Introduction
The student movement in Bangladesh during July 2024 made headlines around the world when it forced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign from power on August 5.
The movement was primarily sparked by a concrete demand by students to reform the quota system of Bangladesh’s civil service, which required that a certain number of seats be offered to people from certain groups, including the children and grandchildren of “freedom fighters,” or veterans of the 1971 War of Independence. What factors contributed to the expansion of the Bangladesh Quota Reform Movement into the “July Revolution,” a movement that involved a significant portion of the citizens?
Immediately after the prime minister’s resignation, the youth who led the movement painted public murals called Deyal Likhon in the capital city of Dhaka. This online exhibition presents photos of over 1,100 Deyal Likhon taken within one month of the movement’s “victory.” What were the students angry about, what did they highlight as problems, and what values did they identify with? These are records of the temporal power of young citizens to reform their nation.
