Barrier, blockade or obstacle -whatever word we use, barricade is such a sound that will take your mind to the street right away. We are familiar with different kinds of barricades in the city life. Especially in the large cityscape barricades are usually found as laying somewhere on the main streets. During the military regimes twice in independent Bangladesh, we discovered the barricades more than any other times. It was obvious that, if there were procession or protest against the Government, undoubtedly there would be barricades with no reason as an obstacle against any activity. My life in Dhaka city in 1986 started with extreme protests against the military regime that lasted until 1990. We were the brave young spirits of those heroic activities at the University of Dhaka. We grew up with procession, protest, slogan and fight against the 10 years long military Government in Bangladesh for the last time.
While roaming around in Dhaka city keeping in mind 'ShohorNama' I could not think about any object other than the barricades of Dhaka city. Isurprisingly discovered that most of the barricades are in fact wrecked and resting in the corners of the footpaths or abandon areas of the streets these days. Its good to find that they are not in use anymore. Should we then conclude the conversation of being in a happy country with no protest of any odds?
