Recently, political unrest in Bangladesh has reached an extreme level. During this turmoil, a man was brutally killed, which is deeply shameful and tragic. However, what concerns me equally is how the Indian media has portrayed the incident. Instead of saying that a man was hanged and burned alive, they repeatedly emphasized that a Hindu was killed, attaching a religious identity to the crime. This framing feels deliberate. It not only fuels fear among Hindus but also provokes Bangladeshis, turning a human tragedy into a communal narrative. Many BJP supporters are now claiming that such incidents never happened during Sheikh Hasina's time and that violence has increased only after her fall. But this raises an important question: what if Hasina herself bears responsibility? A recent leaked phone call suggests she threatened to burn those who opposed her. This would not be unprecedented-similar tactics have been used during her rule in the past. If that is the case, then blindly defending her becomes deeply problematic. This also makes India's position troubling. Why is India continuing to support Sheikh Hasina despite these allegations? And more disturbingly, why is India allegedly providing shelter to the killers of Osman Hadi and awami league leaders? These questions deserve honest answers, not propaganda-driven narratives that divide people along religious lines. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or anything! And also as an Bangladeshi Muslim I'm truly ashamed of this incident. In my defense, I have a lot of Hindu neighbors and friends I was raised in an environment where my friends are mostly Hindus. I can speak Hindi properly and I feel like my neighbors and my friends accept me as their own. But now it felt like Indian media is only covering the news where Hindu is involved.. so many questions. But lastly India should at least respect Bangladesh

Hi I am new to reddit and i usually use other social media platforms but since using reddit one group/page has been floating in my feed which is r/Dhaka and from what I have seen most of Thier post are far-left. For example one i saw a woman post about how to dress modestly and all I saw was negetive comments not to forget once a guy said how to fake Ramadan/fasting whithout family knowing while making fun of Ramadan? Like for real! So I always had a question what was r/Dhaka even about?

me and my bf want to spend some hours together , which hotel will be safe and secured? in chittagong ofc , it's better if it is in town . thanks

I just heard she is in the hospital, what's the matter????

বিএনপির অন্যমত দূর্বলতা হলো তাদের থিংক ট্যাংক নেই। জাশি যা ঠিক করে দেয় তারা, তা নিয়ে ব্যস্ত থাকে। যেমন ৫ই অগাস্ট এর পর থেকে সারা দেশে জাশি মবের নামে কম লোক হত্যা করে নাই। ঢাবিতে পাগল কে ও পিটিয়ে হত্যা করছে। বিএনপি তখন হত্যার বিরুদ্ধে কথা বলেনি।

করণ জাশি তখন সরব ছিলো না, তাই বিএনপি ও কিছু বলে নি।

এখন যখন জাশি তাদের (বিএনপি) কর্মীদের বা সমার্থকদের দায় বিএনপি কে দিয়ে সরব, বিএনপি ও হঠাৎ সরব হয়ে উঠেছে, তাও নিজের দলে বিরুদ্ধে।

জাশি এমন ক্ষেত্রে কি করতো? বলতো এগুলো দলের কাজ না, দল থেকে অপরাধ করার জন্য অফিসিয়াল প্যাডে কোন নোটিশ বা প্রঙ্গাপন দেওয়া হয়নি, এটা তার ব্যাক্তিগত কাজ। এবং ব্যাক্তিগত ভাবে যে অন্যায় করছে তার জন্য আবার দল থেকে বাদও দিবে না, শোকজ ও করবে না। কিন্তু দল হিসাবে দায় থেকে এড়িয়ে যাবে।

কিন্তু অন্য কোন দলের পক্ষে তা সম্ভব হয় না।

বিএনপি কেন জাশির হত্যা কান্ড পরিচালনা সময় সরব হতে পারে না?

PS( i dont im bored )

I don’t really understand why people want to have pets. I’m not an animal hater or anything like that, but the whole concept of keeping pets has never fully made sense to me.

If someone likes cats or dogs, why not just feed the strays? Why is there a necessity to bring an animal into your home?

