Book excerpt: In view of the series of brutal murders of secular writers, gay activists, bloggers and liberal intellectuals by extremists in Bangladesh, the country is in need of healing on many levels - Bangladesh's overall inability to get to grips with extremism being the result of a fractured country, where legitimate criticism and debate are increasingly restricted. Hence the importance of improving human rights, gender equality and religious education in the country. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book endeavours to improve public policy in Bangladesh; with both social scientific and Islamic approaches, so that social equality, civil liberties and a just social peace can be manifested in the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Coronavirus: The first coronavirus case was confirmed in Bangladesh in early March 2020, and since then at least 283 people have died with nearly 19,000 infected. The government has enforced a nationwide lockdown since 26 March in an effort to check the spread of the disease. From my side I hope that Bangladesh is healed from the coronavirus as soon as possible. My prayers are with all people afflicted by the virus, calling on God's help to manifest health and healing in Bangladesh and the International Community.
