Our democracy, our sovereignty is our pride. Bangladesh is a democratic country and we follow representative democracy here. To maintain and practice a proper democratic system it is necessary for the common people to participate in politics and their opinions should be duly counted. The evolution of Bangladesh is rather a juxtapose of blurry images of pain, agony, sufferings and yet, of endless hope and potential. Nevertheless it took a long way to build this nation. But deep in our mind there is still a disputable blank space about the whole evolving story – have we achieved true democracy yet? As always, the memory washes over the map with the conscious act of forgetting and moving on with the hope of prosperity. Though, contribution of this forgetfulness is not something that we should cherish. Rather as a responsible citizen it’s our duty to recall the bitter memories and learn, so that it can be used as a resource for the future betterment of the nation. Therefore a media platform is needed to express the voice of truth and views of every citizen. Abstractly it can work as a book of truth, peace and patriotism as well as a platform for democratic participation, thoughts & support to our democratic process. To become aware of our rights as a citizen of this country and be more involved in its political development, we need a space that will encourage and inspire us to learn about our own country and its potential. There are three key features in the design. They are: • Symbol and representation • Constituting space in place • Creating public sphere.
