Samia Rahman and Syed Mahfujul Haque Marjan

After the Liberation war Bangladesh started its journey towards democracy. However, the democracy of the country stumbled several times due to the the breakdown of political parties. The enmity and distrust among the political parties, religious extremists groups, lack of good governance, corruption, violent protest brought the failure of the democracy. Military rules and discontinuity of democracy brought the steps of third force. As a result the parliament becomes less important and inactive. In this paper, the present problems underlying these facts in Bangladesh are analyzed and focused on how the fragile democracy brings third force to take the power and indicates the states towards the path of failure.
