Reasons behind rapid expansion of imitation jewellery market

Ornaments made of gold is the most used and most in-demand jewellery in the world. There is no country in the world where there is no demand for gold jewellery. Especially women have always been fond of gold jewellery. Gold jewellery not only enhances women's beauty but is also considered a valuable asset; but now the users of gold jewellery are going through a crisis. Due to the abnormal rise in the price of gold in the international market, the price of gold jewellery has recently increased significantly in the local market. At the same time, due to the instability of the gold market, many people are now unable to use gold jewellery despite their wishes. Although the price of gold jewellery has increased, the pursuit of beauty by enthusiasts has not stopped. Therefore, they have leaned towards imitation jewellery as an alternative to gold jewellery.

Changes in Parents' prespective a must to prevent child marriage

Marriage is an important chapter in our social system and is also considered as a sacred bond. But child marriage is a bane for any society. Although several improvements in public health and maternal health are visible in our country, the rate of child marriage cannot be cut down significantly. Bangladesh still has the highest rate of child marriage among Asian countries which is harmful for maternal and child health. Despite the authorities formulated laws and policies to stop child marriage, the situation is still concerning due to lack of awareness and implementation of proper laws.

July mass uprising: Why fraudulency in list of martyrs, injured?

When the July–August mass uprising in 2024 exploded on the political horizon of Bangladesh with the promise of a new dawn, many thought the country was finally on the threshold of real change. Especially with the spontaneous participation of the youth, this movement had inspired a new hope, where the slogan of "change" was not just a word, but a collective dream. But unfortunately, the light of that dream quickly faded into deep darkness. One after another, those who claimed to lead the movement have become involved in such scandals that are not only disappointing but downright questionable.

Bangladesh must break free from ‘lobbying trade’

It has long been said that nothing gets done in Bangladesh without lobbying. From getting a job to hospital admission, school enrolment, transfer, promotion, tenders, business registration—everything in this country requires lobbying. Be it a government or non-government institution. It is heard that even a peon’s job today is not obtainable without lobbying. The higher the position, the bigger the task, the higher-ranking the official one must approach. As a result, maintaining good relations with MPs, ministers, and senior government officials to secure lobbying has become a long-standing trade for a certain class of people in this country.

The global legal system and Bangladesh

Every country's legal system has its own specific dynamics. Each country, in its own form and independently, formulates its legal system based on its customs, culture, nature, and necessities. It is acknowledged that a country without a legal system is like a lifeless body, incapable of performing any functions. In the evolution of legal systems in different countries, various elements such as customs, religion, courts, etc., have had significant influence. This is why the expression of different laws varies from state to state, and similarities and differences exist among the elements of laws in different countries.

Favourable environment necessary to attract foreign investment

Economic development at the desired level is not possible in any way without investment. Even if a country is rich in natural resources, investment is needed to achieve prosperity through the use of those resources. Natural resources must be transformed and continuously modified to enhance economic utility. There are many countries in the world that are rich in natural resources, but due to lack of financial capacity to use those resources, they have to lease them to foreign companies. Foreign companies loot the natural resources of the country. Such situations have been observed in many African countries. Therefore, no dignified country wants to hand over its natural resources to the custody of another country.

From Gaza to Iran: We hear cries of people

Just two weeks ago, the eyes of the entire world were on Gaza. All around there was rubble, the cries of bloodied children, the wails of refugees. People, having lost their homes, were fleeing toward unknown destinations. Children stared with helpless eyes due to lack of food. Their gaze repeatedly questioned our conscience. Bombs were even dropped on those shelters where the helpless sought their last refuge for safety.

Multiple vehicles using same number plate fueling accidents, crime

Tampering with vehicle number plates has long been a tactic for criminal activity in Bangladesh. In a bid for higher profits, some transport owners are using the same number plates on multiple vehicles—a practice that is not only illegal but also highly dangerous. These unregistered and often unfit vehicles are increasing the risk of accidents and endangering lives, while depriving the state of significant revenue.
