Humayun Kabir, Men and Rivers, and Faridpur
No full textIn the history of South Asian literature in English, Men and Rivers is the third fictional work written by a Muslim author after Rokeya's Sultana's Dream and Ahmed Ali's Twilight in Delhi (1940). Men and Rivers is a literary work of great merit though more research needs to be conducted on the work to appreciate its value by examining various thematic and stylistic features. Through Men and Rivers, Hamayun Kabir conferred on Faridpur literary immortality. I believe the novel will continue to make the district memorable and special to its readers for a very long time
Response of earth dams in canyons subjected to asynchronous excitation (Dams)
No full textA mathematical closed-form solution is presented for steady-state lateral response of earth and rockfill dams in canyons subjected to asynchronous excitation consisting of SH waves incident at an arbitrary angle. The dam is idealized with a 2-dimensional shear beam model and the canyon is considered rectangular in shape and consisting of elastic rock. An extensive series of parametric studies is undertaken to investigate the influence of the main parameters on the steady-state response by considering the effects of the dam-canyon interaction. In particular the study focuses on the effects of: (a) the angle of incidence, (b) the impedance ratio, and (c) the canyon narrowness.
The solution is extended for a transient arbitrary excitation consisting of inclined SH waves for use in equivalent linear seismic analysis. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.
Perspectives on the assessment of audit risk for “Bokhteyar Humayun & Co.” in Bangladesh
No full textThe internship report was prepared on the topic of “Perspectives on the assessment of audit risk for Bokhteyar Humayun & Co. in Bangladesh”. Audit is the procedure of verifying financial statements of a particular organization that whether they have prepared their statements according to applicable laws & regulations and presented reasonably true information. It is a process that was used since the ancient age of accounting. It is very significant to secure honesty and integrity in the financial sector of any country. Audit has basically three classifications: External, internal and government audit. Auditors have to face some risks and challenges during their audit procedure, these are called audit risks. There are three main categories of audit risks: Inherent risk, Control risk and Detection risk. Based on the risk assessment, auditors give four types of opinions: Unqualified, qualified, adverse and disclaimer. As the author has worked in “Bokhteyar Humayun & Co.” as an intern, he has found that his firm actually faces those three types of risks which are mentioned above. The author has also critically analyzed risk assessment and he has also found some key issues and recommended some solutions for his firm. The author has tried to work as a sincere member of his organization and demonstrated a high level of professionalism during his internship period which has been certified in his “Internship Completion Certificate” in the appendix part
A Comparative Analysis of Mental Health in Humayun Ahmed's Nondito Noroke and Debi
No full textHumayun Ahmed is a prominent author from Bangladesh, widely read for his ability to blend surrealism within the boundaries of middle-class families in Asian households. Nondito Noroke (In Blissful Hell), was the first-ever work of the author published in the 1970s. The plot revolves around a lower-middle-class family struggling to make ends meet. Rabia, the twenty-two-year-old, female character is the eldest daughter of the family. She suffers from an unexplained mental disability that restrains her duties and allows her to lead a carefree life. Her carelessness ultimately pushes her to death while her family suffers from a deep personal loss that claims three lives. On the other hand, Debi (Goddess) portrays the psychic powers of Ranu, the seventeen-year-old protagonist suffering from Hysteria Schizophrenia. Her extraordinary sensory perceptions of hearing a voice without an external stimulus raise her to the position of a medium for “Debi” to communicate with the human world. This paper attempts to conduct a comparative analysis between Rabia and Ranu through the lens of feminist psychoanalysis and trauma theory, where the former is an oppressed and rejected individual who is constantly pulled apart by the expectation of the conventional society on the norms of gender roles. At the same time, the latter is idolised as a Goddess for her ability to foretell the future. The significance of this research lies in understanding the pattern of mental health in the context of women's development from a South-Asian perspective
Response of Earth Dams in Canyons Subjected to Asynchronous Base Excitation
No full textA mathematical solution is presented for steady-state lateral response of earth and rock fill dams in canyons subjected to asynchronous excitation consisting of obliquely incident SH waves. The dam is idealized with a 2-dimensional shear wedge and the canyon is considered rectangular and consisting of flexible rock. A parametric study is undertaken to investigate the influence of (a) the angle of incidence, (b) the impedance ratio and (c) the canyon narrowness on the steady-state response, by considering in a simplifying way the effects of the dam-canyon interaction. The results demonstrate that the above factors may have a significant effect on the lateral response of the dam. For relatively flexible canyon rock, the effect of radiation damping is very important and, consequently, the assumption of rigid base may be very unrealistic. Due to interference phenomena, the response is not maximum for vertically propagating waves, but for waves incident at a certain angle. For obliquely incident waves travelling from left to the right, a gradual shift of the location of the peak response is observed from the mid-crest to the right side of the dam as the angle of incidence increases. Also, for very long dams subjected to high frequency obliquely incident waves, there is no amplification of the motion by the dam and, at a certain frequency of excitation; the presence of standing waves is indicated
برصغیر میں بابر و ہمایوں کاعہد حکومت (1526۔1540): ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ
No full textBabar is prominent among all the Mughal kings because he is the founder of the Mughal Empire in the subcontinent. He was a man of many high qualities. He was author of a book; his Tazak Babri is a wonderful book. It is not rhetoric, but a description of what has been observed. In addition to Tuzak Babri, he invented the Babri script and wrote several copies of the Qur'an in this style and sent them to Mecca. A study of the Babri period shows that he promoted the principle of tolerance and religious He did not kill anyone on the basis of differences. He behaved sympathetically despite winning wars. Humayun was knowledgeable and gentle. He was known for his cheerfulness, gentleness and social interaction. Although Humayun was a brave man but he could not control the army like Babar. In the same way, his brothers quarreled with him and put obstacles in his way. All these reasons led to his failure against Sher Shah Suri. Humayun had a special interest in morphology and mathematics. He himself was a poet and He was also an appreciator of poets. This article is an analytical study of the Babar and Humayun eras

The research highlights the importance of fostering an environment where creativity is valued and integrated into leadership practices, ultimately contributing to the development of more dynamic and effective educational leaders
« The King who would be Man: The Gender Roles of the Warrior King in Early Mughal History ». Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. 18, No. 3, 2008, p. 327-340.
No full textInspired by a number of recent studies on history and gender in the early modern context, Anooshahr is dedicated to exploring to what degree the Mughal emperor Humayun and his lack of success was influenced by issues of confused sexuality and “manliness”. The author profiles a description by the historian Bayazid Bayat (Taḏkere-ye Homāyūn va Akbar) of the battle of Qipchaq (1550) between Homāyūn and his brother, Mīrzā Kāmrān. In this particular episode, Anooshahr is struck by the unflattering..
