Why the Taliban's Iron Grip is Slowly Cracking
A regime fighting a two-front war against Pakistan and internal insurgents, unable to feed its own base, splitting at the leadership level, and now facing a resistance movement finally capable of operating on its own home turf.
Banks are Flush with Cash, but Businesses are Starved of Credit
A bank can hold substantial cash yet still be financially weak if years of loan losses have eroded its capital. This distinction is especially important in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Cannot Afford to Miss the AI Train.
History rarely tells countries in advance that the rules of economic advantage are being rewritten. This time, the warning is already visible. Bangladesh cannot recover the technological revolutions it entered late. But it can still decide whether it arrives late to this one.

Turning Bangladesh’s Energy Crisis into a Blessing
At the same time, Bangladesh is producing a growing number of university graduates who are struggling to find productive employment. Rather than treating these two problems separately, Bangladesh should connect them.
Silent Homes, Bleeding Conscience, and the Test of Truth
Ganapati Chakraborty dedicated his life to guiding generations of students towards truth and justice. The blood of his family must not fade into just another transient headline.
A Decade Later, the Rohingya Crisis Is Still Unresolved
The Rohingya do not need another anniversary of international concern. They need a credible pathway to a future.
The People are Reserving Their Judgment. For Now.
The lesson from this survey is a simple one. The government should spend this window of reserved judgment governing, and communicating clearly to the public that it is doing so. The public has made its patience conditional on visible actions, reserving judgment on results. It will not last indefinitely, and it should not be mistaken for endorsement.
The Mecca Pact is an Opportunity for Strategic Autonomy
The strongest argument for Bangladesh joining the pact is not ideological or geo-political. It is strategic and an opportunity to strengthen its security, defense capabilities, economic partnerships, and diplomatic influence, while preserving its desired goal of strategic balance.

When Skills Development Fails to Create Employment
Bangladesh is training more young people, but the economy is not creating enough jobs to absorb them. The result is a growing gap between skills development and meaningful employment.
A Rate Cut Solves the Wrong Problem
Lower interest rates can reduce the cost of borrowing. They cannot repair broken credit discipline, restore depleted capital, or rebuild confidence. Monetary policy can support economic recovery only when the banking system is capable of allocating capital on commercial rather than political grounds.
The Universal Truth, Unspoken Pain, and a Call to the New Dawn
Life is not easy, and assuming it is will only lead to trouble. Yet, there is immense strength in embracing this reality with courage.
The Growing Influence of AI on Gen Z
The future will depend not simply on how intelligent machines become, but on whether society remains committed to nurturing emotionally healthy, critically thoughtful, and socially connected human beings.
But Why Didn’t She Leave?
The woman does not remain because she is foolish. She may be trapped inside a psychologically destabilizing pattern in which exceptional moments of tenderness are interpreted as evidence that the relationship can still be saved.

Central Nepal Flood, the Day After
Satellite images show the glacial collapse on the North Face of Langtang was in Nepal itself
Islamic NATO or Anti-Iran Pact?
The military pact should not be viewed as an Islamic NATO. There are several reasons for this perspective.
