Amar sonar bangla, ami tomay bhalobashi. #Bangladesh. #freedom.

Nice try

Seeing @bdbnp78 trying to shift the discussion in Bangladesh back to 1971 suggests a degree of desperation. Taking a page out of the @albd1971 playbook is unlikely to appeal to younger voters who are more concerned about Bangladesh’s future than its past.

Clearly Hasina and her family are worried she will overstay her welcome in India. New Delhi is certain to grow weary of sheltering Hasina and her henchmen. It is hard to see how any government in Bangladesh can normalize relations with India as long as it shelters Hasina.

Kudos to @ZafarSobhan for speaking truth to power. “If Tarique wishes to be prime minister and lead this nation, as his mother and father did before him, then a time comes when he needs to step up and stand up, and show the nation that he too is made of the stuff of leaders.”

If I were you, this would be what I was focused on.

The Bangladesh Navy and other armed forces have extensive experience in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief, including that gained during training and real world interaction with U.S. counterparts. It is heartening to see them come to the aid of those in Sri Lanka now in

“If the crimes and violations of the last sixteen years are once again left to fade into silence, the nation may not get another opportunity to heal. Justice delayed is justice denied—and the delay has already been far too long. A National Task Force for Truth and Healing is

There’s always a post.

Putin is new God for the Hindutva Gang in India! After Trump ditched Modi, India’s Hindu supremacists have started worshipping Putin. These morons are turning India to a laughingstock!

Who else would like to see public debates between the leaders of Bangladesh’s political parties in advance of the February elections? Maybe some civil society groups and media could make this happen.

Maybe @elonmusk can fix this? $tsla

Since until recently few have given @BJI_Official any realistic chance of winning the February elections and forming Bangladesh's next government, the party has largely avoided scrutiny of its detailed policy proposals and likely Cabinet selections. With polls now showing that

As a sign of their growing unease, some BNP supporters are already trying to lay the groundwork for an argument that Bangladesh's elections are going to be rigged. For this reason, it is critically important that the elections be watched by a robust network of domestic and

I've got a suggestion for all those in India who are debating whether or not Hasina can be extradited. Why don't you simply drive her to the nearest border point and deport her back to Bangladesh? Same holds true for all the other fugitives enjoying their safe haven in India.

History is full of examples of the perils of overconfidence. Kudos to @asifbinali91 for this provocative warning to the @bdbnp78. "BNP would be making a serious mistake if it assumes that civil society, various power centres, or ordinary citizens will support it forever

Some personal news: I’ve joined the @AtlanticCouncil as Senior Fellow for South Asia. I’ll be leading all of the Council’s activities on the region. I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to build on the Council’s rich legacy of work on South Asia.

While everyone is free to draw their own conclusions from the @IRIglobal survey, to me there are a few big takeaways. First, the election is shaping up to be much more competitive than many have assumed. As such, the ultimate selection of candidates and the content of
