Bangladesh Updates

[03/08/24]

(Same disclaimer as before: I'm discussing the situation with relatives who are accessing Bangla-language media; I'm therefore unable to provide sources)

The military's Chief — who, by the way, is the husband of Sheikh Hasina's cousin (her government is basically one big collection of nepotism) — had a meeting with other high-ranking military officials. Apparently, what's come out of this is that the military said that they could not act in favour of the Awami League (the Bangladeshi government) and turn against the public

Army officials have also supposedly been instructed not to fire at protestors

We're getting this information from retired Bangladeshi military officers who now live overseas (e.g. in the UK, the US, Canada etc.)

Government representatives are claiming that they did not order the police to shoot at protestors

Sheikh Hasina is claiming that helicopters didn't fire at protestors and civilians — instead, the helicopters were spraying water

In solidarity with the protestors, Bengali business owners are boycotting law enforcement (e.g. the army, the Rapid Action Battallion, police officers etc.) and refusing to sell them goods in

Similarly, landlords in cities are evicting law enforcement and giving them three days to leave properties

Meanwhile, people living in cities are still living in fear of nightly raids. The government continues to insitgate internet blackouts in order to facilitate these raids

Students previously had nine conditions for negotiating with the government. They have now lowered this to one condition: for Sheikh Hasina to resign and give power to a third-party power

To date, more than 11,000 protestors have been arrested. However, this number is understood to be an underestimation

Those arrested are often being beaten and tortured in prisons

A lot of people have been kidnapped — we don't know what's happened to them

It is difficult to get an accurate death toll as the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence are taking paperwork from hospitals

The protestors are standing strong, conducting protests in their thousands.

Protestors are planning an indefinite, country-wide boycott starting on Sunday 4 August 2024 to pressurise the government economically. They ask that people:

Only shop between the hours of 11 am to 1 pm

Avoid driving rickshaws or cars

Avoid taking trains

Avoid paying gas and electricity bills

Avoid paying taxes or mortgages

Avoid opening, or going to, offices, banks, courts and schools

Avoid going out for leisure.

Electric Rickshaws: The Eco-Friendly Solution for Sustainable Urban Transportation

As the world continues to face the consequences of climate change, cities are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and move towards more sustainable transportation options. One such option that has gained popularity in recent years is the electric rickshaw. Also known as e-rickshaws, these vehicles are a low-cost, energy-efficient and eco-friendly mode of transportation that could revolutionize urban mobility.

E-rickshaws are battery-powered, three-wheeled vehicles that are similar to traditional rickshaws in terms of size and design. They have a seating capacity of 2-6 passengers and can reach a top speed of 25-35 km/h. Unlike traditional rickshaws, however, e-rickshaws are powered by an electric motor and do not emit any harmful pollutants into the air. This makes them an excellent option for short trips in congested urban areas where air pollution is a major problem.

Benefits of E-Rickshaws

One of the biggest advantages of e-rickshaws is their environmental impact. According to a study by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, e-rickshaws emit up to 75% less carbon dioxide than traditional rickshaws and up to 95% less than petrol-powered vehicles. This reduction in emissions can help to improve air quality and reduce the negative health effects associated with air pollution. Additionally, e-rickshaws are highly energy-efficient, with some models capable of traveling up to 80 kilometers on a single charge.

In addition to their environmental benefits, e-rickshaws also have a number of economic advantages. They are significantly cheaper to operate and maintain than traditional rickshaws, as they require less frequent fueling and have fewer mechanical parts that need to be replaced. This lower cost of ownership can also lead to increased job opportunities for drivers, as more e-rickshaws on the road means more demand for drivers.

Despite the many benefits of e-rickshaws, however, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed before they can become a widespread mode of transportation. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of infrastructure and charging stations for e-rickshaws. While some cities have started to build charging stations for electric vehicles, the infrastructure is still not widespread enough to support a large number of e-rickshaws on the road.

Another challenge facing e-rickshaw adoption is regulatory barriers and government support for electric vehicles. Many countries still have policies and regulations that favor traditional gasoline-powered vehicles over electric vehicles. This makes it difficult for e-rickshaw manufacturers to compete in the market and for drivers to switch to e-rickshaws.

