Bangladesh is on fire once again. This time too, blood is flowing on the streets of Dhaka due to student agitation. In fact, there are two groups who want the word Adivasi to be included in the 9th and 10th class textbooks and talk about them. They were protesting in front of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board. But another faction is opposing it. In no time both factions came face to face. The miscreants rounded up the minorities and beat them with sticks. Because of this, blood was seen on the streets of Dhaka.
According to a report by the Dhaka News-Patiala, the clash started when protesters from both factions came face to face. The protesters armed with sticks attacked each other in no time. Students for Sovereignty demands that the term tribal be removed from textbooks, using the July uprising. Those who have included the word adivasi should be punished.

What are the demands of minorities?
While the minorities demand that the tribals are a part of this country. So we should tell about them. They were demanding to retain it. Then the protesters of Students for Sovereignty came in front of them and started fighting after the debate. Many female and male students were seriously injured in the attack. In the pictures and videos that have surfaced, you can see people covered in blood. Rupiah Shrestha Tanchanga, a member of the executive committee of the anti-discrimination student movement, also sustained serious injuries.
The movement spread to the towns
Students for Sovereignty claims that tribal students attacked them. Tore their clothes. While bowing down to the students there, the government has finally removed the tribal pictures. Information about them was removed. New copies were also released in PDF format. After this, this movement is seen spreading in villages and towns. Many protests are taking place in cities. A year ago, a similar movement had spread, as a result of which Sheikh Hasina had to leave power.
