Chaos in Bangladesh

There seems to be utter chaos in Bangladesh with the interim caretaker government under the Nobel laureate Professor Yunus. The economy is in doldrums, the discrimination against the minorities' surface one after another and the protestors are now demanding resignation of the President and disbanding of the constitution after de-validating the student wing of the erstwhile Awami league. Already, people with questionable characters are being appointed at different positions that range from the diplomats to the judges. There is visible antagonism against India though the market becomes limp in the absence of Indian goods. The fact that India is hosting Hasina has been angering sections of Bangladesh who her baying for her blood. Though Yunus is a distinguished academician and an able administrator, he lacks the intricacies of polity and subtle political balancing. Moreover he is in his mid-eighties. It remains to be seen how he steers his country forward.
