Last Wednesday, the horrific image and news report of a drowned man and his daughter trying to cross into the United Sates through the Rio Grande, US-Mexico border , had drawn global attention. A number of Western media agencies instantly became busy, giving it a top news lead. Indeed, the image of the Salvadoran father ...

Oh! Those simple people around us

Shahriar Feroze

These days, I have become too absorbed with prominent personalities, politicians and overwhelming sensational news events at home and abroad. There is barely any time left to think about the people around me and how profoundly I am depended on them, so when my servant boy Nizam had suddenly asked for an impromptu leave for ...

Grasp the Quran to attain Taqwa

Shahriar Feroze

There are four individual ayahs in the Quran's second chapter, Sura Al--Bakara that mentions of Ramadan, fasting and the revelation of the holy book. Fascinatingly, three of the ayahs generally focus on the nature of fasting, its timeframe and do's and don'ts--which are 183, 184 and 187--but its ayah 185 which clearly adds an extra ...

A Ramadan of quality over quantity

Shahriar Feroze

One of the most common mistakes that occur in a pop-cultured understanding of Islam is that Muslims are widely focused entirely on quantity of their deeds, and not quality. How many people are attending? How large was the event? How many Rakat's of salah have been prayed? How much has been spent in charity? And ...

A murky birthday hard to ignore

Shahriar Feroze

Today is the birth anniversary of the loftiest of tyrants in the history of mankind. The civilised world largely paints him as the most repulsive creature ever to have existed. The bone-chilling vocabularies such as The Holocaust, concentration camp, gas chamber and the supposed Aryan race are complemented with incalculable loss and damage of properties ...

Penning pains and panics only to be read with pleasure...

Shahriar Feroze

Asafuddowlah is a renaissance man in this country. A talented, singer, a gifted civil servant and only as of late, I came to realise that he was also a capable writer. And when my friend Takir had handed me his Of Pains and Panics, expecting a sensible review of the book, I was unable to ...

PM's straight and subtle messages to India

Shahriar Feroze

The fact that Bangladesh was increasingly getting focused to remodel its diplomatic priorities became clearer last year--when the prime minister officially declared "India not need to worry about Dhaka's growing ties with China--asserting that the cooperation with Beijing was meant only for the country's development". The same message was redelivered last week when the newly ...

Is this the beginning of the end for BNP?

Shahriar Feroze

Nowadays it appears it is. Sensibly speaking, there isn't a leader to steer the once biggest opposition political party in Bangladesh. Begum Zia is in prison while her son is in exile. Bulk of the senior leaders had left the party long ago. Despite its disgraceful defeat in the recent general elections, the party still ...

Can her restored leadership re-define BD politics?

Shahriar Feroze

Not that I had been a big fan of Awami League or Sheikh Hasina in the past. In fact, I was never a political element on any count. However, only this time I am taking the political developments of my country with extraordinary alacrity. I had voted for the AL since there was no dependable ...

11th JS Poll Results

Writings between joy and grief!

Shahriar Feroze

By now the entire world has become well informed about the outcome of the 11th JS polls or national parliamentary elections held in Bangladesh, last year. May sound to have happened a year ago, but in fact the final results came out barely 72 hours ago. Yes, the ruling party Awami League secured a third ...
