I wrote this essay as an inquiry into the "empty chair" of leadership in Bangladesh—a space once defined by the quiet, uncorrupted resolve of Ziaur Rahman. Today, as his son Tarique Rahman returns from seventeen years in exile, that chair is no longer a metaphor. It is a reality

Welcome to India @SergioGor. Maybe you can talk with your Indian interlocutors about the damage their keyboard warriors are doing to India’s image in the region and beyond. Bangladesh is a good example, where the Indian media and establishment have poisoned bilateral ties.
There is nothing called South Asia [in SCA]; it is Indian Subcontinent. Why is this Serio Gor guy sitting in Delhi? He should be sitting in the centre of the region being referred. If he wants to sit on a fringe, why not Islamabad?

A verdict rooted in evidence, not emotion. A region moving toward cooperation, not division. As India and Bangladesh reset their relationship, The Print’s analysis cuts through noise and disinformation to explain why the Hasina trial marked a turning point for justice.

As the interim government winds down its historic tenure, I remain patiently—almost reverently—awaiting the United States’ formal takeover of St. Martin’s Island. After all, BAL leadership assured us this was imminent. Strategic. Practically done. Just a matter of time. So I

Hadi wanted elections. He believed in the electoral process. He believed in democracy. He was running for election in Dhaka-8. He believed in the slow, painstaking process of building a new Bangladesh and knew there could be no short-cuts. We Cannot Let Osman Hadi's Killers Win

so the land wasn’t in her name? I am confused 😁
I have always been clear that I haven't done anything wrong & I am grateful to the Labour Party for not recognising today's verdict in Bangladesh. 👇 Watch my full response to today's trial here 👇

People making AI videos and images of Khaleda Zia being sick (or any sick people for that matter) deserve a special place in hell....

A UK member of parliament being sentenced to two years in jail in another country, surely this is a first?

Sources have confirmed that sounds of dishes breaking have been heard repeatedly from an undisclosed location in Delhi.
বেগম খালেদা জিয়ার স্বাস্থ্যের বিষয়ে জেনে গভীরভাবে উদ্বিগ্ন বোধ করছি। দীর্ঘ অনেক বছর ধরে তিনি বাংলাদেশের জনজীবনে অবদান রেখেছেন। তাঁর দ্রুত আরোগ্যলাভের জন্য আমাদের আন্তরিক প্রার্থনা ও শুভকামনা রইল। আমরা যেভাবে পারি, আমাদের পক্ষ থেকে সম্ভাব্য সকল ধরণের সহায়তা প্রদানের জন্য ভারত

I am sure it would be much appreciated by Begum Zia and all Bangladeshis if India would send back Hasina and all the other fugitives enjoying their safehaven in India.
Deeply concerned to learn about the health of Begum Khaleda Zia, who has contributed to Bangladesh’s public life for many years. Our sincere prayers and best wishes for her speedy recovery. India stands ready to extend all possible support, in whatever way we can.

She's doing okay for now. The biggest positive is that she is alert, has her sense about her, and is successfully intaking liquids. That’s a win for today! ❤️

🛑 NATIONAL EMERGENCY: Our Jobs are Disappearing! The billions pouring into AI and Robotics in the Middle East—our biggest source of remittances—is a direct, immediate threat to every family relying on foreign income. The era of relying on minimum-skilled jobs overseas is ending.

This is the follow-up op-ed to the short nursing video I released a few days ago – but this time, I go deep. In the video, I sketched the big picture: 👉 Turning nursing into one of Bangladesh’s next multi-billion-dollar export industries. In this op-ed, I lay out the blueprint.

Just imagine how tough this woman is. The Awamis may have been able to deform her body by denying her medical care, but they cannot destroy her spirit. She could have easily compromised but she didn't, she could have easily abandoned us but she didn't. https://t.co/6G4M1CxL7I

@brattyibo Muslim rulers weren’t the only ones. Here for example: Pushyamitra Shunga (c. 185–c. 149 BCE): The founder of the Shunga dynasty is frequently cited in Buddhist texts (such as the Divyavadana and Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa) as a major persecutor of Buddhists. He is alleged to have
