Bangladeshi society caught in a trap 3

Humayun Azad saw the Muslim Bengali renaissance in the 60s which he wrote in his book 'Amra Ki Ei Bangladesh Cheytham', he lamented and said that the 60s were the best of all the decades he had seen in Bangladesh; He did not see the rise of religious fanatics in those decades. Bangladesh is now very religious. The society of Bangladesh saw a lot of social progress in the middle of the nineties and the following decade, i.e. the first decade of the twentieth century, but from the decade of 2010, it started to fade away and now the whole of Bangladesh is almost like a dirty pond in which many crooks are swimming.

Mosques, madrassas and madrassa students, and burqa-clad girls are seen almost everywhere in Bangladeshi society. So many masters and mistresses are seen in Bangladesh which could not be imagined before; These Islamist people are taking away the old small freedoms of the people of the society, earlier Rabindra Sangeet was practiced in the middle class families of Bangladesh, even if they read the Koran Sharif, they did not bring any sign of religion in their clothes or appearance; And now you see that boys have full beards and girls have hijab on their heads and burqas on their bodies. Hypocritical women are wearing hijab to show off to the society and many hypocritical boys are taking drugs but he has full beard and he goes to mosque and prays.

About Me

th (1).jpg

I'm Arif Hossain. Thank you for stopping by. This website is all about my thoughts towards religions. Not particularly any one religion but about all religions exist till the date. I am a free thinker. I don't box my faith in one particular religion. So many religion exist in this world and it is so confusing for one like me to obey one particular religion. After we born some one tag us in one religion group and then for the rest of our life we keep follow that. I will try to blog as much as i can about my  feelings towards religion.  Stay and support in this journey with me.
