History of the JSD (Bangladesh)

By Apu Sarwar, December 1996, www.thecommunists.net

Note of the Editorial Board: Below we publish the English-language translation of an article about the JSD (National Socialist Party) in Bangladesh. The JSD was the biggest left-wing force between 1972 and 1980. Several thousands of its members were assassinated. They still hold support in popular layers and are currently part of the ruling government.

This article was first published in “Banglar Mukh“ (Face of Bangla), a monthly magazine edited by the author.
