Apart from the projects that I have undertaken at IDSA, which has supported my various publications on the subject, my interactions with experts on the subject during the Indo-Bangladesh Track II dialogue led by former High Commissioner Deb Mukharji with Centre for Policy Dialogue, offered me a window of opportunity. His unfailing patience with all my constant queries and his understanding of the subject has made me look at the issues differently and undoubtedly more comprehensively. It is a learning process, which I hope to carry with me always. Matiur Rahman, editor, Prothom Alo, who walked into IDSA one day, with my earlier book on Bangladesh in hand, sealed a bonding that I know will last a lifetime. Every conversation and discussion with him has left me that much richer and I cherish my association with him. Ambassador Debapriya Bhattacharya, has been another invaluable source of knowledge and support for me, as has Hena Farid Bhai, who has been so generous with his constant updates. If it were not for Omprakash Mishra, I would still have been only pottering around my garden. His contribution is beyond words. On many occasions I have benefitted from the counsel of B G Verghese and I will always remain indebted to him for his extreme kindness and encouragement. My thanks also to Professors S D Muni, I N Mukherji and Ajay Behera, noted columnist, Hiranmay Karlekar, and Ambassadors Veena Sikri and Pranab Mukhopadhaya for being generous with their knowledge and time. I also warmly acknowledge my friends Nitya Nanda, Dipanjan Roychoudhury and Ashis Banerjee for their support. This book is not only a reflection of Director General N S Sisodia’s persuasiveness but also of my numerous interactions at IDSA, especially ix within the South Asia cluster. My sincere thanks to all my Cluster Coordinators, especially Arvind Gupta, Lal Bahadur Shastri Chair, as well as to all my colleagues, especially Vivek Kaushik. The anonymous referees’ comments and suggestions have been truly humbling and I am eternally grateful for their thoughtfulness. The publication got its final shape with Arvind Passi’s painstaking editorial effort. Over and above, this book would never have been possible without P R Kumaraswamy, who despite his many preoccupations and commitments has given his unstinting support over the past many years which can never be repaid by mere expressions of gratitude. Thanks Kumar for being there for me always. The usual disclaimers apply, and despite the best efforts, any discrepancies are attributable solely to me. Sreeradha Datta x Introduction 1 …in the end, it was the army which capitulated and folded its hands. Ultimately, the army decided that it was neither prepared to counter the country-wide demonstrations that would doubtless have resulted from keeping the two leaders incarcerated, nor was there much support within the cantonment for a full military takeover if the political parties continued to refuse to go along. (So) when push came to shove, the army did not really have too many options but to release (Sheikh) Hasina and Khaleda (Zia) and to start the long and painful process of unravelling all that had been wrought in the previous year and a half in an effort to bring both parties to the table. – Zafar Sobhan, 20081 Fragile! This aptly sums up the status of democracy in Bangladesh. The fact that elections to the Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament) due in January 2007 were delayed by almost two years underscores the serious and inherent problems facing Bangladesh—a young nation, just into its thirty-seventh year. During this time, not only did the electoral process remain suspended, but the country also remained in a state of internal emergency. Power has oscillated between the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) following the introduction of multi-party elections in February 1991, but even this has failed to move Bangladesh towards being a fully functional democracy. The introduction of a caretaker arrangement in 1996 strengthened electoral democracy in Bangladesh to some extent, but proved inadequate when the tenure of the four-party coalition headed by Prime Minister 1 Zafar Sobhan, ‘Back to square one’, Economic and Political Weekly, vol. 43(39) 27 September 2008, pp.8-9. 1 CARETAKING DEMOCRACY Khaleda Zia came to an end in October 2006, and the country almost plunged into civil war. Until elections to the Ninth Jatiya Sangsad were held on 29 December 2008, Bangladesh remained under a caretaker arrangement. For the first ten weeks after the coalition government completed its term President Iajuddin Ahmed concurrently headed the Caretaker Government as Chief Adviser. His inability to introduce electoral reforms as demanded by the opposition group further intensified the prevailing political tension. With the election date drawing close, the Awami League-led opposition was out in the streets in full strength leading to the outbreak of countrywide protests. A modicum of political stability in Bangladesh was, however, restored on 11 January 2007 when the noted economist Fakhruddin Ahmed was appointed as head of the Second Caretaker Government (CG).2 Under