The main factors behind this decline are the current secularreligious duality of the educational system in Muslim societies and the lack of clear vision to guide and direct Muslim action.

Understanding the Society and Governance of Bangladesh through the Lens of Ibn Khaldun
samiul islam
This article attempts to ground the relevance and importance of 14th cen-tury's multifaceted social scientist Ibn Khaldun in the context of the overall social, cultural, economic and political journey of Bangladesh. The famous book of this eminent Muslim thinker the Mukaddimah is considered as the conceptual basis of this study. More precisely, from a sociological point of view, the article tries to examine Khaldun's concept of 'Asabyyah (solidarity), Umran (the nation) and Madaniyyah (civilization) in the context of Bangla-desh. Doing so, a historical analysis of the society and culture of this delta will be portrayed first from Khaldun's framework of social interpretation. Then, the second part will focus on the contentious formation and reformation of Bangladesh as a state and as a unique society through its contemporary experiences at various social-cultural, economic and political contexts on the basis of both from local and global perspectives. The study gathers the nectar from the Muqadimmah, translation of the original text by Ibn Khaldun along with various journal or research papers by different scholars around the world. The study found that Khaldun's idea of 'Asabyyah is extensively applicable in explaining the historical, social and political process of Bangladesh. After discovering historical context, the study found that Khaldun can be considered one of the prime philosophers to address the future of the people of Bangladesh as a sustainable society and a proud nation through creating self-ego that will boost up its citizens in cooperating morally and intellectually from local to global.

If the Bengali nation-state of Bangladesh is a collaborative artwork, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the single most prominent artist whose genius stroke of artistic excellence remains the biggest creative push behind the project. It is as if he was born with the mission to lift a people ravaged by centuries of neglect, ignominy, oppression and diminution to the plane of glory: free nationhood. His politics epitomizes the Bengali aspirations denied time and again by the crooked forces of history. In him lies the "mahamanav", the messiah of Bengalis as dreamt-for by poets like Rabindranath Tagore and writers like S. Wajid Ali. With all his human limitations, he embodies the best in the Bengalis. But the challenges he has faced in his bid to steer his people into the ultimate quest for identity are enormous. Syed Badrul Ahsan's latest book Bangladesh: Political Odyssey of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (2023) is a laudatory endeavor to sketch out the portrait of the political artist as he evolves from a protesting rural teen to be the founder of a dream project: Bangladesh.

English is no more the patrimony of the Anglo Saxons. It is now a universal public property. By the British colonial train, it travelled almost the entire world, came in touch with myriad people and their languages, and enriched itself as the world's number one language. Not only as a comfortable means of communication between the peoples of the opposite poles and hemispheres, but also as a medium of creative writing has English been deliberately taken up by writers of the formerly colonized countries. The number is multiplying with the rise of Postcolonial / Diaspora consciousness. Having studied the British diasporic groups of writers of Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan Bangladeshi origin, the writings of Monica Ali (1967-) and Tahmima Anam (1975-). Whereas Monica Ali is a first generation diasporic writer, with one of her parents of British origin and having moved to England at a very early age; Tahmima Anam belongs to the second generation diasporic group, who settled in UK ...
