THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice. -

Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 26(1): 117–126, 2019 (June) © 2019 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists ETHNOMEDICINAL USES OF PLANTS BY SANTAL TRIBAL PEOPLES AT NAWABGANJ UPAZILA OF DINAJPUR DISTRICT, BANGLADESH MOST. ROJUBA KHATUN AND A.H.M. MAHBUBUR RAHMAN* Plant Taxonomy Laboratory, Department of Botany, Faculty of Life and Earth Sciences, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi-6205, Bangladesh Keywords: Medicinal plants; Traditional knowledge; Nawabganj; Dinajpur; Bangladesh. Abstract Ethnobotanical investigation on traditional medicinal plants used by Santal tribal people of Nawabganj upazila of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh was documented. Frequent field trips were made during January to December 2018 to record ethnobotanical data by interviewing Santals of various age group, mostly ranging between 20-76 years, including the traditional healers. A total of 105 plant species under 97 genera belonging to 57 families were recorded which are used by the Santals for the treatment of 67 ailments. Out of these plant species 44% belonged to herbs, 28% trees, 18% shrubs, 10% climbers. In herbal formulations, leaves were found to be mostly used (29%) followed by roots (12%), fruits (12%), whole plant (10%), seeds (9%), barks (9%), stems (5%), flowers (4%), latex (2%), rhizomes (2%), petioles (2%), gums (2%), bulbs (1%), tubers (1%), pods (1%) and buds (1%). The Santal medicinal wealth have been presented with scientific name, family, Bangla name, Santal name, part(s) used, ailments to be treated and formulations. This study also provides data on diversity, distribution and habitats for conservation and prioritization of the medicinal plants. Introduction The use of plants and animals as source of medicine and food is as old as humanity. -
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. -

Saiful Islam Monitoring & Documentation Fact findings and Investigation Acknowledgments States are the most responsible authorities to protect the rights of citizens with the help of law enforcement agencies so that people can enjoy their rights. The government is the legitimate custodian and savior of the civil rights of all its citizens. According to social scientists, when a state fails to ensure the protection of human rights of its citizens, it is considered as failed state. The United Nations possesses the authority to monitor the actions of member States for the protection and promotion of human rights around the globe. Bangladesh, as a member of the United Nations and signatory to a large number of international human rights treaties and conventions, has an obligation to ensure the rights of its people. Moreover, a number of universally declared human rights have been guaranteed in Part-III of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
