Slogan “Tumi ke? Ami ke? Razakar, Razakar” Echoes Again at Dhaka University

The slogan “Tumi ke? Ami ke? Razakar, Razakar” (“Who are you? Who am I? Razakar, Razakar”) once again reverberated through the Dhaka University (DU) campus. On this day last year, then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made a controversial remark referring to general students participating in the quota reform movement as “Razakar” (a term for collaborators with the Pakistani military during the 1971 Liberation War). Following her statement in a press conference that afternoon, students from various DU dormitories took to the streets at night chanting the slogan.
