“The entire matter reached this state because they couldn’t understand the pulse of the students. Whenever they had a chance to understand what students wanted, they took two steps back. When bullets are being aimed at students, that government loses the ability or right to remain in power.”

“This generation has less ties to this narrative that Sheikh Hasina put on about independence. Maybe their grandparents were a part of independence movements, but they’re much more removed from that, from this historical narrative that has been used over and over and over again by every political party. So it doesn’t resonate with them anymore as much as it did. And they want something new.”

STORYLINE:
A generation of young people, many of whom cannot remember a time before Sheikh Hasina was Bangladesh’s prime minister, led protests that resulted in her ouster.
Students initially poured into Bangladesh’s streets in June, demanding an end to rules that set aside up to 30% of government jobs for the descendants of veterans who fought the country’s 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.
Protesters said that benefitted supporters of Hasina’s Awami League, which led that struggle — and who already were part of the elite.
The quota and others for marginalized groups meant only 44% of civil service jobs were awarded based on merit.
That such jobs lay at the center of the movement was no coincidence: They are some of the most stable and best paying in a country whose economy has boomed in recent years but not created enough solid, professional jobs for its well educated middle class.
“It doesn’t resonate with them anymore as much as it did (before). And they want something new,” she said.
