Since Bangladesh emerged as an independent country, violence has become a part of its political process and activism. This paper challenges a dominant narrative that has been discursively constructed and promoted by secularist communities, civil societies, political parties (including the ruling party), and groups in Bangladesh throughout the years. A dominant narrative about religious violence claims Islamists are primarily responsible for political violence in Bangladesh. However, based on a robust analysis of thirty years of data on violence and other of credible sources, I have found that the dominant narrative is not backed by factual and quantitative evidence or a popular mandate but is constructed primarily to support and legitimize political persecution in the politics of Bangladesh. This paper offers a counter-narrative and argues that in Bangladesh, violence has become a political tool for opposition groups to acquire power and for incumbent regimes to retain power. Moreover, it states that religious parties are less violent than secular groups in Bangladesh.
The paper aims to explore the role and impacts of the political parties on good governance in Balochistan. However, Balochistan has a history of fragile political parties- have functioned under the mercy of successive federal governments which cared and focused less attention towards the largest interest of the people of Balochistan since 1947. Thus, the research paper indicated that the political parties in Balochistan are more centre-oriented and intend to ensure their political power in province rather than serve the people of Balochistan in a general. This research paper intends to address the question that why the political parties of Balochistan have been failed to ensure strong political stability and good governance in Balochistan. This paper pointed out that the political parties have been in state of conflict for the personal and local interests which ultimately put bad impacts on the good governance of the province. Hence, this research paper illustrated that the lack of political awareness and Sardari system of Balochistan also put negative impacts on the governance of Balochistan. In this pattern, the research paper is based on the qualitative approach in nature - explored the different facts, and investigated the historical event in order to find out the cause of weak political system in Balochistan.