Despite these challenges, there are several successful e-rickshaw programs around the world that provide a roadmap for future adoption. In India, for example, e-rickshaws have become a popular mode of transportation in cities like Delhi, where they offer a more affordable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional rickshaws. Similarly, in Bangladesh, e-rickshaws have helped to improve air quality in the capital city of Dhaka, where air pollution is a major problem.

Conclusion E-rickshaws have the potential to be a game-changer in the world of sustainable urban transportation. They offer a low-cost, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles that could help to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and create jobs for drivers and manufacturers. While there are still several challenges that need to be addressed, the success of e-rickshaw programs around the world shows that they are a viable option for the future of urban mobility. As cities around the world look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, e-rickshaws are a solution that should not be overlooked.

Why The Move To Electric Transportation Has Favoured E-Rickshaws

Around the world, there has been an increase in the use of electric vehicles, a potential way to fight climate change and cut pollution. But even while the use of electric vehicles is still growing in many nations, the e-rickshaw and battery operated e rickshaw loader, a common vehicle in many developing nations, has already benefited significantly from the switch to electric transportation.

Three-wheeled e-rickshaws, often referred to as electric auto-rickshaws or e-auto-rickshaws, are frequently utilised for public transportation in developing nations, including India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Essentially, they are a small battery-powered variation of the classic, gas-powered auto-rickshaw. Compared to traditional rickshaws or other types of public transit, e rickshaw manufacturers in India manufactures e rickshaw that is more cost-effective to run, environmentally friendly, and frequently more convenient for passengers.

One of the key reasons that e-rickshaws have benefitted from the move to electric transportation is their affordability. In many developing countries, where traditional rickshaws are a common form of transportation, e-rickshaws are often a more affordable option than gasoline-powered auto-rickshaws. E-rickshaws have a lower initial cost, and their battery-powered motors are much cheaper to maintain than gasoline engines. This means that e-rickshaw owners and drivers can save money on fuel and maintenance costs, making it a more sustainable and profitable business option.

In addition to their affordability, e-rickshaws are also more environmentally friendly than traditional rickshaws or other forms of public transportation. E-rickshaws manufactured by top e rickshaw manufacturers in India produce significantly zero emissions than gasoline or fossil fuel-powered vehicles, which is an important consideration in developing countries where air pollution is a serious problem. Using e-rickshaws can help reduce the levels of pollutants in the air and mitigate the negative impact on public health.

Another benefit of e-rickshaws is that they are often more convenient for passengers. E-rickshaws are generally faster and more comfortable than traditional rickshaws, which are often slow. E-rickshaws are also more reliable, as their battery-powered motors are less prone to breakdowns than traditional gasoline engines. This means that passengers can get to their destination more quickly and efficiently, which is particularly important in cities with high levels of traffic and congestion.

Finally, the move towards electric transportation has also spurred innovation, and technological advancements in the e-rickshaw industry with the introduction of the battery operated e rickshaw loader. As demand for e-rickshaws has grown, manufacturers have invested in improving the design and performance of these vehicles. So, the move towards electric transportation has significantly impacted the popularity and viability of e-rickshaws in many developing countries. As the shift towards electric transportation continues, we expect to see further advancements in the e-rickshaw industry, making these vehicles an even more attractive option for drivers and passengers alike.

Where to find inspiration?

Writing doesn't work for me, but it can be said

Late inspiration from my father.

I do not know much about writing while reading in Masud Rana, Dasu Banu's author, Romana Afroz or Shirsendu Mukhopadhyay's 'Telescope', Samaresh Mazumdar's Kalbella and many other novels, especially for Humayun Ahmed's Humu and Misir Ali. The thrill of reading a textbook was different. And for that, my parents would have to laugh. If you could not attend class, you would face a difficult environment at school and home that day. In such a situation, I had to flee to the park, to the pond, or my friends' house without eating all day. And after returning home after dusk, another step came to rescue my mother from my father's nephew.

