The year was 2024. The students of Bangladesh began to grow conscious of their rights because, at that time, a 55% quota system was in place. As a result, the majority of meritorious students were being deprived of good jobs. On the other hand, many were securing high-quality positions without studying hard, while others obtained jobs through dishonest means by forging documents.
To protest against this injustice, the students of Dhaka University called for a movement. People across the entire country became aware of the government's unethical practices. Regardless of their political affiliations, everyone came forward to stand by the students. As the movement gained strength, the government attempted to suppress it. They opened fire on the student protests; along with Mugdho, many others whose names remain unknown were martyred, and hundreds were injured.
The people of the country could not tolerate such oppression of the students. They joined the cause, making the movement even more powerful. The protests became so intense that the government was forced to concede defeat, and the meritorious students reclaimed their rights.
But they did not stop after securing their rights. Driven by the grief and anger of the government killing their brothers and sisters, they called for the fall of the regime. Within just a few days, they succeeded in toppling the government. The autocratic ruler was forced to flee the country.
From this, we learn that no matter how great an injustice may be, it must ultimately surrender to the truth. When everyone unites to fight against wrongdoing, injustice can be easily overcome.
