The Maid from India



Human beings are born equal, regardless
 of their social standing, color or race…
 Go and say that to the maid from India
 whose complaint has made two democratic
 nations to be at the opposite ends
 of a malicious diplomatic row…
 But maids have no immunities like diplomats…
 Go and declare that to God and let us know, how He reacts…

Amit Rahman

I was born in 1980 in Bangladesh. Afterwards I spent a couple of years in Europe and USA as my father worked for UNICEF. Since 1985 till 1999 I lived in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Then for my higher studies I went to Singapore. Did a diploma graduation on Computer Science and Engineering. Started my career in 2001 as a software developer. In 2005 however I decided to leave the field and study English literature. Got an honors graduation this time in 2009. I have been working as a broadcast journalist in NTV, Bangladesh from 2010.
