About Me

For over 25 years, I have worked in journalism and currently serve at The Daily Rupali Bangladesh, a leading Bengali-language daily. Alongside reporting, I have long been associated with the Bangladesh Human Rights Commission, advocating for the dignity and freedom of every human being.
My research spans religions and scriptures — Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian traditions — exploring the relationship between the Creator and creation. I study the roots of crime — social, state, and international — and ask why a world capable of heavenly happiness allows hunger, inequality, and war. My work also covers ethics, morality, nutrition, food security and the fight against malnutrition.
I believe in personal and religious freedom and I stand firm on one principle: Prosperity through Harmony.
My work focuses on in-depth reporting, poetry, and research on human development — always seeking the truth behind the story

I have been working in the field of journalism. Alongside my professional career, I work as an independent writer, producing in-depth special reports for national and international publications on issues that demand attention. So far, I have written nearly one hundred poems and I continue to research various subjects aimed at improving the quality of human life.

A poet at heart, I have written nearly one hundred poems exploring life, humanity, and hope.