I didn't want to do much writing or reading, but luckily I had to read more among my siblings. I liked leaving school and returning home with my friends until midnight. At that time, my younger brother Masud would open the door for me to enter the house quietly. There was no error in my father's efforts to get a job in this world or to establish me in this society as I read in General Line. He used to syllabus my textbooks and make questions and compile them. Then he told me to memorize and returned home in the evening to collect all the reading from me. As soon as I read the General, Daddy invited me to study electrical subjects from Dhaka Polytechnic, encourage me to take a course on a computer or bring me to Abdul Monem's company. Sent to work, all of this embarrassed me at the time, I felt like taking away my freedom. Today - I love my father a lot. When he was not understood.

Everything written for me is inspirational, all I read is my father. Not all words can be spoken or conveyed. Some things are hidden in people's hearts, and then they are not remembered. In addition to doing my masters, reading "Law" has been my father's will.

Later, many more sir, friends, cooperation of many people, their inspiration has given me the courage to go the hard way. When my father was admitted to Bardem Hospital suffering from cancer, he encouraged me to take part in the Advocacy Membership Exam at my Bangladesh Bar Council. From the hospital, Dad lies in bed and forces me to go to class. Come here today to stumble across many paths.

My father left us to go to the Hereafter, to marry our two brothers, and our sister had already married two. So my father had no other responsibility when leaving.

Our mother was a teacher in the "Sabera Sobhan" government school in Brahman-Baria district.

Later on in my life - I worked in court and chamber, in different companies, this is how some writing was done.

My first senior was Rafiqul Islam, a wise senior advocate. When I went to the Gausnagar Chamber of Sir Magbazar, he would ask me to sit down in front of him. Later, when I was sent to Ismail Hossain, a junior wise advocate, Sir, Ishmael Hossain, the wise, had the opportunity to work on Sir. That's how the senior brothers in the court encouraged me to work.

 Thanks to everyone.

Like many old cities in the world, Old Town Dhaka is is filled with wonders and is a goldmine for history buffs and city explorers. A bustling metropolis one can easily get lost in its charm which includes amazing old architectures, narrow lanes and streets where it’s hard to imagine a car can move through while hundreds of rickshaws line up and even travel in high speed depending on the traffic flow and the time of day. It’s small but famous eateries for biryani and other delicacies to even smaller gold shops where millions of taka is being exchanged at any given day, can’t be described unless experienced firsthand. In Bengali, Puran Dhaka (পুরান ঢাকা) is a term used to refer to the historic old city of Dhaka, should be in the list for all explorers interested in the history, architecture and wonders of old cities like Dhaka. In this frame one can see a typical building that houses residents in higher floors while accomodate businesses on street level. Discovering all the wires above for telephone, electricity and more are no surprises to the locals but visitors are often amazed in the complicity of the view.

I want to go to Bangladesh.

I want to go to my baari and smell the wood smoke from the wood stove. I want to sit on the bench on the river bank. I want to argue with the rickshaw driver about the fare. I want to feel the sweat when the electricity goes out and the generator is not working.

Asia Pacific electric three-wheeler market Projected To Witness Vigorous Expansion By 2026

The Asia Pacific electric three-wheeler market is estimated to be 156,397 units in 2021 and is projected to grow to 486,446 units by 2026, at a CAGR of 25.5% during the forecast period. The automotive industry is at the cusp of technological evolution to develop zero-emission vehicles, while electric three-wheelers for daily commuting have become the steppingstone for the same. However, before deploying these as primary usages, electric three-wheelers need to have the necessary charging infrastructure and optimum performance. Electric three-wheelers are also noise-free. They are therefore expected to be the building block for the success of emission-free vehicles of the future.

As of 2020, the Asia Pacific electric three-wheeler market was dominated by low-speed, affordable electric three-wheelers, having a top speed of less than 25-35 km/h. To extract more performance out of these vehicles, a bigger battery and advanced motor components are required, which will increase the overall price of the vehicle. Thus, manufacturers around the region, especially from cost-sensitive markets, have stuck to the low-performance electric three-wheelers, as they make more sense economically.

