One Night in Bangladesh

If anyone is familiar with geography, surely they should know that Bangladesh (bordering eastern India) is one of the most densely populated countries in the world (roughly 6,700 people per square mile). This country is a bit wild. A current news story illustrates it best;

A young man who attended Dhaka International University was not satisfied with the schools decision of allowing students to enroll strictly by paying tuition (no academic prerequisites required). So, he chained himself to the Light of the East statue located in the campus’s main courtyard. However, several things about this protest were unorthodox. For starters, the angered student (Abul Rouf) was completely nude while chained. Secondly, 4 additional peers, (3 men and 1 woman) joined him in the nude protest (plus several non-nude people chained themselves too). Lastly, the university did not want to “give in” to the protest, so they ignored the situation until the female began suffering from heat exhaustion. The mother of the female student filed a complaint to the police, and finally after 9 days of being chained, the police arrested the kids.

The best part is, the kid's uncle Begum Rouf, was suspended without pay for 4 weeks. Why do you ask? Because he works at Dhaka International University. He works in the Industrial Sciences section. In fact he was the one that was supplying the heavy-duty chains to the kids.
