DU must not be turned into a battleground for history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The recent removal of photographs and documents relating to the Liberation War from the archive gallery of Dhaka University Central Student Union (Ducsu) is not merely a dispute over photographs; it is a struggle over who gets to define Bangladesh’s historical memory. Few universities in the world can claim that their campus was at the epicentre of their nation’s birth. Dhaka University can; its history is inseparable from the country’s independence. From the Language Movement in 1952 to the Mas
Jamaat’s 1971 role: How the apology was repeatedly thwarted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A section of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders made repeated efforts to persuade the party’s top leadership to issue a formal, unqualified apology for opposing Bangladesh’s independence in 1971. Several drafts were prepared over the years, but the initiative never materialised as influential figures within the party repeatedly blocked the move. Lawyer Abdur Razzaq, who served as Jamaat’s assistant secretary general from 2003 to 2019 before quitting the party, reveals the internal disputes within its top e
Democracy held back by weak institutions (opens the original)

While political parties have agreed that the country’s top executive office should be subject to a time limit, only a few have meaningful limits on how long an individual can remain at the helm of the party itself. This raises a larger question -- if political parties are t
New pay scale an unequal answer to inflation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Justified and equitable are two very different bars to clear and the cabinet’s approval of the ninth pay scale clears only the first. The country now operates with a two-speed workforce. One group has just had a decade of eroded purchasing power restored by cabinet fiat. The other -- the vast majority -- is still waiting for wages to catch up with relentless inflation. Ultimately, this sweeping new pay scale widens the chasm between the state’s payroll and everyone else. The problem isn’t the ra
