Why is Delhi sending Dinesh Trivedi to Dhaka?

Dinesh Trivedi is set to arrive in Dhaka. This announcement has sparked considerable interest and enthusiasm within the diplomatic and political communities of Dhaka. Numerous individuals have served as Indian High Commissioners in Dhaka, and many more are expected to follow. However, Dinesh Trivedi stands out as 'unique' among those who have held this position, even before he officially assumes office. Unlike his predecessors, he is neither a seasoned diplomat nor a senior bureaucrat; rather, he is a prominent figure in Indian politics, having previously served as a member of the Lok Sabha and held ministerial roles in the central government. He is recognized as a close associate of India's current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Additionally, he was the inaugural general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, the party led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Consequently, it is only natural to wonder why such a significant political figure is being dispatched from Delhi to Dhaka.

A turbulent world, a dreamer and a thrilling game: How the FIFA World Cup began

The FIFA World Cup, the world's biggest sporting event, did not exist nearly a century ago. In those days, the Olympic Games were the only stage for determining the world's best football team. Seeing the massive global response to the sport, FIFA's first president, Jules Rimet, wondered: if football is so popular, why should it not have its own global stage?

Struggle of life in Jyeshtha heat

In the month of Jyeshtha, nature adopts a severe demeanor. The sun unleashes its fiery rays upon the sky, causing the air to become oppressive and scorching. As Rabindranath Tagore eloquently stated, "Jyeshther khorroddroi Jyeshther oshrushunno rodon"—during this period, nature appears to emit a silent yet fervent heat. Consequently, the phrase "struggle of life in the heat of Jyeshtha" transcends mere seasonal description; it vividly illustrates the daily survival challenges faced by the common populace of Bangladesh.
