Why Does Bangladesh’s Knowledge Not Reach Its Businesses?
Bangladesh’s weakest areas are human capital and research (127th), business sophistication (125th) and institutions (113th). The second deserves the most attention, because it shows exactly where the system breaks.
Navi Pillay and the Politics of Peace
Do we seek accountability when the evidence implicates someone we admire? Do we oppose genocide consistently, or only when its perpetrators belong to the other side? The answers matter more than the ease with which we endorse justice in principle.
We Need to Whip Inflation Now. Here's How.
As economic conditions evolve, is the central bank prepared to allow the taka to depreciate, or indeed appreciate should it come to that, over time? The MPS should ideally spell these out in an analytical manner.

How Farmers Lost Their Freedom
To save agriculture, we must bring back the farmer's lost traditional wisdom. Establishing community-based seed banks at the village level to preserve indigenous seed varieties is the ultimate demand of the hour.
You Cannot Renovate a Haunted House
If Bangladesh is to emerge from this transition with institutions genuinely stronger than those it inherited, power must become harder to capture, harder to personalize and easier to restrain.
The Worst of All Worlds
Contrary to what regime defenders believe, this government is not safe. People who are encouraging it to become more coercive are doing it a serious disservice.
The Useful Idiots of Empire
When Global South outlets amplify that framing without question, they become complicit in a propaganda architecture they did not build and do not control.
The Hidden Cost of the New Government Pay Scale
The most significant cost of Bangladesh’s new government pay scale may not be measured in government expenditure. It may be measured in incentives.
The Clock is Ticking
The nation needs a doctrine to specifically define what the state should exist for and what it should deposit into the people's account for a longer term than an electoral cycle. The plan can be subordinated to the doctrine to ensure continuity of governance, not of party.
Why Bangladesh Cannot Afford to Fail the 2027 Money Laundering Test
Bangladesh does not need more boxes ticked. It needs evidence that financial crime is investigated regardless of who committed it, that stolen assets can be recovered, and that institutions can withstand political pressure.

Animal Welfare Across Daily Commerce and Festival Sacrifice
Growing up in Bangladesh, Qurbani Eid generally presented an unseemly sight. In the absence of centralized abattoirs, slaughtering occurred in building compounds, on public streets, or wherever space was available.
Where Did All the Volunteers Go?
The decline in volunteer participation has several negative effects. Communities lose energetic young leaders who can organize awareness campaigns, environmental projects, and emergency responses.
Taking Lessons from the Odyssey at the UN
A country cannot prosper by shutting the world out. Nor can it prosper by opening itself so completely that others determine the terms. Hospitality works because it is reciprocal.
Understanding the New Immigration Reality
In the twenty-first century, the most successful nations will not necessarily be those that simply build higher walls. They will be those that build wiser and wider gates.
Bangladesh’s All-Time Test XI
While recency bias plagues most All-Time XI lists, where how far you go back tends to depend on how old you are, with Bangladesh, we don’t really have to worry about that, as we can only go back to 2000 anyway.
