Geography, trade, security cooperation, culture, and shared infrastructure — a survey of the bilateral relationship across seven dimensions, as a companion to our Sonar Bangla framework's regional-cooperation pillar.
Sonar Bangla is usually invoked as a slogan. This brief introduces it instead as a working framework — five pillars covering skilled livelihoods abroad, a knowledge economy, domestic entrepreneurship, an innovation pipeline, and cultural soft power.
What happened in Bangladesh after August 5, 2024 was not political turbulence. It was a coordinated, accelerated reversal of the founding principles of the 1971 republic. A continuously updated evidence record — timeline, sourcing, and what it means for the region.
Three recurring patterns in Bangladesh's institutional oversight — a shrinking, fragmented civil society, Jamaat-e-Islami's five-decade rehabilitation cycle, and an under-reviewed foreign-infrastructure footprint. A preliminary brief, sourced individually, with open questions stated as plainly as the findings.
Since August 2024, Bangladesh has undergone a systematic transformation. This is not analysis — it is the documented record. Ten facts, ten sources, no speculation.
A clear-eyed explainer on JEI: its 1971 war crimes, its 2.4 million members, its state infiltration, and its international sponsors — and why any account of Bangladesh's present crisis has to start with them.
We welcome guest articles, co-authored briefs, and research contributions from analysts, academics, and practitioners working on relevant topics.
