What it actually is
The highest-circulation Bengali daily, and the natural next step after BBC Bangla: longer pieces, more idiom, less accommodation for a non-native reader. Its YouTube channel runs audio news bulletins, which are useful listening precisely because they are read at native speed. Expect a lot of Bangladeshi political vocabulary before you expect general fluency.
