(As a handy source, you may easily depend on Wikipedia) The questions i had to face in the Viva Board of 3 persons (Chairman. Ms. Farida Adeeb Khanam) All the questions except the 25th were asked in Bangla; so i had to answer the questions except the 25th in Bangla. Introductory part What is your name? What is your district? What is your discipline for Honours? Categorically brief us on you education life. What are you doing now? When have you completed your Masters? State your Cadre serial. Substantive Part 1st question: Who is Kautilya? 2nd: There is a key statement in the Kautilyas Orthoshastro about Foreign Policy. What is that? 3rd: What is the core philosophy of Bangabandhus Foreign Policy, which underpins the Article 25 of the Bangladesh Constitution? 4th: What is NAM? 5th: When was NAM established? 6th: There were five world leaders at that time, who spearheaded the establishment of NAM. You have to mention these five names with their respective countries. 7th:NAM works based on one key philosophy. What is that? 8th: What was the role of China in the formation of NAM? 9th: Why was the role of china in the formation of NAM positive? 10th: Have you ever heard the name of Zhou Enlai? Who was he? Brief us on him. 11th: What was the role of the then USSR in the formation of NAM? 12th: You know that China and the USSR were close friends during that time; even they had similar Politico-economic structure. Prior to that the USSR actively helped this Communist leaders in their bid to oust the then rulers of China and successfully be at the helm of the state after revolution. But, as you have told, the role played by the USSR during the formation of NAM was opposite to that of China. You have to say what the main reason is-Just the core one. 13th:You have talked about the Soviet Revisionism as the core reason for that rift in the relations between this two countries, could you elaborate on the Soviet Revisionism? 14th:Who was the President of the USSR at the time of the Soviet Revisionism? 15th: What was the role of Leon Trotsky in the formation of NAM? 16th:What is the name of the latest independent state of the world? 17th: What is the total number of the independent states in the world? 18th: What is Seven Sisters? 19th: Tell the names of the Seven Sisters? 20th:Which of the states of India is hosting the Tipaimukh Dam? 21th: Which river the Dam is being built on? 22th: Define Land Locked Countries. 23th: Mention two Land Locked Countries? 24th: Mention two Land Locked Countries outside South Asia. (Since i referred to Bhutan and Nepal!!) Describe the boundary of Bangladesh. 25th: Categorically brief us on the main events of Bangladeshs history of liberation war starting from 1948 to 1971 in English. I could not answer the questions no.2nd & 15th (Even today i dont know the answer of the 15th since Trosky died long before the formation of NAM--in 1940) I have confined my suggestions only to the area, from which the questions may be asked because of your extreme eagerness to flag the interests of Bangladesh abroad. Having said so, i would suggest you to focus on your Discipline, History of Bangladesh, Liberation war of Bangladesh, Basic information on Bangladesh, as you take stock of during your Preliminary Exam. In the end, if you have any suggestion, drop me a line.I hope that with your dedication and patience, you will come up with flying colors. --Courtesy: Sabuj Ahmed ভাইয়া। (সহকারী পররাষ্ট্র সচিব)
