In a recently published book, author Manash Ghosh explores the tumultuous political landscape of Bangladesh, focusing on Sheikh Hasina's struggle to revive the Awami League. The book traces the historical patterns set by her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's first president, to analyze current events.

According to Ghosh, the political turbulence in Bangladesh is far from over, with more regime changes anticipated. However, he posits that Hasina's political journey is marked by resilience, and despite her recent ousting, she and the Awami League are expected to stage a comeback.

The book, published by Niyogi Books, underscores the necessity for Hasina to cleanse her party of corruption to regain its former strength. Drawing parallels between 1975 and 2024, the narrative emphasizes the enduring legacy and challenges faced by the Awami League.
