💨 Abstract

Bangladesh is experiencing significant political turmoil ahead of upcoming elections. The recent death of Khaleda Zia has shifted power dynamics, with her son Tarique Rahman emerging as a key figure. The country faces rising fundamentalism and attacks on minorities. Rahman, returning after 17 years, aims to position the BNP as a reformist party, focusing on sovereignty and minority safety. Meanwhile, diplomatic tensions with India are escalating, with both countries summoning diplomats and shutting visas.
