Sylhet. Synonymous with tea and blessed with some of the most serene natural sceneries this land has to offer. As part of our constant efforts to take SHOUT beyond the boundaries of the capital, we took a night bus all the way to the northeast of Bangladesh to experience, and bring you, Sylhet. Yes, we did it. We strolled around the SUST campus, enjoyed meals of shatkora beef and paid our respects at the dargah. If only we could speak the local dialect, it'd have been even better.

The youth of Sylhet hold a lot of promise and potential. They grow up in a city where a day trip can cover marshy wetlands and hills covered in clouds. They also live in a place steeped in age-old traditions, and a sense of spiritual integrity in "the land of 360 aulias".

This week's issue is all Sylheti. The articles, stories and illustrations have been contributed by the youth of Sylhet, or those who hold a strong connection to the beautiful region.

Welcome to Sylhet, on SHOUT.
