In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to be settler for something else.
-Lee Lacocca
I am not a student of Mahbubul Alam sir. If we put things into perspective, he is a teacher and I’m a student. So, the equation is simple. Recently, there emerged a situation, tension sparked in his students and also in the community of people known to him.
I checked his profile. I’m shocked and surprised at the same time that I have encounter the profile of an incredibly talented human being. He studied at MIT, Stanford University, University of Cambridge and a former postdoc of Imperial College London. With a basic understanding, it is clear that sir is not a normal human being. He could be anywhere in the planet if he just wanted to be. But he chose to be in Bangladesh.
People know what he has done for this country and his Institution over the years. Nevertheless, something really serious going on in this country. As our economic indicators going up, we consistently loosing our sense of respect and dignity towards others. We often forget that these are the people who have revolutionized the education of this country, these are the heroes who let us know how to dream, these are the people who have created the path to higher education.
Mathematics and theoretical physics aren’t the easiest subjects to approach and a very handful of people in this world have his level of qualifications. Despite the fact, having difficulties in his teaching gives us the message that as a nation….
Are we heading towards the wrong direction!?
