The Fiery Force by Abul Kashem argues that the birth of Bangladesh cannot be understood without the students who pushed it forward. It examines student politics from the 1930s to the 1960s as a driving force behind identity formation, nation-building and social change.
The book moves through three key stages. It first looks at Muslim student politics in undivided Bengal before partition, then follows the trends of student activism in East Bengal from 1952 to 1958, and finally studies the Student Action Committee and the part it played in the mass upsurge of 1969. Together these chapters show how campus activism fed directly into the national struggle and continues to shape the country's politics, society and culture.
Published in 2021, this 135-page hardcover is a valuable resource for students of history and political science, researchers, teachers and policymakers interested in the long story of student activism in Bangladesh.
