Inquilab Zindabad? (Summary pamphlet)

How should we analyse the Interim Government in power after the downfall of Sheikh Hasina?

How we can we make sense of the cultural shifts in the country since August '24?

Why could the movement not effect a deeper transformation of Bangladesh?

In August 2024, the people of Bangladesh defied all expectations to overthrow the violently repressive government of Sheikh Hasina. However a year on it is clear that there is no immediate prospect of a radical break with political or economic orthodoxies in Bangladesh, with the country's political landscape instead being marked by rejuvenation of the Centre and a rehabilitation of the Right, under the auspices of Muhammad Yunus's thoroughly neoliberal Interim Government.

This FAQ-style pamphlet covers our assessment of the new student-led party, the role of Jamaat-e-Islami and other reactionary forces during and after the uprisings, and the rise in vigilantism and backlash against Sheikh Mujib.