The market for electric three-wheelers with 3-6 kWh battery capacity is estimated to cover the largest market share by 2026 because of the growing demand for higher battery capacity vehicles that can be used for longer distances without energy drain of the battery. E-rickshaws and electric autorickshaws have a battery capacity of 3–6 kWh. These batteries have higher energy density and thermal stability. They are used in high-performance electric three-wheelers as they offer a high current rate, optimum thermal stability, and a long lifecycle. These batteries are preferred for long-haul as they are large enough to accommodate heavy battery packs built with low-density cells and can offer the required range. Fewer range-related issues, affordability, and a better value proposition in the shared mobility space are the three core USPs of three-wheelers with battery capacity within the range of 3–6 kWh. Industry experts claim that with more daily rides, electric three-wheelers are more lucrative. A petrol-powered three-wheeler has a running cost of about INR 4 per km, while the running cost of its electric three-wheeler is around INR 0.5 per km. Affordable three-wheelers with battery capacity within the range of 3–6 kWh are a fast-moving segment, providing last-mile connectivity and expected to grow further in the countries of Asia Pacific where transportation still poses a challenge.

The 1,000–1,500 W segment by motor power is the largest due to its extensive usage in electric three-wheelers, as it provides a better range compared to below 1,000 W in low-speed electric three-wheelers. Players such as Atul Auto and Piaggio have experienced huge growth in electric three-wheelers with motor power of 1,000–1,500 W. It is estimated that electric three-wheelers with above 1,500 W power are expected to grow at a higher rate than other segments due to their higher energy efficiency and increasing demand for high-performance electric three-wheeler freight carriers. Motor power is one of the important deciding factors in this shift as synergy of motor power with the system helps run the electric three-wheelers.

The lithium-ion segment by battery type is projected to be the faster-growing segment in the electric three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Established market players are attempting to develop electric three-wheelers equipped with advanced lithium-ion batteries. The limited lifecycle and usable capacity are likely to shift the focus from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries and drive the electric three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Another advantage of a lithium-ion battery is lightweight, which helps maintain the energy-to-weight ratio of the vehicle. Its electrodes are made of lithium and carbon. It can store more energy per kilogram of weight compared to a lead-acid battery. High energy density helps drivers to deal with range anxiety, and hence, this factor is estimated to drive the lithium-ion battery segment during the forecast period.

India is the largest market in the region, followed by Bangladesh and the Philippines. India is the largest market in the region due to its government policies to support the adoption of electric three-wheelers. In August 2020, the government introduced the new Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy, 2020, intending to increase the adoption of EVs in the national capital region. The new policy proposed tax waivers, charging and swapping infrastructure establishment, battery cycling ecosystem, and creating a non-lapsable State EV Fund. In 2019, Delhi proposed open permits for electric three-wheelers. Moreover, India already has a well-established market for three-wheelers. This is because of the country’s high taxes on petrol, which increases the demand for alternative fuel vehicles. The government’s new vehicle scrappage policies will also support the growth of electric three-wheelers, besides lowering the cost by providing subsidiaries in the country. In 2020, the purchasers of e-carriers were eligible for a scrapping incentive for scrapping and then registering the old ICE goods carriers registered in Delhi. Up to ~USD 104 (INR 7,500) of the incentive shall be reimbursed by the GNCTD for the purchase of e-carriers. Regulatory support would play a key role in electric three-wheeler adoption. A combination of both fiscal and non-fiscal incentives is critical in the medium term. In terms of charging infrastructure, a mix of plug-in charging and battery swapping models must be carefully deployed for the growth of electric three-wheelers. For instance, in 2021, electric vehicle startup Zypp plans to set up 5,000 battery swapping stations for three-wheelers across India over the next three years. The last-mile delivery company, now operational in six cities, has set up 50 battery swapping stations across Delhi NCR and Jaipur.

