[Leica] IMGS: Portraits

[Tina Manley]

Thanks, Douglas.  Absolutely!  The recent election was the topic of
conversation everywhere we went.  Every single person seemed to be very
supportive of Sheikh Hasina and believed that the news in foreign
newspapers was very slanted.  They insisted that rumors of protests had
been greatly exaggerated and that everyone was happy with the results of
the election.  We spoke to professional people and college professors as
well as ordinary people in the countryside.  As a result of the election
conflict, however, we were assigned a police guard in several areas of the
country where we traveled.  Two armed policemen rode in the van with us and
also rode on several of the boats that we traveled on.  Evidently, we were
the only tourists in Bangladesh at the time!!   They did not want any bad
publicity in case anything happened to us!

One thing that dismayed me was that most people had a positive impression
of our current president.  They seemed to think he is very good for the
economy and that is all that matters.  We disagreed strongly.
