Child rights and national drowning prevention strategy: Time to turn policy into action
Every day in Bangladesh, more than 52 people drown, and nearly 40 of them are children. These are not just numbers; they are names, faces, and dreams that end too soon. Behind every statistic lies a family’s grief and a preventable tragedy.
Politics over tea and master of nitrite
Faults are thick where love is thin — the same thing happened in the case of Acharya Prafulla Roy. He studied in Britain. It was there that he made his name as a scientist. Yet he never bowed his head to British imperialism. When the Swadeshi Movement was gaining momentum in the then British India, this pioneer of science raised his voice in opposition to the British. He regularly wrote against them. After ammunition production and indigo cultivation, the British began tea cultivation on the land of this country. And that tea was, of course, exported abroad; but the vast Indian subcontinent itself was a huge market?
Love, politics and the Galois tragedy
Love makes people immortal, teaches them how to love, and from love comes the inspiration to build the world. Love is sacred, love is beautiful, but it can also turn cruel. Love lays out the net of betrayal and destroys human lives. How many lives are lost each year due to the betrayal of love—who keeps count? The love and betrayal of ordinary people may not have much impact on society. A betrayed lover may end his life in an obscure corner of a city or in a remote village, and the world doesn’t bat an eyelid. But if a life is lost to deceitful love — a life to whom mathematics, science or the world itself is indebted — then the tragic tale of that betrayal-stained love cannot be erased from the earth even after ages or centuries have passed.
The Russo-American nuclear war and an Oppenheimer
When Rome was burning, Nero was playing the fiddle—there is some doubt about the truth of this proverb. But while nuclear bombs were dancing a dance of destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, US President Harry Truman was smiling in victory. It was so grotesque that he didn’t hesitate for a moment to insult Oppenheimer, the head of their nuclear bomb project.
Deadly 'PFAS' becomes a new pollution threat
A new deadly form of pollution has emerged in the country named ‘PFAS’. This dangerous pollution is created by compounds formed from fluorine and carbon emitted by various factories. Several surveys have reported that PFAS has spread alarmingly in areas like Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, and Narsingdi. Gradually, it may spread to even wider areas. Researchers warn that if this deadly pollution is not stopped quickly, people will face serious health risks including cancer, skin diseases, liver cirrhosis, heart disease, and thyroid problems.
Big Bang, the universe, and string theory
There is a widely accepted notion that the universe was born through the Big Bang. But is that truly the case? According to the prevailing theory, the Big Bang marked the very beginning of time. There's substantial evidence supporting this. However, the Big Bang theory fails to answer one fundamental question—what existed before the Big Bang?
Bangladesh’s healthcare crisis: Unchecked practice endangers lives
Ensuring the quality of healthcare in Bangladesh is crucial, and one of the key factors is the evaluation of doctors’ qualifications and skills. Medicine is constantly evolving, new diseases emerge, and modern medical practices open new possibilities globally. However, in Bangladesh, once a doctor obtains an MBBS or specialized degree, they can practice medicine for life without any mandatory skills evaluation. As a result, many doctors fail to keep up with the times and continue to follow outdated medical practices, which not only pose risks to patients but also threaten the overall quality of healthcare.
