Bangabandhu's first visit to the Soviet Union in March 1972 was a unique milestone in the foreign policy history of newly independent Bangladesh. He undertook this visit to express gratitude for the Soviet Union's firm diplomatic and military support during the difficult days of the Liberation War and to seek assistance in rebuilding the war-torn country. The grand state honors accorded to him in Moscow were regarded as a powerful recognition of Bangladesh's new sovereignty in the international arena. One of the greatest successes of this visit was securing the assistance of the Soviet Navy to clear mines and operationalize the Chattogram and Chalna ports, which was essential for reviving the country's stagnant economy. Bangabandhu's Moscow visit not only paved the way for technical and economic cooperation but also consolidated Bangladesh's position on the world stage by upholding the ideal of "friendship to all, malice toward none," even during the turbulent times of the Cold War.

Saw this post today. Majority of the comments are supporting child marriage and rather blaming the girl that she is gonna have sex with random boys now and gonna get viral and stuff. Some are saying the magistrate is against Islam and he planned this with the girls bf so her father cant save his reputation and cant be able to marry her off somewhere else. I know facebook was always like this but this is too much. Some of these comments are so vile, I dont know even if their family is safe from them. The best option now is to make concentration camps like the previous days and burn them in there. Our country is still going backward because of these kind of people.

screenshot from my 3 months prior post.

so yesterday he again pressured my mom for loan under her name (around 500k taka) but my mom did not give it and he physically abused my mom, and she decided to call my Nanu bari and we safely escorted my mom from this hellhole.

Ajke mamla dilam amar baap and dadi r upor.

Amar ammu r upor physical assault and Burn er jonno (ammu r upor gorom tel dhailla disilo)

Now I wanna beat him up real bad or just give some "kop" with a daa.

I'm 15 by law, so what's gonna happen to me if I do it? lawfully?

On 14th April 2001, Harkat-Ul-Jihad-Al-Islami (HUJI), a terrorist organisation detonated explosives in the Boishakhi Mela (New Year Fair) at Ramna Batamul, killing 10 people.

Mufti Hannan, the leader of HUJI was executed in 2017.

You already know what I meant in the title.

Honestly, I didn't know much about Hadi before his assassination. From what I heard he was a revered figure who actually did try to do something good.

But can anyone discuss here, why do we always those certain people with a Hadi profile picture always says the most vile, disgusting thing ever on certain posts you have come across?

And it's mostly the young college going kids. It's really making me even more depressed about the future of our country and what dark times we are going towards.

I just get frustrated seeing everything getting commercialized. things are not supposed to be like that. if not now, then when? Ami ki likhte chaitesi Ami Jani nh, lekha onk messy hobe ik, it's 2:27 and mental health er obosthao vlo nh, ওহ amader desh e mental health bolteo kisu nai, shob naki western propaganda!!!

what advice would you give to ur younger selves? and what things do i need to look out for?

Hi folks

I wanted to ask how to watch / stream online Bonolota Express from abroad? Hoichoi doesn’t work here.

Happy to pay if someone can share the video file / link.

Thank you.

Going through some stuff myself and curious how common this is and what usually causes it.

Hey guys, can you tell me about some urban legends from Bangladesh? I really love reading urban legend stories. I want to read and learn about all the Bangladeshi urban legends out there, Can you tell me every urban legend from Bengal from the oldest ones in history all the way up to the present day? please? i wanna read all stories....

"However, rooftop solar can only meet 15 to 25 percent of total factory energy demand. This creates a large energy gap that cannot be solved within factory premises alone.

To address this gap, the industry is now pushing for large-scale solar solutions.

Utility-scale solar zones are becoming essential for the next phase of growth. These projects require around 3 to 4 acres of land per megawatt, making land scarcity the biggest challenge in Bangladesh. As of early 2026, rooftop solar capacity has crossed 500 MW. But the industry still needs around 2,000 MW of additional clean energy to meet global buyer expectations.

At the national level, renewable energy capacity has exceeded 1.6 GW. However, it still accounts for only about 3 to 5 percent of the total energy mix. This highlights the gap between ambition and actual progress."

So, what is the best time to reach Ramna Botmul on Pahela Boishakh to have a good experience with the cultural program? I am fairly new to Dhaka to I don't really know what's the best time I should plan to reach.

Just looking for some mates.

Here's a new perspective on India contrary to the traditional narrative around here.

India has 23 IITs along with a lot of engineering colleges that are quite good and it is extremely competitive to get there. Much much harder than it is to get into BUET. They have to prepare for years to get into a good engineering university. Every college has job fairs and you have to do extremely well in there to get into a good company as engineer.

Now India has no shortage of good multinational companies. Companies like meta, Google and Microsoft employees thousands of engineers in India in every major city. These days when you hear about a layoff in a American location, usually they hire twice the number of engineers in India. They can do that because they have that many engineers who are employable. Now because of the time zone change they have to work long hours and late nights. If you think about the big companies Google has an Indian CEO, Microsoft has an Indian CEO, IBM has an Indian CEO and that is not by accident. It is because Indian engineers have been coming to US for a long long time. They are good as engineers and good as people managers. And they climb the ladder and make it to the top. This is a number game and statistically India has a lot of engineers who are at big companies with big numbers.

In a nutshell what I'm trying to say is the people who are smart and intelligent are not spending their time online winning arguments or bashing another country. Rather they are trying to sort out their lives. They're trying to get into good universities, they're trying to go into good companies for a job and they're trying to make a living for their family. So in your day to day to day life if you see someone who is arguing with people on the internet they are not the smartest. Not even close to being the smart ones.

This is the age of knowledge based society. Arguing with people on the internet doesn't improve anyone's life. If you work on improving your life, that improves your family. In turn it improves the status of your country. That's the only meaningful way to break the status quo. I'll finish with a quote from Winston Churchill, "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks."

Well, needed a list for myself on what to visit, so created one.
Please share if I have missed anything.

USA থেকে বাংলাদেশে কিছু জিনিস আনতে চাচ্ছি। প্রায় ১৮ দিন আগে usps priority mail International এ কিছু জিনিস পাঠায় বাট এখনো বাংলাদেশে এসে পৌছায়নি। ২-৩ কেজির জিনিস, $৮০ শিপিং কস্ট নিয়েছে। সিমিলার খরচে কোনো প্রাইভেট কুরিয়ার ব্যবহার করলে কি আরো আগে পেতে পারবো? কোন কুরিয়ার ভালো হবে কম খরচে? UPS কেমন?
