Mujibur Rahman’s Rise to Sheikh Hasina’s Fall: A Timeline of Bangladesh’s Leadership

1. Founding and Tragedy (1971-1975)

  • Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan in 1971, spearheaded by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, its first prime minister.
  • Rahman established a one-party state and assumed the presidency in January 1975.
  • He and most of his family were assassinated in August 1975, a year marked by political upheaval and coups.

2. Era of Coups (1981-1983)

  • Following Rahman’s assassination, General Ziaur Rahman ascended to power but was assassinated in 1981 during a military revolt.
  • His vice-president briefly took over until General Hussain Muhammad Ershad staged a bloodless coup in 1982, imposing martial law.

3. Democratic Resurgence (1990)

  • General Ershad resigned in 1990 amid mass protests demanding democratic reforms.
  • He was arrested and convicted of corruption.

4. Democratic Elections (1991)

  • Bangladesh held its first free election in 1991, with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) emerging victorious.
  • Khaleda Zia, widow of Ziaur Rahman, became the first female prime minister.
  • Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Mujibur Rahman, won the 1996 elections with the Awami League, alternating power with the BNP in subsequent years.

5. Recent Developments (2007)

  • Amid political turmoil, a state of emergency was declared in 2007.
  • An interim military-backed government initiated a significant anti-corruption drive, detaining Hasina and Zia.

The timeline underscores Bangladesh’s tumultuous political landscape, characterized by cycles of military coups, brief democratic interludes, and intense rivalry between leading political families.
