Abstract

The article focuses on the political turmoil in Bangladesh following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's exile to India amid widespread protests against her government. Hasina faces serious charges, including crimes against humanity and corruption, while the interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, struggles with human rights abuses and political instability. The political landscape remains divided between the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), with rising concerns over fundamentalist movements threatening women's rights and democratic progress. Despite initial hopes for reform, the interim government's slow pace and ongoing repression have left Bangladesh in a precarious situation, caught between its tumultuous past and uncertain future.
