Stop mass arrests
It is indeed sad that we, the general people of Bangladesh, are facing a lot of problems due to political instability. The ruling as well as the opposition party is responsible for this .

What is wrong?
I could not quite understand the reason behind the protest against construction of a public toilet at the site of Martyred Intellectuals' Monument in Rayerbazar.

Release all hostages
The season of hostage taking in Iraq has reached its peak; many have since been released others killed or still in captivity.
 
Friends and people
Some years ago, a best-seller woman writer mentioned that "the world is full of people who mean no harm and cause a great deal of it".
 
Third world?
From the text books since childhood we all know very well that ours is a poor, third world country.
 
Enemy of peace
Islam is a religion of peace and definitely Islam does not need any solicitor to save it. Because there is no question of Islam being an "unsafe" religion.
 
Intellectual poverty?
I speak of architecture as a part of the cultural whole and this must be read in that context.
 
A resilient state
I take umbrage at the remark, "Bangladesh is not a failed state but a fragile state" made by Ms. Christine Wallich, Country Director, the World Bank, at a recent meeting held in Dhaka.
 
Peculiar grading system
This year in both SSC and HSC examinations, the number of students getting GPA-5 is much higher than previous years. The vital cause is addition of the grade of fourth subject.
 
Those names!
I have noted with interest the letter on the above subject in your daily on 29 September, 2004.
 
Flyover boon or bane?
There are 17 railway crossings in Dhaka city.
 
Prejudice (brain drain)
We would like to express our views on two letters that were published on the letter page. Both the letters are based on one-sided views and prejudice.
 
South Indians
My visit to Chennai has opened new windows for me. A not-so-frequent visitor to India my tours have been confined mostly to Kolkata and Delhi. My information about South India has been inconsequential.
 
Termination of life !
At last Rahela failed to combat with death. Miscreants raped her while she was returning home from work place. The miscreants not only raped her but also cut her throat and burnt her throwing acid.
 
Christening Novo Theatre
Yet again another name drama has been staged. The recently inaugurated Novo Theatre which finally was named "Moulana Bhasani Novo Theatre" was renamed thrice.
 
Whither Bangladesh
I wish to respond to AZ's letter and certain points raised there, particularly on our history and our geopolitics (September 29th).
 
Think twice
Yet another anti opposition swipe was going on in the country to mangle the opposition rally yesterday. A similar drive had taken place before 30th April that was criticised at home and abroad .
