Milon: ...Uttam, you've got to understand. It's not just a matter of democracy and national liberation. The real issue is economic emancipation. And here's where imperialism comes in. And the need for class struggle.
Uttam: You're still under the spell of your communist ghosts. You know what's funny -- don't mind this -- despite your differences, there's a strange similarity between you and your big brother. Kazi shaheb's homeo-path, and you're Marx-path: both came from Germany. Did you notice that?
Shaheen: And fascism also has its roots in Germany!
4th friend: Marxism, capitalism, all isms -- in the process of fighting over all these Western isms and schisms we're just screwing ourselves!
Shaheen: So what about Islam? Isn't that just another thing from the West?
4th friend: Why should that be? I think our Islam has flourished from our own soil.
Milon: No matter how much we argue, the truth is that nothing is purely indigenous. Everything is mixed up.
