What if the modern crisis is not technological, but spiritual?

In 'Man and Nature', Seyyed Hossein Nasr argues that today's crises stem from a deeper metaphysical rupture: the loss of the sacred.

A timeless critique of modernity.

Bangla translation coming soon.

Alhamdulillah.

My sincere gratitude to all behind it.

Who is the real Donald Trump?

1. Donald Trump does not understand the meaning of honor, dignity, honesty, or martyrdom. These values are concepts that require a moral compass—something he has never possessed.
2. Donald Trump is a proven liar. He lies as he breathes—one lie on the inhale, another on the exhale.
3. For Trump, the truth is not sacred; it is disposable—used when convenient and discarded when inconvenient.
4. Donald Trump does not value human life, including the lives of American servicemen and women. To him, they are little more than props in the theater of his ego—an ego so vast that reality itself struggles to fit inside it.
5. In Trump’s world, ignorance is not a flaw—it is a lifestyle. He speaks with supreme confidence about things he clearly knows nothing about.
6. Trump mistakes volume for strength, insults for intelligence, and bluster for leadership.
7. Trump demands loyalty from everyone around him but practices none—not to truth, not to integrity, not to allies, not even to his own words from yesterday. His only loyalty is upward: to power, to the Zionist project he dutifully serves, and to the billionaire–Epstein class that owns the stage on which he performs.
8. Sometimes one almost feels pity for the orange man. Then you remember the damage he has caused—and pity quickly evaporates.
9. Trump’s greatest talent is turning every institution, every crisis, and every principle into a mirror reflecting only his empty self.
10. Trump will not be remembered in history as a statesman or a leader. Rather, he will be remembered as a warning: what happens when arrogance and hubris replace morality, and when ignorance and recklessness are handed the reins of power.

Academic Unit || Special Class
Under the supervision of our Academic Unit, a special class was held in our library titled “Orientalism, British Exploitation, and the Intellectual History of Bangladesh in the Post-Independence Era.”

Writer and researcher Fazle Alam led the session.
In the discussion, he emphasized the importance of independent knowledge-making and dialogue beyond Western epistemological frameworks. He also critically challenged various imposed narratives about the history of Bengal. Alongside this, he explained how power-structured language and the coloniality of language continue to shape and influence our collective consciousness.
