A Dhallywood dialogue recently created a social media storm by cropping up in a more unusual place: a question paper for Bangladesh Studies in the University of Barishal, where students were asked to examine it in the “light of British hegemony in the Indian subcontinent.”

Barishal University’s vice-chancellor has been sent on leave amid student protests that sparked on Independence Day programme last month.

Barishal University authorities have dismissed its registrar Monirul Islam from his service for “sexually harassing” a girl.

Authorities have closed down Barishal University for indefinite period in wake of student protests that sparked from Independence Day programme.