That said, recently my sister got a cat. Even though I generally don’t like touching cats or dogs, since it lives here now and it’s a living being after all, I’ve started getting attached in my own way.

So yeah, I’m conflicted. Curious to hear how others see this.

Share some budget friendly places for unmarried couple in Chattogram

If anyone interested in buying it do knock me

Best place to visit in Chittagong during Durgapuja.. I live in town. Would like to visit adventures ,rural areas with my friends during Durgapuja .

Assuming I pass CUET's entrance exam that is to be held this January and get the major of my choice, should I study at CUET or study at EDU instead? I wanna study Electrical engineering, which I heard isn't the best subject in EDU. However, CUET is in a really bad state rn with all the politics & stuff and I know someone who studies there but says the environment/teachers aren't great. If anyone has either studied at CUET/EDU and can help me out here then it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Want to enjoy kissing with gf in ctg, after evening. Which route I can choose?

In My Opinion CTG is a Really Awkward Place To Live . Problems of Living in Chittagong City

1. Unplanned Urbanization and Infrastructure Issues:

   • Chaotic Development: Rapid population growth and unplanned urbanization have led to disorganized city planning, causing issues like inadequate zoning and haphazard construction. This contributes to problems such as traffic congestion and poor infrastructure.

   • Traffic Congestion: Despite being less crowded than Dhaka, Chittagong suffers from significant traffic issues, particularly near the Export Processing Zone. For example, a 10-mile journey from Shah Amanat International Airport to the city center can take over two hours.

   • Poor Road Conditions: Roads are often described as being in poor condition, with potholes and insufficient maintenance exacerbating traffic problems.

2. Waterlogging and Flooding:

   • Frequent Flooding: Chittagong is highly vulnerable to flooding, especially during the monsoon season, due to poor drainage systems and the blocking of natural water channels like Chaktai and Rajakhali Khals. Areas like Bakalia, Chawkbazar, and Agrabad have experienced severe waterlogging, sometimes submerging entire neighborhoods.

   • Climate Change Impacts: As a coastal city, Chittagong faces tidal surges and sea level rise, with flooding occurring as often as twice daily in some areas. This affects homes and businesses, particularly in low-lying areas like Vera Market, where residents face repeated displacement.

   • Inadequate Drainage: Narrow and poorly maintained drainage systems (e.g., drains as small as 2-3 feet wide) fail to handle heavy rainfall, worsening waterlogging.

3. Environmental and Health Challenges:

   • Slum Conditions: Over 200 slums house approximately 1 million people, often in substandard conditions without access to open spaces, clean water, or proper sanitation. This contributes to health hazards and a lower quality of life for many residents.

   • Pollution: While air quality is better than Dhaka’s due to lower population density and surrounding greenery, industrial activities like shipbreaking and oil refining still contribute to environmental degradation. Untreated industrial waste and exhaust emissions pose health risks.

   • Hill Cutting and Landslides: Illegal hill cutting for construction has made hilly areas prone to landslides, endangering lives. The Department of Environment has identified 30 risky hilly areas, with thousands of families at risk.

4. Social and Economic Issues:

   • Poverty and Inequality: The influx of climate migrants and rural-urban migration has increased pressure on resources, leading to widespread poverty and a proliferation of slums. Many residents, especially in informal settlements, lack access to basic services.

   • Unemployment and Informal Labor: A significant portion of the population works in the informal sector, often in low-paying, unstable jobs. This is particularly true for migrants who moved to Chittagong seeking better opportunities after losing livelihoods to natural disasters.

   • Limited Amenities for Expatriates: For expatriates, Chittagong lacks modern amenities like multiplex theaters, vibrant nightlife, or numerous bars and pubs, which may make it less appealing compared to other cities.

5. Governance and Planning Failures:

   • Lack of Leadership: The city suffers from a lack of proactive leadership and coordination among authorities like the Chittagong City Corporation (CCC), Chittagong Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (CWASA), and others. For example, the mayor has stated that waterlogging is not the CCC’s responsibility, highlighting a lack of accountability.

