Abstract

Bangladesh, born in 1971, endured her very first setback in 1975 when a bloody military coup took place, which killed the Father of the nation and subsequently army seized power. From then to 1990, two military dictators ruled the country for a short time as a military dictator and the rest of the time under the veil of the democratically elected statesman. With the fall of the Mujib government, a new diplomatic stance had been taken up; from a socialist, liberal, secular and democratic state, Bangladesh crawled down to a capitalist, conservative, Islamist and authoritarian form of state. It appears from the policy of the dictators that they had tried to satiate the people through the amendments of the constitution to shape it as an Islamist country and to satisfy the capitalist class, they introduced the capitalist economy from the moderate socialist economy. An identical procedure which was followed by the Pakistani military rulers in pre-independence time had been conceived smoothly by the military dictators in independent Bangladesh.
