Bangladesh: A Playground of Geopolitical Interests
This article talks about Bangladesh and the political changes that have happened there.
It highlights the assassination of the country's founder and the ouster of his daughter, who was the Prime Minister.
A new book discusses the reasons behind these events, including the influence of foreign powers like the US and China, who are competing for influence.
The author suggests that similar strategies were used to create instability in the region.
The country may become a hotspot of Islamist extremism.
Bangladesh's founding leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was assassinated in 1975; his daughter, Sheikh Hasina, was ousted in 2024.
Manash Ghosh's book, "Mujib's Blunders," details the events and their context.
