In this episode, we explore the social media storm surrounding Bangladesh’s recent July-August uprising. As journalists and activists share personal accounts of the movement, tensions rise over claims of individual credit. But was this truly the work of a few? The featured essay argues otherwise—highlighting the uprising's core values of pluralism, collective spirit, and generational change. We unpack why preserving this autonomous momentum matters more than spotlighting any single voice, and how ego-driven narratives could weaken a movement that was never meant to belong to one.
