A long way to go: in revolution’s wake, questions linger over direction of the new Bangladesh
Following the collapse of Sheikh Hasina's regime, Bangladesh is undergoing a significant political transition led by an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus. The revolution, sparked by university students and supported by various societal groups, has led to a temporary government tasked with implementing democratic reforms. Despite optimism, challenges remain, including economic instability, the need for institutional reforms, and concerns over the interim government's duration. The Bangladesh National Party, poised to gain power in future elections, supports the transition but is wary of prolonged interim governance. The situation remains fluid, with potential for unrest if reforms stall.

Khaleda Zia’s sentence a ‘political ploy’: Lord Carlile
The imprisonment of Khaleda Zia, leader of Bangladesh's main opposition party, is described by UK lawyer Lord Alex Carlile as a politically motivated act lacking sufficient evidence. Carlile argues that the government aims to prevent Zia from campaigning in the upcoming elections. Zia and her son Tarique Rahman were convicted of embezzling funds meant for the Zia Orphanage Trust. The BNP's participation in the December elections hinges on Zia's release and a fair voting process. Bangladesh's law minister declined to comment on Carlile's allegations, while previously criticizing the BNP for hiring him.

Non-Fiction: Points of Departure
The book 'Towards Peoples’ Histories in Pakistan: (In)audible Voices, Forgotten Pasts' edited by Asad Ali and Kamran Asdar Ali, challenges traditional historiography in Pakistan by highlighting diverse and often overlooked voices. It explores the history of leftist politics, the impact of the 1971 Bangladesh civil war, and the experiences of marginalized communities, including Baloch women and the queer community. The book critiques the exclusion of women in political hierarchies and the cultural hegemony established during Gen Ziaul Haq's regime. While it contributes significantly to the academic literature on Pakistan's history, it notes the absence of sportsmen's narratives in the post-Partition era.

Sheikh Hasina: Daughter of democracy and her boat in troubled water
As Bangladesh approaches its general election in January 2024, tensions rise around the incumbent Awami League, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Despite significant socio-economic progress, the administration faces accusations of corruption and human rights violations. The opposition, led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), demands an inclusive caretaker government for fair elections. The US has imposed visa restrictions on Bangladeshi officials, increasing pressure on Hasina. The BNP, skeptical of the election process, risks political irrelevance if it continues to boycott elections. The political landscape remains fraught with challenges, including economic management, corruption, and maintaining democratic integrity.

Fight against Islamic terror may help Sheikh Hasina retain power
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's strong stance against violent extremism and her government's socio-economic achievements are key factors that may help her retain power. The Awami League's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism, including the prosecution of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, has garnered public support. Despite a relatively united opposition, the economic growth and infrastructure projects under Hasina's leadership, such as the Padma River railroad bridge, bolster her position. The political landscape is dominated by the rivalry between Hasina and Khaleda Zia, with the latter facing significant legal challenges. Young voters will play a crucial role in the upcoming elections.
