A moderate country
While living outside of Bangladesh, I miss my country very much and am very proud of it.
 
Sartorial freedom
This is in reference to Kaniz Fatema's letter "Sartorial freedom," (Dec 22).
 
Victory of BJP or communalism?
Asghar Ali Engineer's "Victory of BJP or communalism?" (Dec 22) is an article for the sake of an article. It has no head, no tail, and hangs on some improvised concept of pseudo-secularism.
 
Wayward Zionists
Israel, an outpost of the US in the Middle East is the fruit of the Balfour declaration of 1917. From the very beginning it was unyielding to international laws. It has grabbed the vast area of Palestine.
 
Education in a democracy
There are many divisions in the existing education system in Bangladesh.
 
What is wrong with Bangladesh?
As an expatriate, I read the online newspapers of Bangladesh such as The Daily Star to keep in touch with what's going on in the old country.
 
Drama within drama?
Two poor women, Noor Jahan and Hasina Banu, unveiled the fact that they did not faint due to starvation during Hasina's public visit to monga affected Nilphamari.
 
When will our politicians grow up?
This was my feeling when I read about the summing up (of our politicians) by the World Bank Resident Director, Dr Christine Wallich.
 
Fareed Zakaria's column
As if we did not have enough of the US-controlled media bombarding us round the clock from multiple press and TV channels, does The Daily Star now also have to become a mouthpiece for biased Americanviews?
 
Experts say Pakistan may have aided Iran
Tactically, Pakistan is trying to make its scientists scapegoats. By doing so it thinks it can escape the nuclear fiasco and blame it on the greed of "rogue" individuals.
 
DS report on PM's visit to DU
DS has grossly violated their neutrality in reporting once again and has shown clear and biased inclination to a particular political party in their report (Dec 23) on the PM's visit to Dhaka Univarsity
 
Alarming news
A news item published in The Daily Star (Dec 22) drew my attention. The news was about a private zoo of Mr Sitesh Babu of Srimongal, Moulavibazar, and the report was a very alarming one.
 
Politics with people's misery
Your article, "Politics with people's misery" (Dec 20) attracted my attention. It seems that the leader of the opposition has lied in public with the malefide intention of breeding hatred of the government.
 
The "alternative stream"
Dr B Chowdhury is at least trying to start a campaign which, if carried out properly, would be a big improvement in our political culture.
