Rebuilding democracy in Bangladesh
A talk with Himal covering immediate priorities as well as institutional reforms
I talked with Nayantara Narayanan of Himal on 9 October on the critical period of transition for Bangladesh, when the interim government have to lay the groundwork for free and fair elections as well as to release Bangladesh's public institutions from the grip of the fallen regime. The episode was published on 21 October.
Meanwhile, a few prominent formerly exiled dissidents are currently in Dhaka and will discuss challenges of restoring democracy with young activists as well as people in the current administration. Attendance is highly recommended.

Again you didn't mention the fact that majority of the NPLs were from public sector banks. I know you didn't want to get into technical details but I think this factoid is very, very important.
