Feb 14 2026 How Bangladesh blocked an Islamist pivot on February 12 and reasserted its Bangali identity and sovereignty

It is said – never mess with Bangalis as they resemble the Royal Bengal Tiger and Tigresses.

Among the architects of nations, history draws a sharp line between two species of leader.

February 5 might have seemed like any other day, but it will certainly go down in history as the definite end of an era – arms control.
