How many of those injured during the July-August uprising, like Abdullah, are still fighting for their lives?
The video, which is on the mass uprising of July-August 2024, has been sent from the Chief Adviser's Office
Bangladesh’s interim government (IG) has taken critical steps towards stabilising the country and signalling a new direction.
The government is set to incorporate content on the student-led uprising into school textbooks for the 2025 academic year.
The BNP’s stance, which shifted from initially aligning with the students to later portraying the president as a stabilising figure, could risk dissipating the transformative potential of this “moment.”

These martyred students achieved more in the years that they lived than many of us would do in decades.

Why should we use this symbol of destruction to remember the movement?
Politicians need to start understanding that the loud, unnecessary, intrusive politics that we know today needs to become the politics of the past.
Now that the dust is starting to settle down, there are growing calls for reforms across the nation.
New laws or even constitutions will not change the political settlement if the rules are not followed
