The themes of the twenty three short essays in this collection vary widely, from the sudden shift of popular preference in favour of Allah Hafez and away from the age-old Khoda Hafez, to the Bengali's propensity to say Oshubidha Nai, or no problem, in a land beset with problems, to limits of freedom to talk about Islam, and Islamist extremism. Communalism; erosion of secularism; Aroj Ali Matubbor; RAB crossfire killings; Asian tsunamis; floods and earthquakes; Professor Muhammad Yunus and economics; Bangladeshi housemaids in foreign lands-these and other equally disparate themes fill the pages of this book. It will be easy to see, however, that a cold stream of critical thinking run through them. The author extends his critical look from the light-hearted Oshubidha Nai to the theme of Islamist extremism in the context of recent events and the modem world.
