When he stood up against the hujurs and asked us to support him I felt so much hope...like a light at the end of the tunnel, that something will actually be done about Touhidi Jonota and the unregulated Qawmi Madrasas but now he left the country. I almost want to feel angry but I cant. He was constantly getting death threat phone calls. His facebook page was hacked. Jubayer Tashrif who previously instigated a mob against Dipu Chandra Das and got him killed called a mob against him. They made heinous lies about him SAing the principal's wife and stealing money. The police were searching for him to arrest him when he did nothing wrong. He is a father, he has to be there for his child, we can't expect to throw his life away for a cause. It was too much to bear and came too fast. I just don't know if there is any hope for this country anymore...

For an educated person, just one hour is enough to learn how to perform the Janaza (funeral) prayer. Yet, even after spending 30+ years in a madrasa, a person fails to become educated (in modern, contemporary education or intellectually self-sufficient).

সরকার বছরের পর বছর এইসব ইগনোর করে যাবে এবং এই মব গ্রুপ ও ধর্ম শিকারী রা একের পর এক দৃষ্টান্ত স্থাপন করে যাবে। এটাই নতুন বন্দোবস্ত।

In other countries, two consenting adults (18+) can stay at a hotel without much hassle. On the other hand, in Bangladesh, it’s hard to imagine being able to check into a hotel without facing numerous questions or being asked to provide various documents at the reception. Sometimes, the police even raid hotels.

Have you ever seen police in other countries randomly raid hotels when there is no suspected criminal activity or reason to believe that a criminal is hiding there?

Problems❕

Local Card Restriction: বাংলাদেশের সাধারণ Local Debit বা Credit Card দিয়ে সরাসরি International Merchant, Google Play বা Foreign Website-এ পেমেন্ট করা যায় না।

Passport & Endorsement Dependency: Banks থেকে Dual Currency Endorsement বা Dollar Endorsement করতে বাধ্যতামূলক Passport লাগে, যা সবার থাকে না বা Process-টা বেশ ঝামেলার।

High Maintenance & Hidden Fees: Bank Dual Currency Cardগুলোতে Transaction না করলেও Yearly Maintenance Charge, Annual Fee বা NID/Passport Verification Fee কাটতে থাকে।

Virtual Card Funding Risk: RedotPay-এর মতো Virtual Card ব্যবহার করতে গেলে Binance বা P2P-এর মাধ্যমে Dollar Load করতে হয়, যেখানে Trusted Seller না পেলে Scammed হওয়ার একটা Risk থেকে যায়।

Questions to the System ❓

Financial Inclusion & Global Reach: দেশের Local Debit বা Credit Cardগুলোর ক্ষেত্রে সরাসরি International Transaction বা Foreign Currency Support বন্ধ রাখা হয়েছে কেন, যেখানে বর্তমান বিশ্বে ক্যাশলেস ও গ্লোবাল ট্রানজেকশন সবচেয়ে সাধারণ একটি বিষয়? Paypal এর মতো কোনো সহজ অপশন কেনো নেই?

Passport Dependency: একটি সাধারণ অনলাইন পারচেজ বা Google Play-র ছোটখাটো সাবস্ক্রিপশনের জন্যও কেন বাধ্যতামূলকভাবে Passport দিয়ে Dollar Endorse করার মতো জটিল প্রক্রিয়ার মধ্য দিয়ে যেতে হবে?

High Maintenance Costs: কোনো প্রকার বড় ধরনের ব্যবহার বা সার্ভিস ছাড়াই ব্যাংক কার্ডের ওপর এত বেশি Yearly Maintenance Fee বা Hidden Charge আরোপ করার যৌক্তিকতা কোথায়?

Crypto & P2P Reliance: কোনো সহজ ও বৈধ অফিশিয়াল গেটওয়ে বা Virtual Payment System না থাকায় ফ্রিল্যান্সার বা সাধারণ ইউজারদের কেন বাধ্য হয়ে Binance বা ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ P2P-এর ওপর নির্ভর করতে হচ্ছে?

