Executive Director, TMSS

Long before my stepping from childhood to youth at variety between biological and physical life, I had association with curiosity and invocation. Needless to think that man like me in life full of curiosity I had lack in making dialogues with those experienced persons. Before travelling in various countries in the world I had to undergo much acclivity and declivity to complete master’s degree from Rajshahi University and a Ph.D degree from Washington International University where I had to conduct various academic researches. Besides these I could not but conduct many researches on various issues like multi communal-society and economy for Asoka Foundation, a Washington DC based organization. In all cases, the result was not unfavorable. But it will disrupt the patience of the readers, if I write about the pains we had to endure while in national and international level introducing Thengamara Mohila Sabuj Sangha (TMSS) established from the opportunity deprived north Bengal north Bogra in the third world poverty-stricken country Bangladesh. Few days ago not long before, being invited by Federation of Bangladeshi Associations in North America exchange of views was made among many personalities from various nations in three day long Bengali fair organized at Zorzia in Atlanta in the only super power country America.

What we get after summing up all these experiences, all these views and all these ways is that we do not have so much knowledge as we need. In spite of increasing our sense, it is decreasing day by day. So, it is usual that people having less sense will be ruled by the government having less sense which is happening. Because of being senseless and not understanding others in usual mood, we are taking as our wishes. We are saying bye bye to our shame. We had better discard this high thought. As we are with the root level, let us work with this root level. We will be with the root level. The root level under us is rising very quickly. So, the range of our investigation is getting higher. If we analyze these things we see that degree of overwhelm and chaos the incident of police officer couple late Mr. Mahfuz and his daughter Oishi lies in the meanest category. Some parents while giving birth to children have dream even when in womb that they will make their children modern, will send them to Britain and other foreign countries. I have seen many that there is much difference between parents and children in respect of children’s behavior, food habit, love and affection, way of speaking, etiquette, manner etc which even an wise man after observing weak after weak will fail to realize whether the child is his or not. If anyone asks them the question that whose children they are, then being proud of their children they will very affectionately answer that those children are theirs. From preschool they are very far from us. So they are very smart. They brain is very sharp. They live in abroad. They will earn huge money and increase riches. But we do not find any similarity between their expectation and the children they have. In this case, some of our wise men with all our knowledge fail to understand it. They instead of calling their parents by “maa or baba’ which seems to be the most affectionate name to express love and affection calls them by the name Dad or Mum. They remain far from their money supplier parents and that is why they cannot feel them in the truest sense and become busy with their activities. It happens because of being grown up in such an atmosphere. So it is often said that children are the by-product of the enjoyment of parents. Bearing the financial support is the traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR). Because of their much gluttony and willing, parents have to take their shelter in old age home.

Dear Reader, once I was dead against setting up and maintaining of Old Home. There are some parents whose children have been sent to regimental academy for receiving education from the highest academy in the western and eastern part of the world. For receiving education even they were kept away from their parents, family and society from primary level to the tertiary level. They after completing education have got good jobs and have established in life. I have seen a great deal of loneliness of those parents, have heard their beseeching. So in response to their request the with the primary assistance of Masuda Begum, wife of ex district judge late Rashidul Islam, TMSS Masuda Old Home was founded in the orphanage attachment beside Baghopara Hat close to Mohastangor the historic capital of Proudonagor in the North Bengal.

Even in our country we have also seen that parents spending more, overlooking their unwillingness, cry and basement of their heart and only for their gluttony for earning more are sending their children to eminent schools having residential facilities including English Medium. Among them there are some grammar schools where there is no poor student reading in these institutions and the students will be kept away from property, insolvency and pains of the poor. If the student of millionaire family keeps friendship with the poor classmate having much poverty, his mind will be lower and it may be a hindrance in way of being smart.

The research of education domain of TMSS, the experience and thoughts of the authorities of twenty or twenty two educational institutions, education project of TMSS under national and international demand which is from primary level to linguistic and vocational; the outcome of all these research are being taken into consideration.
From this we can gain knowledge that the parents who are spending a large amount of money and bringing up their most affectionate children with much riches and luxuries should realize that their children should be informed of life of those children who are being brought up under much hardship and being equal in respect of merit. If we let this scenario inform to the rich and aristocratic children, the love and respect of those children for their will increase not decrease.
So those who say that though a meritorious student reading in TMSS Public School and College, he will have a poor classmate reading with him, that is why, this institution is not suitable for elite parents. The Quran is the most gracious religious scripture. In the Quran Allah has said that all men are equal and respectful. Because of lack of material possession their face becomes pale. Though they are black or white outwardly, all are same inwardly. For example we can refer to Hazrat Belal ® who was much dearer than white beautiful wife to Allah’s last prophet or Rasul (sm).

Statistics on the pleasure that couples who spend less and limited money for educating their children enjoy and couples those who spend unlimited money will prove that greed cannot be a means for enjoyment.
