The book “Bela-o-belar katha” illustrates the challenges faced by students and researchers in securing academic employment through equitable means in Bangladesh. Teacher recruitment in Bangladesh is consistently skewed and does not rely on merit, publications, or citations, which leads to a lack of qualified educators and perpetuates systemic inequalities in the education system. A gifted child, hounded by the socially unethical conventional system, exemplifies this book in the absence of specialized corner help, highlighting how systemic barriers can hinder talented individuals from achieving their potential in academic employment.
