The women, facing violence by their husbands/inmates, die many times before their death! Moreover, the rate of violence against Bangladeshi women in abroad is beyond the imagination. In most cases victims are helpless there, for many reasons as in foreign land. I have tried to portray a simple picture of violence against Bangladeshi women in abroad to realise how endless inhumane lives they pass, and even killed! Details…

A record-breaking number (86.37%) of students came out successful at the SSC and equivalent exam this year. Achievers of GPA-5 also increased markedly this year. The Education Minister has rightly said ‘The record-breaking pass rating is an outcome of creative exam system and special caring incentives of the government’. No doubt, our boys and girls are meritorious and laborious and they try to give their full efforts in studies. Details…

Following on the analysis that was discussed in the first part of the post, I propose to outline some constructive thoughts on the functional contents of an interim/caretaker government as well as to chart out a road map for priority attention and action.

Recent months have seen a resurgence of interest in Interim/Caretaker government for reasons well-known. But are these understandable and more to the point, are these acceptable? The only argument proffered in this regard is that the incumbent government cannot be trusted to be neutral and to ensure free and fair elections. The conundrum here is mind -blowing as this would be the precise position of one or the other major political party come the next election season. The mistrust/distrust not only go on deepening but go spiraling out of control. Details…

Dear All,

It is said that a man has to raise voice whenever there is a nuisance is happening, or else it’s going to spread and may become unstoppable later on. Very recently, I mean to say this afternoon, saw a post on my homepage regarding ULAB ( University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh). The Facebook Page admin of Oprokashito Shotto used the logo of ULAB to spread a news all over. Details…

There was just about a flicker of hope as the media’s brief coverage spotlighted a group of business leaders’ meeting on a new initiative to help address the country’s continuing political uncertainties and ongoing crisis pervading in the economic arena. I could only find some sketchy reports on the move by the doyens of the country’s finance, commerce and industrial community. Details…

When we talk about education, we inevitably stress the need to focus on English, Maths and Science. In a technological world, language, maths and science ultimately equate with economic competitiveness. This might be a smart thinking, but it makes education merely the means to an economic end. While this tendency is not an exception, we should also note the importance of the arts and culture. It is fair then to ask what art actually offers. Details…

Have anybody ever seen an animal to do something to indicate ‘the animals endeavour to remember its ancestor?’ In the animal world parents or better ‘pairs’ are seen as instrument for breeding. Even though initiated exactly with ‘animal-like culture’, men later deviated and developed a very different type of culture. The human culture differs from that of the animals in numerous aspects. Some of these are : (a) Marriage, (b) Taking care of the elders, (c) Cumulative storing of knowledge and experience, (d) Aspiration to be better, (e) Endeavouring to remember the ancestors etc. Details…

After one month of work stoppage and protest, BUET Teachers Association (BUETTA) grudgingly agreed to get back to class from Monday, after getting assurance from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina about fulfilling their demands. Details…

This is the age of global communication by which the people may aware of the different cultures and information through both the electronic and print media. Our next generation may enrich themselves by the media knowledge even in realm of our local and foreign language. But it’s a matter of great regret that many of our news readers/presenters and even moderators do not bother about it. Details…
