Iran-Israel war puts global economy at risk
From the beginning of creation to the present day, the history of the world has been soaked in the blood of Adam’s descendants. Thousands of innocent people have been sacrificed in the name of asserting one's greatness. Throughout the ages, the ruling class has been desperate to assert power or establish dominance over others. As a result, the soil of earth has been soaked with the blood of millions of innocents. Although wars are initiated by the ruling class, it is the ordinary people who lose their lives. The current history of the world is no exception. The global population has already witnessed the devastation of two world wars.
No place for independent thinking in creativity environment of Bangladesh
When thinking about the intellectual world and arts-literature of Bangladesh, many thoughts arise that I wish to write and express; but I cannot.

The relationship between Europe and the United States traces its origins back to the battlefields of World War II. From those war-torn grounds emerged the foundations of geopolitical blocs.

A multi-dimensional competition took shape between the two blocs, each accusing the other of trying to destroy its internal unity. Just as American troops couldn’t establish a presence in Eastern European countries, Soviet tanks couldn’t roll into the Prussian fields due to the U.S.'s opposition. This attempt to separate the U.S. from Europe was once termed “decoupling.” What decades of Cold War hostility failed to accomplish, former U.S. President Donald Trump has moved to achieve within mere weeks.
Ask yourself once, please
Vandalism in Bangladeshi politics is nothing new. Since the 1990s, we have repeatedly witnessed destruction in various movements, demands, strikes, blockades, and protests. Over the past three decades, we have even seen fires set to moving passenger buses and trains, causing casualties. Yet, we have failed to establish a political culture free from such destruction.
