Why this reality persists even after 151, out of 193, UN member states recognised Palestine

In October 2023, Israel launched yet another indiscriminate attack on Gaza. Almost two years on, the death toll in Gaza has already exceeded 65,000. Nearly all of the 2.1 million residents of the besieged enclave have been displaced multiple times. Recently, Israel began a full-scale assault on Gaza City, the largest city in the territory. The objective is clear — to empty this densely populated city completely and seize control of it. In this situation, international pressure on the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western countries to force Israel to end the war and genocide is steadily increasing.

Free displaced community from clutches of political corruption

Refugees have no place anywhere in the world—not even in their own homeland. Families rendered homeless by river erosion, who build new settlements elsewhere, are again evicted from those places through political power. According to news reports published on Thursday (9 October), Urirchar, a remote union on the ancient island of Sandwip in the Bay of Bengal, has become one of the major shelters for climate-displaced people. But now, this very settlement is also falling victim to political thuggery, forcing its residents to become refugees once again.

The future never arrives; it is always awaited

As in every year, this year too there was much speculation surrounding the Nobel Prize in Literature. Among the possible contenders was the Hungarian short story writer and novelist László Krasznahorkai, who is also well known as a screenwriter. Born in 1954, this eminent writer won the Man Booker Prize in 2015. Now, at the age of seventy-one, he has been awarded the Nobel Prize in 2025. His novels may be described as belonging to the dystopian genre. His celebrated novel The Melancholy of Resistance was adapted into a film by the renowned director Béla Tarr.

Downhill on a Forest Road

In 2025, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Hungarian writer Laszlo Krasznahorkai. He was born on 5 January 1954 in the small Hungarian town of Gyula. Although he studied law at university, he eventually found his lasting home in literature. His life is quiet and disciplined—he often spends time alone in the hilly regions of Hungary, writing, travelling, and reflecting on the philosophies of Chinese and Japanese culture.

Advanced research is crucial for prosperity

Bangladesh is progressing in various sectors. Large bridges, industries, nuclear power plants, international seaports—all are being constructed. However, day by day, the country is lagging behind in the field of research. As a result, much of the scientific and technological work is being carried out with foreign intervention

Why such large entourage when only 7 can attend UNGA

Chief Adviser of the Interim Government Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus went to New York in the United States to attend the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Along with seven advisers and officials of equivalent rank, six leaders from three political parties accompanied him—BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, the Acting Chairman’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher and Dr Nakibur Rahman, National Citizen Party (NCP) Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain and Joint Convener Dr Tasnim Zara. Initially, Dr Nakibur Rahman and Tasnim Zara were not included in the delegation; they were later added at the request of Jamaat and NCP.

No hope for country’s progress without improving education

Whichever government comes to power in Bangladesh, each promises a wave of development. During the previous Awami League government, we witnessed many such waves. There was some infrastructural development, but nothing was done in the sector that forms the foundation of nation-building—education. The current interim government has also failed in this area. Several commissions were formed for state reform, but not a single education commission. Ahead of the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election, the political parties have already begun their campaigns. The major parties are making big promises—what they will do if they come to power—but hardly anyone is talking about education. This clearly shows that all our governments and politicians have the same attitude towards education—they are blind to it.

Tarique Rahman’s interview and future of BNP politics

The most discussed event in Bangladesh’s recent politics is the long interview given by BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman to BBC Bangla. After seventeen long years in exile, this interview is not merely a message of his personal return; rather, it also carries hints of a possible new equation in Bangladesh’s future politics. As one of the main contenders for power, the BNP has long suffered from a crisis of leadership, internal divisions, corruption allegations, and failure to wage an effective movement. In such a context, this public political statement from the party’s top leader has sparked new debate—some see it as the beginning of BNP’s resurgence, while others consider it still an undefined promise.

How long will helpless be tortured in name of loans

Although interest and loans are considered one of the main driving forces of the economy, many religions and legal systems have prohibited them since ancient times. This is because loans and interest increase social inequality. The moneylender never takes any risk of loss; rather, he always ensures profit by exploiting the helplessness of poor people. As a result, the poor become poorer and the riches become richer. And for this, helpless people often fall victim to tragic inhumanity.
