As we approach World Environment Day on June 5th, with its urgent call to "End Plastic Pollution," and World Ocean Day on June 8th, rallying us to "Catalyze Action for Our Ocean and Climate," I find myself reflecting on the delicate balance between humanity and nature. The Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest and a UNESCO World Heritage site, embodies this balance like no other place.

On 12 May, the government issued an ordinance to abolish the National Board of Revenue and the Internal Resources Division, replacing them with two new departments, one for revenue policy and another for revenue management. NBR officers and employees immediately began observing a work strike. As a result, not only were people suffering due to service disruptions, but revenue collection was also being affected.

Once again, it has fallen to the military to provide some clarity on matters of great importance that have nevertheless divided the nation in recent weeks. Army chief General Waker-uz-Zaman's Officers' Address on Thursday (May 21) drew interest from all corners, coming as it did after a particularly confusing fortnight during which rumours of a coup in the military ran amok.

We are alarmed, and rightfully so, at the seeming resort to 'push-ins' by the Indian authorities, in order to return Bangladeshi nationals who may have been residing in India without proper documentation. More specifically, the drives seem to be aimed at Bangladeshi Muslims, and have even included some Rohingyas who are obviously not Bangladeshis, and so the state here has no responsibility towards them - at least no more than India itself.

The violent outburst we are witnessing between two nuclear-armed neighbours in South Asia - India and Pakistan - is exactly the kind of international emergency that would once have prompted a full-on US diplomatic drive to cool tempers and head off a wider war.

Seven decades have passed since that seminal moment in Third World history when, in April 1955, the leaders of 29 countries gathered in the Indonesian city of Bandung to carve out the contours of a Non-Aligned identity during the global Manichean binaries produced by the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Despite provisions in the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) for punishing those who file them, the phenomenon of false cases has been a part of judicial dispensation in Bangladesh for pretty much its entire existence. Sensing the public sense of sympathy for the victims of the July-August Uprising in the present reality, we have seen numerous false cases filed that appear ridiculous from the get-go.

It was the worst terrorist attack to hit Kashmir in 25 years by one account - 26 tourists, 'staycationing' in a part of the restive region known as 'Little Switzerland', were gunned down mercilessly. Husbands torn from their wives, fathers from daughters. The utterly helpless humanity, in the foothills of the majestic Pir Panjal mountains. Previous attacks have targeted military posts and convoys, in what is infamous as the °world's most highly militarised region".

The road to saving the Sundarbans has always demanded more than just talk—it requires sweat, blisters, and the kind of stubborn hope that keeps you pedaling when the sun burns, and the path turns rough. On 28-30 April 2025, Dutch Ambassador Andre Carstens proved just that, trading diplomatic corridors for the dust and grit of a 163-kilometer cycling expedition from Barishal to the heart of tiger country: WildTeam’s Conservation Biology Centre, TigerHouse, in Joymoni in the Sundarbans.