2008/09

2008: Iarlaith finishes secondary school (high school) and scrapes through his exams with little motivation other than to be done with them. University is generally the next step but that didn’t tickle his fancy. His sights were set on lands far away. The geography text book had taught him of a few places more exciting than UL or NUIG, so Iarlaith had other plans. He went to France that summer and visited Taize wherein he attended a workshop on the silk road. There was a poster of Bangladesh on a wall and so Iarlaith proceeded to ask for an email address…

2009: After a few months working in Super Value the plan was in place and the funds raised. On landing in Dhaka, Bangladesh in January of 2009, Iarlaith’s adventures had begun. To say that his heart could have pounded its way through his chest wouldn’t be far off the mark. The smallest of things, from bus rides to cycle rickshaws felt like rollercoaster rides. The smell and feel of the air was enough to tell the senses that something drastic had changed. Stares pierced his skull from every angle at every time. The first meal tasted bad, proving to be the only food in all of the Indian subcontinent that Iarlaith actually didn’t like. He didn’t know how he felt. Did he like it at all, or was he lonely? A confusion that itched inside but eased with the sound of ‘The Rising’. Soon those question marks were answered as days quickly turned to weeks gone by. Iarlaith was still alive and amused, passing days with the Brothers, L’Arche and saying hello to Ayako. Everything was new and outlandish. Taking a one taka boat ride across the river, escaping electricity and the hustle and bustle it brings. Entering into a simplicity that only primitive living and pristine nature allows. He walked through paddy fields, along paths barely wider than his foot. And at the end of every road, every path, every step, was a warm welcome and a few bright little smiles. The murky streets of Dhaka, and mud homes of the Santhal couldn’t match the homely feel of Mymensingh, and living by the banks of the Brahmaputra river. A sunrise worth waking for, an awakening to the world outside his own.

A couple of months later and it was time for a 16 hour bus journey across the country and over the border into India. Kolkata welcomed Iarlaith with open arms, or at least the homeless kids did, showing him through the backstreets. His eyes, that had been so widely opened in Bangladesh, now began to find their focus as they scrambled to read their environment and slowly come to understand a different world. He struggled at first but soon found a number of pillars of support. Iarlaith somehow managed to fit seamlessly into this new system without so much as a blip, starting a new chapter of everything. It wasn’t simply a turning of the page which would imply a continuation of what had just been. It was the difference between reality and dreams, between black and white, the sky and the sea. Iarlaith survived and then thrived. He found friends and passion throughout his days and grew infinitely. He experienced life next to death, love alongside pain and suffering, calm intertwined with the madness. Simply put, he found happiness. Kolkata was the best classroom Iarlaith ever set foot in, a truly unique educator. It knows you better than you know yourself, and gently reveals when you’re ready for more. Take it or leave it, the ultimate self service school. A place full of like minded students, helping one another to live and to learn.

Used Electric Vehicles Batteries Could Be Used for Rickshaws in Bangladesh

Used Electric Vehicles Batteries Could Be Used for Rickshaws in Bangladesh

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries made for Electric Vehicles (EVs) only use around 70% of their life, the remaining 30% can be used for the second life

One second-life application being explored by researchers at WMG, University of Warwick, is for motorized rickshaws (easy-bikes) in Bangladesh

The current batteries used for easy-bikes only last 6-12 months and have a high carbon footprint, therefore…

FIRST DAY IN DHAKA!

DHAKA, BANGLADESH. 11 JANUARY 2018

Wow! What a day it has been! I’m currently laying on a small hard bed in a tiny cabin on a boat. We’re on the way to an island called Silent Island which is located at the most southern point of Bangladesh. 

So I arrived in Dhaka early this morning at 12:30am. As soon as I stepped out of the plane it hit me. The smell was horrible! There was so much smog and there were a lot of Bengali’s. The airport was jam packed at 12:30am! Majority wearing their traditional Muslim or Hindu religious clothing and mostly every one of them was staring dead at me as I was the only westerner walking through the airport. Once I cleared immigration It wasn’t that hard to find Jamie. I hopped in the car and off we went. My first reaction was literally ‘WHERE THE F**K AM I?’ The car ride from the airport to the apartment was mind blowing visually. It’s like when your driving in the early morning in winter and it’s super foggy and you can just see the street lights and car head lights a head of you, imagine that but it’s smog! Along with that it’s basically a free for all on the roads. Jam packed with rickshaws, trucks with people hanging off them, and a shit load of cars. We were driving by people lighting fires in the street to burn their rubbish, police officers roaming the street with pump action shotguns and rifles from world war 2 and a hell of a lot of stray dogs roaming around. My eyes were wide open, I probably didn’t even blink, I was in shock. Within the first hour of me being there I was already struggling to breathe, the smog was so intense. We got to the apartment where we would be staying and I met the owners Suman and Lopa who were incredibly kind and welcoming. I was finally able to get some rest after 20 hours of travelling. I was exhausted.

