In this research article a will be specifically focused on the Rawlsian deontological liberalism i.e. the "Priority of right over the good." It is to be observed to explore the thesis of right/good contrast in which priority is ordained to right. This deontological outlook itself seems to have been ontologically designed. Since, the liberal deontological thesis; the priority of right over the good is questioned in its exposition. In addition, priority of right over the good is nothing more than a greater good in liberal political conception of justice as fairness. In above connection, in this article the various aspects of theory of justice as fairness would be discussed. It is generally believed that Rawls has retreated from the universality of liberalism. He reconsiders his earlier position on the universality of Liberalism, In this regard, he realizes that his standpoint should have been historicist and anti-universalistic. Thus Rawls tries to establish compatibility between his theory of justice as fairness and that of socio-political and economic institutions of liberal political society such as United Silas of America.

We would philosophically analyze the underlying foundations of right in the metaphysical morality of Kant and that empirical and sociological inclination of Rawls towards Kantian conception of person. We believe that Rawls shifts from the Kantian conception of person which is a transcendental self. However, he does not altogether detach himself with the project of deontological ethics i.e. priority of right over the good. If we critically analyze the Rawlsian methodology of deontological ethics, we may scrutinize ontological reasons or grounds beyond his deontological ethics. Central theme of the moral theory is that of the theory of person. We must critically analyze the Kantian perspective on the deontological ethics. In this article we would excavate the fact that liberalism prioritizes a particular conception of good, which is higher good of liberal political society. It has priority over all other moral comprehensive doctrines, which is contradiction of deontological liberalism e.g. priority of right over the good. In the same realm of reasoning, it would emerge that Rawlsian Liberalism confines theory of justice to only liberal societies. In this way, this theory is not cross-culturally applicable and would only regulate liberal societies at large. We would discuss that super powers have lost their credibility to teach constitutional democracy to the non-liberal world under this theory which restrains deontological ethics as culturally specific and historically determined.

e-Governance is considered as one of the most significant procedure to get the full benefits of IT and to spread the advantages of IT around the country. Technologically the concept of e-Governance is simple but it has great power to involve the Information Technology for changing the society. Bangladesh government has been gradually implementing e-governance around the country since 2001 but most of this implementation is city centered, so rural people are not getting the benefits of e-governance for many problems. In my paper I have tried to focus the reasons for not getting the benefits of e-governance of rural people and provided a model of e-governance for the rural people of Bangladesh so that they can get the benefit of e-governance.

Under influence of globalization regional boundaries seem to be melted with the hands of migrants and pave the integration process. Ideally integration occur through voluntary linking in the economic and political domains of two or more formerly independent states to the extent that authority over key areas of national policy is shifted towards the supra-national level. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of South China is unique as its status transformed from an international boundary between the UK and the People's Republic of China (PRC) to an internal boundary inside China under 'one country-two systems' in 1997. Cross-border migration between Hong Kong and the PRD can be seen as the discourse of dependant development. Contrary to the contribution of migrants through spontaneously locating and relocating themselves across border with their social and entrepreneurial interplay in history, governments responded selectively to cross-border issues While most research emphasize economic and political aspects, analysis into the migration history reveals that integration in the PRD region is a unique form of 'inter-dependent urbanism' through the hands of temporary and permanent migrants who once happened to be separated by force, are merging in the same nation-state recently. This subtly perceived trend of urbanization has scope to achieve sustainability of the region.

"This book explains the macro-drivers of growth behind the economic development of Bangladesh. Few countries in the developing world have shown as exciting a promise of economic prosperity as Bangladesh. The promising nature of the Bangladeshi economy raises interesting questions pertaining to whether good governance may lead to sustained economic growth. This book looks at the strategic interventions on macro-level, specifically the policy interventions. This book will be a useful reference to making sense how economic transformation can be strengthened through state-sponsored activities and how states can inculcate a culture of innovation which can be regarded as one of the underpinnings of economic growth"--

"Women, Islam and Familial Intimacy in Colonial South Asia highlights the rich tradition of protest and defiance among the Muslim women of colonial India. Bringing together a range of archival material including novels, pamphlets, commentaries and journalistic essays, it narrates a history of Muslim feminism conversing with, and confronting the dominant and influential narratives of didactic social reform. The book reveals how discussion about marriage and family evoked claims of women's freedom and rights in a highly charged literary and cultural landscape where lesser-known female intellectuals jostled for public space alongside well-known male social reformers. Definitions of Islamic ethics remained central to these debates, and the book illustrates how claims of social obligation, religious duty and freedom balanced and negotiated each other in a period of nationalism and reform. By doing so, it also illuminates a story of Muslim politics that goes beyond the well-established accounts of Muslim separatism and the Pakistan movement"--
