Bangladesh's Unprecedented Violent Protests

Following a series of violent protests triggered by job quotas, we speak to Michael Kugelman, director of the Wilson Center's South Asia Institute about how the protests grew so fast and what does it mean for the ruling party of Awami League led by Sheikh Hasina. Michael unpacks whether these protests would lead to lasting damage to Bangladesh's fragile economy and political structure.
