It was the year of the Great Flood. The water rose rapidly, reaching at least one-fifth of Bangladesh's rivers — one of the nation's worst humanitarian crises in modern history. At this time, the state of emergency in place since the Bangladesh floods was in place for three decades.

But as soon as the news came out this month that the floods were over, hundreds of thousands of people were told that they were safe to return home. It's not just because the government has been so slow to respond to these tragedies. It's also because for the better part of two decades, Bangladesh's government has been quietly suppressing all kinds of information about the scale and magnitude of the disaster and blaming it on "Islamism."

In recent years, it has been difficult to tell what the government actually has to say to the public about the floods because the country is under a gag order to keep the entire population in the dark about the disaster.

It's been a very bad year, in fact, for news, journalism and education in this country.

As the author, you'll find that much of the government's efforts are being challenged through a new generation of Bangladeshi journalists who have been making a living by breaking new ground.

In an interview with The Post, I talked about why the government can't be trusted.

"The government's claim is that it is just being honest to you. And that means, if it's being honest, then it can't be lying," I said.

"All you've been told is that Bangladesh is safe because people are afraid and they're saying that they are going to take shelter at Bangladeshair or the airport when the <hurricane> has passed," I said. "We're the third or fourth country in the world. No other country wants us to have a media blackout on this."

I asked two Bangladeshi journalists, Shubabu Asrar Ali and Jitprakash Juma, both of whom had joined The Post to write for The Times of India, how they'd learned from studying the disaster.
