July Uprising

Read the text and answer the questions 1, 2 and3.

The student movement in in Bangladesh in 2024, known as the ‘July Uprising, was a historic event that played a major role in the country’s politics. Students from all over Bangladesh united to demand better education, equal job opportunities, and justice. They wanted the Government to provide jobs based on merit, not on quotas for certain groups. This was because many qualified students were being dented Government jobs in favor of other people who didn’t meet the required standards. This led to increased unemployment and a shortage of skilled workers in the country. In July 2024, students from Dhaka University led protests to demand equal job rights. The Government, however, ignored their demands and insulted them by calling them Rajakar, which hurt the entire student community. As the protests spread across the country, the Government took harsh steps to stop them. They used the police and even the military to attack the students, killing hundreds. Despite this violence, the students did not give up. They were joined by teachers, lawyers. and ordinary citizens who supported their cause. On the 5th August, 2024, the movement reached its peak, and the Head of the Government, unable to control the situation, fled and the Government collapsed. This historic event is remembered as a turning point in Bangladesh’s fight for justice and fairness. The movement showed the students are a powerful force in the country and that their unity can bring about positive change.
