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 politician will narrate history through an apolitical lens but, at least, not undermining any exploit someone is worthy of it. Withholding substantive narrative of history is one of a kind inferior complexity that gifts zero contribution to self-glorification. Until we unite in history, we won’t unite nationally.

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.
