Two years after the student uprising, there are strong indications that Sheikh Mujib will return to his rightful place in the nation’s collective memory.
To deflect public attention from crippling domestic concerns, Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman seems to have fanned anti-India sentiment within his country.
In an exclusive interview with ThePrint, Sheikh Hasina cautions against calling Yunus a ‘puppet’, says she plans to return to Bangladesh in December, and challenges Tarique to hold fresh elections.
While FCC president says he is not sure why Delhi Police denied permission, DCP (New Delhi) says club does not require police permission to host panels.
Tarique Rahman wants India to hand over Sheikh Hasina so that his radical non-state actors can carry out their unfinished job from 2004 — eliminating the opposition.
On PM Tarique Rahman possibly visiting India, he said ‘there is no justification for rushing into a top-level visit by going beyond the national interest’.
Hasina was convicted in November 2025 by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal which sentenced her to death in absentia for crimes against humanity.
Ties are at a tense crossroads. Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman, as ThePrint exclusively reported, has ‘no plans’ of undertaking bilateral visit to India & is set to skip BRICS summit too.
Bangladesh foreign ministry says the two countries have been in touch on possibility of bilateral visit, but the process was 'vitiated' by Hasina's media event in Delhi earlier this month.
The number of rape cases on record has fallen through the years. Either the police are reluctant to register FIRs, or survivors are losing faith in the criminal justice system.
IAF chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh has ruled out a separate drone force, saying that UAVs must operate with fighters and other existing technology.
Modern India might have been conjured up in the image of Gandhi. But India was never a Gandhian state. Founders of the Republic, be it Nehru or Patel, nursed zero such notions.
