Two Revolutionaries, One Cause: Justice

Dr. Mustofa Munir 
History often forges its most enduring parallels not through chronology, but through conscience. Across different eras, languages, and battlefields, certain spirits rise with the same fire—to resist tyranny, to speak for the silenced, and to demand justice at any cost. Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam and Shahid Osman Hadi belong to that rare lineage. Though separated by a century, they stood on the same moral ground, fought the same kind of oppression, and, in a ...

A patriot’s journey: Fighting for democracy, standing against fascism

Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque

With no health worker available and the local clinic closed, she waited until daylight to travel to the Sadar hospital. By the time she finally reached the overcrowded emergency room, it was too late. A young life was lost—not because Bangladesh lacks the...

From executive control to judicial self-rule

Farrukh Khosru:

The independence of the judiciary in Bangladesh has long been regarded as a constitutional promise repeatedly deferred. Although the Constitution of 1972 clearly enshrines judicial autonomy — particularly through Articles 22, 94(4), 109, and 116A — the practical realisation of this ideal has historically been impeded by entrenched executive dominance.
