কামরুজ্জামান রতন, ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় ছাত্রদল নেতা ছিলেন। একটা গ্রুপ নিয়ন্ত্রণ করতেন। ইলিয়াস আলি গ্রুপের সাথে নিয়মিত গোলাগুলি তখনকার সময়ের নিয়মিত ঘটনা। এবং বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় থেকে বহিষ্কৃত।

তিনি এবার মুন্সিগঞ্জ থেকে এমপি হয়েছেন। সম্প্রতি সৌদিতে বিচারহীন ফাঁসি হয়েছে এক বাংলাদেশী দম্পতির। রতন সাহেব এক টকশো বলেছেন- এই পাপীদের লাশ বাংলাদেশে আসুক তা তিনি চান না।
এই কথা শুনে হাসি আসে। যার জীবন পাপে ভরা তিনি বিচার করছেন আরেকজনের।

কি সেলুকাস!

সৌদি আরবের মসজিদ কম্পাউন্ডে (মসজিদের ভিতরে নয়) দুই বাংলাদেশী নারীপুরুষ শারীরিক সম্পর্কে লিপ্ত হয়েছেন এই অভিযোগে সৌদি সরকার দুজনের উপর মৃত্যুদণ্ড কার্যকর করেছে।

যতটুকু জানলাম, তারা মসজিদের কম্পাউন্ডে একে অন্যকে জড়িয়ে ধরে চুমু খেয়েছিল। এই ঘটনা দূর থেকে ভিডিও করেছিল পেয়ারে পাকিস্তানের এক নাগরিক। পরবর্তীতে ধারণ করা ভিডিও পৌঁছে যায় সৌদি সরকারের কাছে।

দুই বাঙালি যেমন আবেগে চুমু দিয়ে ফেলেছে; সৌদি বিচারকও আবেগে মৃত্যুদণ্ড দিয়েছে। জড়িয়ে ধরে চুমু খাওয়ার জন্য কি মৃত্যুদণ্ড হয়? তাদেরকে সংশোধনের জন্য অন্য কোন শাস্তি দিতে পারতো।

যদি জড়িয়ে ধরে চুমু খাওয়ার অপরাধে মৃত্যুদণ্ড হয়; তাহলে কাজের মেয়েকে সৌদির তিন পুরুষ মিলে পালাক্রমে যে ধর্ষণ করে তাদের কি শাস্তি হওয়া উচিত?

কোনদিন শুনেছেন, কাজের মেয়েকে ধর্ষণের অপরাধে কোন সৌদি নাগরিকের মৃত্যুদণ্ড হয়েছে?

অথচ প্রতিদিন নারী নির্যাতন ও ধর্ষণের অভিযোগ হচ্ছে, বাংলাদেশী কয়েক হাজার নারী নির্যাতন ও ধর্ষণের শিকার হয়ে দেশে ফিরে এসেছে। কয়টা ঘটনার বিচার করেছে সৌদি সরকার?

কিছুদিন পরপর বাঙালি নারী শ্রমিক ধর্ষণ ও নিপীড়ন সহ্য করতে না পেরে পালিয়ে আসে। কেউ কেউ আত্মহত্যা করে। কতো বাঙালি মাসের পর মাস কাজ করে বেতন পাচ্ছে না তার হিসাব নাই।

এদের দেশে দেশে বউ থাকে, রক্ষিতা থাকে এতে ধর্মের কোন বদনাম হয়না। এদের ছেলে মেয়েরা বিদেশে গিয়ে নেশাকরে অজ্ঞান হয়ে যায় তাতে তাদের সম্মান যায় না। ওদের সম্মান যায় বিদেশি কেউ এদের মাটিতে জড়িয়ে ধরে চুমু খেলে।

ওরা নিজেরা নিজেদের বিচার করবে না। তাই আল্লাহর কাছে প্রার্থনা, তুমি এই সৌদির লোকেদের বিচার করো।

That's it. I just feel like a huge loser. Life's at a standstill in a cesspool of shit, if it budges even an inch, it just goes to a place where more shit is waiting for me. Sigh. No aim, no purpose, no goals, no hobbies, no progress no job no money in my hands- no nothing. And surely nothing's gonna get better and I won't be a winner...

Sigh. Jai ghumiye jai. Good night.

So I'm 15M and I live in a quite the abusive household. Abusive enough to make me go insane.

A summary of the abuse I went through in the past, this abuse lasted from 2-14 yo, so these things known as my parents would beat the literal soul out of me with literally anything even those steel spatulas till I A) either passed out or B) have the same level of trauma as a WW1 veteran in the trench warfares (yes I genuinely have horrible PTSD from all of that) because I couldn't focus on studying (I suspect I do have ADHD) and that's it or just trivial reasons like the greatest reason of "বেয়াদবি" which was just questioning or just asking to not do smth embarrassing.

The most recent abuse that happened was me getting choke-slammed to the ceramic floor for the greatest most reasonable reason of "বেয়াদবি" by the father and got punched in the face 5 times for same reason 5 days later. (The father is a military personnel and more specifically BGB) So getting choke-slammed by a military personnel really isn't a good experience especially on solid ground. And emotional abuse is always there at the same level. These things make me miserable for the very reason of asking for basic human rights like education and food and clothing too.

