Bangladesh Violent Protest: Supreme Court Scales Back Job Quota That Sparked Deadly Violence
Bangladesh’s Supreme Court has ordered a significant reduction in the country’s controversial quota system for government jobs, following nationwide protests and violent clashes that have resulted in numerous casualties.
The new ruling stipulates that 93% of government jobs will now be allocated based on merit, with the remaining 7% reserved for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence and other specific categories.
Previously, 30% of these jobs were reserved for war veterans' relatives.

In the wake of escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, hundreds have taken to the streets of Dhaka to demand urgent protections for Hindus and other vulnerable communities. Following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, minority groups report a significant increase in threats and attacks, perceived as reprisals due to their support for her regime. The caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned these attacks but insists many are politically motivated rather than based on religious intolerance.
