The recent political upheaval in Bangladesh has put the lives of thousands of Indian students and doctors at risk. The ongoing protests and violent clashes have created a hostile environment, with reports emerging of Indian nationals being intentionally targeted.
Bangladesh has long been a preferred destination for Indian students pursuing degrees, particularly MBBS. The country’s medical curriculum, disease patterns, and treatment protocols closely mirror those of India, making it an ideal choice for medical education. However, the current instability has cast a shadow over this relationship.

W also request our Indian government, urging to take immediate action to safeguard and evacuate Indian nationals from Bangladesh.
The protests, which began as a movement against the government’s job quota system, have escalated into a nationwide uprising against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s administration. The resulting violence has claimed over 300 lives and injured thousands, including Indian students and doctors caught in the crossfire.
In response to the crisis, the Indian government is reportedly considering measures to evacuate its citizens.
