THE SHELF / 10 political biographies to read during the general elections

While history has never been a one-man show, viewing it through the eyes of influential leaders can lend us a bigger picture.

'Don’t see anything coming to an end'

Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is entering a new chapter in his life as he is contesting in the national polls from Magura-1. For Shakib, cricket will have to take a backseat for a while. Still new to his political career, he was not keen on some of the hard questions on both politics and cricket. However, during an interview with Abdullah Al Mehdi of The Daily Star, Shakib did say things that somewhat contradicted his original stance about not featuring in the next ODI World Cup and the national team captaincy issue, which gained steam as of late with many suggesting a change in leadership, especially since Najmul Hossain Shanto did bring promising results in his short stint as an an interim skipper.

Are the ‘ghost’ cases fooling anyone?

Arresting people on false charges is gross human rights violation

Politics of Fire

Let the truth be known: no one has any idea what’s going to happen to Bangladeshi politics.

Don’t let Dhaka turn into a battlefield

What will happen on October 28?

It seems all the opposition forces are becoming active ahead of the national election.

Will we see a free, fair election after all?

One cannot help but note that Quader had a brazen attitude and lacked any embarrassment about the vitriol his party had been spewing against the US for quite some time now.

The legal case against Khaleda’s treatment abroad is far from convincing

It is hard to discard the notion that politics played no part in this decision from the government.
