Do you know one of the biggest protest held by only Teenagers in human history going right now in Bangladesh.

They ALL are under-aged. The oldest of them are hardly twelve-graders. They are the most savage people in history. Why?

But before going into that let me first tell you what they been really upto.

Three teenagers died in a horrendous road accident just two days ago. They were heading home from school when a public bus ran them over. They were just standing at the bus stop and the killer bus came racing against another bus, lost control and ran directly over them.

Traffic is one of the most disturbing problems in Bangladesh. No one follows any traffic rules. It could take 5–6 hours to reach a distance of a few miles in rush hours due to huge traffic jam. If you break any traffic rules, you are most likely gonna go unnoticed . But if you get caught, bribing the officers in charge only a 100tk note ( a dollar) will get you out of most anything.

After the death of those three teenagers the court just asked the bus company to compensate the families of the victim only by 15 lacs taka ($6250) each. That’s all.

Now what do you think of this? Should the killer driver get away without a single scratch after killing three innocent kids and injuring many more? Is 15lacs taka the right price for three young and beautiful lives?

So it is crystal clear that justice has been denied.

Thus this wonderful protest begun.

THEY WANT JUSTICE. AND NO MORE DEAD BODIES.

So where is the savagery things in all these I’ve been bragging about?

They blocked every important road in the capital. And they started to check every vehicle that was currently on the road. Thousands of youngsters checking for driving licences, documents of fitness and all of the vehicles in the most busy roads, can you even imagine that?

Have a look.

All of them are in their school uniforms.

For the first time Bangladesh witnessed Cycle Rickshaws can go in a single lane. The boy in white shirt is a school-boy.

Keys of the cars of those drivers who did not have driving licences.

And then came this Police Officer. He did not have his driving license. The boys stopped him and took him to the Traffic Police.

The officer was fined.

They noticed a mother with her injured daughter in a rickshaw. They cleared the road and rushed them into the hospital.

See the bald man? He is a big fish. A great politician. He was riding in his car breaking as many traffic rules as possible as he is used to including riding in the wrong side of the road. These champs stopped his vehicle and confronted him. They did not let him go. He had to head back from there.

These young people just showed the whole country how ‘the big traffic problem’ can be solved in just two days in a way no one could ever imagine. They just mocked the whole system in a way the government can’t take. All this they are doing just for a single cause. They don’t want a single more dead body in the streets. And they want justice.

Living in a country like Bangladesh with all those third-world kinda problems, we still love our country. Because we believe in ourselves. The Young generation symbolizes everything a person needs to love his country.
