A half-day hartal, enforced in protest against the arson attacks on ethnic minority in Longadu following death of a Jubo League leader, is underway in Rangamati without any report of untoward incident.
Mahatma Gandhi had once said, to judge how civilised a nation is, just look at how it treats its own minorities. Going by this yardstick, Bangladesh does not make a passing grade.
At least four demonstrators have been killed since Saturday in southern Nepal, during protests against the new constitution.
The news of a mob in Dadri, a UP village in India of beating to death an individual suspected of cow slaughter would have been normally viewed just as another communal incident.
Hijras, differently abled persons, and ethnic groups of Bangladesh will receive bank loans for setting up their own business from now on.
The government has decided to allow the public servants, who belong to ethnic minority groups, to take optional leave for two days to celebrate traditional festivals before and after the Pahela Baishakh.
AT least 14 Hindu families have been evicted by land grabbers, allegedly at the behest of a local Jubo League leader, in Taltaliupazila of Barguna district.
The frequency of violation of civil and political rights to people of the ethnic minority in Bangladesh intensified further during last year, a published report says
