বিবিধ ভাবনা (১৮)
ফিরোজ মাহবুব কামাল ১. বাংলাদেশীদের মুখে চুনকালী আল-জাজিরার ডকুমেন্টেরী হাসিনা ও তার সরকারকে উলঙ্গ করে ছেড়েছে। কিন্তু চোরডাকাত তো উলঙ্গ হওয়াতে শরম পায় না। শরম থাকলে তো চুরিডাকাতিতে নামতো না। তারা ভয় পায় একমাত্র সাহসী জনগণকে যখন তাদের মারতে ধাওয়া করে। কিন্তু বাংলাদেশে সে সাহসী জনগণ কই? জনগণ তো ইতিহাস গড়েছে দুর্বৃত্তদের কাছে আত্মসমর্পণে। তবে […]
Absence of an Islamic State & the Calamities in the Muslim World
Living without a strategy No faith sustains with its conceptual originality, vision and mission in absence of its core institutions. In such deprivation, not only the faith but also those who are adherents to the faith face an existential threat. Communism ceased to survive as a significant ideology after the collapse of the Soviet Union. […]
The Deceptive Goal & the Earned Failures
The genesis of failures A journey without a destination takes nowhere. Similarly, survival for the sake of survival only kills time and adds little worth to survival. In fact, the worth of one’s survival is decided by the purpose of survival. A martyr thus makes a huge difference from a mercenary killer. It is indeed […]
My Days with Brother Maulana Abdul Mohymen

The Disconnection & the Debacle
The core issue & the betrayal The most important objective of Islam is to connect humans with the core agenda of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la (SWT). It is indeed the most important issue in human life and not the professional, the political or the economic successes. Whoever gets connected to his Creator indeed gets the […]
The Hindutva Fascists & the Road towards Disintegration of India
Annihilation of the conceptual premise A state can sustain its geopolitical solidarity only on a solid conceptual premise. The conceptual collapse can only precipitate its rapid disintegration. Pakistan was created on an intense pan-Islamic zeal of the Muslims of different Indian states and languages. But in 1971, the country disintegrated as it lost its conceptual […]
The Hindutva Fascists & the Malice
Like a virus, toxic ideologies never remain confined within the geographical or political borders. It quickly spreads and gets followers beyond the border. The same is exactly true for India’s Hindutva fascism. Fascism has its robust diagnostic symptoms. The fascists keep a constant watch on their ideological enemies and show the virulence. If anyone tells […]
Political, religious & demographic dynamics in South Asia & threatened co-existence of people with pluralities
The myth of ‘Rising Asia’ & the reality ‘Rising Asia’ now runs like a myth in many Asian and non-Asian countries. But such a myth hides many awful realities. The case of ‘rising Europe’ in the past with its mighty economy, military and technology provides valuable insights to analyze the so-called myth of ‘rising Asia’. […]
The Global Terrorism and the Muslims
The terrorising war of the imperialists Terrorism has a precise dictionary meaning. It is the use of weapons to fill people’s minds with terror for political or monetary gain. The terrorising power of a weapon depends directly and proportionately on its destructive power. So, the terror of a knife-wielding robber can’t match with the terror […]
The Importance of Education and the Muslims’ Failure
First thing first For any success, the first thing must be done first. But what is the first thing that needs to be done first? It is none but education. It is indeed the greatest Sunnah of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la (SWT) that He did the first thing first to help humans to attain the […]
