Why are so many of us PhD holders blind?


One of our weak physics teachers asked me out of curiosity about my PhD degree, sir, what did you do your PhD with? Sir got very angry. Rege said, 'What do you mean by PhD? Have you done a PhD? ' Later another teacher told me he had a PhD on family planning. The teacher could not teach properly, but he also had a PhD! What good is a physics teacher? Now he preaches Waz. Extremely bigoted and reactionary people. Many keep in touch with him. He has a good hand at the upper level. Allama Dr. Shamsher Ali Sir is also a very pious man. He spoke on behalf of the Quantum Method. Many give their example. You see, even though he was a physics teacher, he rejected evolution with hatred. I have already mentioned the anti-evolution of another of our biology teachers, Gazi Ajmal Sir.

A few years ago, there was a rumour that the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) was stepping in to catch fake doctoral degree holders. The company is working to bring not only degree holders but also those involved in the trade under the law. As per the Department of Inspection and Audit, about eight and a half thousand people in the country have obtained fake doctorate degrees from various domestic and foreign institutions. Many of them are working in various government and non-government organizations. The ACC has already sought information from the Department of Inspection and Audit (DIA) of the Ministry of Education. The investigation team of the ACC will take the help of the Ministry of Education, University Grants Commission and various public universities to assist in the investigation. There was no opportunity to read the news of the investigation. However, I understand that these fake PhD holders have to constantly complain to the supernatural powers so that they are not caught in this life. You are also the owner of protection. They have to be superstitious. On top of that, if some fundamentalist organizations can be involved, they will also play a role in protection.

The investigation committee has found evidence of plagiarism in several research articles by Samia Rahman, an associate professor in the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism at Dhaka University, and Syed Mahfuzul Haque Marjan, a lecturer in the Department of Criminology. When these are published, Samia Rahman is cracking her throat in various ways. He is pointing a finger at a woman and claiming all the conspiracies. I just thought of the proverb, 'The big throat of the thief's mother.' Another professor at Dhaka University (DU) has been accused of stealing research papers. The accusation is the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor. Towards Sadeka Halim. University Vice-Chancellor Prof. to form an investigation committee to investigate the incident. Teachers of several public universities have demanded Akhtaruzzaman. They lodged the complaint with the vice-chancellor on Wednesday (March 3). Professor with a letter of complaint. Evidence of Sadeka Halim's 'shelter of theft' was also given. Last year, Abul Kalam Lutful Kabir, an associate professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Dhaka University (DU), obtained a 'doctorate' degree through a 96 per cent duplicate PhD research thesis. In the last three years, many incidents of such fraud have been reported in the newspapers only against the teachers of Dhaka University.

Also yesterday, a column was published in Prothom Alo titled 'What shall we do with the PhD of forgery'. There is no benefit in taking this PhD, but we are in a lot of trouble with the PhD holders. They always use the degree and throw us into a big mess. They want to say, 'Miracles are all', 'Absolute truth is the ultimate', 'Science is hidden in ancient scriptures', 'Everything in science has come from there'. Hearing this, the blind believers jumped up and said, 'Hey, look, the PhD holder has said!' We ordinary people are in dire straits at the hands of these fake PhD holders.

On March 13, the daily Kalerkantha wrote an investigative report titled 'Research full of PhD fraud in money'. The response has been made after finding evidence of forgery in the research of teachers in several universities of the country including Dhaka University. In most cases, there are allegations of theft. Lincoln Higher Education and Management located at 60 / A / 1 Siddheswari Circular Road at Malibagh intersection of the capital. PhD and Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) degrees are awarded from this institute. They are giving a PhD degree from American Independent University for four lakh rupees. They also offer PhD degrees from several other universities, including the University of Green Wise in Malaysia and Lincoln University in London. He will have to spend more money for it. Classes are held every Friday from 4pm to 6:30 pm for the first four months of admission. The institution guarantees a PhD degree in two years.

The quality of our education has been questioned many times. Hundreds of universities and numerous PhD holders but in the global knowledge index 2020, Bangladesh's position is below that of Bhutan!

According to the media, there are more than 5,000 fake PhDs at present. Again, because of them, it has been possible to build a social ideology against science education in the country. They constantly speak in favor of superstition, giving foolish blind believers a chance to jump. Superstitious people think how many PhDs are in their favor. Suppressing them is also necessary for real PhD degree holders.
