Sad because it was such a Thing - they were going to Bangladesh, and it was such a project, such a journey to an alien land, and it turns out it was just the same as India. And if Indians and Bangladeshis are the same people and can be trusted to get along when governments don't tell them they are inherently different and opposed, then what was the point of the whole mess, you know?

(you weren't to know, don't worry; I didn't really make my feelings clear in my post.)
