Thnx Shubhajit: it's an intense 2+ hrs with you | your colleagues at Express in my final days in #India. And, I survived all your googlies! All the eighteen months in Delhi, tried to delve deeper, in shared interests😊, as all our earlier conversations may suffice. #Bangladesh

Sharp and insightful. Exclusive @IndianExpress Enjoyed moderating the Idea Exchange session with Bangladesh's outgoing high commissioner M Riaz Hamidullah @hamidullah_riaz Do read indianexpress.com/article/id…

Last evening, signed off as 🇧🇩 High Commissioner to India. Ended an eighteen month stint (April '25 - Oct '26), marked with times/episodes like hardly ever before (as most noted). Such were times that would fit into an examination of '#diplomacy in crisis' (without marked conflict). Yet, ... It's mostly a solitary walk. On most occasions, 'briefs' or (previous) precedents would hardly suffice/suggest. My limited experience merely asked me to keep walking regardless of what naysayers may say and populate the space, to touch #people and their mindscape. Just no grand scheme. Looking back, "there's no dull day", as @CSDR_India | @IndiasWorld_mag headlined (May '26). This morning, feels like, I survived many intense episodes when I risked being mis-understood. For me as a diplomat, it's testing endurance | patience | composure yet being able to ask/plea all to hold on the shared space for 🇧🇩 🇮🇳 ordinary people, in shared interests. Yes, its easier said than done. But, irrespective of views one is sovereign to, must pledge to, given the shared agro-ecology we belong to, forever tied to. I thank scores of friends who quietly lend their shoulders (or may be, believed in my 'two cents'). @MEAIndia @bdhc_delhi

Riaz Hamidullah tried his very best in trying circumstances. Made countless friends and will be missed. All the best to him for his next assignment.

We were honoured to welcome the outgoing High Commissioner of Bangladesh to India, H.E. Mr. M Riaz Hamidullah (@hamidullah_riaz), to RIS for an interaction with RIS faculty members. We deeply value the opportunity to engage with him despite his busy schedule. The discussion explored avenues for strengthening India-Bangladesh cooperation in trade, investment, agriculture, food value chains, higher education and people-to-people exchanges. It also focused on the potential to deepen trade and economic ties between the two countries. As the High Commissioner concludes his tenure in India to take up his new assignment, we extend our best wishes for his future endeavours. @bdhc_delhi | @MEAIndia | @SKSharma_World | @RajanRatna | @Prabir_India | @sujeetsamaddar | @rakeshkhar | @sabya_saha | @pdash76 | @PV_Chat | @AmitK_PhD | @susheco | @GaurPankhuri | @amolbaxi @monika_koc56097 | @SarinNS1 | @amitdasvaranasi | @cmec_ris | @DakshinNews | @AIC_aseanindia | @fitm14 | @fisd19 | @FIDC_NewDelhi

On 30 September 2026, India Foundation hosted a farewell in honour of H.E. M. Riaz Hamidullah, High Commissioner of Bangladesh to India, marking the conclusion of his tenure. We extend our sincere appreciation for his contributions to bilateral ties, and wish him continued success.

Best wishes @hamidullah_riaz … you will be missed in New Delhi. You walked into an incredibly fraught situation and calmed down many crises with a smile. The quintessential professional diplomat…

Congratulations @hamidullah_riaz on an eventful and successful tenure at a difficult time. Well done! And all success in your next assignment. Bhalo thakben, dekha hobey @natstrat_org

With the outgoing #Bangladesh High Commissioner to India, dear friend, Excellency @hamidullah_riaz who served in New Delhi with considerable distinction. During his 18-month stint, Ambassador Riaz was friendly, accessible and proactive in improving #Indo #Bangla ties. He will be remembered and missed badly. An alumnus of the Aligarh Muslim University, Ambassador Riaz has left an indelible impression in everyone’s heart, he will be missed. Wishing him good health and all success on his new assignment.

India's loss is Geneva's gain...come back soon, Riaz bhai!

As HE @hamidullah_riaz leaves New Delhi for Geneva, I had the privilege of meeting him. He was known as the most accessible High Commissioner in Delhi, and was willing to have a frank conversation with everyone. I was very grateful to finally meet him. @diplomacy4bd @ihcdhaka

Over the ages, #Bangladesh has seen arrival of mystic minstrels, called '_Bauls_'. Generations have adored their timeless lyrics. Their voices keep nourishing people's mindscape in the largest delta with #music | rhythm. Melodies soothe souls beyond borders. Their songs find new meaning over time. Quietly yet firmly Bauls draw #people of all distinctions, celebrating syncretism. Unleashing empathy, harmony, togetherness. In one indivisible frame. Invisibly. ___________________ বাংলাদেশ তো শুধু নদীমাতৃক নয়, বাউলদের কণ্ঠে সুরে মেতে থাকা এই উর্বর ভূমি সুরমাতৃক। গানমাতৃক। এখানে তাই পথে পথে সুর ভেসে চলে, আপন আনন্দে গান এখানে খুঁজে নেয় আপন ঠিকানা। গানের, সুরের এই প্রাণের দেশে আমরা মেতে উঠি একসাথে, সম্প্রীতির এক তালে। __________________ सदियों से, #बांग्लादेश में 'बाउल' कहे जाने वाले रहस्यमयी गायकों का आगमन होता रहा है। पीढ़ियों से लोगों ने उनके सदाबहार गीतों को पसंद किया है। उनकी आवाज़ें संगीत और लय के ज़रिए दुनिया के सबसे बड़े डेल्टा में रहने वाले लोगों के मन को समृद्ध करती रही हैं। उनकी धुनें सरहदों के पार भी रूह को सुकून देती हैं। समय के साथ उनके गीतों के नए अर्थ सामने आते हैं। बाउल चुपचाप लेकिन मज़बूती से अलग-अलग पृष्ठभूमि के लोगों को एक साथ लाते हैं और मिली-जुली संस्कृति का जश्न मनाते हैं। वे बिना दिखे ही सहानुभूति, सद्भाव और एकता का भाव जगाते हैं। एक अटूट बंधन में। #India #culture ____________ This is the ninth/last in a series of animation conceptualised/produced by @bdhc_delhi over past one yr to underline pluralism and syncretism in Bangladesh, thanks to a group of young animators.