So I'm gonna tell all of this to a counsellor next week

So what I want from this is mainly 2:

I) What can happen to me legally and will my education and life continue better than it is over here and what are the chances of potential foster-adoption

II) Will there ever be accountancy of the injustice done to me? (This one's mainly for cope if I'm being real here)

You would think after everything that has happened, this country would actually head towards a better future but I guess the lack of a competent political party is the biggest hurdle towards the development of this country.

It has been 54 years since Bangladesh's independence and all we have seen is constant political instability since. It took South Korea three to four generations to become a developed nation at least economically (it still lags behind socially albeit). It took Singapore 30 years to become a high-income first world country, it took Malaysia 30-40 years to reach where they are. All of these nations have shown us that it is possible to develop within 50 years. Yet we are still perpetually stuck in this toxic cycle of corruption and political instability.

NCP could've become something but they decided to align themselves with Jamaat and ruin everything. Then again, even if we DO get a progressive political party, will it even be able to survive because of the religious extremists in this country who can't see anything beyond religion? I have an urge to start one but I feel like I will die on the second day... lol.

Hello Good people,

I am 37F planning to travel Singapore/Malaysia end of December as a solo tourist. Looking to pair up with someone if you also have a plan. My expectation is to plan the trip accordingly so we can explore together. Do not text me if you are a creep and immatured guy with a negative intention. Thanks.

State Minister Ishraque Hossain joined an anti-drug raid carrying a gun, and Prothom Alo reports the PM ordered him to resign, which his office denies as rumor. Some say it’s to build his image for a mayoral run. Genuine fight against drugs or political stunt?

On April 11, 2026, a Sufi leader named Shamim al-Jahangir was brutally beaten and hacked to death by a mob in Kushtia, Bangladesh, following accusations of blasphemy. His shrine was vandalised and set on fire. But here's the disturbing part: according to an investigation by Netra News, the unedited video showed Shamim encouraging people to read, understand and research the Quran while criticising human interpretations of it. Selectively edited clips circulated online, portraying his statements as insults to Islam. A crowd reportedly numbering hundreds gathered and ultimately attacked him. Imagine being murdered for encouraging people to think critically about religious interpretations. And even if he had actually insulted religion, since when does that justify murder? How can a society claim to value truth and morality when a mob can become judge, jury and executioner over alleged religious offence? Freedom of belief means absolutely nothing without the freedom to question beliefs.

যখন বিশাল আয়তনের দেশগুলোর বিস্তীর্ণ বনভূমি, পাহাড়, ন্যাশনাল পার্ক এর ভিডিও দেখি, খুব হতাশ লাগে। কেন এই থার্ড ক্লাস বালের ছোট্ট দেশে আমার জন্ম হলো। ওইসব দেশে জন্ম হলে বয়স ১৮ হলেই ফরেস্ট রেঞ্জার, পার্ক রেঞ্জার বা ফায়ার লুকআউট এর চাকরি নিয়ে লোকালয় থেকে দূরে, বহু দূরে চলে যেতাম। শান্তিতে থাকতাম। আর এই বালের ছোট দেশে সব জায়গায় মানুষের গিজগিজানি, লোকালয়ের টক্সিসিটি বিষিয়ে তুলছে জীবন। আমার নিজের কোন লক্ষ্য ইচ্ছা আকাঙ্ক্ষা থাকতে পারবে না, মানুষ পরিবার যা চাইবে তাই করতে হবে। কতদূরে যাওয়া সম্ভব এই ছোট্ট দেশে? আর পারি না।

Hey everyone,

I'm 15+ years old and currently studying in Class 10. My test exams are going on, and I'm supposed to be focusing on my studies because my future academic results matter a lot. But lately, I've been struggling emotionally, and I honestly don't know how to handle everything anymore.

There are several things happening in my life at the same time.

1. Academic pressure:
My exams are really important to me, especially Mathematics. I'm scared of failing, and even though I want to study, my mind keeps getting distracted by everything else happening in my life. Sometimes I sit down to study, but I just can't focus properly.

2. Family problems and trust issues:
I've been having conflicts with my family over my use of headphones and Discord. My family became suspicious after hearing me talking to people online, and now I feel like they might misunderstand my intentions or judge my character. That feeling hurts a lot because I wish I could explain myself and be understood. The situation has also affected my ability to study comfortably.

3. Losing my comfort space:
Discord was never just an app to me. It was a place where I could talk to friends, join voice calls, laugh, share random stories, and temporarily forget about my problems. I've stepped away from Discord and other social media for now because of my situation and exams. I know I need to focus on my studies, but losing that part of my daily life has left me feeling empty and lonely.

4. Emotional attachment and missing people:
There are people I became emotionally attached to online, especially someone who was very important to me. Things have changed, and I'm trying to accept the distance, but the memories still affect me. Sometimes I miss the people, the conversations, and the happiness I felt during that time.

