Rethinking Political Culture Bangladesh Perspective

Abstract

<p><em>At present most of the developing countries are trying to establish democratic political culture in their domestic politics. Bangladesh is also an emerging country which has been passing a very crucial situation for a long time in its political arena to do this. The essential prerequisites of developed political culture were almost absent in our politics since its beginning. The reasons of that are many. As other developing and new independent states, Bangladesh also needs to overcome many challenges of its political system. Among all those challenges the establishment of democracy, eradication of corruption, establishment of rule of law, ensuring of independent judicial system, proper institutionalization of politics, arrangement of impartial, free, fair and periodical election, practicing tolerance and moral values among the political parties and leaders etc. are more important. After post independence of Bangladesh most of the political parties have taken serious attempts to develop political culture. But, because of violating the principles of democratic values by both ruling and opposition parties Bangladesh has not yet achieved its expected goal of political culture. My present study is an attempt to summarize the nature of Bangladeshi political culture by analyzing the political activities during the various regimes of government.</em></p>
