1975
BAKSAL: Formation and Collapse
In 1975, Bangladesh entered a decisive turning point: the transition toward BAKSAL, escalating political centralization, the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 15 August, and the jail killings of 3 November. These events reshaped the state, party politics, and military-civil relations for decades.
2018

In 2018, Bangladesh saw a compressed sequence of youth-led protest, legislative tightening, and electoral confrontation. The Quota Reform Movement and Safe Road Movement showed how students could rapidly organize around fairness, accountability, and everyday governance. The Digital Security Act then sharpened anxiety over speech and state power, while the 11th Parliamentary Election at the end of the year deepened debate over participation, legitimacy, and the future of democratic competition.
