  • Summary

  • In this episode of Deep Down with Deepankar Ahlawat, Deepankar discusses the political instability in Bangladesh with guest S.S. Ahlawat, former Parliamentary Officer to the Prime Minister. The conversation delves into Bangladesh's history, beginning with the 1905 partition of Bengal, the rise of nationalism, and the divide-and-rule policies of British India. They explore the 1947 formation of East and West Pakistan and the subsequent economic, social, and political discrimination faced by East Pakistan, leading to the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Ahlawat sheds light on the role of global powers like India, Russia, the U.S., and China in the war, and how Bangladesh eventually emerged as an independent nation. The episode also touches on key historical moments, such as the creation of the Mukti Bahini and the Simla Agreement.
