Which way is pluralistic democracy headed?

We have known democratic pluralism, pluralistic democracy and multi-party system to be synonymous terminologies. But is it as simplistic as that? Conceptually and ideally, it is; but in practice and real-world situations, it may not be so!

Change of style or substance?

With at least 27 new faces and only a few septuagenarians around, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was greeted on her re-election to a record fourth term at Gono Bhaban on Tuesday.
10 January 2019, 18:00 PM

Sheikh Hasina's fourth term

It is the huge gaps in the numbers of votes polled by the winners and the losers in the 11th national election that apparently unveiled a “controlled and patterned” nature of the process of polls.

Wintry mist from a non-level playing field!

If almost every past election in Bangladesh had been a test case for democracy, the one the nation is going to in two days' time is a veritable litmus test for the country's democratic future.

Do Trump's numbers add up?

Donald Trump's crazy Turkish dance of a saga continues. He has not just got his steps wrong, his numbers too are flying in the face of his pet theories and projects.

Narendra Modi and his newfound power

After Modi's landslide victory in the trend-setting states of India, three straight gains have been garnered by BJP as the party in power and Narendra Modi as the country's prime minister.

Putin in a new light

Predictably, what might be going through Putin's mind is restoring Russia's image from the dishonour it suffered through the Afghan debacle. Thus, in atonement for failure in Afghanistan, Russia is acting tough in the Middle East.

Special relations - A moving feast!

Britain's special relations with the US may have come under stress; exactly the opposite of what British Prime Minister Theresa May had intended by embarking on a visit to the US last month.
23 February 2017, 18:00 PM

Heavyweight punch by a perceived lightweight!

Playing against India on its home ground, where they had inflicted series defeats on New Zealand and England, was like pushing a
16 February 2017, 18:00 PM

Take a pick on check and balance, Mr. Trump!

Nothing seems to be going right for the Trump presidency ever since its inaugural on January, 20. "Peaceful transfer of power" was mechanical; street protests watering down the solemnity of the occasion.

What's next on the Rohingya issue?

Fake news epidemic: Inoculation possible

Hillary Clinton has issued a call to action against the “epidemic” of fake news in a rare public appearance since her unexpected loss to
15 December 2016, 18:00 PM

The far-right's rising tide

The psychology of the “other” creates and nurtures distance, and consequently sustains mistrust. While technology has bridged physical distances, in filling the vast void in psychological spaces, communication is our best bet.

17 November 2016, 18:00 PM
