On Friday, 4 October 2024, students of classes 10, 11, and 12 had an interactive session with School chairman, Mr Prafull Goradia, on the Bangladesh crisis. The discussion covered several aspects of Bangladesh’s political situation, including its partition, recent political upheavals, and the departure of Sheikh Hasina from the country.
The partition of Bangladesh, originally known as East Pakistan, from West Pakistan (now Pakistan) in 1971, was a significant topic of discussion. The talk further addressed the ongoing tension between the ruling Awami League and the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), recent protests, and concerns about the state of democracy and human rights in the country. Additionally, Mr Goradia discussed Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, who was forced to leave the country amid violent protests led by the youth of Bangladesh.
Mr Goradia’s talk provided insights into the complex political situation in Bangladesh, tracing its roots from the partition to current developments. The reported departure of Sheikh Hasina could mark a significant turning point in the country’s political trajectory, he said.
In conclusion, it was an insightful talk that offered students a deeper understanding of Bangladesh’s historical and current political landscape. The discussion illuminated the complexities of governance and the significant challenges faced by nations in maintaining stability and democratic values, especially significant as Bangladesh is an immediate neighbour.
