We cannot end poverty without ending corruption

How do corruption and poverty impact each other? I remember reading “Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty”, a book gifted by a German friend of mine on my birthday.

Corporations should be at the forefront of fighting inequality

Vaccines might ultimately save us from the coronavirus, but the damage that it left behind will last for generations.

The ‘Londoni’ Connection

It is said that Sylhet, the northern metropolitan city, is the London of Bangladesh. Nearly 150 people from my native Bangladeshi village of Kewali Para are now proud British citizens.

The inextricable link between water scarcity and poverty

When I was visiting a museum in Athens last year, one of my Greek friends was explaining to me about an ancient water supply canal that went through underneath the museum. It was amazing to see that the authorities in Athens realised the importance of providing clean water for its newly urbanised citizens, even thousands of years ago.
