Drug Dealer And Development Deceiver Equally Human Resource Killer
Development Deceivers’ Defined Civil Society
Omnivorous Entity NGOs Promote New Version of Slavery
The very emergence of NGO (Nurturing Grim openly) in Bangladesh aimed at robbed up the spirit of Bangladesh Freedom Fight 1971. The NGOs targeted the youth aged 15 to 35 those who stirred up the love, friendship, fellow feelings and sacrifice by the 1971[that they inherited from the Sufi, Dervish, Alem, Ulama and Sheikh since 12th century. Where it was the righteousness, spirituality, honesty, modesty, integrity, impartiality, morality, civility, sincerity, love, fellow feelings, friendship, care and service for all indiscriminately.]
The crook tried lot against the freedom of a nation shamelessly. The complete failure of 1971 instigate them to put a vicious trap ie the NGO to mitigate their pain, sobs, sorrows etc or create a new version of slavery.
Local and international crook jointly generate this disaster for the nation and spread it subcontinent. Yes we must say there were some good souls merged here on good faith and those also converted to the crook created main stream follow the trend of criminals’ traps. This is the time to assess and reassess the contribution NGO, INGO and UN body in the subcontinent.

Mr Chowdhury was good to his word yesterday & typed up his thoughts this morning on Belfast Central Library & Libraries in general:
"My opinion about Libraries.
Last ten years i come regularly to the Central Library. I love the Central library because Central Library has thousands of books; music, newspaper, computer with internet and free Wi-Fi connection that i could use free and gain knowledge. All the Staffs are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. You could bring your Laptop and Tablet and get free connection. You can also borrow books, music cd and could us all the facilities. There is a nice corner in the cafe where you can sit down, relax and take a cup of tea or coffee. I like to advise people to come to the Libraries and enjoy your free time and gain knowledge.
Thank you.
Santosh Chowdhury."
Thank you Santosh! :)

Kantha for the Bengali folks means embroidered qulit. Kantha is said to be 'Dorukha' meaning turning the worn out and old textiles and fabrics to things of beauty. It is the way the stitch is used, in different arrangements, that forms the complex vocabulary of Kantha.
A Kantha is often referred to as a rural woman's diary as it reflects the rural woman's personal account of her life's events and happenings.
Kantha embroidery has led to socio-economic empowerment of thousands of women of Birbhum. Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles (MSME&T), Goverment of West Bengal in partnership with UNESCO, is developing a Rural Craft Hub at Nanoor.
Simple run stitches at the hands of skill artists create a magical artwork called as 'Kantha Embroidery'. Kantha making is a 'women's art'. It was the bengali housewife who helped the art to evolve.
The origin of the Kantha craft traces its history to a period not less than a thousand years. since then the tradition has come a long way today when the artistic brilliance of the women artists have found expressions in lifestyle products like saree, dress materials, bed and cushion covers etc. Motifs of nature including animals, birds and flowers are extensively stitched and the art work varies from intricate and heavy to light and simple designs.
There is a large concentration of the women doing Kantha embrodiery in Nanoor block of Birbhum, West Bengal. Around 2000 women of this area are engaged in doing katha embrodiery on different products. About 600 kantha artists are included in the Rural Craft Hub.

Kantha for the Bengali folks means embroidered qulit. Kantha is said to be 'Dorukha' meaning turning the worn out and old textiles and fabrics to things of beauty. It is the way the stitch is used, in different arrangements, that forms the complex vocabulary of Kantha.
A Kantha is often referred to as a rural woman's diary as it reflects the rural woman's personal account of her life's events and happenings.
Kantha embroidery has led to socio-economic empowerment of thousands of women of Birbhum. Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles (MSME&T), Goverment of West Bengal in partnership with UNESCO, is developing a Rural Craft Hub at Nanoor.
Simple run stitches at the hands of skill artists create a magical artwork called as 'Kantha Embroidery'. Kantha making is a 'women's art'. It was the bengali housewife who helped the art to evolve.
The origin of the Kantha craft traces its history to a period not less than a thousand years. since then the tradition has come a long way today when the artistic brilliance of the women artists have found expressions in lifestyle products like saree, dress materials, bed and cushion covers etc. Motifs of nature including animals, birds and flowers are extensively stitched and the art work varies from intricate and heavy to light and simple designs.
There is a large concentration of the women doing Kantha embrodiery in Nanoor block of Birbhum, West Bengal. Around 2000 women of this area are engaged in doing katha embrodiery on different products. About 600 kantha artists are included in the Rural Craft Hub.
