... INTORDUCTION During the late 90’s, Bangladesh has seen an increasing growth of the ICT industry. Initially, the favorable tax policy of the government of Bangladesh in 1998 accompanied by the global affordability of personal computers have had tremendous impact on the usage of computer. The favorable import tax policy on computers and computer accessories during that time was one of the timely steps taken by the government of Bangladesh. From then on, in accordance with the global trends, both private and public sectors in Bangladesh caught up with effective utilization of information technology. Information Technology is the combination of all activities relating to collecting, processing, storing, using and transmitting data and information through the use of computers and communication networks.

...PRESENT SCENARIO OF CERAMIC INDUSTRY The global ceramic industry is worth of US$20 billion. Bangladesh is perfectly positioned to expand rapidly in this sector with its high quality, cost ratio and creative human resource base. Traditionally, ceramic industry is a labor-intensive sector and companies in developed countries experience difficulties in remaining competitive due to rising labor cost and recent global financial crisis. Bangladesh, being a gas rich, low-labor cost economy and having advanced ‘bone china’ technology, is perfectly positioned to be a strategic partner in production and supply of ceramic goods (Board of Investment, Bangladesh). The ceramic industry is surprisingly not quite a new one in Bangladesh. It dates back to 1962. People Ceramic Industries Ltd (PCI) pioneered the manufacture of porcelain tableware in Bangladesh (Khandaker and Alamgir 2006). According to Bangladesh Ceramic Ware Manufacturers Association (BCWMA), there are approximately 40 ceramic manufacturers operating in this industry producing tableware, sanitary ware and tiles. A medium scale ceramic plant needs around Taka 10 crore (Taka 100 million) in initial investment and the BCWMA sources say the present investment in the country’s ceramic industry is roughly about Taka 2,000 crore (Taka 20 billion) and this sector employs one lakh (0.1 million) workers. Shinepukur, Monno, Bengal Fine, Standard, Peoples and National Ceramic are considered as major players in ceramic tableware market. RAK...

...(Pol 101) Semester: Fall 2014 Section: 6 Submission Date: 30/09/2014 Assignment no.: 1 Bangladesh as a Mono-National Identity In my opinion Bangladesh is a mono-national country. A multi-national country has a big amount of people from different country, culture, language etc. But in Bangladesh there is the majority portion of peoples are Bengali. Their mother language is Bengali, they have the same culture. There are some tribal nations (Khasheas, Marmas, Chakmas, Santals etc.) over 1 million but that’s very little amount where the total Bangladesh population is over 160 million. These minority groups aren’t dominating at all compare to the total population of Bangladesh. “Bangladesh's tribal population consists of about 1 million people, just under 1 percent of the total population. They live primarily in the Chittagong Hills and in the regions of Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Rajshahi.” Another important thing is Religion. There is mainly 4 religions people in Bangladesh. They are Muslims (90.4%), Hindus (8.2%), Buddhist (Below 1%) and Christian (Below 1%). So the majority people follows Islam. For that reason we can also say it’s a mono-national state. Many times the Bengali identity used both negatively and positively in politics. In 1947 Indian Subcontinent divided into two country INDIA and PAKISTAN. They divided two country by majority of religion. East Pakistan (Present Bangladesh) language was Bengali, West Pakistan language was Urdu. The political people of East Pakistan...

...most essential and important elements on how to immigrate in a foreign country is to know its language. This is a decisive advantage, because good communication with your fellow citizens results in better job opportunities, social life and integration. This can be seen in the book and the movie “Brick Lane”, where we are introduced to the Bangladeshi mother and wife Nazneen. The main character of “Brick Lane” is Nazneen, who moves to London as an 18-year-old, when she gets married to the highly educated Chanu. Nazneen lives as a traditional Bangladeshi woman, whose primarily function is to be a housewife. In the beginning of “Brick Lane” Nazneen accepts and adjusts to almost everything and this can be seen in the conversation with Chanu about their bed, where she says the following: “I don’t mind. I can sleep on the floor” She does not tell her honest opinion and perhaps it is due to Chanu’s high educational background and dominance in the relationship that makes her feel inferior. Nazneen is also religious and she believes that everything happens for a reason. Her fate is decided by Allah and therefore she does not complain but accepts. The traces of Chanu and Nazneen’s arranged marriage are obvious because there is no emotional attachment between Nazneen and Chanu. Chanu does not marry Nazneen for love but because a wife is better than no wife, and he also calls Nazneen a “good worker”. It is clear that their roles in the marriage are very definite, but this changes trough...
