A critical discussion featuring Abhijit Joag and Cmde S. L. Deshmukh on geopolitics, defense, and the challenges faced by minorities in Bangladesh.

This online panel discussion, hosted by Pravah, will explore the intricate dynamics of Bangladesh's geopolitical landscape. Abhijit Joag, a seasoned brand consultant and political observer, and Cmde S. L. Deshmukh (Retd.), a 32-year Navy veteran and defence expert, will provide in-depth analysis on topics like defence strategies, minority rights, and the role of external influences in Bangladesh's political turmoil.

The session will shed light on how deep state actors have historically shaped Bangladesh's political environment, leveraging student politics and civil societies to destabilize or influence governmental structures. Discussions will also cover how radical elements are increasingly infiltrating key institutions, leading to the persecution of minorities and a reshaping of the nation's democratic fabric. Attendees will gain insight into the pressing challenges and potential solutions for ensuring a stable and inclusive Bangladesh.
