Dramatic changes in the political power in Bangladesh in January 2007 require an understanding of why the country had to face a political crisis and decide, from first principles, as to what is the best future course of action for the nation.

Dramatic changes in the political power in Bangladesh in January 2007 require an understanding of why the country had to face a political crisis and decide, from first principles, as to what is the best future course of action for the nation.
The 150 million people of Bangladesh -- struggling to earn a decent living and survive in a ruthless world -- have shown, time and again, their dynamic and powerful presence, expressing in no uncertain terms that they are the masters of their destiny. The people created East Pakistan in 1947, fought an armed struggle to create Bangladesh in 1971, rejected the rule of the Awami League in 1975, overthrew Ershad's autocracy in 1991, discarded the rule of the BNP in 1996, evicted the AL from power in 2001, and rejected both the AL and BNP in 2007. All these events show that whoever neglects the people of Bangladesh in the equation of political power does so at his or her peril..........
