Update — Highlights so far
- Sultana Kamal’s powerful post on the ongoing multi-faceted multi-layered oppression of women in our society
- Activist and writer Priscilla Raj muses on the links between violence and law enforcement
- Ragib Hasan (main man behind Wikipedia in Bengali) writes a fascinating piece on the deep roots of the Bengali script
- Shubinoy Mustofi begins a series on the role of agriculture in the BD economy - all you ever wanted to know about Surplus Labour and Disguised Unemployment is explained therein!
- and last but not the least, writer and journalist Anisul Hoque (of Goddyo-Cartoon fame) survives a brush with death! Written in the signature Anisul Hoque style, it is both hilarious and frightening…

It’s worth pointing out that the site is best viewed through Firefox.
We are still fighting with a couple of technical issues - so your feedback on the Bangla Blog Viewing Experience is keenly sought.

The new web template is not good at all. Its difficult to read [using both IE & Firefox], organization of the content is poor, it all seems mashed together. Can’t tell who is saying what !!
The old template was much better. Bring it back.

Okay, thanks. Taking your feedback on board. I was thinking this layout was much cleaner. What do other’s think? Also can you please give us your view on the bangla blog? Can you read the text?

I am able to read it using IE.Layout looks good.
One small input:
I see the you used “Pesh korun” for submit button. I was thinking a less heavier term could be “pathiye din”.
Not to mention “Post” itself is a very common word in Bangladesh, even those ppl in the country side use, “chiti post” (mailing a letter).
