Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is still boiling. The country is not yet satisfied with the leaving of the former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, as protests continue to get her back from neighbouring India. Grievances against India have heightened after allegations of the opening of dams leading to disastrous floods in parts of Bangladesh came up.At Shahbag, between the Dhaka University and the Sheikh Mujeeb Hospital, lies the tomb of Bangladesh’s national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. Outside on the TSC (Teacher-Students Centre) at the Dhaka University crossroads, is a statue dedicated to slain student leader Moin Hossain Raju.Students, men, women and workers participated in a protest largely against India at the TSC. “We want good relations with India, but the way Modi and Shah are behaving is unfortunate,” says Pavel Hossain, a student leader.Protests on the Raju Bhaskar statue – dedicated to student leader Raju who died fighting – at the Dhaka University area.

Its secretary general Muntasir Ahmed has alleged that India is specifically upholding relations with the Hasina family and not directly looking at the people of the Bangladesh.The fact that Union home minister Amit Shah had called Bangladeshi people ‘termites’ is a common refrain here. The CAA and NRC is another point of contention. Many in Bangladesh see both Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, and Narendra Modi the prime minister, to have been responsible for opening the gates of the dam.Protesters gesture to the camera.

People blame Hasina’s 15 years of authoritarian rule and forced disappearances for this anger.Children at the Raju Bhaskar statue.
