distinct strands of nationalisms

As two distinct strands of nationalisms remained a durable feature of Bangladesh society; Bangladesh’s politics came to be defined by intense bipolarity between 1991 till 2008. A two-party system prevailed, with the Awami Leage (AL), led by Sheik Hasina, Mujibur’s daughter, and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Begam Khaleda Zia, Zia-ur’s widow. With the post-2008 Hasina regime being characterized by rapid democratic backsliding – including, election malpractice, judicial harassment, forced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, intimidation of media and civil society organizations, punitive practices against opposition voices, null cases against Khaleda Zia and activist Muhammad Yunus, packing courts with loyalists and corruption. สล็อต
