Bangladeshi Protesters Demand End to Government Job Quotas | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Bangladesh's top court temporarily suspended quotas for coveted government jobs after thousands of students staged nationwide protests against what they call a discriminatory system. The quota system reserves 30 percent of government posts for children of those who fought to win Bangladeshi independence in 1971, 10 percent for women, and 10 percent for residents of specific districts. Will Bangladesh finally ditch its quota system for good? Palki Sharma tells you.

এ রক্ত যদি তোমাদেরকে থামিয়ে দেয় তাহলে বাংলাদেশ শেষ!
আর এ রক্ত যদি তোমাদের রাগিয়ে দেয় তবে তোমরাই বাংলাদেশ!

Good to see a girl saying NO to women reservation in Bangladesh

[indobalkanizer]

As an Indian, I must admit that Bangladeshi students are setting a good example for the youth this side of the border. Our entire politics is totally centered around quotas left or right unfortunately.

[kobial]

As a son of a Freedom fighter, I personally do not want this quota either. My father fought for the country yet never took any govt. benefit nor asked for anything in return. He's no longer with us but he taught us to be just towards everyone. I do not deserve no do I want any privilege or recognition. Only disabled individuals/citizens should be allowed within quota, no one else. Only merit should be the qualification.

[SanjShowTime]

I as an Indian whole heartedly support Bangladeshi students...GOVT. OF BD MUST END QUOTA SYSTEM ASAP sabotaging students is detrimental for any country...

[rasingh]

Bangladesh is way ahead of indians... Salute to them 😍😍😍

[arpandebnath]

I am from Bangladesh and I am Against these qouta systems, 10% is good but 50-56% is discriminatory. Also 20-30% of the freedom fighters alive today are fake. Cause how can be a freedom fighter 50years old, wherous Liberation war happened 52 years ago? Many of the Brave fighters martyred during the war. We fought Pakistani military because of discrimination and oppression Against us, unfortunately current qouta system giving us the same memories of these horrible days.

What Bangaldesh did is a marvellous decision. There should be only merit and some like 10% for disabled ppl. We need this here in India too.
