  • Description: Quota Reform Movement, or "July Revolution," exposed deep-rooted corruption in Bangladesh, particularly through nepotism in government jobs. The violent crackdown, resulting in over 2,000 deaths, occurred under orders from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who eventually resigned under pressure. The army, initially complicit in the violence, later decided not to shoot their own country's people. On August 5, Bangladeshis filled the streets to show their respect by touching the army's hand.
