Does it mark the end of an era, or return to a bygone era in which Hindu-Muslim clash was a celebrated theme? The Muslim-majority Bangladesh next door, which has just survived a massive political upheaval, adds urgency to our query.
For Bangladesh, diplomacy has now become more important than ever before. It will require a sophisticated neighbourhood policy that combines realism with prudence. Emotional reactions or reactive nationalism unlikely to serve Bangladesh’s long-term interests well.
In an era dominated by misinformation and aggressive supplement marketing, creatine stands apart as a rare example of a supplement supported by decades of rigorous scientific investigation.
What India did for us is real. What India has done to us, and what it has told itself to justify that, is the projection.
A farmer in Rangpur, a student in Barishal, an entrepreneur in Khulna, or a patient in Sylhet should not feel disadvantaged simply because they live outside Dhaka.
Bangladesh cannot sustain its growth economically if our banking system remains feeble and compromised. The solutions are well known: Independence, accountability, transparency, good compliance, governance, and professionalism. What’s missing is the willpower to enforce them.
As we sit at our dining tables day in and day out, perhaps we cannot picture a mother sitting at home in Sudan, unable to silence her shrieking child because she must feed him or her boiled leaves or grass.
An already weakened Bengali Nationalism is going to be almost moribund. At the core of Bengali Nationalism is a common social and cultural heritage of the Bengali speaking people in both sides of the border.

Gen Z or Alpha loves beauty and boldness, not beast, humility with harshness when necessary, eloquence, not quiet. The leaders who hide behind humility or show arrogance from the pulpit to conceal the purpose of rule are obsolete.
This economic progress is worth celebrating, but it is arriving with a metabolic cost that the nation’s healthcare system is not equipped to handle yet
The real problem is not device ownership. It is device access. And how you design that difference determines whether a policy quietly succeeds or loudly fails
The question is whether Bangladesh has the courage to apply the same scrutiny to every class of collaborators past and present, left and right, secular and religious and to build a republic where proximity to power is no longer the country's most valuable currency.
It feels unjust to see a human life reduced to a symbol of negativity, especially when that reduction is driven by forces beyond the individual’s control. Yet the reaction itself cannot be dismissed as irrational. It is the product of a pattern that has become too consistent to ignore.
The BJP’s victory was structurally broad, its final scale may have been amplified by UA deletions in specific close contests, but TMC’s losses in Muslim-majority constituencies also point to a genuine political swing. A warning sign that may matter well beyond this election.
