The largest sewer in the metropolis, which runs through the middle of Rajshahi city to the Padma River, was once called 'Barahi'. This Barahi is now the largest sewer in the town. As per British geographer James Rennell's map, a river came from the north and merged with the Padma at the east of Barakuthi in Rampur-Boalia. In the 19th century, this river came to be known as Barahi. Until independence, this river was known as Maranodi from Rajshahi city to Baya and as Narahi in Nowhata. According to Bock's design, this Barahi once passed through the Mandar Beel (wetland) of Atray and passed through the Ter-Khadiya Beel to the north of Rampur-Boalia, first into the Mahananda and then into the Padma. At that time, it was quite fast-flowing and wide. And today's vast Padma was not so wide in this area at that time. So, how did the Padma take on a huge shape and how did the Barahi become a drain? The answer is: an earthquake.
When Chinese President Xi Jinping stood before world leaders on the stage of Davos in Switzerland in 2017, his voice was filled with a message of peace. While newly elected Donald Trump was calling for 'America First', Xi spoke of 'mutual benefit' in global trade - the media gave him the title of 'protector of globalization'. But behind that seemingly calm and generous declaration, a different plan was going on inside.

On Monday morning, I was utterly shocked after watching a video clip. Filmed from a distance, the video showed towering flames rising above the trees, lighting up the night sky. At first glance, I thought the footage was from Ukraine or Gaza. But soon I realised I was wrong. According to various media reports, it was not a scene of destruction from abroad, but from Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka—where students of Daffodil International University had vandalised and set fire to the campus of City University. As the day went on, the horror of the incident became even clearer.
