Are We Rich Yet?

Bangladesh celebrates 50 years of independence in 2021. This site marks that golden anniversary with a collection of writings about what it has meant for Bangladesh to grow into its independence. Some of the pieces tell stories from the disastrous 1970s, while others reflect on what it means to get rich, and on the way we live now.
