  • Obituary Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq
    Obituary Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq (1923-2018) It is difficult for one to write an obituary of a person who had been one's teacher, colleague, friend, philosopher and guide. The person was no other than the celebrated gentleman physicist Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq commonly known as A.K.M.Siddiq who had an eventful long life and had witnessed many developments in Physics in the Curzon Hall starting from the golden days of S. N. Bose of whom he was a student. Prof Siddiq produced dozens of very successful physicists who have been highly placed in different stations in Academic and Administrative Fields. And he always tried to be in touch with them as far as possible. My interactions with Prof Siddiq have been in several fields: as a student, as a colleague and finally as a family friend. I first met him in the mid 60's when I registered myself for Physics Studies in the Dhaka University (1956-1960). I still remember the day when Dr Siddiq entered our class for the first time as a young smart teacher on return from Saskachuan University, Canada where he obtained his Ph.D in Nuclear Physics. We learnt later that his first appointment in life was not as a university lecturer but as an officer first in the Patent Office in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and then after the partition of India in1947 in the Patent Office in Karachi in Pakistan. He did not relish this job as his heart and mind had always been craving for research and teaching.

  • Students, Space, and the State in East Pakistan/Bangladesh 1952-1990
    1 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 A dissertation presented by Samantha M. R. Christiansen to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts September, 2012 2 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 by Samantha M. R. Christiansen ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate School of Northeastern University September, 2012 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of East Pakistan/Bangladesh’s student movements in the postcolonial period. The principal argument is that the major student mobilizations of Dhaka University are evidence of an active student engagement with shared symbols and rituals across time and that the campus space itself has served as the linchpin of this movement culture. The category of “student” developed into a distinct political class that was deeply tied to a concept of local place in the campus; however, the idea of “student” as a collective identity also provided a means of ideological engagement with a globally imagined community of “students.” Thus, this manuscript examines the case study of student mobilizations at Dhaka University in various geographic scales, demonstrating the levels of local, national and global as complementary and interdependent components of social movement culture. The project contributes to understandings of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s political and social history in the united and divided period, as well as provides a platform for analyzing the historical relationship between social movements and geography that is informative to a wide range of disciplines.

    1 The Masjid-i Jami of Herat, the city's first congregational mosque, was built on the site of two smaller Zoroastrian fire temples that were destroyed by earthquake and fire. A mosque construction was started by the Ghurid ruler Ghiyas ad-Din Ghori in 1200 (597 AH), and, after his death, the building was continued by his brother and successor Muhammad of Ghor. In 1221, Genghis Khan conquered the province, and along with much of Herat, the small building fell into ruin. It wasn't until after 1245, under Shams al-Din Kart that any rebuilding programs were undertaken, and construction on the mosque was not started until 1306. However, a devastating earthquake in 1364 left the building almost completely destroyed, although some attempt was made to rebuild it. After 1397, the Timurid rulers redirected Herat's growth towards the northern part of the city. This suburbanization and the building of a new congregational mosque in Gawhar Shad's Musalla marked the end of the Masjid Jami's patronage by a monarchy. 2 This mosque was constructed in 1888 and was the first mosque in any Australian capital city. It has four minarets which were built in 1903 for 150 pounds by local cameleers with some help from Islamic sponsors from Melbourne. Its founding members lie in the quiet part of the South West corner of the city. 3 The Cyprus Turkish Islamic Community of Victoria was established in Richmond, Clifton Hill, and was then relocated to Ballarat Road, Sunshine in 1985 The Sunshine Mosque is the biggest Mosque in Victoria, and has extended its services to cater for ladies, elderly and youth groups.

  • Ecological Diversity of Flora and Fauna at Curzon Hall, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh
    ISSN 2349-7823 International Journal of Recent Research in Life Sciences (IJRRLS) Vol. 2, Issue 1, pp: (36-40), Month: January - March 2015, Available at: www.paperpublications.org Ecological Diversity of Flora and Fauna at Curzon Hall, University Of Dhaka, Bangladesh Sadniman Rahman Dept. of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Abstract: The diversity of local flora and fauna at the Curzon Hall premises, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh was studied from April 2nd, 2014 to January 10th, 2015. A total of 98 species of flora and fauna were found during the study. The study was done to observe the condition of the biodiversity and also to conserve them. Keyword: Ecology, diversity, local flora, fauna, Curzon Hall. 1. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh having an area of 1,47,570 sq km, among them arable land 67%, forest and woodland 16%[1] and harvours about 650 species of birds (Siddiqui et al, 2008) or a total of 628 species[2]. Although a total of 718 species under 64 families was reported by Khan (2010). Among them 41 were threatened [3]. This is undoubtedly an extraordinary situation that such a great variety exists in overpopulated (more than 800 people/km2) country with a very limited range of habitats. But it’s a matter of sorrow that there was no conservation awareness of this wealth. Bangladesh in general possesses luxuriant vegetation. Bangladesh has four different areas of vegetation. The eastern zone, consisting of parts of the Sylhet and Chittagong areas. The central zone, covering parts of the country to the north of Dhaka. The southern zone along the Bay of Bengal contains the vast wetlands of the Sunder bans with their distinctive mangrove vegetation [4].
