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.

In The Paradise Papers
Tax avoidance/evasion in Bangladesh hardly required an offshore company in the 90s and 2000s. And that might also explain Bangladesh’s fairly light presence in the trove of Offshore Leaks.

Assessing The Roles Of Social Media In Youth Radicalization
The phenomenon of violent extremism is growing day by day around the world. There is of course a plethora of research on youth radicalization in recent years. However, as most of the research has focused on the source and content of radical messages, a key missing element has been understanding the dynamics that take place at the very end of the communication chain — that is, how young people actually receive and perceive messages, and what conditions make them more receptive to extremist recruiting.

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.
