  • An Approach to the Functional Interpretation of Contemporary Bangladeshi Museums
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 64(1), 2019, pp. 1-41 AN APPROACH TO THE FUNCTIONAL INTERPRETATION OF CONTEMPORARY BANGLADESHI MUSEUMS Dilruba Sharmin* Syed Abdul Halim** Abstract This paper is an attempt to comprehend the overall situation of the museums in Bangladesh as well as the functional efficiency and to raise a call to revitalize the museums. Present research focuses on three distinct aspects: a list of different types of museums in Bangladesh, their functional interpretation and some proposals for visionary practices in museums of Bangladesh. This research found that a total 157 museums are present in Bangladesh which could be divided into 14 categories. As a prosperous country we need more efficient step to develop our museum sector as it is a bridge between the past and future of a nation. It shows thoughts and creations of the best minds of the nation and the world, and transmits the spirits to the young and inquisitive minds of children, students and youths. Failure of this transmission and exposure to the visitor will result in the extinction of the museum itself. Do the museums of Bangladesh have achieved the capability to face this truth? Are they supporting the education system effectively? Are they prepared for the demand of the future generation? The answer to all these questions will lead us to rethink and restructure our concept of museum for a better future. Key words: Museum, Revitalization, Impact, Education, Museology 1. Introduction In the twenty fist century, museums play a multidimensional role in the contemporary society. A Museum has been defined by the ICOM (International Council of Museums) as – “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of * Assistant Professor, Department of Japanese Studies, University of Dhaka.

  • Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report
    Perpetrations of 1971 – An Analysis in Light of Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report Farhana Akter Shoovra Introduction Hamoodur Rahman Commission is probably the only postwar inquiry commission authorized by the Pakistani government that inquired and submitted report on events that took place in 1971 (Helal, 54). It submitted two reports to the Pakistan government, one original in 1972 and one supplementary in 1974. For many years these reports were not published or disclosed by the authority and were subject to heavy speculations and assumptions both in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Finally they saw some light after about 25 odd years from the submission. The full disclosure and originality of the original and main report still bears a question mark (“we should never trust India’’). This has not been officially disclosed even after the announcement from Pakistani Government to declassify it partially. There have been efforts by different researchers to amalgamate various pieces of the repot into a concrete version. Then again there have been claims that the original report was either destroyed or manipulated by the authority at that time to hide their own misdeeds (“Hamoodur Rahman Commission”). The original report was also called ‘tentative’ by the Commission itself as it was subject to revision after accounting major stakeholders of the event who were in India as Prisoners of War (POW) at that time. For the purpose of this write-up we would therefore consult the supplementary report which has been formally declassified by the Pakistan government to its full extent in line with the original report’s outcome, Hamoodur Rahman Commission Supplementary Report- “HRCSR” introduction.

The trip was organised after much discussion with Mohiuddin Ahmed, of University Press Limited. There were three sides during our Liberation War-Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Books on Bangladesh and India have been published here, but there has been none on Pakistan. There is almost no information in our hands on what the policy makers of Pakistan thought in those days, or why at all they chose to go to war with a part of their country. Those who started the war have not spoken much about it during the last 30 years or so. But some of the Generals have written memoirs where our Liberation War has also been discussed.

    Running head: English Language Education Research in Bangladesh 1 English Language Education Research in Bangladesh, 1995-2013: The State of the Art by Adilur Rahaman A dissertation submitted to the Department of English, East West University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MA in ELT English Language Education Research in Bangladesh 2 East West University The Undersigned Faculty Approves the Dissertation of Adilur Rahaman (ID: 2011-3-92-002) English Language Education Research in Bangladesh, 1995-2013: The State of the Art Bijoy Lal Basu, Supervisor Associate Professor, University of Dhaka & Adjunct Faculty, East West University English Language Education Research in Bangladesh 3 Copyright 2014, Adilur Rahaman English Language Education Research in Bangladesh 4 ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to offer a symptomatic reading of 326 journal articles produced in the field of ELE from 1995 to 2013 in Bangladesh. In the first reading of symptomatic reading, I tried to discover presences/absences or sightings/oversights of the ELE research establishment of Bangladesh. In the second reading, I tried to detect the problematic/unconscious of the journal articles. Precisely, the first reading reveals that ELE research in Bangladesh revolves around technical-mechanical issues—which signifies the presence of reification in the field. The second reading indicates that the unconscious/problematic of the ELE research establishment of Bangladesh is positive, eurocentric, and dehumanized. In addition, research activities of Bangladesh are not immune to professional fallacies and mechanical reproduction. In short, ELE research establishment of Bangladesh is suffering from—what I have termed—creative impotency. In this study, I have proposed a South Asian Paradigm which can democratize and humanize ELE research.
