Blurb

“The book tells the story of the emergence of Bangladesh and the first fifty years of its economic, political, social and cultural developments based on articles written by scholars who actively participated in events creating the nation's history as well as by other academics who are leading experts in their respective fields. The study will be an invaluable resource for teachers and students of Bangladesh and South Asian studies as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the country's multifaceted developments”. 

Professor Rounaq Jahan, Political Scientist and Distinguished Fellow, Centre for Policy Dialogue, Dhaka. 

“Bangladesh is a fascinating development story: surprising success despite a bloody birth and seemingly hopeless odds. This uniquely rich collection of essays provides authentic multi-disciplinary narratives from Bangladeshi scholars who have had a front-row view of the nation’s 50-year journey of socio-economic progress amid many contradictions and paradoxes. The wide range of topics make the book particularly valuable for understanding the economic and political dynamics of the country as embedded in the settings of socio-cultural transformation”.

Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmud former Professor of Economics, University of Dhaka; and former Adviser to the Caretaker Government of Bangladesh. 

This book analyses and celebrates the first 50 years of Bangladesh as a nation, bringing insights from key scholars in Bangladeshi studies to an international audience, as well as ‘bringing home’ to a domestic audience the work of some of the nation’s greatest intellectual exports, the Bangladeshi scholars who have made a mark in their field of study in academia.