একটা জিনিস চিন্তা করে দেখলাম, হুজুররা আসলে সবকিছুই সাপোর্ট করে, শুধু একটা জিনিস বাদে। সেটা হলো কনসেন্ট বা সম্মতি।

একটা ছেলে মেয়ে সম্মতির মাধ্যমে একে অন্যকে চুমু খেলে হুজুরদের জ্বলে। তারজন্য তারা মৃত্যুদন্ডও জায়েজ মনে করে। অথচ কনসেন্ট ছাড়া চুমুতে তাদের সমস্যা নাই। এটাকে তারা আনন্দের সাথেই নেয় এবং অপরাধ মনে করেনা।

সমকামিতা হুজুররা ঘৃণা করে কারণ এতে কনসেন্ট থাকে। দুইজন ব্যক্তি সম্মতির সাথে এই কাজ করতে পারবে না। অথচ সম্মতি ছাড়া ঠিক একই কাজ অর্থাৎ বলাৎকার হুজুররা প্রতিনিয়ত করছে। তখন তাদের প্রবলেম নাই।

দেখবেন কোনো প্রাপ্তবয়ষ্ক বা অপ্রাপ্তবয়স্ক মেয়ে যখন প্রেম করে তখন হুজুররা খুব ক্ষেপে যায়। কারণ এতে কনসেন্ট থাকে। অথচ সেই মেয়েকেই জোর করে বিয়ে দিলে হুজুররা খুশি হয়। কারণ এখানে কনসেন্ট থাকে না।

একইভাবে দেখবেন দুইজন নারী পুরুষ কনসেন্ট সহকারে সেক্স করলে হুজুররা খুবই মাইন্ড করে, শরীয়া আইনে শাস্তি চায়, অথচ কোনো মেয়ে রে*প হলে হুজুররা পোষাকের দোহাই দিয়ে, রাতে একা বের হওয়ার কথা বলে, কিংবা মেয়ের ছেলেবন্ধু থাকে কেন, চরিত্রে সমস্যা, এরকম নানাবিধ যুক্তি দিয়ে ব্যাপারটাকে জাস্টিফাই করার ট্রাই করে।

অর্থাৎ সমস্যা চুমু, সেক্স, প্রেম, কিংবা গে'তে না। সমস্যা শুধুমাত্র কনসেন্টে!

Before anyone accuses me of jealousy,being a typical nerd or stuck up, I want to clear that I do help people during exams. But there's a really fine line between asking someone for a little help and constantly nagging.

I take exams seriously so I usually study alot the day before. I'm someone that easily gets distracted and sometimes my anxiety makes me forget the silliest stuff. Right now,I'm giving a really important exam but I'm stuck sitting beside a person that doesn't study a thing. To make matters worse,its my friend. I've known this person for just three weeks though and I had no idea about this habit. But I don't know how to tell this person to quit nagging me without souding rude. This person once called me "bhalo student howar natok kore" All because I'm really quite during classes. Ngl I'm a bit offended at this and her being the person who is annoying me in the exam hall is a bit funny.

Anyways, I've given two exams by now and each day she'd whisper loudly for answers,touch my hand to get my attention or write a little note during exams to get answers. These scare me shitless cause the guard is very strict. Idk what to do. This is my first time ever sitting beside someone this desperate during exams. Not to mention,these two exams were relatively easy and who knows what she'll do when the tougher subjects come up.

How do I approach this matter? How to tell her to quit this behavior without souding like a snob?

I've tried looking for them on Daraz but they seem to be very expensive. Are there cheaper options?

Two powerful slogans hold deep significance for Bangladesh and its people: “Joy Bangla” and “Nara-e-Takbir — Allahu Akbar.” Sadly, dirty partisan politics has increasingly attached political identities to both, overshadowing their deeper historical and religious significance.

1. Joy Bangla — A Symbol of Liberation and Patriotism 🇧🇩

“Joy Bangla” is deeply rooted in the history of Bangladesh’s Liberation War of 1971. It was a powerful slogan of freedom, courage, national identity, and the struggle for independence. However, its close association with the Awami League has led many people to perceive it as merely a party slogan.

Today, someone saying “Joy Bangla” may be labelled an Awami League supporter, even if they simply wish to express their love for Bangladesh and respect for its liberation history.

But Bangladesh’s independence does not belong to any single political party, and neither should its history be confined to one.

1. Nara-e-Takbir — Allahu Akbar: A Declaration of Faith ☝️

“Nara-e-Takbir — Allahu Akbar” carries profound religious significance for Muslims. “Allahu Akbar” means “Allah is the Greatest.” It expresses our faith, our recognition of Allah’s supreme greatness, and our devotion to Him.

Yet, partisan politics has increasingly associated this religious expression with Jamaat-e-Islami. As a result, someone proclaiming “Allahu Akbar” may be immediately labelled a Jamaat supporter, even when they are simply expressing their Islamic faith.

But “Allahu Akbar” is not the exclusive slogan of any political party. It is a fundamental expression of faith for Muslims around the world.

So, where is the problem?

The problem lies not in these slogans, but in the politics that attempts to claim ownership of them.

A Bangladeshi Muslim can love their country, honour the sacrifices of the Liberation War, and remain devoted to Islam. Patriotism and faith are not mutually exclusive.

