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.

Ramisa is gone: Heart immersed in dull, icy darkness

Currently, the familiar classroom of the second grade at the Popular Model School in Mirpur is enveloped in silence. Outside, the sun blazes, yet the interior of the room is shrouded in a dull, icy gloom. The bench where Ramisa, the class's top student, would sit daily to organize her books with remarkable skill, feels even more desolate and quiet today.

Family or state: Who bears the responsibility for the safety of children?

Each day, upon engaging with the media, we are confronted with distressing reports of child abuse, rape, murder, kidnapping, and child labor. Recently, incidents such as the murder of Ramisa, along with a series of child abuse and murder cases across various regions of the country, have profoundly unsettled society once more. Whether at school, at home, or on the streets, it appears that children are not entirely safe in any environment. In this technological era, children encounter numerous risks both in the physical world and online.

Who bears the responsibility for this disgrace?

To begin with, the politicians in our nation are accountable for this disgrace. I will refrain from naming any particular party; the primary responsibility for child abuse in Bangladesh rests with the senior leaders of all political factions. However, it is shameful that they neither take nor acknowledge this responsibility. I am attributing blame to politicians in light of the rape and murder of child Ramisa in Mirpur. The immediate response to this might be, 'Will politicians go from door to door to protect children?' In a civilized political framework, there is no necessity for politicians to go door to door to safeguard children; if educated and aware individuals with a sense of civic duty and state customs are nurtured, they will become the guardians of their own moral compass. Another response might be, do educated individuals not commit crimes? Certainly, they do; however, genuinely educated individuals do not resort to violence, whether physical or verbal. This is our misfortune, a disgraceful failure on the part of our politicians. The education system in Bangladesh could arguably be considered one of the most inadequate education systems globally at this time.

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?

Climate migrants in Dhaka: The human face of Bangladesh’s climate crisis

Every morning in Dhaka, millions of people pass by street vendors on crowded footpaths, rickshaw pullers weaving through impossible traffic, and construction workers laboring under the heat to build the city’s ever-expanding skyline. To many urban residents, they are simply part of Dhaka’s informal economy- visible yet invisible at the same time.
