To the Editor...
"My World"
Sir, Mr S M Afi certainly deserves thanks for his eloquent tribute to Dr Anisuzzaman in his captivating "My World" published on August 28. Such strokes of genuine appreciation are always expected from editors who should do their level best to 'cheer up' contributors and raise the standard of the daily. Hats off to S M AHI There should also be a word of appreciation for the renowned Islamic scholar, Dr Syed Ashraf All. who was the first in Bangladesh to bring to light the essay on Tagore by Shahid Suhrawardy. It was through his painstaking efforts that "Tagore at Oxford" saw the light of the day through "The New Nation" in 1989. Incidentally. Dr AH was also the first to project the "Pir AH Brahmin' episode of Tagore's
illustrious family through a Bangladeshi Television programme entitled "UJJlbon." Md Abdul Jabbar

Sir, The My World’ by S M All in the issue dated 28 August 1992 of The Daily Star' has Indeed been of interest to me. I would like to assure him that. I am still free but still a prisoner of the film industry and also of Rotary's world of selfless service.
It is always refreshing to find that a friend like Mr All remembers me. It is even inspiring because he does so in an extraordinary manner.
I and millions of others in Bangladesh look forward to have continued pleasure of enjoying the fruits of his pen. Iftekharul Alam (KUchlew) Gulshan. Dhaka
Principal for agri colleges
Str. At present there are three agricultural colleges in the country which arc functioning under the academic and administrative control of Bangladesh Agricultural University. Mymcnsfngh and Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazlpur respectively. Unfortunately none of thes^ colleges has a permanent Principal: some senior-most Professors are discharging duties as Prine! pals-In-Charge.
It may be mentioned here that Bangladesh Agricultural Institute (BAI), Dhaka is the country's oldest agricultural educational Institution which has already completed It* 53 years of successful services to the nation. The Teachers Association and Students' Union of BAI had several times
urged the relevant authority to appoint a permanent Principal to the college. Despite repeated assurance* from the Agriculture Minister, Secretary of Agriculture. DC, BARI, the flic relating to the appointment of Principals to the agricultural college* is yet to get momentum. We would honestly call upon the authorities concerned to expedite the appointment of permanent Principals to all the three agriculture colleges including BAI.

State of women
Sir, Based on the criteria age and sex, the entire nation, or for that matter, the mankind as a whole, can be divided into men, women, chll dren and old people, of them the later three strata are most vulnerable to socio-economic
injustices. Again, women top the list if the Intensities of susceptibility are rank-ordered.
The regional pages of the. national dailies are filled with news Items entitled : 'housewife beaten to death', 'commits suicide' and the like, vividly portraying the pitiable state of women In our society. Those among the women who relentlessly strive for physical survival ploddingly evading the-above fates have always not necessarily been fortunate enough to get jobs ensuring security; rather young women are very often entrapped by the wlcketf. Prostitution, women-trafficking, Illicit activities in massage parlours are several other dimension* of helplessness of women In our society. •
Intricately intertwined vices have gripped the nation, the major one of them being
inhuman sufferings of the women. Being physically weaker and enticing to the lecherous, the young cohorts of them are subjected to untold grievances. Ostensibly, to give them jobs, iniquitous of us have been trafficking them to other countries for the debauches. Hundred* of these hapless women have now been languishing In those foreign jails. Weak family ties, material dependence on other* inter alia have been the factor* driving them to thi* apparently unending hole.
the women of our society have been Ih a good state. The plights of others call for concrete measures aiming at ame-. Iterating the Intensity of their
