This Bangladeshi quota bill is so fucking stupid, and laughable. Understandable that we should give some benefits to the immediate descendants, but 30% reservation for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the 1971 liberation war? All these years, in this capitalist system, you've tortured these kids to embrace meritocracy (which again, is a sham) as the only way to escape poverty, and now you've shot in their fucking foots, stole their only hope.
Yes, it's just a vote bank for the current PM. But I think it's probably a very dumb move, as even the people who'll benefit from it are speaking out against it.
