Bangladesh (eBook, PDF)

Political and Literary Reflections on a Divided Country

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Bangladesh is now divided as "our" country and "their" country. This division has been solely created by the critically close to authoritarian and exclusionary Awami regime-belligerent and BNPhobic. This book is a detailed account of the divided Bangladesh, where there has been a near-total suppression and extermination (since 2009) of the political opposition, BNP. It is a recount of the horror and terror resorted to by the regime addicted to governing the country through a process of complete politicization and criminalization of all the branches of the state.

Being a descriptive narrative of the regime's abuses of state tools and agents, the volume launches a crusade against the nearly autocratic and despotic one-party government, boastfully bragging about its denial of moral, political, and economic corruption and its obstruction of the democratic rights of the opposition.

Rezensionen

"Q M Jalal Khan made a serious intellectual effort to uncover the truth and justice behind Bangladesh being ruled by a brutal regime. Although politically sensitive (as it contests the current regime widely known for trampling democracy and for massive human rights abuse), Khan's work is a phenomenal contribution and hence is likely to have a wide marketability." -Md Saidul Islam, Professor of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
