Poet and political thinker Farhad Mazhar has called the recent wave of protests a “mass uprising,” not a revolution, emphasizing that the struggle now is cultural and constitutional. “What we are witnessing is the people rising to complete what remains unfinished. The real battle ahead lies in drafting a new constitution for Bangladesh,” he said. Mazhar highlighted that students have been vocal from the outset about the need for a new constitutional framework—not just new laws. “A constitution is not merely a set of laws. While laws are made by governments, constitutions are made by the people themselves. A true constitution emerges from public participation and consensus on how people want to live together,” he said. Mazhar stressed that Bangladesh must move away from its colonial legacy and create a people-centric system.
