The history of student politics in Bangladesh carries great significance. Compared to pre-liberation student politics, today’s scene is pernicious and disappointing. During enrollment season, student leaders try to manipulate the candidates with their dogmas, pushing them towards party politics. Today’s student politics is neither people-oriented nor education-oriented -- it is all about personal interest and power. There is no doubt that student politics is more or less responsible for the degradation in the invention and research field.