his leadership, Bangladesh navigated through its worst political crisis since 1991 and held free and fair elections in December 2008 (Annexure 1). The period between January 2007 and December 2008 proved to be critical for democracy in Bangladesh. The 23-month tenure of the CG far exceeded the 90-day limit mandated by the constitution. The constitutional propriety of a number of measures taken by the CG remains uncertain. Many of its ordinances were not ratified by the Ninth Jatiya Sangsad within the stipulated 30 days after it was constituted and hence their legality is questionable. Moreover, for the entire duration of the CG, Bangladesh remained under internal emergency with most fundamental rights suspended. There were severe restrictions upon political activities and the media remained censored. A number of prominent politicians, bureaucrats and members of the business community remained incarcerated. Despite these drawbacks, the CG headed by Fakhruddin introduced a number of political reforms, far reaching anti-corruption measures and strengthened key institutions in the country. 2 Unless otherwise mentioned, CG refers to the arrangement headed by Fakhruddin Ahmed as Chief Adviser between 12 January 2007 and 6 January 2009 when Sheikh Hasina took over as Prime Minister. 2 INTRODUCTION In pursuing its reform agenda, the CG enjoyed the unqualified support of the military. Normally such an active collaboration between the military and an unelected government would have been domestically unpopular. Internationally it would have led to condemnation and isolation of Bangladesh. This did not happen. Though unable to endorse the prolonged delay in holding elections, the international community did not isolate Dhaka over its transgression of democracy. Their faith in the CG was vindicated when the elections to the Ninth Jatiya Sangsad were held on 29 December 2008 [Annexure 2]. The elections were free, fair and transparent and enjoyed universal approval and endorsement. The tenure of the CG ended when the 14-party coalition headed by Sheikh Hasina secured a landslide victory to form the government on 6 January 2009. The CG headed by Fakhruddin posed a number of challenges for Bangladesh. First and foremost, its prolongation and extra- constitutional functioning were inevitable. In the past, political parties driven by bitter personal rivalry, often paralysed the Jatiya Sangsad. Much of the opposition activities were conducted outside the parliament. On its part, the government of the day treated the opposition as enemies. Over the years principal institutions such as the Election Commission and the Judiciary had been politicised, manipulated and denuded of their credibility. Democracy in Bangladesh urgently needed a course correction and hence the Bangladeshi public tacitly accepted the large- scale suspension of fundamental rights. For a country used to frequent street protests and stoppage of work, hartal (strike) politics took a long holiday and Bangladesh largely remained free of political violence. Unlike in the past the army showed a greater degree of maturity. It was aware of public anger and their disappointment with political leaders as well as the unpopularity of direct intervention. While the country needed far reaching reforms, the army viewed itself as the instrument of change.

  • Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations
    Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Updated October 17, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44094 Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Summary Bangladesh (the former East Pakistan) is a Muslim-majority nation in South Asia, bordering India, Burma, and the Bay of Bengal. It is the world’s eighth most populous country with nearly 160 million people living in a land area about the size of Iowa. It is an economically poor nation, and it suffers from high levels of corruption. In recent years, its democratic system has faced an array of challenges, including political violence, weak governance, poverty, demographic and environmental strains, and Islamist militancy. The United States has a long-standing and supportive relationship with Bangladesh, and it views Bangladesh as a moderate voice in the Islamic world. In relations with Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, the U.S. government, along with Members of Congress, has focused on a range of issues, especially those relating to economic development, humanitarian concerns, labor rights, human rights, good governance, and counterterrorism. The Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) dominate Bangladeshi politics. When in opposition, both parties have at times sought to regain control of the government through demonstrations, labor strikes, and transport blockades, as well as at the ballot box. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been in office since 2009, and her AL party was reelected in January 2014 with an overwhelming majority in parliament—in part because the BNP, led by Khaleda Zia, boycotted the vote. The BNP has called for new elections, and in recent years, it has organized a series of blockades and strikes.

