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.

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.

Is this the real face of NGO activities?

While top NGO officials, dressed in crisp, white, ironed panjabis, shout themselves hoarse about governance, human rights, and sustainable development inside air-conditioned seminar halls, a despicable example of the harsh reality faced by marginalized people sweating in the scorching heat outside has emerged in Tarash, Sirajganj. For the 'crime' of failing to pay a microcredit installment, a mother was sent to jail after her eighteen-month-old nursing infant was snatched from her arms. Yet, according to official records, the actual amount in dispute was a mere two hundred taka.

Iran has learned to survive despite adversities

Since the dawn of the Persian Empire, Iran has carried a long history of surviving against adversity. Through invasions, political turmoil, and wars over time, this resilient mindset has been forged. The Iran-Iraq war, in particular, taught the country how to build resistance with limited resources and sustain a prolonged battle. Today, as Tehran finds itself in direct confrontation with a world power like the United States, the question arises: is this stance merely the result of modern technology and military capability, or is it a lesson in self-reliance drawn from harsh historical experience? Or is it a resolute expression of determination to hold its head high and endure while preserving Persia's ancient heritage?

Lens witness to liberation: Raghu Rai and Bangladesh’s 1971 war

History is often written with words—but sometimes, a single photograph speaks louder than any chronicle. Few understood this better than legendary Indian photojournalist Raghu Rai, whose camera framed not just events, but the emotional and human epic of Bangladesh’s Liberation War in 1971.

According to many, the interests of Bangladesh have not been properly protected in the agreement. A review of the agreement has shown that it has ensured more benefits for the United States than the concessions provided for Bangladesh.
