  • A Loss on Victory Day
    Submit your contest entry in the space below: A Loss On Victory Day Based on a true story In March of 1971, after years of oppression under West Pakistan, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) declared its independence. West Pakistan retaliated with infamous brutality, killing not only hundreds of thousands of freedom fighters but up to three million innocent civilians. Despite the brutality, Bangladesh persisted, and on December 16th, 1971 the country earned its freedom. Dhaka, December 16th, 1971: After months of darkness, the world had finally shone its light on Hala’s city. She hardly knew what freedom meant, but she knew it had been earned today through victory. Victory—that’s what the grownups cheered throughout the streets. The streets that had finally woken up after months of sullen slumber. Hala had left the house all by herself, against her baba’s wishes. “You mustn't go out alone today. It’s not a place for a little girl.” But I’m not alone, she thought. Today, the whole city was her friend. Baba wouldn’t understand, though. Baba never understands. And anyways, Baba would never know she disobeyed him. He was napping, and Hala would be back well before he woke up and took notice of her absence. Baba never noticed anything, but Hala didn’t mind. More fun for her —and more trouble— and that’s how she liked it. Hala picked the beli flowers that lined the front of her neighbor’s lawn. They smelt soft and sweet and reminded Hala of her mother. She coiled a few in her short, thick curls, forming a halo with the white petals.

  • An Analysis of Online Discursive Battle of Shahbag Protest 2013 in Bangladesh
    SEXISM IN ‘ONLINE WAR’: AN ANALYSIS OF ONLINE DISCURSIVE BATTLE OF SHAHBAG PROTEST 2013 IN BANGLADESH By Nasrin Khandoker Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Elissa Helms Budapest, Hungary 2014 CEU eTD Collection I Abstract This research is about the discursive battle between radical Bengali nationalists and the Islamist supporters of accused and convicted war criminals in Bangladesh where the gendered issues are used as weapons. In Bangladesh, the online discursive frontier emerged from 2005 as a continuing battle extending from the 1971 Liberation War when the punishment of war criminals and war rapists became one of the central issues of political and public discourse. This online community emerged with debate about identity contest between the Bengali nationalist ‘pro-Liberation War’ and the ‘Islamist’ supporters of the accused war criminals. These online discourses created the background of Shahbag protest 2013 demanding the capital punishment of one convicted criminal and at the time of the protest, the online community played a significant role in that protest. In this research as a past participant of Shahbag protest, I examined this online discourse and there gendered and masculine expression. To do that I problematized the idea of Bengali and/or Muslim women which is related to the identity contest. I examined that, to protest the misogynist propaganda of Islamist fundamentalists in Bangladesh, feminists and women’s organizations are aligning themselves with Bengali nationalism and thus cannot be critical about the gendered notions of nationalism. I therefore, tried to make a feminist scholarly attempt to be critical of the misogynist and gendered notion of both the Islamists and Bengali nationalists to contribute not only a critical examination of masculine nationalist rhetoric, but will also to problematize that developmentalist feminist approach.

    73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly Address by Sheikh Hasina Hon ble Prime Minister Government of the People s Republic of Bangladesh The United Nations New York 27 September 2018 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Madam President, As-Salamu Alaikum and good evening. Let me congratulate you on your election as the fourth female President of the UN General Assembly during its 73 years history. I assure you of my delegation’s full support in upholding your commitment to the UN. I also felicitate Mr. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General for his firm and courageous leadership in promoting global peace, security and sustainable development.

Forty-four years ago, my father, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman stood on this podium and said, / quote, Peace is an imperative for the survival of humanity. It represents the deepest aspirations of men and women throughout the world... The United Nations remains as the centre of hope for the future of the people in this world of sadness, misery and conflict.

