Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali, butchered on @PrimeVideo, which seems to be the only platform streaming it in India. Just look at the amount of image cropped because they want to fill the whole screen (Criterion print on the left)

I wrote about the Rohingya for @USIP . Of 2.8 million around the world, only 23% still live in Myanmar. Conditions are worst for those in Bangladesh & Myanmar. But comprehensive solutions should also consider the future of the entire community. usip.org/publications/2024/0…

Bangladesh 🇧🇩
"Human rights documentation must remain non-political. ... Allowing abuses to go unchecked because they are committed by a party we support only perpetuates a cycle of violations," Peter Bouckaert of @FortifyRights tells @faisal_reports.

The BBC has pieced together evidence of a civilian massacre in Myanmar. Scores of Rohingyas killed. Survivors blame insurgent Arakan Army, the group denies it.Thousands have fled to Bangladesh in the past 2 weeks. These are some of their harrowing stories. bbc.com/news/articles/czx6w1…

Some Western brands have unxpectedly incresed sourcing from #Bangladesh even as the country goes through a preiod of political instability. It is too early to tell if this trend will continue, but it is a good sign for what can happen in the near future.

Book excerpt from The Lion and the Lily, accompanied by this great image of a fish shaped boat
Book Excerpt: In her latest book, @mukhoty tells the story of how Shuja ud Daula, the third Nawab of Oudh (Awadh), transformed #faizabad into one of 18th century India’s greatest cities, to be later eclipsed by Lucknow. The photo below shows the fish-shaped boats of the Nawab of Oudh in Lucknow in 1858

When we read an analysis of India’s failed Bangladesh policy, we never hear of Shah’s termites phraseology, CAA, targeting of Muslims in India, stringent visa policy for friendly Bangladeshis, role of the BSF on the border & the use of Bangladeshi as a slur by Indian officials.

As I listened to this podcast I was reminded how much work needs to be done to improve the understanding of policy elites in #India about #Bangladesh’s reality. In the U.S. there is a general lack of knowledge about Bangladesh. In India, the challenge may be greater because the opinions are so deeply ingrained. This also extends to misunderstanding about the U.S.’ approach to the region.
Beyond conspiracy theories: I speak to @sushantsareen as he decodes the #BangladeshCrisis on @orfonline’s #TheRisingIndiaPodcast.

More Rohingya are fleeing to Bangladesh. These videos look all too similar to the mass exodus in 2016 and 2017 when Rohingya fled genocidal violence in Arakan State.

Thousands of #Rohingya become IDPs… no shelter , no food and no medicine urgent humanitarian aid and protection needed.
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST
EXERT maximum pressure on the Arakan Army and the SAC to immediately cease all hostilities against civilians. The protection of civilians must be the highest priority. We demand immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access to all affected areas, including #Maungdaw and #Buthidaung. The international community must ensure that life-saving aid, including food, medicine, and shelter, reaches those in desperate need.

Back in 2023, I blamed the BNP for spoiling the caretaker system. I stand by that. As for the Awami League, we could have had a peaceful transition of power in 2014 instead of a revolution in 2024. Today, we are in a constitutional vacuum. Hence, we have an interim government.

There's palpable fear in Bangladeshi Hindus because of their association with the Awami League.
"Hindus are being targeted as they are seen as supporters and voters of the Awami League," said Biren Adhikary from Dhaka.
