Bangladesh

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…

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…

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…

To keep our economic balance the relation with our neighbouring country as well as the West should be dynamic. As we are having a huge population and a large section of people are illiterate too; we have to achieve economic solvency or else our future generation will suffer a lot and as a nation we will be lagging behind the competition with other countries.

One breaking news thundered me this noon while I was watching different private TV channels where the scoop news was “An AC (Land) and TNO (Thana Nirbahi Officer) has been beaten by an OC (Officer in Charge) at Feni district and OC was closed”. What a surprising matter! How is it possible? Is it the result of the upgrading the OC position into a first class officer? Do they compare now with the other cadre officers like AC (Land) and TNO(Thana Nirbahi Officer)? Details…
