Fate to be written in El Clásico

Barcelona, already Copa del Rey champions, have the chance to complete a domestic double with the league title. A win in El Clásico would stretch their lead to seven points, a gap that would be nearly impossible to close in the final three games. On the other hand, if Real Madrid win, the gap would narrow to a single point—setting up a nail-biting finish to the season.

Dawn of female leadership in Olympics

How easy will it be for deposed AL to make a comeback after uprising?

The Awami League, the party that led Bangladesh’s Liberation War, has been ousted from power 53 years after independence through a mass uprising—an event with at least twenty contributing factors. While conspiracy theories and accusations of foreign interference continue to circulate, there is no denying that in recent years the Awami League became increasingly disconnected from the people due to rampant corruption, partisan favoritism, and nepotism.

If interim government doesn’t set an example in reform, it won't happen again

Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the caretaker government, has placed excessive emphasis on reform. He clearly stated, “Not flimsy reform, not superficial reform, but fundamental reform. We will do it in such a way that no one will be able to undo it.” He also remarked, “My only concern is reform. Debate all you want about what the reforms will be, but let’s not hold an election without reform… Don't miss this opportunity.” His words are commendable; however, they are not grounded in the realities of the situation. He dreams, but in trying to realize those dreams, he faces disillusionment. His claim that he will make reform irreversible is rooted more in emotion than in practical reality.

Khaleda Zia’s political decorum is worth emulating

In the history of every nation, there comes a time when certain events outshine all others—moments shaped by personalities who alter the course of destiny, inject momentum into national progress, offer new directions, and inspire deep introspection. One such figure in Bangladesh's political landscape is Begum Khaleda Zia, the uncompromising leader and Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), who has long been a symbol of the country’s sovereignty and independence.

Before looking at others, let’s first look in the mirror

If it has taken 54 years for a nation to descend into decay, how can we expect it to be transformed in just one year? If the people of Bangladesh truly wish to become free from corruption, honest, educated, just, and creative, can that really happen within a single year? The truth is—one cannot extinguish the fire of 54 years of corruption in a single year and expect good outcomes.

There is no alternative to an elected government for economic progress

Under the leadership of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the primary task of the interim government is to steer the country back to a truly democratic system through proper democratic procedures. The expectation and aspiration of the people is to be able to elect a government of their choice through the exercise of their voting rights. There is no room for deception in this process. The recent mass movement began over the demand for reforming the quota system in government jobs, but it eventually evolved into a movement for toppling the government. At the heart of the movement lies one core demand: democracy, democracy, and democracy.

 Rabindranath

You, Rabindranath, did not believe in the state; you believed in society. In your view, in the Indian subcontinent, society was paramount, while the state was an imposition—an intrusive entity. The state was external; society was our own. You held a firm belief that we could shape society in our own image.
