Humanities & Social Science / Kazi Nazrul Islam and Our Struggle for Emancipation

« on: October 09, 2019, 11:35:13 PM »

"In fact, one can place Nazrul’s work in the global tradition of what the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once called littérature engage—the tradition of socially committed, politically engaged, radically interventionist literary productions. I’ve argued elsewhere that Nazrul is more than a ‘rebel poet;’ that, more appropriately, and by his own admissions, Nazrul is a revolutionary poet. I’ve also argued that in the interest of decolonizing comparative literature as well as our own mind, Nazrul can profitably be situated in the constellation of a whole host of anticapitalist and anticolonial poets from Asia, Africa, and Latin America—ones who poetically and powerfully mediated and mobilized the cause of revolutionary politics without degenerating into vulgar didacticism."

Law / Marry-your-rapist phenomena and legal realities

« on: October 09, 2019, 10:33:30 PM »

"The Parliament of Bangladesh passed the Child Marriage Restraint Act 2017 with a special provision allowing a boy or a girl to get married before reaching the statutory age in some exceptional cases. This provision stirred the civil society of the entire country. Controversial section 19 of the Act says that notwithstanding anything contained in the Act, if a marriage takes place, in the best interest of the underage boy or girl involved, with the permission of the parents of the underage boy or girl, and with an order of the court, upon following the due procedure as laid down in the relevant Rules, that marriage shall not be considered as an offence under the Act.

One of the major criticisms against this provision was that almost anything could come within the purview of the wide domain of ‘special circumstances’. It could bring marriage of a child who happens to be a rape survivor with the rapist within its purview as well. Therefore, one of the main concerns was that this provision would turn the Act into a rape-marriage law and would exonerate the rapists from prosecution if and when he undergoes marriage with his victim. It was feared that even though the Penal Code of 1860 does not give any impression on marriage being an exonerating touchstone to absolve the rapists, the Child Marriage Restraint Act could prove to do something similar to what is done in certain North-African and Middle Eastern countries’ rape-marriage laws."

Humanities & Social Science / Kazi Nazrul Islam: Some Questions and Concerns

« on: October 09, 2019, 10:27:32 PM »

""The leading French philosopher Alain Badiou maps out a global revolutionary tradition of poetry in The Age of the Poets (2014) thus: “In the last century, some truly great poets, in almost all languages on earth, have been communists. In an explicit or formal way, for example, the following poets were committed to communism: in Turkey, Nâzim Hikmet; in Chile, Pablo Neruda; in Spain, Rafael Alberti; in Italy, Edoardo Sanguineti; in Greece, Yannis Ritsos; in China, Ai Qing; in Palestine, Mahmoud Darwish; in Peru, César Vallejo; and in Germany, the shining example is above all Bertolt Brecht. But we could cite a very large number of other names in other languages, throughout the world.” One can surely place Nazrul in the constellation of the poets Badiou lists here. Nazrul even anticipates some crucial insights mobilized by some of those poets, as I have argued elsewhere.""

Law / What is limited government?

« on: September 30, 2019, 06:30:05 PM »

Classical liberalism propagates 'limited government'. When a government involves itself only in protecting individuals' liberty, it is called limited government. The minimalist state or the night watchman state has a limited government.

Law / More Reasons to Doubt that Separation of Powers Can Be Revived

« on: September 30, 2019, 06:22:47 PM »

"John Marini provides an insightful commentary on Christopher Demuth’s optimistic suggestion that President Trump and the Republican Congress will be able to revive separation of powers and, by so doing, rescue us from an “autopilot government, rife with corruption and seemingly immune to incremental electoral correction” that the administrative state has created. Marini is less optimistic and spells out some of the major obstacles to rejuvenating “the primary practical defender of constitutional government, the separation of powers.”

Law / What do our laws say about gambling?

« on: September 25, 2019, 03:17:51 PM »

Gambling encompasses various concepts like wagering, betting, gaming etc. in different jurisdictions, but it essentially refers to a transaction of staking money or something of value on an event whose outcome is not within the control of the person. The predominant moral values of Bangladesh (which may or may not be rooted in religious perceptions) disapprove of gambling activities and the same is reflected in its laws.
