Political Governance and Socio-Economic Status of Minorities in Bangladesh

The majority and minority identity have always been used for political discourse or political interests. A newly emerged nation like Bangladesh has faced problems of national identity and nationalism due to the different political interpretation and devices for political discourse. Due to continuous institutional discrimination, politically and economically marginalization of minorities has led to the confrontational politics and problems of separatism in the country. The book discusses about the socio-economic status of the minorities as well as the policies of the Bangladesh government during the civilian government and military rule and its implications on the religious minorities.
