Star Literature Eid Special

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Chairman, Department of Language, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural Universi
I was very glad to find a special Eid issue of the Star Literature which contains interesting stories all translated from Bangla to English. My heartiest congratulations to your Literary Editor Khademul Islam. As gathered from his note, you had actually given the idea of bringing out this exclusive edition. Congrats to you as well! I am yet to go through all the stories but it appears that all the entries are good and interesting. I am sure this issue will greatly help in popularising the literary works of our local writers wherein they portray our own culture and living style. This issue will also assist translators learn about the art of translating matters into English. Meanwhile, I am sorry to know that none of the entries from Sylhet was qualified to get entry in this issue. Anyway, I hope that they will make up the gaps and get their works published in the next special issue of the Star Literature.