Political parties will rise and fall, but Bangladesh’s history will remain, and faith cannot be confined to party politics.

Let “Joy Bangla” represent our history of liberation and patriotism, and let “Nara-e-Takbir — Allahu Akbar” remain an expression of our faith—not political labels used to divide us.

🇧🇩 Joy Bangla!

☝️ Nara-e-Takbir — Allahu Akbar!

Do you think national and religious slogans should belong to the people rather than political parties? I'd love to hear your perspectives, even if you disagree with me.

অতীতের ভূত এফএম (Bhoot FM) কিংবা বর্তমানের ভূত ডট কম (bhoot.com), কাহিনীর প্যাটার্ন কিন্তু মোটামুটি একই থাকে। ভিলেন অশরীরী বা জ্বীন এর হাত থেকে বাঁচাতে হিরো হুজুর এর আবির্ভাব ঘটে, এবং শেষমেশ Hujur Saves the day। মাদ্রাসার ধর্মব্যবসায়ী হুজুরদের অতিরিক্ত মাথায় তুলে রাখতে পুরো একটা প্রজন্মকে কনভিন্স করতে এই ভূত এফএম এর বিশাল অবদান ছিলো, যেটা এখনো ভূত ডট কম এ চলমান। আর ধর্মান্ধ উন্মাদ হুজুরদের অতি আস্ফালন তো এখন দেখতেই পারছেন। মাদ্রাসা নিয়ে বহু ভৌতিক কাহিনী ওই প্রোগ্রামে শুনেছি, কিন্তু মাদ্রাসার বড় হুজুর বাচ্চাদের সাথে কি করে সেইসব নিয়ে সে তো কোনোদিন একটা কথাও বলে নাই, উল্টো সেইসব বড় হুজুরদের হিরো হিসেবে দেখানো হয়েছে সবসময়।

ছোটবেলায় যখন নেশার মতো এই ভূত এফএম শুনতাম তখন হুজুরদের আমি মোটামুটি দেবতুল্য পর্যায়ে বসিয়েছিলাম।

আমার মতে এই প্রোগ্রাম এবং এই টাইপের যত ভৌতিক প্রোগ্রাম আছে সব আইন করে বন্ধ করে দেওয়া উচিত এবং এদেরকে ধরে জেলে ঢোকানো উচিত। আপনাদের মতামত কি?

It feels like my parents, the initial spark they may have had for each other when they settled into an arranged marriage is not only long gone, it feels like it wasn't there since I was born. Just these two people, existing like roommates completely indifferent to each other. Maybe some kind of a bond through dependence but nothing close to what one would define as love. And they've lived their 30 years married like this. So many south asians go through their whole lives this way. I almost feel indebted to break this cycle just for the sake of future south asians, to let future generations know this cannot be the norm. Do you feel like your parents are in a similar situation?

Why are Bangladeshi girls and women so conservative about clothing that they avoid wearing sleeveless and backless blouses?

Those who got full fund in public health subject, what amount of professors you have mailed to?

What's the time duration?

I'm in final year (medical background), I have two research paper under journal review,as a co author. soon to be published(hope so). And working on another two, as first co-author.

The point is, I dont wanna do extra masters. I wanny apply for fall 2029. So, I have to apply from 2028. I have two years left. What type of preparation should I take to utilize full of two years, so that I may get the full on phd fund and all things. Should I take prep for GRE for the extra boost my profile?

Guidance indeed🤲

I have acne and scars on my both cheek .. my doc has suggested to do subcision with TCA cross.. it will be helpful and budget friendly than other expensive treatments.. can it remove my scars? I am so insecure of my scars.if anyone has done it or done other treatments,plz do share ..
Note : i am a student .my budget is tight

are there any man who is single by choice? because they want to save themselves and their hearts for their future wives? guys who haven't held a woman's hand yet or touched another woman by choice and they expect their spouse to be the same? any guy who despises the idea of having more than one partner and is disgusted by the thought of cheating and polygamy? guys who dont just preach religion to control or dominate others but practice it themselves because they actually truly fear god? do these men even exist in this generation or does it sound impossible?

im not trying to shame anyone, or act like a saint lol. just curious and well a little disappointed too maybe? every single guy around me is only single because he cant get a girl or has no wooing skills but there are a lot of girls around me who are single by choice. for women the ideal love life is being with one green flag man for their whole lives...well not all ofc but generally yes. but generally speaking, most young people look at being 'single' as a failure, both men and women like they have all these fantasies about dating but marriage makes them scrunch up their noses. as a woman tho, i do understand and know how most women think or what priorities they have, is it the same for men too?

just wanna know how young bangladeshi men of this generation think. feel free to share whatever opinions and views you personally have.
