Stop stone extraction frenzy in Sylhet
The Sada Pathor (White Stone) Tourist Center near the zero line of the Bholaganj border in Companiganj upazila of Sylhet is one of the most attractive places for domestic and foreign tourists. This is the must visit spot in the area. This tourist center is spread over an area of about 15 acres near the Bangladesh-India border. The main attraction of this tourist center is the stream of water flowing over numerous small and large stones. Thousands of tourists from home and abroad flock there every day to see this beauty; but the area has recently started to become empty of stones due to the stone extraction. Today (May 3) media reports say that the gang has started looting stones in the white stone area since April 23.
Bangalees united by linguistic identity, not communal affiliation
Nationalism is inherently political; it raises questions about the formation and dissolution of states. Language, however, transcends the state and holds possibilities that are not only vast and profound but also both democratic and socialist in nature. This is because linguistic identity has the power to surpass class divisions. Our language movement was democratic in multiple ways. Firstly, it aimed to establish the rights of the Bengali-speaking majority within the Pakistani state structure. Secondly, it sought to unite Bengalis not on the basis of class or communal identity but through linguistic identity, which carried an inherent socialist aspiration.