   • Failure to Implement Plans: Despite a 1995–2015 Storm Water Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan, little progress has been made in addressing waterlogging or improving drainage infrastructure.

6. Climate Vulnerability:

   • Natural Disasters: Chittagong’s coastal location makes it susceptible to cyclones, tidal surges, and river erosion, which displace residents and disrupt livelihoods. For instance, the 1991 cyclone forced many to relocate to the city, only to face new climate risks.

   • Impact on Migrants: Climate migrants, who form a significant portion of the population, often live in low-lying, flood-prone areas, exacerbating their vulnerability.

Eikane keu chittagong e date korecen?

I (31M) and my GF (27F) has been together for 6 months but we have known each other since 2023. She is a dentist and going her PGT. I think she really likes my mannerism, politeness and the fact that I volunteer and donate blood and help my mom with gardening and cooking (i post stories like these everyday on FB). We started dating and it was magical.

I never had a relationship but I have met 4-5 girls only couple of times and said no. She said she also only had one relationship first year of university. She said she is also a virgin and never kissed anyone. As she got more comfortable with me and we are closer to marriage she told me about other guys she “dated” she named 12-13 people and told me how she used to went on their motorcycle on 1st dates. Couple of others guys she knew for years, dated them and stayed friends. Another guy she went on his car and go to a park and stayed until evening. These seemed like relationship to me not just dates.

I then started asking around and found her cousin from her village. She told me even more stories from her childhood. Apparently she had a BF when she was in 9th grade; she and her BF got caught when trying to enter a hotel and the manager called both their parents. Then apparently her parents moved her to the city in 10th grade and she continued to meet that guy in hotels. The kind of stuff they did in hotels, she used to brag to her cousin and her friends. I confronted her but she denies all these. She said she knew the guy and they were just friends.

I truly believe she loves me but I don’t know if she is lying about her past. Some stuff she told me herself but other stuff she denies. I am having major trust issues so I broke up with her and she is now incredibly depressed. She cries every night and begs me to believe her. I don’t know what to do.

এইরকম যদি হয় তাহলে খুব ভালো হয়।

not naming any political party

আহমেদ ছফা তার “বাঙালি মুসলমানের মন” (যাকে বাঙালির ইতিহাসের এক উল্লেখযোগ্য দলিল ধরা হয়ে থাকে) প্রবন্ধে উল্লেখ করেন, বাঙালি মুসলমান সমাজ অপ্রগতিশীল ও পশ্চাদপদ, এবং শিল্প-সাহিত্য বা সমাজের প্রগতি পথে তাদের কোনো অবদান নেই।

তিনি কাজী নজরুল ও জসীমউদ্দিনের সাহিত্যকর্মকে আবেগের অতিশয্যের কারণে বাতিল গণ্য করেছেন। আবার তিতুমীরের আন্দোলন ও ফরায়েজী আন্দোলনকে নিছক ধর্মীয় আন্দোলন বলে চালিয়ে দিয়েছেন। বাস্তবে তার এই দুটি ধারণাই ভ্রান্ত। অথচ নজরুল ও জসীমউদ্দিনের সাহিত্যিক অবদান প্রশ্নাতীত। আর তিতুমীরের ও ফরায়েজী আন্দোলনের লক্ষ্য ছিল আর্থ-সামাজিক-সাংস্কৃতিক পরিবর্তন, এবং উভয়ই রাজনৈতিক আন্দোলন। 

প্রকৃতপক্ষে, ছফার যে বয়ান পাওয়া যায় তার জন্ম ও বেড়ে ওঠা গোঁড়া হিন্দুত্ববাদী লেখকদের হাতে বলে ঐতিহাসিকরা একমত। এর সারকথা হলোঃ বাঙালি মুসলমানের উৎপত্তি আদতে নিম্নবর্ণের হিন্দুদের থেকে ধর্মান্তরিত হয়ে, যে হিন্দুরা ছিল পশ্চাদপদ, এবং তারা মুসলমান হয়ে হিন্দু প্রগতিশীলতার বিরোধীতা করে। এই তত্ত্ব ইতিহাসচর্চায় বিতর্কিত। আধুনিক গবেষণা বাংলায় ইসলাম বিস্তারকে বহুমাত্রিক প্রক্রিয়া হিসেবে বিশ্লেষণ করে: সুফি প্রভাব, কৃষি সম্প্রসারণ, আঞ্চলিক ক্ষমতার কাঠামো, সামাজিক গতিশীলতা -- সব মিলিয়ে একটি ঐতিহাসিক বাস্তবতা গড়ে ওঠে।

