The Asian stage for the American show
It's not rocket science that the theatre of confrontation is shifting to Asia. The crux of this confrontation is cross-directional. China is pivoting west with its ambition to expand its reach across the continent and towards Europe. The United States, on the other hand, is pivoting east.

In an increasingly prosperous world, the future generations are losing entitlement.

Is Bangladesh politics heading for a deadlock?
One thing certain about politics in Bangladesh is that it has an evolving order in the midst of an emerging chaos. If closely observed, it's right now abiding by Newton's first law of motion. The object at rest stays at rest, while the object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction. One of the assumptions of the law of inertia is that it doesn't change unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Looking for common grounds or common interests?
If national unity is an issue today, it also was an issue before. Our leaders didn't want to recognise it then, and they don't want to recognise it now. Meanwhile, a crack has grown into a giant hole.

The Americans should have their own Chilcot
The Americans don't need to carry the burden of one man's guilt on their conscience. They, like the British people, have the right to know why their former leader had lied to take their country to a wasteful war.

Is the crackdown dousing fire with kerosene?
The ongoing crackdown is only rounding up hundreds of men every day with the jest of fishermen dragging a river. But can the numbers deliver the results, because a crackdown works like stray bullets having the greater chance of missing than hitting the targets?

Who's responsible for the deaths in UP elections?
The CEC has tried to blame everything on the political culture prevailing in the country, which sounded funny. It has only convinced the rest of us that he was blaming the dance floor to hide that he didn't know how to dance.
