	UNHCR - Bangladesh: Information on women and politics, part 5 of 6: Mass movements
		According to Jahan, political movements in Bangladesh have never "consciously attempt[ed] to integrate women." Such movements, she states, "depended heavily on the mobilized sections of society, i.e., students, labor, and lumpenproletariat,...
		Jahan states that the mass movements of the 1960s were "generally more militant and violent" than those of the 1950s, and only the 1963-64 education movement drew significant numbers of women, largely because of its peaceful methods and nonpolitical goals (1982, 269).
		With the mass movements of the late 1960s, which were even more militant, violent and overtly political than those early in the decade (ibid.), the picture is less clear.

	UNHCR - Bangladesh: Information on women and politics, part 2 of 6: Voting behaviour
		Naseem Ahmed, author of an article on the socioeconomic and political status of women in Bangladesh, states that "voting behaviour largely involves casting ballots on advisement by husbands rather than personal knowledge" (1987, 7).
		The data indicate that as compared to men, "women are less interested in and less informed about electoral politics," and have a "lower sense of political efficacy and are involved less in different types of participatory activities" (ibid., 264).
		On questions that measured voter faith in elections and voting, women were much less likely to think that the "individual's vote counts, that voting in local elections is significant, and that voting determines the country's future" (ibid.).

	Unheard Voices » Freedom of Press and Bangladesh politics
		The extraordinary political crisis that engulfed the country on the eve of handover of power to caretaker government has established a simple fact of political reality: our political leadership has agreed only to make the country politically, economically, culturally, and religiously more vulnerable.
		The contradiction is the result between the public image of political families nurtured by cultural consideration and state institutions that require flourishing of professionalism.
		Secondly, the dominance of political families and their loyalists at the hub of power center produce a negative impact on the healthy development of achievement oriented democratic institutions.

	Power Politics In Bangladesh By Taj Hashmi
		Since “politics”, or “rajniti “ in the common parlance, literally means a prerogative of the raja (king) or rich and powerful in Bangladesh, the average voters do not mind rallying around their respective patrons while the latter are busy playing the game of politics.
		Till before the Emergency, Bangladesh was under a siege of political unrest, economic stagnation and almost on the verge of a civil war a la post-Saddam Iraq.
		The predominance of the lumpen and petty bourgeois classes in the arena of Bangladesh politics, having peasants and lumpen proletariat classes as their active followers, is bound to nurture mistrust, nihilism and conspiracy theories.