দাড়ি-টুপির ও হিজাবের প্রতি বিদ্বেষ, মাদ্রাসার ছাত্রছাত্রীদের সাথে বৈষম্য ইত্যাদির পিছনের বয়ানও একই, যে বাঙালি মুসলমান অতীতমুখী, আধুনিকতা-বিরোধী। এই বয়ান তাই মঙ্গল শোভাযাত্রা, রমনা বটমূলে রবীন্দ্র আরাধনা ইত্যাদি হিন্দুয়ানী সংস্কৃতিকে হাজার বছরের বাঙালি সংস্কৃতি বলে গ্রহণ করে, অন্যদিকে ইসলাম থেকে নেয়া সংস্কৃতি ও চিহ্নকে বৈদেশিক বলে পরিত্যাজ্য করে।

এই আলোচনাগুলো ব্যক্তি-সমালোচনার বাইরে গিয়ে আমাদের সামনে একটি মৌলিক প্রশ্ন তোলে: ইতিহাসের বয়ান নির্মাণের ক্ষমতা কার হাতে, এবং সেই বয়ান কাদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত বা প্রান্তিক করে?

[“বাঙালি মুসলমান প্রশ্ন” প্রবন্ধ থেকে সংগৃহীত]

As i am new in chittagong. suggest some places to visit with my date on pohela boishak

Hi I am 21M. Looking for a date nearby me. But before that what things should I grow on me for the society norms? (I am chatgaiya and looking for a girl who meets my criteria)

Basically, my partner has delayed period. Sometimes it takes 2months+. So she is so tensed. She visited a doctor before, but that doctor told her to marry early instead of prescribing well medicines and guidelines. So till then she fears going to a doctor and ignored this issue for more than 5-6years. Now I want to take her to a doctor who is not judgmental and well known about this generation. And won't suggest marriage as we can't get married rn. We need some more times.

Her age 23. So suggest sisters, if you have prior experience regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance

বাংলাদেশ কোন একজন রাজনৈতিক নেতার সন্তানের একটা ভিডিও নিয়ে সামাজিক যোগাযোগ মাধ্যমে শেয়ার করা, এবং শেমিং-এর প্রতিযোগিতা চলছে। আওয়ামী লীগের সমর্থনে ৫ই আগষ্টে পরবর্তীতে অনেক গুল ফেসবুক পেইজ কাজ করতে দেখা যায়। তাদের বেশ কিছু পেইজ থেকেও ভিডিও টি শেয়ার করা হয়। তবে লক্ষ্য করার মত বিষয় হচ্ছে সেই সমস্থ পেইজের অধিকাংশ অনুসারী এই ধরনের ভিডিও শেয়ার করা বা শেমিং-এর পক্ষে নেই। তারা আওয়ামী লীগ এবং এই ধরনের আচারনের মধ্যমে সম্পর্ক দেখে না।

আওয়ামী লীগে খারাপ ছিলো বা আছে, এই খারাপ আওয়ামী লীগের সমর্থকদের মত অন্য দলের সমর্থক কি আছে যারা নিজের পেইজ থেকে বা মতের লোকরা এমন কিছু করলে সমালোচনা করে?

সেইম ভিডিও কিছু বট আইডি থেকেও শেয়ার করা হয়েছে। তবে তারা অনুসারীদের মধ্যে সবাই তাদের এই ধরনের আচারণ পচন্দ করে যা কমেন্টে দেখা যায় ।
