Dear Reader,

Bangladesh stands at a historic crossroads. A student-led uprising toppled Sheikh Hasina’s long rule, but the country’s first post-revolution elections are unfolding amid uncertainty, rising Islamist influence, minority anxieties and disillusioned young leaders.

Scroll has reported from the ground, speaking to student revolutionaries who now feel sidelined, interviewing the interim government defending its record, and documenting the fears of liberals and minorities navigating an unpredictable future.

This kind of deeply reported, on-the-ground journalism requires time, expertise and independence. It helps readers understand not just what is happening in Bangladesh, but why it matters for the region.

Scroll does not chase headlines – we pursue nuance and accountability. If you value reporting that goes beyond the surface, please support us. Become a Scroll Member and help sustain independent journalism.