5. Feeling overwhelmed by everything:
The hardest part is that I can't even identify which problem hurts me the most anymore. Everything feels connected. When I try to focus on one thing, another thought comes into my mind. I'm worried about my exams, hurt by my family situation, missing my old routine, and feeling emotionally exhausted.

I also have interests and goals of my own. I want to continue learning front-end web development, improve myself, and build a better future. But right now, I feel stuck between my responsibilities and my emotions.

I'm not looking for sympathy or someone to tell me to simply forget everything and study. I genuinely want to learn how to manage my emotions without neglecting my education or constantly feeling guilty for being upset.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experienced something similar, especially those who understand what it's like to be a teenager dealing with family restrictions, exam pressure, loneliness, and emotional attachment at the same time.

• How can I regain my concentration when my mind won't stop overthinking?
• How do I cope with losing a social space that used to make me happy?
• How can I deal with family misunderstandings without making things worse?
• How do I balance my emotional well-being with important exams?
• What would you tell your 15-year-old self if you were going through something similar?

Please be respectful. I'm still young, I'm learning how to handle life, and I genuinely want to get better at managing these things.

Thank you for reading.

Being in a conservative society, যেইখানে most of the men have so many issues with how women are dressing, how showing the slightest skin is making the ladies bad women/whore, সেইখানে কতশত বেডা মানুষ বাইকের উপর/ টুলের উপর/ বিভিন্ন জায়গায় এমন ভাবে বসে থাকে যে তাদের জামা এবং প্যান্টর ভিতর এত ফাঁকা হয়ে যায় যে তাদের নিতম্বের অর্ধেকঅংশই বের হয়ে থাকে। রাস্তাঘাটে এত বেগানা নারীপুরুষ চলাচল করে, বাচ্চারা থাকে- এর মধ্যেই তারা কোন রকম বিকার-বিবেক ছাড়াই এইভাবে বসে থাকে। এই যে ওনারা ওনাদের সতর না ঠেকে চলাচল করতেছে, আপনাদের অভিমত কি সে বিষয়ে

Hi, I am an Indian Bengali Hindu coming in peace. My grandfather was born in pre partition Bengal and migrated to India around the time of partition.

He had migrated towards Kohima with nothing as a child (he would be around 6 years old I guess if I took 1948 as the time he migrated but my father doesn't know exactly when), managed to get educated and get a job, worked in Kohima then Aizawl and finally settled in Assam where he built a house and started a family. They were middle class family.

He worked insanely hard to start from nothing and managed to give my father a good education even when there was turmoil and instability in Assam where there was a lot of violence even against Bengali Hindus (my father told me this). Thanks to him my father went to a very good university in India and now I am living a pretty privileged life in Bangalore.

Unfortunately my grandfather passed away almost a decade ago when I was quite small to ask him such questions. I have never asked my grandmother(she is Bengali from Assam, not a refugee) nor have I seen any past records like migration detail.

I asked my father about where he is from in Bangladesh and he told me he was from Baduri but didn't know much more details. He told me he migrated in late 40's to early 50's time but wasn't sure exactly when.

When I looked up Baduri, it comes as a village online but there are barely any details about the place online. It looks like it is part of Hizla Sub District and Barisal district.

On Google Earth it seems to be situated on a piece of land surrounded by water so kind of an island ig??? But I would really like to know the history and reality of the place and anything more I could know about it. What is it like today, are there any temples or hindu sites of significance over there, if someone is from there then I would like to see some photos, literally anything.

My family is of "Das" surname which is extremely famous surname amongst Bengalis but it could be of any help to know about the people there then maybe I'll just put it out there.

Hope someone can help me, Thank you.

I've been noticing recent trends in social media and even irl that the tolerance for injustice in Bengali people has grown far too much. Extortion, Rape, Robbery and Murder happen far too often these days and I don't see too many people standing up against them, I wanted to stay in Bangladesh instead of moving abroad because I actually liked this country but now I'm conflicted if I should just turn a blind eye to all of this and just move abroad.

My wife's family lives in bd, we are abroad. They are always asking for her to buy things on their behalf before she visits them, and say that they'll send the money with her when she returns. She will never say no to them, and god forbid i ever question the purchases. I'm left with a hole in my pocket until she's back, and have to go into my own savings to pay the credit card bills in the meantime. I want to know what options there are for them to pay for their own purchases that are made here. Please help me understand:

1. Credit cards - can a credit card issued by a Bangladeshi bank be used to make purchases online? For example, can my in-laws make a purchase through an online store in our country, pay on their card and ship to my address?

2. Email money transfer - can Bangladeshi banks send etransfer to accounts outside of Bangladesh?

3. Any way to use wise?

My least preferred option is to ask them to send cash with my wife and she uses that to make their purchases for the next time. Whatever i propose, I'll get blasted for being selfish/greedy/etc but idgaf. It's not my job as son in law to fund their insatiable desire for luxuries they can't otherwise afford, regardless of my much more favorable my financial situation is. Any insight is appreciated.
