Q M Jalal Khan is a professor of English teaching in the Arabian Gulf. He has a (Fulbright) MA from American University in Washington, D.C., and a PhD from New York University. The author of numerous articles and books, Dr. Khan—ever mindful of whatever concerns Bangladesh—is settled in and maintains permanent ties to North America. Under preparation by Dr. Khan is a slim postscript volume further detailing the absence of social justice and the rule of law in the one-party police and prison state under the fascistic Awami regime and its Indianization of Bangladesh.

“Q M Jalal Khan made a serious intellectual effort to uncover the truth and justice behind Bangladesh being ruled by a brutal regime. Although politically sensitive (as it contests the current regime widely known for trampling democracy and for massive human rights abuse), Khan’s work is a phenomenal contribution and hence is likely to have a wide marketability.” —Md Saidul Islam, Professor of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
