In this episode of Beyond the India, we discuss the political earthquake that has swept through Bangladesh, as a student-led mass uprising dethroned Sheikh Hasina and the ruling Awami League. We’re joined by Mubashar Hassan, Smruti S. Pattanaik, and Leo Wigger, who discuss the proximate causes and triggers of the protest, the challenges for Mohammad Yunus’ interim government, the role of social media and foreign actors in the revolution, and the outlook for Bangladesh in the aftermath of the Monsoon Revolution.
