Md. Rashid

Md. Rashid was an ordinary businessman. He completed his education up to the 8th grade and left school to move to Dhaka for livelihood. He used to buy and sell old goods next to the TIC gate near the fire service in Tongi Bazar. His family is currently trying to run the business with his son. He has no personal house in his village. There is almost no significant income to run the family. In July 2024, the quota reform movement gradually turned into a public movement. It spread across the country as an anti-discrimination student-public movement. Initially, the non-violent movement of the general students gradually moved towards an uprising against the fascist government. Gradually, this movement was not limited to the students; it became a huge mass uprising of the people of the country. People of all castes, religions, and creeds expressed solidarity with this uprising and took to the streets. Faced with the wrath of the angry people, the head of the autocratic government, Sheikh Hasina, was forced to resign on August 5. But before resigning, she left behind countless deeds of her heinous and distorted mind. As part of this, the terribly reckless armed forces were unleashed on the protesters and many innocent unarmed people. The freedom-loving people were Martyred by their bullets.
Description of the Overall Incident
The 2024 student movement will be recorded in the history of Bangladesh and the world as an event that set a unique precedent. In this movement, young and old participated hand in hand, which is rare in the world. Anger against corruption and misrule created accumulated anger and frustration not only among the general public but also within the student community. The conscious educated student community, in an effort to realize their rights, at one point began to establish their position against autocracy and authority and finally seized their rights through a massive explosion. When anger and frustration are not resolved through systematic means, revolution becomes an inevitable destiny. The 2024 student movement similarly created history in the country and brought about revolutionary changes. This movement succeeded in changing the fascist regime. However, the impact of this movement is very deep and widespread. The biggest achievement of the July-August student movement is the sense of solidarity between people. Student-public groups were formed to guard houses and places of worship.
