Bangladesh in the Twentieth Century: A Deep-Dive into Historical Events

In light of the toppling of an elected Government led by Sheikh Hasina in the wake of the student-led agitation, Harun-or-Rashid’s Understanding Fifty Years of Bangladesh Politics is of tremendous significance. The book has anticipated many events which have disturbed the country’s social and political fabric. A well-established academician who is known for his off-the-track conceptualization of politico-ideological events, Rashid provides critical inputs to view Bangladesh politics in the past which also helps build a powerful conceptual template to understand the radical transformation of the language of politics in contemporary Bangladesh.
