  • Over 150 students were injured in Bangladesh during clashes at a university campus this week, a sign of serious discord between groups instrumental in fomenting the national revolution last year that led to former premier Sheikh Hasina's downfall.

The article from NDTV discusses a new wave of protests in Bangladesh, where students are now clashing with each other rather than uniting against common issues like road safety or educational reforms. Previously, students had come together in solidarity, but recent events have seen a division among them, primarily along political lines. The protests have escalated into violence, with reports of stone-throwing and vandalism, particularly in Dhaka University. This discord stems from differing political affiliations, with groups like the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and the Bangladesh Students' Union (BSU) engaging in confrontations. The situation has led to injuries and has highlighted the deep political polarization within the student community, overshadowing their earlier unity in advocating for broader societal changes.
