The Missing Weapon in the Fight Against Crime
Creating jobs, then, isn’t only economic policy. Done alongside effective law enforcement, it is a policy for dignity, social stability, and ultimately crime prevention. One hand must enforce the law. The other must build something worth not risking.
How Salinity is Threatening Coastal Public Health
The historical responsibility for climate change belongs to the developed world, yet the extreme price is still being paid by our marginalized coastal people.
A New Chapter in Bangladesh’s Diplomacy
Bangladesh’s foreign policy has entered a period in which strategic balance, with the core guiding principle of “Bangladesh First” will be increasingly important.

AI Slowdown Calls Deserve Skepticism, Not Applause
If Amodei, Altman, and Musk actually believe what they're saying about the stakes, the test isn't whether they write an essay or post a tweet. It's whether they support external, binding, independently enforced rules that apply to everyone equally, including the possibility that a genuinely safer path is a slower, smaller AI industry than the one currently raising trillion-dollar valuations.
When a Mob Becomes a Political Attack
Democratic pressure seeks to influence a decision through persuasion. A mob seeks compliance through intimidation. That distinction matters because political purpose does not neutralize coercive method.
The Never-Ending Story
Nine years ago, the Rohingya crossed into Bangladesh expecting to stay for a season. They are still there. The speeches have changed hands three times, but the camps have not moved.
The Mecca Pact Just Failed Its First Real Test
A defence pact that only defends when nobody is actually being attacked is not a defence pact. It is a press release, and Mecca's first stress test made that painfully clear.
The Clock is Ticking
The nation needs a doctrine to specifically define what the state should exist for and what it should deposit into the people's account for a longer term than an electoral cycle. The plan can be subordinated to the doctrine to ensure continuity of governance, not of party.
Why Bangladesh Cannot Afford to Fail the 2027 Money Laundering Test
Bangladesh does not need more boxes ticked. It needs evidence that financial crime is investigated regardless of who committed it, that stolen assets can be recovered, and that institutions can withstand political pressure.

The Boys We Push Away Just When They Need Us Most
We do not need to treat every adolescent as a potential delinquent, nor romanticize their behaviour; we simply need to stop treating their awkwardness, anger, arrogance, and confusion as reasons to abandon them.
The Marriage Market and Marrying Late
That creates a peculiar social paradox: The more accomplished a woman becomes, the more selective the marriage market can become -- not because her value diminishes, but because the available configurations change.
Taking Lessons from the Odyssey at the UN
A country cannot prosper by shutting the world out. Nor can it prosper by opening itself so completely that others determine the terms. Hospitality works because it is reciprocal.
Understanding the New Immigration Reality
In the twenty-first century, the most successful nations will not necessarily be those that simply build higher walls. They will be those that build wiser and wider gates.
Bangladesh’s All-Time Test XI
While recency bias plagues most All-Time XI lists, where how far you go back tends to depend on how old you are, with Bangladesh, we don’t really have to worry about that, as we can only go back to 2000 anyway.
