NO STRINGS ATTACHED

Aasha Mehreen Amin is joint editor at The Daily Star.

Music teacher

Opinion / Without song, the soul is a desert

To argue that music causes moral decay is not only baseless—it’s dangerous.

Domestic violence killing women in Bangladesh

Domestic violence in Bangladesh: When numbers speak of the silence

When we are informed that 133 women have been killed by their husbands in seven months, it is no longer just a number.

faraaz.jpg

Faraaz’s message of embracing humanity

If his life had not been so cruelly cut short, Faraaz Ayaz Hossain would have been a young man just waiting to enter his 30s. Would he, like his brother Zaraif, be working in his grandfather’s business alongside his mother Simeen Rahman, the current CEO of Transcom Group, who has had to live these nine years with the worst burden any parent could carry?

rising misogyny in Bangladesh

Opinion / The interim government’s silence over misogyny is tragic

There is chaos and dissent in every corner and no one seems to have a grip on anything.

Reaction / Nusraat Faria’s arrest sends an ominous message to the people

This arrest is particularly jarring, even in this current environment where arbitrary murder cases are being filed against suspected AL sympathisers or beneficiaries.

Why are young men becoming so violent?.jpg

Opinion / Why are young men becoming so violent?

There is a staggering lack of empathy, respect, and compassion in our society, which has seeped into many of our young people.

AL's strategy of intimidation may no longer be working

So far, whatever the ruling party has been doing is going in favour of the BNP.

How women's secondary status encourages violence

The value of a female is largely determined by what she can offer to her family and society

News Analysis: An exam question to ignite bigotry

The bizarre and clearly communally inspired section in this year’s HSC Bangla question paper is a dangerous occurrence that could easily have been overlooked had it not been doing the rounds on social media.

The unbearable smugness of AI

My phone thinks it knows me better than I know myself – how preposterous! Or is it?

University of BCL

The BCL has demonstrated that their “power” lies in their licence to beat up anyone they want, anytime they want – academic decorum be damned.

Dipu Moni

Education minister’s comments against bigotry are commendable

It is not always that we see a politician making comments that criticise misogyny and bigotry.

The Narsingdi incident was a hate crime against a woman, plain and simple

How is it that we live in a society where a woman must endure humiliating attacks from another woman and her male cohorts in a public place for the clothes she chooses to wear?

price hike

Price hike: Don’t worry, be happy – no matter what

If things are bad, there must be a good reason for it.

Who is entitled to 'hurt religious sentiments'?

Apparently, only the majoritarian population experience hurt sentiments – minority communities have no sentiments to be hurt.

Youth Violence: The definition of ‘boro bhai’ needs to change

Could our grossly unequal society be to blame?

How late can a Late Lateef be?

For most guests of honour at seminars, inaugurations or book launches, if they are VIPs, being on time is unthinkable. The norm is to arrive at least an hour later than the stipulated time, while the other guests and participants huff and puff with exasperation and then speak well over the allotted time.

faraaz

Faraaz’s message to the world

Stumbling across a post on the meaning of “Faraaz”, I was taken aback by the qualities attributed to this name – “someone full of love”, one who “creates balance and harmony for anyone lucky enough to be called his friend”.

fan-ananta-jalil.jpg

Why I’m a fan of Ananta Jalil

But not because of the logic-defying stunts in AJ's latest movie venture, Din: The Day. It's because of Ananta Jalil, the human being.

goons-out-evm-booths.jpg

How do we get the goons out of the EVM booths?

The recent eruption of political activity, and hence political news centred on city corporation elections has again livened up the dull, drab political stage of recent times.

Prices of machetes, bamboo and iron rods to go up?

It may seem like an odd assortment of items to be afflicted by the inflationary fever currently in circulation, but following the basic rules of economics—when demand goes up, with existing supply, prices will go up in a free market

Besides the PK Halder saga

Food prices have been keeping us awake at night, making some of us seriously rethink our diets.

Being a non-VIP at Dhaka airport is no fun

The adviser to the prime minister on private industry and investment, Salman F Rahman, recently expressed his dissatisfaction about the way our airport in Dhaka has been handling passengers, referring to allegations of staff members taking bribes and harassing them.
12 May 2022, 18:00 PM
law-enforcement-bangladesh.jpg

Who will speak for the George Floyds of Bangladesh?

In the US, being Black or just a person of colour is enough to get one killed or arrested by a cop, merely for being at the wrong place at the wrong time—or even the right place at the right time.
