The Irony of Selective Democracy in Bangladesh

When the democratic parties in Bangladesh were banned, some liberals and nationalists celebrated. What did this mean? It showed that democracy was treated like a tool to be used only when convenient. When you face problems, you talk about democracy and constitutional rights, but if others are in trouble, you forget about democracy. When you face challenges, you start complaining. Today, when Indian agents in Bangladesh were strongly opposed, many liberals cried on social media, predicting the end of Bangladesh. Bangladesh will continue to exist, but its troubles began when liberal extremists punished opposition parties, executed their leaders, and jailed political activists. You ignored it then, but now you are aware. How ironic. جب بنگلہ دیش کی جمہوری پارٹیوں پر پابندی لگی تو یہاں اور وہاں کے لبرل و قام پرست خوشیوں کے شادیانے بجانے لگے...  اسکا مطلب کیا تھا ؟....  کہ آپ جمہوریت کو گھر کی لونڈی سمجھتے ہو..... تم بند گلی میں پھنس جاؤ تو جمہوریت اور آئینی حقوق یاد آجاتے ہیں.. کو...

Students' Union : a way not a destination

Once Upon a time there was a Students Union # Students_Union_today_tomorrow_And_Yesterday It’s been 35 years completed on students' union ban in Pakistan. Today if you ask a 25-year-old student about students ‘union, he will get astonished and will stare you in the face because he has never saw such a thing in his whole life. He did not know about, that there were elections to held regularly in every college and university, every year, in which students had to elect their representative, and in this way a council was formed, which had its secretory and president and other designations, and this wasn’t just a council but it was like a small government of students which has to work with the establishment of the institution i.e. Head, teachers and other staff to organize co-curricular activities for students like Poetic symposium (Mushaira مشاعرہ‎), debates, discussion forums, Bait Bazi (Urdu: بیت بازی), Qirat , Naath and sport competition. Book Fairs etc., Moreover, disti...

🌈 One desire two countries

In 80’s it was #Russia ,having a desire to reach the warm water in Baluchistan (Gwadar), #Pakistan , to extend their business by occupying the best transportation root in the region. But the plan was very poor, ....... to attack on Afghanistan,........ then occupy some part of Pakistan. As a result both Afghanistan and Pakistan fought back with them and dismissed the Russian Plan with the help of some other countries. .....and Now its #China , wanted to reach the same warm water but they come up with a perfect plan. They extended friendship with Pakistan and established a long term relationship in every sphere , from education to politics and business to energy and soon they will utilize the Gwadar warm water to conquer the world economy by constructing the world best sea port 🚢 and a network of roads across Asia ............. which is know as #CPEC (Pakistan China Economic Corridor ) I can conclude ,that war is not solution but love is a perfect solution....

The last weekend I visited one of my fast friend named Samiullah Khan . Although he is a tech guy but somehow, he love to read literature books , to nourish his mind with rich thoughts and make his life more beautiful and energetic. I saw two book next to his Pillow. One was “ Rich Dad Poor Dad ” and the other was “ Big Magic ” … in a free time in his room, while he was away. I went through some of the pages and found that the recent changes of strict financial calculation about daily expenditures are the result of the concepts presented in “Rich Dad Poor Dad”…. I think the book had taught him the lesson that how important the money is, as rich dad explain to his baby in a long conversation …. I hope I’m not wrong while commenting ….( Rock on Sami ) The 2nd book was a “Big Magic “I also turned some of the pages. I’m really inspired at first glance and did a commitment to read it, as writing was so amazing and appealing … at one point I thought that I should lend ...
