This July 29, 2026 opinion article in The Daily Star (Bangladesh), written by student activist Nuzia Hasin Rasha, argues that the political memory of Bangladesh's 2024 July Uprising is being distorted by dominant narratives that erase the contributions of Left and progressive political forces. The author contends that Left organizations — including the Left Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Student Alliance — were active participants from the movement's earliest stages, citing specific documented actions such as press conferences on July 7, 2024, protest marches amid violent repression, and the August 2 "Droho Jatra" rally. The article warns that reducing a broad, pluralistic popular uprising to the achievements of a narrow political elite or select individuals is a historically dishonest pattern repeated throughout Bangladesh's history, and that preserving the movement's collective, plural character is itself a democratic responsibility.

This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers events from July 27, 2025, during a period of significant civil unrest in Bangladesh. The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police detained Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM) coordinators Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam for "safety and questioning," following the earlier detention of three other ADSM coordinators, prompting university teachers to gather outside the DB office demanding transparency — a request that went unanswered. The article also covers the government's response to a nationwide internet disruption, with ICT State Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak claiming the internet "just went down" rather than being deliberately shut down, while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited the injured and characterized the broader unrest as an economic sabotage plot. Additional context includes reports of custodial torture of opposition figures, with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir condemning the abuse, and a tearful plea from the wife of detained former DUCSU VP Nurul Haque Nur. The piece is set against a backdrop of over 9,000 arrests and at least 210 deaths since July 18, 2025, reflecting a severe political and security crisis in Bangladesh.

Summary: "How We Should Build Brand Bangladesh" This opinion piece by Ashfaq Zaman, published in The Daily Star on August 5, 2026, argues that Bangladesh should build its national brand around its authentic strengths rather than generic economic narratives like being an "emerging tiger economy." The author identifies three core pillars for Brand Bangladesh: its rich Bengali language and literary heritage (citing figures like Rabindranath Tagore and Lalon Shah, and noting Bengali is the fourth most spoken language globally), its proven national resilience (demonstrated through historical events from the 1952 Language Movement to the 2024 mass uprising), and its identity as a moderate Muslim nation characterized by social harmony and religious unity. The piece concludes that Bangladesh should actively leverage these distinctive qualities — language, resilience, and moderation — to craft a compelling and credible national identity on the world stage.

He argued that the signing of the July Charter by a limited number of political parties does not represent genuine national unity, stating that true unity requires participation from workers and people across various professions. Islam also criticized the interim government for forming six election-focused reform commissions while neglecting labor and public service reforms, and referenced worker oppression during Sheikh Hasina's 16-year rule, including police killings of protesting workers in early 2024. He held up the July popular uprising — characterized by cross-sector participation without party banners — as his model for authentic national unity.

This is an opinion piece published in The Daily Star (Bangladesh) on August 5, 2026, written by Dr. Samina Luthfa, a sociology professor at Dhaka University. The article reflects on the second anniversary of the July-August 2024 uprising that overthrew Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, arguing that while the movement successfully removed an autocratic regime, it failed to achieve the deeper structural and institutional changes that protesters had demanded. The author's central argument focuses on the proposed "July Charter," warning that if this foundational document excludes minorities, women, Indigenous Peoples, non-Bangalee communities, and non-Muslims, it will represent a betrayal of the uprising's core ideals of equal dignity and non-discrimination. She also insists that Bangladesh's Liberation War history of 1971 must not be undermined or falsely equated with other historical events.

NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain explained that the July proclamation is a historic document formally acknowledging the August 2024 mass uprising, while the July charter is a practical political reform roadmap being developed through dialogue with the National Consensus Commission (NCC). The NCP firmly rejected the NCC's proposed two-year implementation timeline for the July charter, warning it could lead to inaction, and also threatened to independently issue the July proclamation alongside anti-fascist forces if the government failed to do so by a set deadline.
