COVER PACKAGE  --  LOOKING BANGLADESH IN THE EYE

As Bangladesh readies itself for elections in January, several questions
come to mind: Will the polls provide release from political confusion, or
drag the country further into the deltaic mud? Is the system of 'caretaker
government' during elections all that it is made out to be? Himal's cover
package also analyses the strengths of Bangladesh that we feel will carry it
through the rough times ahead. Articles:
* Corrupted democracy - Liz Philipson
* The crippled caretaker - Ali Riaz
* When we dead awaken - Rubana
* Photo Feature: Looking the Urdu-speaking Bihari in the eye
* Bangladesh the powerful - Editorial

on Bombay:
