  • A Second Coming: the Specular and the Spectacular 50 Years On1
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 10/2020, pp. 31-58 © Südasien- Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-346-2 A Second Coming: The Specular and the Spectacular 50 Years On1 NUSRAT SABINA CHOWDHURY [email protected] KEYWORDS: BIRTH, DEATH, MIMESIS, MONUMENTALITY, POLITICAL AESTHETICS, BANGLADESH 31 The clocks were ticking away, the countdown had begun. Digital clocks high and bright enough for maximum visibility hung from office buildings, schools, and shops. Dhaka was one of twelve city corporations spread over fifty districts where they had been installed since early 2020. The clocks would go on until 17 March, the birth centennial of jatir pita, "The Father of the Nation", Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. They stopped at the precise mom- ent when all values—day, hour, minute, and second—turned zero. There it was, the moment of origin; of Mujib, for sure, but also of Bangladesh. A birth foretold, as it were. Birth (and death, too, as we shall see) has been a powerful motif in politics in Bangladesh in the second decade of the twenty-first century. Chronologies collided in felicitous ways; the country geared up for unforeseen pomp and circumstance. Bangabandhu (Friend of Bengal), an epithet once popularly mandated and decades later officially dictated, was the centre of the celebrations in a polity inching towards another significant temporal marker—the fiftieth year of its independence. 2020 was (officially) Mujib Borsho, the Mujib Year; 2021 marked the historic half century of Bangladesh that still considered itself young around its bigger, older, venerable neighbours. With international guests invited, shows, concerts, FOCUS and fireworks scheduled, and Mujib’s return to the newly liberated country re-staged in real time, the anniversary was to be a no-holds-barred performance.

IqbalHasan Lecturer, Political Science under Department of Law Sheikh FazilatunnesaMujib University Jamalpur, Mymensingh Bangladesh Corresponding Author: Md. IqbalHasan ABSTRACT: ―The Rohingya refugees from northern Rakhine State in Myanmar are living in a precarious situation in their country of asylum, Bangladesh, but have seen significant improvements in recent times." The Rohingya people are one of the most tormented and oppressed refugee groups in the world. The Rohingyacrisis breed from the military junta's extensive violations of human rights in Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine. The Rohingyas are stateless and they fled to Bangladesh and other neighboring countries to take refuge. Long term negotiation has failed to solute the Rohingya refugee crisis. In this year more than 500,000 Rohingyas slip away from Myanmar to surrounding countries. This article talks to the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh, with special emphasis on violation of human rights. I check out several documents on Rohingya refugees, look over a registered refugee camp accumulate case reports, and driven a series of meetings with stakeholders in the Cox‘s Bazar district of Bangladesh. A total of 33,131 registered Rohingya refugees are living in two registered camps in Cox‘s Bazar, and up to 80,000 additional refugees are housed in nearby makeshift camps.

  • LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By
    LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By Rayeed Mohammad Yusuff 11108022 Seminar II ARC 512 Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University Fall 2015 LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM | 2 ABSTRACT The year of 1971 is the most significant year in the lives of the Bangladeshis. Our liberation war of 1971 is an event which marks the existence of Bangladesh. It was a war fought by the people and these valiant men and women helped us gain this country. However, in the process of gaining independence, several lives were lost, many girls and women raped and numerous people had to be displaced. The heinous Pakistanis did not hesitate once to kill the innocent people of Bangladesh. It has been almost 44 years since this war was fought and unfortunately, many people are slowly forgetting the importance of this war and the real story behind it. I believe that the people who had been present during the war and have actively participated in it are the ones who can give us the most accurate information about our Liberation War. During this long span of time, we are slowly losing most of them and we urgently need to preserve their experiences and information for the future generation. Chittagong, being a historic site during the Liberation War of 1971, does not have a Liberation War Museum of a large magnitude compared to Dhaka. Chittagong not only contributed during the Liberation War but also played a major role before it. Hence, an attempt was made to design a Liberation War Museum in Batali Hill, Chittagong.

  • Evaluating the Phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect of Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka Sabrina Rahman, Soniha Nuzrat, Ashrafun Nahar Liza, Nawrin Mahmud
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 10, October-2018 1657 ISSN 2229-5518 Evaluating the Phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect of Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka Sabrina Rahman, Soniha Nuzrat, Ashrafun Nahar liza, Nawrin Mahmud Abstract— Dhaka City, like other large cities, is warmer than surrounding areas due to the urban heat island effect, which is defined as an increase in urban air temperature as compared to surrounding suburban and rural temperature. The development of a heat island has regional-scale impacts on energy demand, air quality, and public health. Artificial urban land uses such as public open spaces, commercial and residential buildings, roads, and parking lots covered by impervious surfaces can contribute to the formation of urban heat islands (UHIs). Considering the increasing paved area with little vegetation cover in Dhaka, Bangladesh, this study evaluated the phenomenon for UHI effect of Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka. The recent scenario after the construction of Liberation War Monument project will be evaluated through an observational study. With the help of Metrological department of Bangladesh, a comparative observational study will be evaluated with the previous scenario before construction of the project. This study will help us to observe the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island effect in a public open space. Index Terms— Dhaka Public space, Impervious surface, Public open space, Temperature, Urban Heat Island, UHI effect of Suhrawardy Udyan. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION he term “urban heat islands” refers to the observed tempe- An urban heat island is created when naturally vegetated T rature difference between urban environments and the surfaces – e.g., grass and trees – are replaced with non- surrounding rural areas.

  • Bangabandhu and Evolution of Bangladesh
    769 International Journal of Progressive Sciences and Technologies (IJPSAT) ISSN: 2509-0119. © 2021 International Journals of Sciences and High Technologies http://ijpsat.ijsht-journals.org Vol. 25 No. 2 March 2021, pp. 78-89 Bangabandhu and Evolution of Bangladesh Kazi Ismat Jahan Suvra Lecturer, Department of Economics, Sheikh Hasina University, Netrokona, Bangladesh. Abstract – This paper aims to discuss the charismatic, strong, dedicated and visionary leadership quality of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Descriptive qualitative research techniques carried out in this study. The paper shows that Bangabandhu was the real architect of Bangladesh, as he played a significant role in the entire liberation journey, which started in 1952 with the language revolution and proceeded through the democratic movement of 1962, the Six-Point Program of 1966, the Popular Movement of 1969, the enviable success of the election of 1970, and, most significantly, the Liberation War of 1971. The paper also presents haw Bangabandhu had become the unique leader of people and an inseparable part of our history. Keywords – Bangabandhu, charismatic, evolution, liberation war, language movement, six point. I. INTRODUCTION Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (1920-1975) was the founder and Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, and he was called the greatest Bengali of all time. Within a day, Bangladesh was not established. In the unfulfilled dream of the ancient heroes of Bengal who brought it to their graves, it has persisted for centuries as an idea and an ideal (MacDermot, 1973). Bangabandhu, who inherited this inheritance, developed the idea into a deep and abiding love and gave it structure in the form of Bangladesh's map, which he etched on his heart.
