For a self confident Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a country full of natural resources. Fish alone can earn billions of taka a year. Actually we are not poor. Our population can easily be turned into wealth as China has done.
We got our flag after much sacrifice. We feel proud of it, though this pride has been dented by the recent Peelkhana massacre.
Bangladesh has a lot of achievements as well. Our language day is now the International Mother Language Day and we got a Nobel prize as well!
Now we should build a self confident Bangladesh.
