The Jamdani Revolution

His time in Bangladesh marked the first-ever civil society overthrow of a military-backed regime in South Asia and only the second relatively bloodless revolution in the whole of Asia and only the second relatively bloodless revolution in the whole of Asia. The political parties that brought down General Ershad in 1990 found it impossible to sink their differences and establish democratic institutions; a problem that continues to this day in this space of three years, there were three presidents in Bangladesh and four Prime Ministers in India, and bilateral issues between India and Bangladesh were intensely politicized on both sides of the border.
