The Rohingya: A Perceived Security Threat and the Dominant Issue in Bangladesh–Myanmar Relations
The long history of persecution of the Rohingya minority is evident in three major instances of forced mass migration, most notably in 2017 when large‐scale violence, perpetrated by the Tatamdaw, forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee Rakhine State into Bangladesh. Bilateral tensions simmering over this issue were brought to the multilateral table in 2015, when Rohingya fled Myanmar across the Bay of Bengal seeking refuge in Southeast A…
How Autocrats Rise: Sequences of Democratic Backsliding
Securitization of the Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh
Several studies have highlighted the Rohingya refugees as a threat to the national security of Bangladesh, but very few studies have analyzed the process of securitization of the Rohingyas in the country. This paper examines the process of securitization by applying securitization theory and makes two key arguments. First, contrary to the studies which presented the securitization of Rohingyas in Bangladesh as a recent phenomenon, we argue that t…
The pathway of democratic backsliding in Bangladesh
In the past decade Bangladesh has witnessed incremental, yet consequential decline of democracy. Two consecutive rigged elections in 2014 and 2018, adoption of legal measures to restrict freedom of expression, increasing occurrences of extrajudicial killings and allegations of infringing on the judiciary bear testimony to the democratic backsliding. This article traces the pathway of this backsliding. As Bangladesh's democratic journey began two …
Anatomy of a rigged election in a hybrid regime: The lessons from Bangladesh
With the global proliferation of hybrid regimes, manipulated elections are on the rise as the rulers of hybrid regimes organize elections to maintain the veneer of democracy. Yet available studies on hybrid regimes have not explored the detail mechanisms of election manipulation and the role of various institutions in the process. This article intends to address this gap through the case study of 2018 Bangladeshi election. This article examines t…

Bangladeshi Militants: What Do We Know
Although militant groups have been present in Bangladesh since the 1990s, the country catapulted to international media attention on July 1, 2016, after an attack on a café in the upscale neighborhood of the capital Dhaka. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack which killed 29 people, mostly foreigners. The attack came in the wake of a series of attacks on religious and ethnic minorities, foreigners, liberal activists, authors, a…
More Than Meets the Eye: The Narratives of Secularism and Islam in Bangladesh
This paper challenges the popular perception that Bangladesh has become the latest battleground between secularism and Islam and problematizes the simplified understanding and the binarization of religion and secularism in Bangladesh. It argues that extant discussions on the one hand overlooks the historical background of the interactions of religion and while on the other hand, it ignores the extant multiplicity of both Islamic practices and the…
Islam and identity politics among British-Bangladeshis: A leap of faith
The tendency among ethnic minority Muslim immigrant communities in Europe towards identification with Islam as a marker of identity is discussed in an array of studies, but seldom have they explained sufficiently how the change took place. Islam and Identity Politics among British-Bangladeshis: A Leap of Faith probes the causes of and conditions for the preference of the members of the British-Bangladeshi community for a religion-based identity v…

A Crisis of Democracy in Bangladesh
If the ruling party continues to marginalize the opposition, deny it the space for peaceful protest, and disregard the need for a political roadmap for moving forward, it will encourage extremists to take over
Shifting Tides in South Asia: Bangladesh’s Failed Election
The 10th Parliamentary election in Bangladesh held on 5 January 2014 produced a parliament with opposition party. The election, boycotted by the main opposition party the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), delivered a two-thirds majority to the incumbent Awami League (AL). The election result and behavior of the ruling party both pre- and post- election indicates that the future for a multi-party inclusive democratic process in Bangladesh is fac…

The new Islamist public sphere in Bangladesh
Historically, Bangladesh has a strong and culturally embedded vibrant public sphere. The Bangladeshi public sphere always consists of a multiplicity of publics. The idea of public sphere in Bangladesh was based on the idea of secular rationality or religious neutrality. However, the situation is changing; attempts are being made to create an Islamist public sphere. This paper highlights two examples of this effort to foster the Islamization of th…

