Anti-discrimination student movement redefines political dynamics
In the recent political landscape of Bangladesh, the anti-discrimination student movement is adding a new dimension. The organization, which led the July uprising, is set to soon emerge as a new political party. The move to form this party has already heated up the political arena of the country. Although it may appear to be a student movement at first glance, its political intentions have become increasingly clear.

Why political governments ignore past contributions
In July and August, the anti-discrimination students' victory is being claimed by both the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami. While the anti-discrimination students have recognized Jamaat, they are less inclined to give credit to the BNP. As a result, occasional verbal conflicts arise between the two factions. The BNP believes that their continuous struggle against the Awami League government for 15 years was crucial; without their efforts, the fall of the Awami League government in the July-August popular uprising would not have been possible. This statement is not entirely false. On December 6, 1971, India recognized Bangladesh as an independent nation, and the direct involvement of Indian forces led to the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani soldiers on December 16, marking Bangladesh’s victory.

Brutal testimony of deadly disaster
The year, 2013, was very turbulent in the history of Bangladesh politics. At that time, the trial of crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War was going on in the country which disturbed the members of Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat along with its student wing Chhatra Shibir was continuing a series of violent programmes protesting the trial. It was in the context of this trial that 'Gonojagoron Mancha' (mass-upsurge stage) emerged at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, ahead of the national elections, the movement to restore the caretaker government was going on under the banner of the 18-party alliance led by the BNP.
