Since the beginning of July, students in Bangladesh have been protesting and blocking major roads, demonstrating against a controversial law since 1971: the quota rule. ️ In 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh, decided that for the 2 million civil service positions today, half would be filled not based on merit but through affirmative action favoring women and residents of less developed areas ️ The most controversial aspect of this quota system is that 30% of civil service positions are reserved for the children and grandchildren of those who fought for Bangladesh’s independence in 1971. ⬇️ Continued bengalielonmusk Source: /CIG/ Telegram | Counter Intelligence Global
