What I cannot understand is why the leading intellectuals and other eminent persons in Bangladeshi society do not coalesce to challenge the status quo. Why are they all busy setting up one-man parties that are unable to challenge the established parties nationwide?
I have the same question:

Are they really intellectuals?
