There are currently two groups competing for dominance in Bangladesh.  One group wants to take advantage of the opportunity provided post August 5 to build Bangladesh 2.0.   They want the country to be worthy of the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for the country's freedom in 1971 and 2024.  The other group wants to turn the clock back, placing the narrow interests of a select few over the welfare of the nation and its people.  

For me, this is the lens through which I evaluate the words and deeds of individuals and groups with whom I interact.  If it is clear that they are working towards the goal of building Bangladesh 2.0, I am prepared to offer my support, encouragement, and constructive criticism when needed.  The "August 5" coalition is diverse and does not always agree on tactics, but they share the same goal.   

The group that wants to turn Bangladesh back is pretty easy to spot.   While it is hard to know exactly what Bangladesh 2.0 will look like, we know what the past looks like.   While the core of this group is the supporters of the deposed dictator, there are others who have their own reasons to want to return to the past.    I am not interested in helping them achieve this goal.
