    VFAST Transactions on Education and Social Sciences http://vfast.org/journals/index.php/VTSE@ 2019 ISSN(e): 2309-3951;ISSN(p): 2411-0221 Volume 7, Number 1, January-December, 2019 pp. 21-30 WEDDED TO GREED: BRIDE BURNING IN BANGLADESH DR. ZOBAIDA AKHTER Senior Research Fellow Centre for Civilisational Dialogue 2nd Floor, Siswarama Building University of Malay Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: Women’s access to education must be treated as their fundamental right. And it is only through education that they would get the chance to prepare themselves in order to play their roles in nation’s social, economic and political spheres as equal members of society. In Bangladesh, very few women can enjoy such rights and live a healthy and prestigious life. At present due to government initiatives, girl’s enrolment in primary and secondary education is little bit higher than the boys. Despite of such encouraging scenario, there is a dark side behind this. Due to prejudice, mistaken education from family and society, lack of security, dropout rate of girls is higher and their retention rate is low. Though there are facilities with free education till secondary education, lack of social motivation, mistaken education and increasing rate of violence against in different form, refrain them from education and encourage them in child marriage. Marriage is considered as the alternative to education, which ultimately leads to violence against women due to unpaid dowry. The article will analyse the issues of dowry from some case studies, which will give the indication of the real causes of dowry and how education in a real sense is lacking behind this evil.

  • The Origin and Evaluation of Ship Breaking Regime of South Asia: a Critical Perspective from Bangladesh
    The Origin and Evaluation of Ship Breaking Regime of South Asia: A Critical Perspective From Bangladesh Ishtiaque Ahmed1 Chair, Department of Law, North South University Bangladesh ———————————————— Abstract: The Hong Kong Convention was adopted in 2009 to regulate the global industry of ship recycling, but the convention remains unen- forced due to the problem of ratification by the leading ship recycling states. Due to the lopsided track record of shipbreaking in the last forty years, the ratification currently depends primarily on the policy choices of few developing nations. Given the gross unpreparedness and oversight of Pakistan towards the treaty’s timely accession with India’s recent rati- fication, and the ban of China on the import of hazardous waste, the re- sponsibility lies with the policymakers of Bangladesh to decide the fate of this influential global pact. This article attempts to track down the origin and evolution of ship recycling regime of Bangladesh, followed by a critical analysis of the salient provisions of the framework ship recycling regulations of this chief ship recycling state as adopted recently. It postulates that the drawbacks figured out may create significant obstruction or procrastination to accede to the convention by Bangladesh thereby endowing an inclusive and sustainable global ship recycling industry any time soon. The article ends with recommendations to the government of Bangladesh for necessary amendments in its framework regulations on ship recycling identified in this research. Keywords: Ship-breaking, Ship Recycling, Hong Kong Convention, End of Life Ships, Ship Breaking and Ship Recycling Rule. 1Corresponding author: [email protected]. 1 Legal Issues Journal 8(2) July 2020 I.

  • Mining Capitalism and Contentious Politics in Bangladesh
    MINING CAPITALISM AND CONTENTIOUS POLITICS IN BANGLADESH by Muhammad Omar Faruque A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Muhammad Omar Faruque 2019 MINING CAPITALISM AND CONTENTIOUS POLITICS IN BANGLADESH Muhammad Omar Faruque Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation analyses a social movement in Bangladesh fighting a potentially environmentally destructive resource extraction project as well as the country’s neoliberal energy policies. Grassroots community grievances against an open pit coalmine in Phulbari in the northwest region started small but culminated in a multi-scalar social movement, including anti-corporate mobilization against privatization of resource extraction at the national level. It also inspired a group of transnational advocacy groups to support the anti-mining movement. Drawing on critical development, social movement, and critical globalization scholarships, the dissertation analyses three distinct scales of the anti-coalmine social mobilizations: local, national, and transnational. Based on a set of qualitative interviews with local/national activists and transnational advocacy groups, I examine each of these scales through the lens of a specific theoretical approach. At the local level, drawing on scholarship on critical development studies, I consider the development of contentious political agency of grassroots communities to analyse the dynamics of the counter- movement against ‘accumulation by dispossession.’ At the national scale, I engage with critical globalization scholarship to analyse discourses of a radical social organization to challenge neoliberal development and its dominant narrative of capitalist modernity. I pay attention to the ii significance of its political rhetoric (nationalist imaginaries) to articulate a counter-hegemonic political agenda.

  • Alienation of the Lands of Indigenous Peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh
    Alienation of the Lands of Indigenous Peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh Shapan Adnan Ranajit Dastidar This book deals with the forcible takeover of the lands of the indigenous peoples of the CHT. Based on fieldwork research among both Pahari and Bengali groups, the book has four chapters, concerned with different aspects of the study. Chapter 1 introduces the research and describes how it was undertaken. Chapter 2 deals with the CHT Accord of 1997 and the failure to implement most of its important clauses in a substantive manner. It also takes account of parallel social and demographic changes in the CHT occurring outside the framework of the Accord, the results of which may be very difficult, if not impossible, to reverse. Some of these trends bypass the provisions of the Accord and could potentially make it irrelevant. Chapter 3 provides detailed analysis of the numerous mechanisms of land alienation in the CHT. The roles of different government and private agencies are analysed with empirical evidence, including sixteen case studies. Various Bengali interest groups are also found to be grabbing the lands of poor Bengali settlers, reflecting intra-ethnic and classed-based dimensions of land alienation. The growing significance of commercial land grabbing for rubber, timber and horticulture plantations, driven by profit-oriented capitalist production, is highlighted. These constitute elements of global land grabbing, indicative of ‘accumulation by dispossession’ under contemporary globalization and neoliberal capitalism. Chapter 4 undertakes policy analysis concerned with the prevention of further alienation of Pahari lands as well as the restitution of their already occupied areas.
