Why Bangladesh should not join the Mecca Pact just to appease Pakistan or send a signal to India (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman told parliament last week that Dhaka would view an invitation to join the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement positively, he framed the country's possible participation as “a measure for the self-defense of the global Muslim community”. “It is an internal matter of the Muslim family,” Rahman explained. In India, where the prospect of Bangladesh joining a defence pact founded by Pakistan has drawn considerable attention, that framing has understandably
Post July uprising, Bangladesh has rediscovered 1947 – but forgotten those uprooted by Partition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, August 15 in Bangladesh commemorated one event above all others: the assassination of the country’s founding president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and most of his family in 1975. It was observed as a day of state mourning. It rarely evoked the day British rule over the subcontinent ended in 1947 and Bengal was bifurcated.

For three years before that, the exiled Nasrin had lived in Kolkata, a city she described as her second home. She now lives in Delhi. Th
What Sheikh Hasina’s pledge to return home around December could mean for Bangladesh – and India (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sheikh Hasina, the ousted prime minister of Bangladesh, has said that she will return home around December and surrender despite the death sentence handed down against her while she has been living in exile in India. In a telephone interview with Reuters published on Friday, the 78-year-old said she would return alongside senior Awami League leaders to challenge what she called the unlawful dissolution of her party. “They may arrest me on my return, they may even kill me,” she said. “Still, I ha
