Violent protests in Bangladesh over job reservations have forced Indian students to flee, with over 300 crossing into India in one day. The unrest, which has claimed over 100 lives, led to university closures and communication blackouts. Students from various Indian states returned via border crossings, citing safety concerns. The protests stem from a controversial quota system for government jobs, which critics say unfairly benefits the ruling party. The situation remains tense and volatile.

Protesting students in Bangladesh set the country's state broadcaster ablaze on Thursday, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina appeared on the network seeking to calm the escalating clashes that have killed at least 32 people and left over 2,500 injured. University students in Dhaka and other cities have been holding rallies for more than a week protesting the system of reservation in public sector jobs, including that for the relatives of war heroes, who fought for the country's independence from Pakistan in 1971.
