Rezwan

RezwanBorn in Bangladesh in the port city of Chittagong and raised in the mega city of Dhaka, RELATIVITY OnLine’s newest contributor is simply known as Rezwan.  Growing up in an urban sprawl that reaches nearly thirteen million souls, the crowded, tough and dirty streets of Dhaka forged a man of principle and realism. He later left his home country for Europe, which included several years of study in Germany. He has since relocated once again, this time to Indonesia, where he now calls Jakarta home. A business executive who has worked with local conglomerates and multinational companies, Rezwan describes writing as the ultimate freedom of expression, which he in turn feels is a fundamental cog in the wheel of our own humanity. Like so many others, he sees the mainstream media as having lost much of its importance, especially in the foreign correspondent front, because citizen media is providing a much wider context and deeper perspectives. Rezwan is the current regional editor of Global Voices Online South Asia division and runs his own intriguing blog entitled The 3rd World View

RELATIVELY Speaking

  • ANNOYING SAUDI A prominent Saudi human rights activist detained for more than a month is being investigated for allegedly “annoying others” with his online essays that criticise government officials and Saudi religious scholars. God Bless Saudi Arabia.
  • CHINA BANS SOLDIERS FROM BLOGGING OF ANY KIND A new regulation prohibits the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from creating websites or blogs, citing confidentiality concerns. God Bless the Chinese Control Freaks and their ever-loving paranoia.
  • GRAB YOUR BONG While California confirmed its state’s marijuana legalization initiative would be on the November ballot months ago, the state has now assigned proposition numbers to this year’s slate of initiatives. Get used to hearing about Proposition 19.
  • THE WHITE MIDDLE CLASS DONT HAVE SEX A sexual malaise appears to have sunk over American White People. But to what extent do these complaints about sexual apathy reflect medical reality, and how much do they emanate from the anxious, overachieving, white upper middle class? Say What?
  • YOU'RE NOT JEWISH?! A Jerusalem court made legal history by jailing a delivery man from East Jerusalem. A Palestinian, the man was convicted of rape after having consensual sex with an Israeli woman who believed he was Jewish because he said his name was Daniel.
