In this episode of The Bangladesh Frequency, we dive into the escalating South Asian tensions as India and Pakistan edge closer to conflict with blasts in Jammu and Amritsar, military maneuvers, airspace restrictions, and Meghalaya’s border curfew with Bangladesh. On the home front, Bangladesh sees a political flashpoint as protests in Savar and Shahbagh call for a ban on the Awami League, with groups like the NCP and Students Against Discrimination leading the charge amidst highway blockades and growing public unrest. We also examine the interim government's strained response, mounting criticism, and the ongoing heatwave and mosquito crisis in Dhaka. Finally, we round up global tech headlines—from Google’s privacy settlement and Spotify’s legal win over Apple, to Trump’s controversial energy and immigration policies, and Apple’s central role in Google’s antitrust battle.
