Welcome to Bangladesh Research Blog
It was always my dream to be a writer, journalist and researcher. In fact, I don’t see much difference between these fields. Well, in the end, I did not become any of them and I became a blogger. Blogging brings my livelihood and I have been in this profession for nearly 4 years. Now, it is time that I can turn on to doing some research. While I browse on Internet and try to find information about my own country Bangladesh, I feel sad for the lack of information.
I cannot understand the reason behind this shortage. After all, the country has now several million Internet users. Almost all the universities have Internet facility for their teachers and students. Anyway, I want to do my part and I hope to write some quality articles in this blog. It is not that all the entries will be research based. Sometimes, I want to put some essays, my own opinions, translations of Bangla short stories etc.
I want to write about several topics related to Bangladesh:
Bangla Literature
Language issue in Bangladesh
History of Bangladesh
Art and Culture
Business and Economy
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
If you are some how interested about Bangladesh then this blog can become a good place for you to visit. I will try my best not to put any advertisement here unless I really and desperately have to earn some extra money.
Something about me? I am Razib Ahmed. I studied in English Department of Dhaka University and I sat for my MA Exam on 1998 (results were published on 1999). I studied English Literature for my BA and in my MA, I studied Applied Linguistics and ELT. I got myself admitted for M.Phil and my research topic was ‘Role of English Language in Informaiton Technology Sector in Bangladesh’ but I could not finish it because of some personal problem.
I did many jobs since 1999 and I have worked around 8-10 places but then on January 2006, I decided to become totally a freelance worker and blogging seemed to be the best option as it gives me all the freedom in life I ever dreamt.

I have the dream to do Ph.D. someday but right now, I have to fight for earning money and for my career. So, this blog is the closest thing that I can do for research.