Madrassah Education in Pre-colonial and Colonial South Asia
This paper traces the history of madrassahs (Islamic seminaries) in South Asia from their inception in the 12th century until the end of colonial rule in 1947. The paper argues that many of the pre-colonial rulers of South Asia, including the Mughals (1526-1857), played key roles in promoting education and providing patronage of various educational institutions, including madrassahs. The policies of British colonial rule (1757-1947), however, mad…
Constructing Outraged Communities and State Responses: The Taslima Nasreen Saga in 1994 and 2007
Taslima Nasreen, the exiled Bangladeshi author, was forced to leave India, her adopted homeland, in March 2008 after being under ‘security protection’ for months following street agitation against her writings in Kolkata. The events between August 2007, when she was physically attacked in Hyderabad, and March 2008, when she left the country, were reminiscent of those in Bangladesh in 1994 which led to her departure from there. In both instances, …
The State-Society Relationship and Political Conflicts in Nepal (1768-2005)
For nearly a decade, from the declaration of Maoist 'people's war' in January 1996 to the formation of new alliance for the restoration of democracy in December 2005, Nepal has experienced a three-way power struggle between Maoist insurgents who want a republic based on egalitarian principles, elected politicians who want an unfettered role in policy making and a monarch bent upon a return to pre-democratic Nepal. This article attempts to explain…
Bangladesh in 2005: Standing at a Crossroads
After an eventful year, Bangladesh stands at a crossroads. Islamist challenges, a crisis of governance, and the absence of the rule of law were the defining characteristics of 2005. The question Bangladeshis can hardly avoid any longer is: will the nation drag itself into a cul-de-sac
Beyond the “Tilt”: US Initiatives to Dissipate Bangladesh Movement in 1971
During the South Asian crisis in 1971, the US administration, especially the White House, stood firmly behind the Pakistani President Yahya Khan and demonstrated a disdain for India and particularly its leader Indira Gandhi. Historians and analysts have previously insisted that Pakistan's role as a conduit of rapprochement with China and Henry Kissinger's focus on geopolitical concerns greatly influenced the American policy decision in 1971. Thes…
Bangladesh in 2004: The Politics of Vengeance and the Erosion of Democracy
The year 2004 was not typical for Bangladesh; unfortunately, it was worse than usual. The country's fragile democracy suffered serious reversals. Rising political violence and religious militancy, coupled with the government's vindictive attitude and the main opposition party's intransigence, have created an unstable environment that is likely to inflict still further damage on Bangladesh's democracy
Traditional Institutions as Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh
Since 1991, salish (village arbitration) and fatwa (religious edict) have become common features of Bangladesh society, especially in rural areas. Women and non-governmental development organizations (NGOs) have been subjected to fatwas delivered through a traditional social institution called salish. This article examines this phenomenon and its relationship to the rise of Islam as political ideology and increasing strengths of Islamist parties …

Two trends in analyzing the causes of military rule in Bangladesh
For more than fifteen of the twenty-five years since its independence in 1971, Bangladesh has been dominated by either direct military rule and martial law or military rule in civilian guise. The nation has experienced at least four successful and at least seventeen abortive coups d'etat in the post-independence period

Taslima Nasrin: Breaking the structured silence
Taslima Nasrin, a thirty-two-year-old Bangladeshi feminist writer, drew international attention in October 1993 when a small religious group issued a fatwa (religious edict) sentencing her to death for her allegedly insensitive writings about Islam. The situation became further aggravated in June 1994 as Bangladeshi authorities attempted to try her on charges of blasphemy based on her "misquoted" comment regarding the Quran (Koran) in an intervie…

The role of telecommunications in economic growth: Proposal for an alternative framework of analysis
This article reviews the literature on the relationship between telecommunications and economic growth and argues that its weakness is its technocratic perspective. It then goes on to argue for an approach that does not view telecommunications as an exogenous driver of economic development, but which assesses the relationship between telecommunications and economic growth within the broader framework of global economic transformation and the loca…
