From his base in London, Bangladeshi political activist and lawyer Nijhum Mojumdar traces a dark convergence between global power games and local fanaticism. Speaking to 5WH in an exclusive interview, he alleged that foreign agencies and Western governments are exploiting Bangladesh as a proxy front in their rivalry with India and China, while Islamist groups inside the country tighten their grip amid democratic collapse.
Sitting in a quiet Washington lounge between back-to-back meetings, Nijhum Mojumdar spoke not as a lawyer but as a man alarmed by what he calls Bangladesh’s rapid descent into chaos.
