From Zia’s BNP to Today’s BNP: What Has Changed?

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has crossed 48 years since its establishment. President Ziaur Rahman founded the party on September 1, 1978. Since then, the BNP has travelled a long and turbulent road. It has weathered many storms and experienced numerous ups and downs. It has been in power and remained in opposition. It has led movements and has also faced movements against it. But it would be a mistake to view the history of the BNP merely as a history of coming to power and staying out of power.

Khaleda Zia's Legacy in Politics

The greatest tribute to Khaleda Zia will be to take the difficult test of her political legacy. The answer to the question of what she left behind will not only be given by history; the future politics of the BNP will also provide it. That answer will not depend on how many times the party chants her name; it will depend on how much it can truly uphold her most important teachings—the people's vote, democracy, political freedom, and the right to resistance. Khaleda Zia has passed away. Her political chapter has ended; but her legacy is not yet over. It is now, or…

Delhi's dual policy and Dhaka's 'hard message'

Bangladesh's recent foreign ministry briefing and subsequent diplomatic developments indicate a clear shift in South Asian geopolitics. Indian representative Dinesh Babuji's sudden rushing around and his urgent meeting with Bangladesh's prime minister are not isolated incidents; rather, they are a direct effect of a stern and clear message given by Dhaka, going beyond long-established diplomatic conventions.

The Bangladesh That Still Remains Unfulfilled

An important context: If the aspirations of July are not realized, then the question will arise—for whom were they not fulfilled, and for whose benefit were they sidelined? If anyone is found responsible, they must bear the consequences. There will be no leniency. Why is the July Charter not being implemented? Who is opposing it? One does not need to be a political expert to find the answers. Everyone sees it, everyone knows it. Those responsible will not get off easily—the reckoning is not that simple.

The Day Fear Was Defeated

বিপ্লবের ইতিহাসে এমন কিছু মুহূর্ত থাকে, যার আগে এবং পরে দেশকে আর একই রকম দেখা যায় না। ২০২৪ সালের ১৬ জুলাই বাংলাদেশের জন্য তেমনই একটি দিন। সেদিন রংপুরে নিহত হন বেগম রোকেয়া বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের শিক্ষার্থী আবু সাঈদ। তবে প্রকৃত অর্থে সেদিন একজন মানুষের মৃত্যু হয়নি। সেদিন মৃত্যুবরণ করেছিল ভয়। জন্ম নিয়েছিল প্রতিরোধের নতুন মনোবিজ্ঞান। যেকোনো স্বৈরশাসনের সবচেয়ে বড় শক্তি অস্ত্র নয়; ভয়। মানুষকে বিশ্বাস করানো যে, রাষ্ট্রের বিরুদ্ধে দাঁড়ানো মানেই নিশ্চিত পরাজয়। প্রতিবাদ মানেই বিপদ। নীরব থাকাই নিরাপদ। দীর্ঘ সময় ধ
