In Bangladesh, weeks of protests against a quota system for government jobs turned into a broad uprising that forced the Prime Minister to flee the country and resign. Student demonstrations demanding quota reform that began in July and ended in early August of 2024 ultimately descended into great chaos and a bloody political revolution.
This is perhaps the first book to analyze the causes and consequences of the fall of Hasina's government in Bangladesh in a popular uprising triggered by student protests. This book also examines the essence of the quota movement and how it influenced in the current political climate and regime change of Bangladesh, a democratic nation that is experiencing uncertain political future. Towards the end of the book, there are certain questions that could be relevant to Bangladesh's political trajectory.
