Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes

My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.

Paying The Penalty For Low Food Stock

There are many good reasons why should a government maintain a minimum food reserve in the country. First of all the government has to run several dozens of foodaided social safety net programmes under the public food distribution system and to do so government must have certain volume of food in the public granaries. Unless the reserve is at sufficient level it may constrain government’s capacity to cater to the needs of ultrapoor, who are generally the beneficiaries of the safety net programmes.

Diplomacy And Papacy: How Do The Twain Meet?

[The essay analyses the challenges that Pope Francis confronted during his recent trip in an effort to defuse the tensions created by the Rohingya crisis between Myanmar and Bangladesh and also to draw the attention of the world to this massive humanitarian crisis. He seemed unswayed by either praise or criticism, and he drew both. He was able to demonstrate that while, as Pope, he might not command any military divisions, as Stalin had disdainfully observed, he had the courage to attempt at more than what many other leaders who did.]

Victory Day Minds Without Fear, Heads Held High

The year 2017 is not the year 1971. The middle-aged citizen of today is no more the youth of yesterday. The freedom we enjoy in these times is far removed from the tortuous struggle we waged for liberty in those times. And yet there is something called history that connects the dots and links the linear lines of matters generational. That is the reason why we remember 16 December 1971 in winter 2017.

Bangabandhu, Tajuddin...And Our Sad History

There is a whole raft of reasons why Tajuddin Ahmad will not be forgotten by this nation. And it is particularly in October when memories of the man who led the battlefield struggle for national liberation are reignited, enough to make us ponder whether the chaos we wallowed through between August 1975 and June 1996 would have come to pass had Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Tajuddin Ahmad not fallen out with each other.

KIFF Finding Its Distinct Voice

In Japan film festivals are often seen by outsiders as a congested pack where each try hard to get its distinct voice heard far and wide. However, except for a handful of festivals like the Tokyo International, the majority of forty plus film festivals end up being also in the group that failed to attract wide attention of the media or general audience. Hence, for a new festival to make a breakthrough is extremely difficult. This is precisely the reason that when the city of Kyoto decided to launch a brand new international film festival in 2014, there was widely held apprehension about its success.
