Pohela Boishakh festival: A unison in straight line of Bengali identity
At the beginning of the New Year, everyone offers good wishes. I, too, extend greetings—yet not only that. Alongside my well-wishes, I speak of hatred. Hatred—fierce, intense, overwhelming, and sacred! Yes, like everyone else, I extend New Year’s greetings. But I’m not one to greet everyone indiscriminately. For friends, I offer my warmest wishes, but for enemies—never. They deserve only hatred. I direct that hatred at those who exploit Pohela Boishakh, a secular and apolitical festival, by smearing it with political colors to serve their vested interests. If we forgive such people even on this celebratory day, they will take our forgiveness as a sign of weakness and grow even more aggressive in their hostility.
Why the "No Page Tearing" graffiti is causing uproar?
Sometimes it feels as if the country has become like a land of anarchy. No one understands when, who, why, or how something happens. It seems it's a country where anyone can do anything here. A page that carried messages of harmony and goodwill led to turmoil, and in the ensuing clashes, 33 people were injured. Such an incident could likely only happen in Bangladesh, because this nation has seemingly lost its sense of reason and logical judgment. Especially some groups are constantly trying to exploit the situation for their own gain. Otherwise, this event cannot be explained in any other way.
Holi festival today
Holi, a Hindu religious festival of colours, will be celebrated across the country today with due religious fervour and much enthusiasm.
