Lost glory
Dhaka University's main contributions are its role in the Language Movement and the Liberation War. Independent Bangladesh has turned 38. Now time has come to assess what DU had achieved under a sovereign state. Its research portfolio and indigenous and global applications of the research have to be quantified to evaluate the university's performance in an independent country. In this matter everyone will not give good marks to the university. One can remember that in the golden days of DU, Prof. S. N. Bose (1894-1974) of the Physics Department of the university modified and corrected a fluid mechanics theory of Albert Einstein, the famous physicist. The theory is called Bose-Einstein theory after the names of the two co-researchers and pen friends. The most widely accepted Internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia states:All force carrier particles are bosons. They are named after Satyendra Nath Bose. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosons). To bring back the glory of DU, teachers' recruitment, promotion etc should be based on merit. Now it is widely expected by the people that as the oldest and largest university of the country DU will soon regain its glory.
