In a controversial turn, Bangladesh’s Attorney General has put forth a proposal to remove the word “secular” from the country’s constitution, sparking discussions in neighboring India.
Bangladesh, originally founded as a secular state, has seen a shift in recent years with an increasing embrace of Islamic identity. While the move is rooted in growing religious sentiment, it has raised concerns about the preservation of minority rights and the nation’s longstanding secular values.
India, which shares deep cultural and historical ties with Bangladesh, is observing these developments closely. The potential shift has stirred debates among Indian political analysts and secular groups, who worry about the impact on South Asian regional stability and inclusivity.
This proposed change comes at a time when religious dynamics are increasingly shaping regional politics, prompting concerns about maintaining peace and religious harmony in the subcontinent.
