PROTEST IN SHAHBAG SQUARE

 UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

The protest in Shahbag Square in Dhaka in Bangladesh reveal a fundamental split in society between the nationalists and Islamic forces. What is the significance for India?



The Shahbag movement and the corresponding developments tell the story of two Bangladesh that co-exist. Bangladesh, the nation with two distinct mosaics: One a society comprising a vast majority of vibrant,egalatarian and secular individuals. It is the re-awakening of the social phenomenon or Renaissance if the liberation spirit has risen and protests against this from the other side of the divided political pysche has come up to assert because for them it is an existential question.

The war crimes of 1971 did not only impact the victims of the crimes themselves,but the whole country.The Gono Jagoron Moncho would become political platforms to represent these grievances. Gono Jagoron Moncho came to present political calls for banning all religious political parties including Jamaat-e-Islami, the banning of Jamaat directed financial organizations, Islamic banks, Ibn Sina Hospital, various private tuition centres run by Shibir-the Jamaat Youth Party, the AamarDesh newspaper as well as Diganto and Islamic TV channels.



India should be paying attention to Shahbag square because this is about more than a war crimes trial that is only relevant to bangladesh. A very important demand that youth there have put forward is demanding a ban on religion in politics. The biggest story of movement to resoundingly choose secularism over Islamic extremism is happeing in one of the world's largest Muslim democracies. In a sense Bangladesh-India relations today are almost back at the same point where we started off in 1971.
