Bollywood Stars Are Coming!!

What is going on earth! Artists from India are coming to perform various celebrity show on the occasion of WCC in Bangladesh!!

Today’s daily Prothom Alo has published the article that contains the news. It says that almost 200 stars including Salman Khan, Aksay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Sonu Nigum, Shaan etc will perform in the event named BIG SHOW before and after the night of opening ceremony in our country. The arranger named ATN Event has already paid advance to some of them. What a vague idea it is!

President of BCB is well known about the matter. He confessed straightly that the event of 18 February would only be performed by Indian stars. He also added that our local artists always performed and the opposition against Indian stars was of no matter. What a dialogue!

I am totally amazed with this news. I don’t know why we need artists from other countries. Do we lack quality singers? Or cultural persons? Is it very important to let the whole world know that we can dance with the hindi songs like ‘Munni Bodnam’? I doubt whether India herself arranged such kind of cultural function before Commonwealth Games.

On the occasion of WCC, lots of foreigner will come to our country. All they know about Bangladesh that it is a poor and half drawn country. When they will watch that events performed by Indian dancers, they will also know that it is also a country without having it’s own culture as it borrows foreign artists for performing such an glorious occasion. Horrible, isn’t it?

Yes, I must say that India is also a co-arranger of WCC. But it is true that we are going to hold the opening ceremony. So it is obvious that we should have some extra advantages. Why will we give that chance to other country? What would happen if India arranged the opening ceremony? Would we given the same facilities that we are giving India today?

I don’t know what to do or what to say. But I must hope that our high officials will at least do something against this horrible situation.
