My new book is out. The Bangla name of the Book is Shomokamita - Ekti Boigganik O shomaj monostattik Onushondhan (Homosexuality - A scientific and socio-psychological investigation)- and it is being published by Shuddhashar. In this book, I have attempted to provide a scientific view and accessible account of homosexuality on several grounds. In the first half of my book, I explored historical and biological facts. There I tried to explain the scientific/biological bases for homosexuality, both from historical perspective and the extent to which modern science has been exploring its area of research. Homosexuality in animal kingdom and in the mankind was being seen as "puzzle" for the evolutionary biologists for a long time. This book backed by current biological and genetic research provides a new insight from Darwinian perspective to tackle the issue. In the second part, I addressed human rights issues and ongoing struggle of gay community in Bangladesh and the rest of the world. It is probably the first book in Bangla providing a detailed overview of the complexity of issues that surrounds the culture and involving the study of homosexuality. I have kept all the information about the book here: The book will be found in upcoming Bangla Academy Book fair in February, 2010. There are some important discussion going on in some Bangla blogs as well, such as Mukto-Mona: Please send the message to your friends who are interested to collect the book. The book will be found in shuddhashar stall of Bangla academy Book fair in February, 2010. I convey my gratitude towards all including you who were directly/indirectly involved with this book!
