Dear Editor,
I am always fascinated by the ideas that Innovation line promotes through its postings, but saddened that there is a pro-4 party tilt in them.
In line with the thinking of the four pary alliance, his/their latest posting includes Mazars (and of course mosques) but although he speaks about folk traditions, there is no mention of the rich and deep Hindu and Buddhist and also animistic traditions that our folk lore has carried for thousands of years. Isn't that part of his tradition ? One of the deep fault lines of the dominant religion in Bangladesh is its excluvistic attitude. Everything not conceived in Saudi Arabia is not part of our tradition, they say. This is going to be suicidal in the 21st century.
Innovation line is a young and intelligent group and it is sad to see that they do not recognise the social importance of a pluralistic and a secularistic attitide in the world they are envisioning for Bangladesh in the future.
Regards,
Saswata4

Form a agency or commission to reform the historic-religious artifacts / locations / assets and use those for social tourism purposesMazars and other similar historic-religioius artifacts scattered around the country are an indispensible component of our social / historical / folklore fabric of the region. However, we have so far failed to capitalize on these historical assets for "social tourism". The newly proposed regulatory body should co-operate with different operating bodies on mazars to use them in a way that helps social tourism.In parallel with eco-tourism, social tourism should also be another focus area in Bangladesh. Social tourism, if explored properly, has a huge potential to promote the Brand Bangladesh as well as the economic development of the country.Following are the few of the links that might be useful to find out more about social tourism. Our above column and use of the following items from Bangladesh context may offer a very useful perspective that can immensely help our current ongoing drive to increase national income from tourism by the use of "social tourism". Please share your ideas.If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columnists in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.
Thanks for your time,
Innovation Line
