Traditional Institutions As Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh
01_riaz_055072 (jk-t) 15/6/05 11:43 am Page 171 Traditional Institutions as Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh Ali Riaz Illinois State University, USA ABSTRACT Since 1991, salish (village arbitration) and fatwa (religious edict) have become common features of Bangladesh society, especially in rural areas. Women and non-governmental development organizations (NGOs) have been subjected to fatwas delivered through a traditional social institution called salish. This article examines this phenomenon and its relationship to the rise of Islam as political ideology and increasing strengths of Islamist parties in Bangladesh. This article challenges existing interpretations that persecution of women through salish and fatwa is a reaction of the rural community against the modernization process; that fatwas represent an important tool in the backlash of traditional elites against the impoverished rural women; and that the actions of the rural mullahs do not have any political links. The article shows, with several case studies, that use of salish and fatwa as tools of subjection of women and development organizations reflect an effort to utilize traditional local institutions to further particular interpretations of behavior and of the rights of indi- viduals under Islam, and that this interpretation is intrinsically linked to the Islamists’ agenda. Keywords: Bangladesh; fatwa; political Islam Introduction Although the alarming rise of the militant Islamists in Bangladesh and their menacing acts in the rural areas have received international media attention in recent days (e.g. Griswold, 2005), the process began more than a decade ago. The policies of the authoritarian military regimes that ruled Bangladesh between 1975 and 1990, and the politics of expediency of the two major politi- cal parties – the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) – enabled the Islamists to emerge from the political wilderness to a legit- imate political force in the national arena (Riaz, 2003). -
Water Pricing for Slum Dwellers in Dhaka Metropolitan Area: Is It Affordable?
WATER PRICING FOR SLUM DWELLERS IN DHAKA METROPOLITAN AREA: IS IT AFFORDABLE? Muhammad Mizanur Rahaman*, Tahmid Saif Ahmed & Abdullah Al-Hadi Department of Civil Engineering, University of Asia Pacific, House 8, Road 7, Dhanmondi, Dhaka -1205, Bangladesh Fax: +88029664950 Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Bangladesh is facing serious water management challenge to ensure affordable water supply for all, especially in urban areas. Both the availability and the quality of water are decreasing in the poor urban areas. Besides, the population situation of the country is getting worst in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, which became one of the megacities in the world in terms of population and urbanization. The aim of this research is to address the following question: “Are slum dwellers in Dhaka Metropolitan Area capable for paying for Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority’s (DWASA) services?”. This study focused on three slums in Dhaka Metropolitan Area namely Korail slum, Godown slum and Tejgaon slum to determine the current water price in these slums and to compare it with water price of other cities of the world. A field study has been conducted during July and August 2014. It involves semi structured questionnaire survey and focus group discussions with slum dwellers and various stakeholders. For secondary data source, a wide range of books, peer-reviewed articles, researcher documents, related websites and databases have been reviewed. Result shows that for domestic water use slum dwellers are paying about 7 to 14 times higher than legal connection holders covered by DWASA. -

Impacts of Climate Variability on Major Food Crops in Selected Agro-Ecosystems of Bangladesh M
Ann.M. G. Bangladesh Miah, M. A. Agric. Rahman, (2016) M. 20(1 M. Rahman & 2) : 61-74 and S. R. Saha ISSN 1025-482X (Print)61 2521-5477 (Online) IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON MAJOR FOOD CROPS IN SELECTED AGRO-ECOSYSTEMS OF BANGLADESH M. G. Miah*1, M. A. Rahman1, M. M. Rahman1 and S. R. Saha1 Abstract The agriculture of Bangladesh has been recognized as one of the most vulnerable sectors to the impacts of climate change due to its juxtaposing geographical position. This study examined the nexus between long-term (1960–2014) climate variables with the yield and area of major food crops in selected agro-ecosystems (Gazipur, Comilla, Jessore, and Dinajpur) of Bangladesh. Secondary data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) were used in analyzing climate variability for all the studied locations. Data of crop yields were collected from the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) local offices and respective farmers. Fifty farmers from each site were selected randomly and interviewed to investigate the farmers’ perceptions regarding the climate change phenomenon and its impact on crop production. Results showed the increasing trend of temperatures with time, which became more pronounced in Jessore and Dinajpur. Annual rainfall also revealed an increasing trend in all locations except Comilla. The analyses of Lower Confidence Level (LCL) and Upper Confidence Level (UCL) clearly indicated that the climate in recent years (1990–2014) changed conspicuously compared to that in 30 years ago (1960– 1989). Results of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) indicated drought intensity, which was distinct in Dinajpur and Jessore. Although area under crop production had declined, yields showed an increasing trend in all locations because of technological advances. -

A Puzzle in the Hindu Population Growth in Bangladesh
A puzzle in the Hindu population growth in Bangladesh Background: Bangladesh is a plural society with Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, and tribal faiths [1]. In 2011, Muslims constituted 90.4%, Hindus 8.5%, Christians 0.3%, and Buddhists 0.6% (Table 1). Only 0.1% people are affiliated with other faiths most of which are probably from the tribal populations. There has not been much change in the proportion of Christian, Buddhist, and other religious group over the 60 year period 1951-2011, but the proportion of Hindu population declined dramatically from 22.0% in 1951 to 8.5% in 2011. The pace of decline seems to be higher in the period between 1951 and 1981 than between 1981 and 2011. The shrinking of the relative share of Non-Muslim population is striking. As expected, the absolute size of all the religious groups has increased. However, population growth rates were different for different religious groups, highest for the Muslims, followed by Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus. Markedly very low rate of growth is observed for the Hindus. Because of substantially higher growth rate of Muslims than Hindus, the relative proportion of Hindu population has declined. Migration was a key element of population change in the early days of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. Approximately 4.7 million Hindus sought refuge in India from the then East Pakistan between 1947 and 1971 [2], and also lots of Muslims migrated to East Pakistan from India but that number was thought to be much lower than the Hindu migration.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Bangladesh wishes to inform the meeting that as Regulator and Air Navigation Service Provider, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) provides CNS/ATM services. ADS-B is a surveillance technology supporting Radar like separation standards to enhance the flight safety and efficiency in Bangladesh. 1.2 Bangladesh has taken a Public Private Partnership (PPP) project that includes the installation of ADS-B ground stations throughout the country as back up to the proposed new radar systems and as a means of filling the gap in radar coverage over the Bay of Bengal area. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 One of the primary safety objectives of ADS-B implementation is to provide surveillance coverage over the Bay of Bengal including the FIR boundary of Dhaka, Kolkata and Yangon ACC’s. 2.2 Bangladesh is willing to share ADS-B data and VHF RCAG communications with neighboring States to enhance the safety and surveillance capability in the Sub-region. 2.3 Bangladesh will install radar (PSR and MSSR) systems in two locations- one is at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka under the ongoing PPP project and the other is at Shah Amanat International Airport, Chittagong under the on-going JICA funded project.
