it should be a crime to mention/talk about bangladesh without mentioning the only bangladeshi in this place lmao
anyway, i saw this on facebook from "nutshell today" the other day, so uhhh, yeah. 😐
1 billion really isn't much to develop a country though, so idk why yunus is doing this shit while minorities are under attack.
also, no idea on what "economic reforms" they need to make as this country was already capitalist as it is. the "peoples republic" part is a lie.
also also, the previous PMs already did great job at ravaging this country anyway, so idk what new is there to ravage. under the hasina government the ministers (as well as herself) pretty much took money from the treasury and sent them out of this country. ironic, as they wouldn't let us do the same thing. all options to send money into this country but good luck sending any out of this country. it's suspicious that we're $63B in debt right now after she left when hasina took $64B in loans. where did that loaned money go?
then there's also this
just saying, bangladesh was doomed from the start the moment mujibor rahman became a megalomaniac and didn't let the rightful prime minister (tajuddin ahmed) get into power.
A few days late, but do you happen to have any recommendations for books and/or sources for learning about Bangladeshi history and recent politics? Bengali sources are fine; I can read some bangla.
Hi! Sorry I was late to get back to you. I was asking around other Bangali Communists to see if they had any book recommendations of their own as well (and to check if my recommendations thus far were fine). After talking with them, this is the list of books that I'd recommend to read regarding the History and Politics of our country:
Bangladesh flagged ones (🇧🇩) are Bangla Language sources, while UK flagged ones are English Language sources. But I'd still recommend reading all of them, if you can read Bangla.
Just a note:
But all three of them are still a must-read to figure out how Mujib and his daughter, Hasina were like.
JASOD er Utthan Poton goes on about the Rise and Fall of JASOD - the first political party to come out of Liberated Bangladesh. It used to be a part of Sheikh Mujib's then-Awami League, but because Mujib would keep neglecting them for the more yes man-y faction of the Awami League, they departed from the Awami League to form their own party. "JASOD" btw, stands for JAtiyo ShOmajtantrik Dal. In english this would mean "National Socialist Party", if the nazis didn't ruin this term for everyone. No, JASOD isn't a fascist party. They really are socialist as they say.
BNP: Shomoy o Oshomoy goes on about how BNP - the Bangladesh Nationalist Party - came into being. BNP is the second most popular political party over here, the first one used to be BAL.
I'd also recommend researching about Ershad and Jatiyo Party, as he murdered Ziaur Rahman to get into power. He ruled this country for 8 years straight before a student-led mass movement happened in the 90s to get him off the throne.
Thanks! I'll go through these.
