Entering the professional world after graduation can feel like being thrown into the deep end. Navigate your self-doubts in your early career precisely and don't fall for the impostor syndrome trap.

In an ideal world, perhaps one job would be sufficient. However, the reality for many recent graduates and young professionals differs. If you have a side hustle or just planning to start one, this is for you...

An easy way to understand the Chittagong Hill Tracts conundrum is to look at the root of the problem between Israel and Palestine. While the CHT issue is not as clear-cut as the Middle East problem, there are some basic similarities. Just like how the Jewish settlers used the Israeli Defence Forces to occupy different Palestinian Territories, mainland Bangladeshis have also been doing the same thing using the army. Mainland Bangladeshis were moved to the hills and attempts at ethnic integration were made right away.

No government has taken any effective step to improve the quality of life of this large population of Bangladeshi citizens. The water and electricity crisis is still evident in the CHT. Good hospitals remain scarce, while the number of educational institutions is nowhere near what is required. Even though a section of the UPDF, formed after Shanti Bahini, remains under the control of intelligence agencies, the party as a whole remains unruly. Then multiple separatist groups were formed with the support of neighbouring countries — and the locals are fed up with the extortion of these groups. The security agencies have been rather dormant in the face of the aggression from the neighbouring countries in the last 15 years. In the end, it was the locals who suffered — excruciatingly, silently, helplessly. 

Life under constant military occupation in one's own country and the racist behaviour of one's fellow citizens are certainly not a very pleasant reality. And the political parties seem to have a special talent to sniff out elected representatives from the communities who have no support from the majority. And these so-called public representatives become busy improving their lives and wealth rather than improving the quality of life of their community members.

A sense of ownership and belonging is crucial for national harmony and unity — and only the state can make you feel that. Considering the current situation, we hope that proper measures will be taken to alleviate the problems and sufferings of all the Bangladeshi citizens living in the hills.

#Bangladesh: India's Reckless Actions Are Worsening the Flood Crisis in Southeast Bangladesh

For the first time in generations, Bangladesh's entire southeastern region is facing its worst flooding in history affecting millions of people. The cause? Indian authorities opened the gates of the Dumbur Reservoir in Tripura for the first time in three decades, releasing massive volumes of water into an already rain-soaked region.

(Read: https://t.co/Cnp1TjrTxE}

Could there have been flooding without India opening the Dumbur Reservoir gates? Perhaps yes, but on a significantly smaller scale. The sudden release of water from the dam has inundated the region to an extent it hasn't experienced in generations.

International law obliges India to notify Bangladesh of any actions that could cause significant harm downstream. Yet, India's failure to notify Bangladesh before opening the gates has caused significant distress and damage.

Unfortunately, the Dumbur Reservoir is just one of many dams India has built on the rivers that flow into Bangladesh. Of the 54 transboundary rivers shared between the two countries, India has constructed dams on at least 30 of them, with the Farakka Dam being the most infamous for its catastrophic impact on northern Bangladesh.

India's unilateral construction of dams and its arbitrary control of water flows have become a constant threat to Bangladesh, causing either drought or flooding downstream. This reckless behavior has devastated millions of lives and wreaked havoc on the environment. For example, over 80% of Bangladesh's 20 million small farmers depend on water flowing through these transboundary rivers to grow rice. (Source: https://t.co/t0Fo6jP5bP)

By inflicting such widespread damage, India is effectively breaching international law on a regular basis. Here are some of the key obligations that India is failing to uphold:

1) Under Articles 5 and 6 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (1997), upstream and downstream countries have the right to equitably and reasonably utilize shared waters.

2) Article 7 of the 1997 Convention, along with customary international law, obliges upstream countries, like India, to prevent significant harm to downstream nations, such as Bangladesh.

3) The Espoo Convention (1991) and customary international law mandate that upstream countries notify and consult with downstream states before undertaking any activities that could significantly affect shared waters.

Yet, India has consistently ignored these obligations and has never acknowledged the rights of Bangladesh and its people under international law.

Despite these hostile actions, Indian officials continue to claim that they are friendly neighbors—yet they wonder why Bangladeshis hold such deep resentment against them.

Is India truly a friendly neighbor to Bangladesh? Their actions speak louder than their words.

How is he still smiling with no remorse?

[Sami @ZulkarnainSaer]

I never imagined I would see this day: Major General (dismissed from service) Ziaul Ahsan, once a powerful and feared commander of Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion—an organization sanctioned by the @USTreasury for its involvement in enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings—has been arrested and brought to court. Known as "the beast in uniform" by his colleagues, as revealed in a recently leaked secret document, Ahsan later led the national telecommunications monitoring cell, enhancing its surveillance capabilities with advanced technology from around the world, including Israel.

Despite his arrest, he stands with a grim smile, showing no remorse.

Sheikh Hasina’s murderous regime is planning something big for 15th August. India, a true democracy doesn’t protect tyrants. Extradite Hasina and stand on the side of justice.

Awami League had invested BILLIONS of BDT into the massacre of our citizens and inciting civil war using our minorities as a tool. This is all leading up to something huge planned for the 15th Aug. The world needs to be vigilant.

Whenever India loses their control over a neighbouring country, they start dishing out the fake accusations of oppression against the Hindus with the intention to destabilize the nation. The world must never trust a liar like India.

Beginning of a new Bangladesh 🇧🇩🕊️

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Several Indian media outlets have circulated videos claiming that Hindus are being targeted by ‘Islamist forces’ in Bangladesh.

Analysts say that while there have been attacks on minorities during the political unrest, the media is exaggerating the scale.
