Desk Report: The news came to the newspapers almost silently—it didn’t even catch the eye. Maybe because it wasn’t a particularly provocative issue; or because it wasn’t a major crisis. But ultimately, the news carries a sinister message. In Bangladesh, nearly 900,000 young people with the highest university degrees are unemployed. In 2013, the number of unemployed young people with university degrees in Bangladesh was 200,000. So, the number has increased more than fourfold in the last 12 years.

The poor state of education in government colleges

Desk Report: Indonesia is now recognized internationally as the world’s third-largest democracy. This multi-ethnic and multicultural country of about 280 million people has entered the democratic process after overcoming a long military rule, authoritarian politics, and a deep crisis of corruption.

Desk Report: I have spoken to three Jamaat leaders in the last few days. This is a political party whose leaders have an extraordinary sense of proportion. They often know where to stop.
