Mind your own business, Sir. Bangladesh does not have a minority problem—we had a political problem, one largely created by your support for an autocrat. You supported election rigging and human rights violations in 🇧🇩. Bangladesh is home to all religions—Hindus, Buddhist,

Stop publishing trash. Before spreading misinformation and disinformation, take the time to educate yourself. You clearly have no understanding of Bangladesh. We have never elected a PM who came to power by demolishing mosques and building temples. Get your facts straight
Unelected "advisers" with an Islamist bigot installed in an army-backed regime is "democracy".
Hinduphobia is so deep in academia that it's frightening. It's just one small step away from directly enabling genocidal attacks of the kind we are witnessing in Bangladesh.

Children who were taught the game of chess, and played regularly, were more likely to be less risk averse than their peers. Results showed chess could also help children boost arithmetic and rational thinking skills.
Learning to play chess at school helps teach young people to take more risks in the game of life.

Include researchers based in developing countries in your team. Knowledge transfers, also learn from them. I still learn from them even researching people/issues in the very region I was born. Applies to all- whether from developing countries or not. Diversify your ‘club’.
Ouch.
Development economics, ostensibly dedicated to improving the well-being of people in developing countries, is almost devoid of people based in those countries.

Not only the Indian media outlets, even prominent Indian citizens have indulged in spreading false information about the situation in Bangladesh. It is very unfortunate.
