Inquilab Zindabad?: A socialist analysis of Bangladesh after the uprisings
In July and August of 2024, the people of Bangladesh defied all expectation to overthrow the violently repressive, authoritarian regime of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League. Weeks of street protests held ground against the combined violence of the police and the regime's student wing, and suffering a death toll of at least 1,400.
In the aftermath, the military-backed Interim Government has largely dissipated the radical potential of the uprising, while rightwing forces are in ascendance. But the forces that drove people into the streets remain: crushing economic conditions, social violence, and large-scale looting of public wealth. These are not isolated crises — they are the result of how capitalism is structured and sustained in Bangladesh. To chart a path forward, we must understand the system that gave rise to this moment, and how today’s political players are navigating — or upholding — it.
How should we analyse the Interim Government currently in power?How we can we make sense of the cultural shifts in Bangladesh since last August?Why could the movement not effect a deeper transformation of Bangladesh?
Come and join the Bangladesh Solidarity Group of Nijjor Manush as we launch our book answering these questions and analysing the situation in Bangladesh one year on from the uprisings.