After sleeping for about 4 hours I was woken up by the call to prayer at 5am blaring through the city. It scared the absolute shit out of me, this was all new to me I had never heard a call to prayer and I thought something was wrong so I was actually stressing out!

So the first day we woke up, had breakfast, I did my first squat shit and got an electric shock trying to have a shower. That all happened in an hour. What a great start to the first day right?!

We packed up our gear and headed to go film a section of the documentary. It was my first time walking in the thick of it and trust me it’s wild. There are so many people in this country, 168 million to be exact. We found this river where all of the boats are and we set up for the first shots. I was able to shoot my first portrait on my film camera of this child that was fascinated by my equipment. From there we headed to the local barber shop where Jamie got a hair cut and I filmed some more.

After that we went back to the house to pack. We loaded enough clothes, food and gear into our bags to last us 3 days. We headed out through the madness again to get on to the boat which would take us to Silent Island. We’ve had dinner, lost a drone, sipped some drank rum and ginger and now here I am writing this.

Here are some images captured on my first day.

Biharis have to fight with humanities to lead their lives.

The number of Pakistani or Urdu-speaking people stuck in Bangladesh is above 5 million, of which around three and a half lakh people live in refugee camps in different areas. Mirpur Bihari Camp is one of them. One to one and a half million people lives in this camp.

In 2008 the government gave them the right to vote. But they still did not receive the desired passport facility. If they want to go abroad, they cannot go out of the country. On the other hand, the Biharis cannot go to their own country because of the government's unwillingness. Because of lack of educational qualification, these people cannot do good jobs. So there is no development of their living standards. So that they are being forced to live without any unemployment benefits.

Children are involved in criminal activities due to financial inadequacy. In the efforts of some NGOs, limited education programs are being run in the children of Urdu speaking children. But due to language and cultural differences, they are being interrupted for education. There were 20 schools in the MuslimBazar Bihari camp of Mirpur 10 and 11, but no official school for Urdu speaking children was developed. Non-Bengali children cannot survive due to language problems. Because there is no separate school, the education program for non-Bengali children becomes difficult in general schools. Unable to withstand the pressure, they were forced to leave school.

They have to cook, eat, and sleep in a room. In one room they have to live 7 or 10 people. In the same bath room, more than one woman or several men are seen bathing. Most people are more likely to be infected with contagious diseases. Although the government has installed some tube wells, they are being affected by water borne diseases due to WASA water.

They do not have adequate drinking water. They also have no good drainage system. Due to not getting enough electricity, they are trying to take power illegally.

At present, they rented the homes of the Bengalis for additional income.

The quarrel among them has become a normal matter for being so crowded. Due to the introduction of Bihari identity, it is still a great fight for them to meet the mainstream of the society. Even then, those families who can see a little money or become highly educated have started living outside the camp and living somewhere else. But most of the time it is not possible.

Most of these Urdu-speaking people work in slaughterhouses, saloons, food shops, or day-laborers. Someone pulls rickshaw or auto rickshaw. A large number of them produce sewing or handcuffs.

Many of the Biharis, the new generation of Biharis, do not want to go to Pakistan anymore. They are loves Bangladesh, which is noticed by taking their spontaneous part on Victory Day. There have been many changes in the time. Many of them have now realized their mistakes. Those who were born after 1971, they love to introduced themselves as a Bangladeshi.

Learn Why Tourists Are Asked To Spend For Pedicab Rides For Relief

By Margaret Thomas

Shortly, cycle rickshaws direct to small scale regional transportation channels. It has been named by various titles like cyclo, bike taxi, beca, trishaw, bikecab, velotaxi, becak, trisikad, and pedicab. Unlike rickshaws driven by foot, it was utilized thru pedaling. Its mechanical types are constructed to move commuters and are utilized in major places from Southeast, South, and East Asia. Initially, the first vehicle were created in the 1880s and used widely in Singapore amidst 1929. Subsequently, the pedicab San Francisco has dominated.
