A while back, in the old PDF, I proposed a 2030 plan (obviously wanted Hasina to stay until 2030):
1. New presidential system and PR based parliament.
2. Changing the name of Bangladesh to “Sultanate of Bangladesh”.
3. Adopting the Mughal era flag as the current one is awful because it conveys victimhood.
4. New national anthem that regales the Mughal era glory.
5. English as the official language to stop illiterates from assuming public office. And to align the quality of Bangladeshi civil service with that of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

I agree with all apart from 5. as that is the language of the British coloniers that destroyed what may have been the richest area of the planet in the mid-18th century and stopped any possibility of industrialisation of Bengal. Bengal was one of the few non-European countries that saw indigenous proto-industrialisation(precursor to industrialisation) in the world at that time.
As for getting rid of illiterates you can do that with a standardised test on reading, writing and general knowledge before anyone can stand for office.
