I had no idea when it was published. Wish I had worked with the translator to clarify some of the things that he did not fully understand. One such spot was the mention of Dr. Saleem H. Ali's study on Pakistani madrassahs sponsored by U. S. Institute of Peace.
The Assoc. editor of SAMAKAL tells me that the U. S. Embassy telephoned the paper enquiring about the article. I imagine it was about this information on USIP and its extensive work on Pakistani madrassahs that the Embassy was not aware of. Serves them right! Now they have to balance between the heavy weight of the USIP studies and the light weight lies of the World Bank report on the 'goodness' of Bangladeshi madrassahs.
There is serious business going on behind the scene, folks!