  • Bengali Identities in Post-1947 Bangla Stories
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 5, Ver. III (May. 2014), PP 24-30 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Inventing the New, Re-defining the Old: Bengali Identities in post-1947 Bangla Stories Debosmita Paul Ph.D. Research Scholar, Jamia Millia Islamia, India Abstract: A study of the history of the Bengal region proves the fact that it is a record of creation and re-creation of several identities. These identities had constantly divided and united the people residing within the region. Class, language and region have been the major factors which have conceptualized these identities. However, the Partition of 1947 had rendered its people with identities which were communal in nature and superseded all other identities which had existed in Bengal, so far. Post-1947, the two parts of Bengal, i.e. West Bengal in India and East Pakistan in the newly created Pakistan either re-defined their earlier identities or invented new identities. The present paper attempts to trace these identities through available historical accounts and also studies them through the Bengali short stories which deal with the Partition of 1947 and Partition of 1971. The ultimate objective is to conclude that the continually redefined identities and the new invented identities have resisted the formation of identities on the basis of religion. The paper has four sections. The Introduction proposes the aim of the paper and discusses the other works done in the area in brief. The second and the third sections, titled ‘Redefining the Old…’ and ‘Inventing the New…’, trace the various Bengali identities which have existed in the region through historical accounts and by analyzing the Bengali short stories based on the Bengal Partitions of 1947 and 1971.

  • Islam, Politics and Secularism in Bangladesh: Contesting the Dominant Narratives
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Review Islam, Politics and Secularism in Bangladesh: Contesting the Dominant Narratives Md Nazrul Islam 1 and Md Saidul Islam 2,* ID 1 Department of Political Studies, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh; [email protected] 2 Division of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University, 14 Nanyang Drive, Singapore 637332, Singapore * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +65-6592-1519 Received: 9 December 2017; Accepted: 27 February 2018; Published: 3 March 2018 Abstract: Since late 2000s, the political landscape in Bangladesh moved from democracy to an authoritarian kleptocracy, and experienced a new set of political and social narratives. This paper aims to contest some of these dominant/official narratives which have been discursively constructed and promoted by the secularist parties (including the ruling regime) and groups in Bangladesh over recent years. Examining the sociopolitical and historical facts and figures of the country, we have identified five major contested narratives related to (a) Bengali nationalism in East Pakistan, (b) foundational ideology of Bangladesh’s war of liberation, (c) state-sponsored Islamization in Bangladesh, (d) pro-liberation and anti-liberation dichotomy, and (e) war crimes trial. Drawing on a robust content analysis of the credible secondary sources substantiated by qualitative interviews, we have examined these dominant narratives and found that they are not supported by historical evidence and popular mandate, yet have been constructed largely to support and legitimize the current authoritarian regime. The paper offers both counter-narratives and some pragmatic policy recommendations to elude increasing polarization and sociopolitical instability and foster a peaceful democratic society in Bangladesh.

  • The Struggle This Time Is the Struggle for Our Emancipation. the Struggle This Time Is the Struggle for Our Independence. 'Joy
    The struggle this time is the struggle for our emancipation. The struggle this time is the struggle for our independence. ‘Joy Bangla’ 50 years ago today, these final words in the momentous oration by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, already at that time honorifically referred to as “Bangabandhu” (The Father of the Nation),thundered out to a crowd of over one million supporters jammed into the Ramna Race Course in Dhaka. Having struggled in the political and cultural realms for recognition of the integrity of Bengali culture, language and history for decades before, and at that moment being the presumptive Prime Minister of the whole of Pakistan, having decisively won the general election of December 1970,Bangabandhu cemented the justification for his title by this uplifting and empowering speech that set the course for the struggle for liberation and independence for the country that he had already dreamed of and had proposed to be called Bangladesh. The speech was made in the midst of political turmoil and uncertainty, as the West Pakistan government postponed again and again the formation of the newly elected National Assembly, meanwhile pouring troops and arms into East Pakistan. In response, on the 1stof March Bangabandhu declared a province-wide general strike and program of non-cooperation for the following six days until he would announce his program to deal with the political crisis and chart the way forward. And so over one million people poured into and around the race course in the centre of Dhaka. Journalists and technicians from the Dhaka Centre of Radio Pakistan, the Department of Films and Publicationsandthe East PakistanGramophone Company were setting up their equipment.
