On the one year anniversary of Bangladesh’s Monsoon Revolution, Beyond the Indus host Tushar Shetty sits down with Dr. Smruti Pattanaik, Mubashar Hasan, and Jyoti Rahman to examine the state of Bangladesh in the year since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, and break down the progress and pitfalls on its long road to restoring democracy.
We discuss the fallout from Sheikh Hasina’s regime and the transition government’s challenges in restoring stability, the realignments in Bangladesh’s politics and the prospects for elections in 2026, as well as the wider economic and foreign policy challenges for Bangladesh’s next government.
A transcript of the interviews is available online.
