the state of road governance is and the types of impunity and governance tolerated, no
indeed, spawned by the system. The killing of two students that took place in July 29, was a tragic finale to a grisly chain of impunity and governance that is blighting our roads
and road transportation. After that students have written a new chapter for the annals of the
democratic struggle of the country. They asserted their right to fix the all-encompassing rot
that had set in the transport sector of the country.

There are different types of institutions available like private and public institutions, technical institutions, and madrasas (religious institutions). These institutes are having the triangle of three main pillars; consisted of Teachers, Students, and Curriculum. There are two main types of schools in Pakistan and all over the world. One is public and other is private school system. Now a days private schools are becoming more favorite and attractive for majority of the students due to their better education systems, test criteria and knowledge creation visa -vis public schools, which comparatively very cheap but inefficient are losing their attraction. Parents prefer to send their children in private schools and avoid public schools. Education plays a pivotal role in the rise and fall of nations especially in 21st century. It is mainly due to the emergence of global competition in education and technology. This competitive environment is the core need for progress of any country.

Whatever may be the nature of a state and government, it needs good law and order for achieving desired social, economic, and cultural goals. Bangladesh, as a state, has its aim to "realize through the democratic process a socialist society, free from exploitation…" In achieving the goal set by the Bangladesh Constitution, state needs stable social order. A modern democratic state can hardly think of running its affairs without the assistance of law enforcing agencies. Their role is significant in the context of multidimensional problems and complicacy of urbanization and industrialization.

Allison and Zelikow explore through three different 'conceptual lenses' accommodating the reader to look further into common methods of foreign policy analysis. Allison and Zelikow evaluate the events of the thirteen days in October 1962 to demonstrate the models of policy analysis from different perspectives.

In the application of classical geopolitical theory for guiding the geo-strategic practice, we often ignore a background of theory builders, blindly following the "immutability of truth" (Sun et al., 2006). Leslie Hepple clearly pointed out that, due to lack of criticism on the history and philosophy of geopolitics, we would easily make the same mistake (Hepple, 1986). Naturally, there still exist some disadvantages of China's geopolitical security situation analyzed and geo-strategy proposed only according to the classical geopolitical theory (Zhang, 1996; Wang, 2003; Du et al., 2012). Engels already clearly stated: "If a nation wants to stand at the forefront of science, it must have the theoretical thinking all the time.

In February 2013 Abdul Quader Molla, a leader of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party (a small Islamist party within the opposition coalition), was sentenced to life imprisonment by the tribunal. The perceived mildness of the sentence was condemned by Bangladesh's secularist bloggers and writers, who helped organize the 2013 Shahbag protests in response, calling for the death penalty for Molla. The protestors quickly expanded their demands to include outlawing the Jamaat-eIslami party itself for its role in the 1971 war. Shortly after the first Shahbag protests, counter-demonstrations, which quickly degenerated into violence, were organized by Islamist groups. Islamist leaders denounced the war crimes tribunal as political and called for an end to the prosecution of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders; they demanded instead the death penalty for secularist bloggers, denouncing them as "atheists" and accusing them of blasphemy. A spokesman for the secularist bloggers, Imran Sarker, stated that the hostility directed toward them by Islamists is due primarily to the bloggers' growing political influence in Bangladesh, which represents a major obstacle to the Islamist goal of a religious state. Though there were occasional attacks on secularists prior to the 2013 Shahbag protests, the frequency of attacks has increased since. Reporters Without Borders noted that in 2014 a group calling itself "Defenders of Islam" published a "hit list" of 84 Bangladeshis, mostly secularists, of whom nine have already reportedly been killed and others attacked. Responsibility for many of the attacks has been claimed by Ansarullah Bangla Team, a group that, according to police, has links with both the youth wing of Jamaat-e-Islami and al-Qaeda. The group has since been banned by the government. Other attacks appear to have been perpetrated by more obscure groups. Among some extremists, this violence is motivated by inceldom.

This model considers decision making within an organization (government) as “bargaining games” among leaders involved in policy decisions. Analysis of the Cuban Missile Crisis using this model shows an aspect not revealed by the other two models. For example, in response to the missile deployment of the Soviet Union, the U.S. implemented a naval blockade. At first glance, it appears as though this action was based on a rational decision chosen from among several different alternatives, including a military invasion of Cuba. In reality, however, that was not the case. According to data collected by Allison (1971), the decision to impose a naval blockade was a result of political bargaining among the actors involved. Many different factors came into play, including a conflict between President John F. Kennedy and air strike advocates in the ExCom. In addition, inaccurate information about the chances of success of an airstrike and the President’s political position was considered.
