The year 2024 passed through political instability and anxiety. In July-August, the largest mass uprising in Bangladesh's history took place, leading to the fall of the long-standing autocracy, corruption, and the criminalization of the Awami League. The impact of the uprising was felt not only in politics, economy, business, and sports but also in art, literature, and culture.
