Gofrixty [15 August 2025] – A year after the revolution, Bangladesh has seen a stark move from hope to anger. Where rallying cries of standing united, can turn to day to day battles in the streets. However, a lot of promises have not been kept the people who stood together for justice and democracy feel let down.
This was the start of a miraculous revolution The general public perceived a more transparent governance, better economic development and an end to corruption. They trusted fresh leadership to put public interest ahead of partisanship. The old regime fell, and hundreds of thousands of people streamed into the street with their initial hope for a new beginning. That dream also included lower cost of living, better jobs and public services for many families.
Today, reality feels harsher. Commodities are becoming expensive by the day, and unemployment rates are still soaring. The seeds and fuel consumed by farmers reach up to 250 USD, making the farming costs more expensive thereby leaving less profits for farmers. And our young graduates go seven or more months labouring but in vain for work. Landlords get rich on rising fees, while urban workers bear stagnant wages. Extremely volatile is the economy.