  • Party System in Bangladesh
    SUBJECT: POLITICAL SCIENCE VI COURSE: BA LLB SEMESTER V (NON-CBCS) TEACHER: MS. DEEPIKA GAHATRAJ MODULE I, BANGLADESH PARTY SYSTEM Political Historical Background of Bangladesh: Bangladesh is a densely populated country in South Asia. Roughly 60% of its population lives under the poverty level. Its geography is dominated by its low-lying riparian aspect and its population is largely Muslim. History of the role of the political parties to established good governance is rich in Bangladesh, example 1947, 1971, and 1990. Anti-colonial movements against British rule, Pakistani exploitation, militant anarchy. However, these are the single side of the reality. In recent times the ideological conflict between ruling party and the party in opposition is leading the country toward an unwanted situation which will ultimately eliminate good governance segment by segment by poisoning slowly. Most disturbing fact is that political leaders are unwilling to recognize how their actions are threatening the very fabric of democracy. The failure of the political parties to negotiate in keeping national interest threatens the future of democracy in Bangladesh. No doubt, nothing has changed since these remarks were made. In the years since independence, Bangladesh has established a reputation as a largely moderate and democratic majority Muslim country. But this status has been under threat for series of political violence, weak governance, poverty, corruption, and religious militancy. In more recent years religious and anti-religious thoughts have been vigorously pursued by the government. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and the Awami League (AL) is led by current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who traditionally have been dominating politics in Bangladesh.

  • Jatiya Sangsad: the Parliament of Bangladesh
    Jatiya Sangsad: The Parliament of Bangladesh By Nizam Ahmed The Jatiya Sangsad, as the Parliament is called in Bangladesh, predates the independence of the country in 1971. Its precursor, the Legislative Council of Bengal, was established during the British colonial rule in 1861 when only a few countries outside Europe and North America could claim to have established such an institution. But the Parliament did not have any steady growth until recently. Several structural, procedural and political constraints made the Parliament seriously disadvantaged vis-à-vis other sources of power, particularly the government, during the colonial days and nearly a quarter century of Pakistani neo-colonial rule (1947-71). Since independence, Bangladesh has experimented with different types of government – multiparty parliamentary system patterned after the Westminster model (1971-74), one-party presidential system (1975), and multi-party presidential system (1978-82; 1986-1990). For eight years between 1975 and 1990, the country remained under absolute military rule. In September 1991 the multi-party parliamentary system was restored. Since then, Bangladesh has officially remained a parliamentary democracy. Ten parliaments have been elected over the last four decades (1973-2014), although only a few have been able to complete their five-year tenure. Among the Parliaments, those elected since the early 1990s have survived longer; the 1 only exception was the sixth Parliament (1996) which met for only four days. The ‘recent’ parliaments, which have enjoyed greater legitimacy than their predecessors, have also undertaken several measures to modernize procedures to improve their capacity to affect the policy outcome as well as to make the government behave.

    Unpacking Bangladesh’s 2014 Elections A Clash of the “Warring Begums” Pavlo Ignatiev This work analyses events in the political life of Bangladesh after mili- tary Âle. It focuses on the rise of the leaders of two influential parties – the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party – and the rea- sons for their animosity towards one another. I argue that both these political forces usually abide by a “winner-takes-all” principle and they are firmly against cooperation for the sake of the country. The polar- isation of the political field, combined with natural calamities and a crisis in the textile industry, is propelling Bangladesh into an uncertain future. Keywords: Bangladesh, India, political parties, elections, textile industry strikes Introduction: An Environmental and Economic Profile of Bangladesh Bangladesh is a medium-sized country wedged between India and My- anmar within Asia’s largest delta, the Ganges-Brahmaputra. More than 4095 km of Bangladesh’s frontiers are shared with India and 350 km with Myanmar. Seven north-eastern Indian states – better known as the Seven Sisters – and their predominantly tribal and Christian popu- lations of 42 million, can only access Bengal Bay through Myanmar or Bangladesh. Moreover, India controls 54 Bangladeshi rivers and uses their water for its own industrial and agricultural needs. The long and ill-protected border also provides ample opportunities for the smug- Scan this arti- gling of cows, food and consumer goods. In 2013, some 3.2 million cle onto your Bangladeshi citizens resided in India on a permanent basis, sending mobile device home considerable remittances.1 This, combined with the explosive 40 issue of the presence of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in eastern and north-eastern Indian states, has made ofcial relations with Delhi a topic of extraordinary political importance.
