Promotion of Interfaith Harmony

The world has a massive population of seven billion consisting different gender, race, caste, sexual orientation and faith. It’s a colorful world with different cultures, language and lifestyle. Our lives are so co-dependent on each other that it has become absolutely necessary for us to be tolerant about other cultures and faith. Tolerance is the key for a peaceful world which automatically will turn it into a happy planet. Because at the end every faith offers the same thing: be respectful to others.

Look at the Buddhists in Myanmar- they have been taught the non-violent lifestyle of Buddha but they still mass murdered Muslims in the Rakhaine state. In 1971, the Muslim soldiers of Pakistan killed 3 million Bangalies indiscriminately. Sam Bacile deviated from the true lessons of Judaism and humiliated Prophet Muhammad (SM). A so called “true-follower” of Christianity Breivik killed 77 people in Norway because of his anger against Islam.

Islam is the religion of peace; it teaches its followers to be respectful to everyone. The Bible and Torah have validated Islam and prophet Muhammad (SM). Islam has validated Jesus (AM), Moses (AM) and the other prophets and their teachings. But one thing should be kept in mind that religion is a very sentimental issue to a lot of people. They give all their love and faith to their creator and his prophets. So people should not abuse ‘freedom of speech’ and hate on religion because it hurts a lot of people. Over the course of time people have deviated from the true lessons of religion. It is high time we should get back to what it actually intends. We should be respectful to people regardless of their faith or ideology. A true believer never physically or verbally hurts anyone else. When someone does something that hurts another race or faith or even gender, others should stand up against it and protest it. That way we can build a happy and peaceful world.

Dhaka in the 1950s and 1960s

In the mid 1950s, Dhaka, known as ‘Dacca’ at that time, was just a small provincial town with about 3,00,000 inhabitants. Dhanmondi at that time just started to grow; Maulvi Abdus Sobhan's family had some habitation in Sobhanbagh, Dhaka Stadium was being constructed to host cricket matches and New Market was starting to become a busy shopping area. Dhaka residents loved cinema since the time it was introduced. Baliadi Siddiki family owned Nishat Cinema Hall and held a mega event when the film ‘Aan’ by Mehboob Khan was released in 1952. Elephants were used by the hall owner to distribute leaflets and to spray colour water. There was another prominent hall named Britannia near Rex Restaurant at Gulistan but was closed down in the late 1950s. Gulistan Cinema Hall, city’s first modernity landmark, came up in 1952. Amber, started with Raj Kapoor and Nargis, was the first film the hall showed. Mukul which later became 'Azad 'used to show Bengali films from Kolkat

Comparing current Dhaka with its past

...In late 1950s, the Adamjee group of Industries, which was one of the most significant companies in the country of that time, built an extremely modern air conditioned office-complex in Motijheel - Dilkusha area and named it Adamji Court Building. It was the first building in the city with a lift installed. The US government rented a floor in the building and housed their consular office. Hotel Purbani, located at 1 Dilkusha Commercial Area, was build in 1964 and became the most prominent hotel of that time. S.A.Sobhan, the then Additional Chief Secretary of the government and a silent advisor of Awami League in the later years, initiated the venture. Shortly A Sattar, owner of a 7-up bottling factory, joined the project. Name of the hotel was given by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as owners were quite close to him. Elites of  the city and foreigners found the hotel a good place to be. The buffet lunch at one of the restaurants of the hotel were offered at Rs. (Pakista
