Evil Propaganda of Tobacco Industry

The history of the tobacco industry has a significant addition to the study of industry strategy. Many newborn industries came to better understand the fundamentals that the tobacco industry relied on and the handling of conflicts of interest that they won successfully. As a detrimental product seller, the tobacco industry managed to hold its position at the forefront of the global market using science and various strategies. Its evil industry campaign—apparently an open secret—is widely known to the world. The world is currently undergoing a deadly COVID-19 pandemic. In this crisis moment, we’ve seen some significant moves of the tobacco industry with its weird publicity. This is not a very new strategy, rather it is just a part of the legacy of its old-fashioned activities. To understand this fact, we must summarize the history of the tobacco industry’s growing up.  Writer By the early 1950s, some major medical journals and mainstream media published some scientific methods and fin

History of liberation war in Kaliganj in Gazipur Zila

  “Kaliganj Sub-Registry Office is located at the behind of the then largest Mill of the Asia 1 km away from Kaliganj Bazar, south-west to the Kaliganj thana which is south-east to the Gazipur Zilla adjacent to the Narsingdi Zilla border. The Shitalakkhya river flows past the south and south-east area of it(Kaliganj Sub-Registry Office). The Tongi-Kaliganj metalled road is far-extended to the east-west of its northern side. The entire Kaliganj was highly important from the military point of view. A branch of Shatalakkhya divides the whole area into two parts. The name of northern area is Uttar Badati(Uttar Vadarti) and the name of southern area is Dakkhin Badati(Dakkhin Vadarti). The Pak-forces basically took shelter in Uttar Badati and at old sub-registrar’s office situated in this area and their tank was located nearby the bridge on the main road of Cotton Mills. There were some approximate company manpower of Pak-forces in this area. There was a troop tank with them. The freedom fig

Facebook’s Libra currency: Cryptocurrency breakout coming?

Cryptocurrency is a form of digital or virtual currency projected to be secure and, in most cases, anonymous to work as a medium of exchange using computer network. Essentially, cryptocurrencies are limited entries in a database that no one can change unless specific conditions are fulfilled. Such an almost uncrackable coding based online money exchange system use decentralized control as opposed to centralized digital currency and central banking systems. After the 90’s tech boom, the world witnessed many attempts at creating a digital currency systems like Flooz, Beenz and DigiCash but the one of successful attempts was in 2009 with ‘peer-to-peer electronic cash system’ bitcoin. Other digital currencies like Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum and so on aren’t accepted as widely just yet. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and driving force of Facebook, looks setting on trying to create a new  digital currency called Libra—a Latin-based name, from which the £ symbol is derived—to allow its bi

An anti-bullying policy: compliant box rule vs reality check.

Reports say High Court has ordered the government to take proper steps to ensure having a complaint box in every educational institution to raise awareness among students to encourage them to submit complaints about discourteous and indecent behaviour, annoyance and intimidation. Evidently, it’s another futile attempt unless the submitting of complaints procedure doesn’t keep the anonymity of the complainant. But, I earnestly appreciate the accentuation HC gives in the face of bullying culture has fared up in recent days. It sounds good to have a complaint box in every school and college to lessen bullying but in practical, by my life experience, it is a mere showcase of redemption of liability. Why? Writer         Institutions are generally crowded places at class time and such complaint boxes are generally located at an open place. It’s easily noticeable if anyone comes to drop any complaint here which makes the complainant hesitant and reluctant to do so. This is natural

Don't play down Serajul Alam’s part

It is consecutively two years(especially, on the occasion of the Mar 7 celebration), I have noticed so far, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina uttered the name Serajul Alam Khan with a great unease seemingly nullifying something unconventional whisper of history—to some extent, an individual Serajul Alam’s influence on some historical events in pre-liberation wartime history. Last year she called him a schemer. I can understand her political grudge with him originated at the time  of JaSoD emerged by a splintered group from ‘Chhatra League’ in 1972. Prime Minister apprised Serajul Alam’s pressuring on Bangabandhu to proclaim independence in his Mar 7 speech as an intrigue. Prime Minister believes complying with his exhortation would trigger riots across the state at that time. But the then ‘Nucleus’ project — in the early 60s for independence — led by Serajul Alam Khan in company with Abdur Razzak and Kazi Aref Ahmed was never mentioned significantly in her any speech. I don’t expect a poli
