International affiliation

I'm not sure how any of these affiliations are justified. What links the Democratic Party of USA, Indian National Congress and the UK Labour Party? The ideologies of these parties are not quite the same. Unless any proof is provided, I'd prefer to remove all such "affiliations". --Ragib 18:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Note: It is really fishy: I don't think even AL claims these affiliations. However, all these parties help AL to some extent or other in real life but that can't be called "affiliation." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

Awami Kutta League is well known as democratic party through out the World.Awami leagues branch organisations of Germany,Great Britain,France,Italy and many other EU countries maintain sound relationship with many political parties and social organisations of EU. In some countries these party activist are very well accepted as local party activist.Due to the Military take Over of 1975 and assassination of Father of the Nation Bango Bhandhu Sk.Mujibur Rahman Awami League have highest number of foreign activist and they all well organised.Awami League in EU or USA is capable to call a demonstration and capable to make it successful in big Cities like New york,Los-Angeles,Dallas,Chicago,Berlin,Paris,London,Madrid,Stockholm.Oslo,Amsterdam,Brussels,Copenhagen,Helsinki,Warsaw,Moscow,Kiev and many other EU cities and villages even, same is the case with Asia-Pacific countries.In Scandinavian countries,Great Britain and Germany and all most all EU countries AL party activist are connected the main stream politics. During the ruling of last Care taker Government ,the protest action of AL activists of the above mentioned countries were covered by well stabilised International news media and created enormous pressure to relise political detainees including our President Sk.Hasina Wazed.EU Awami League created pressure on EU head office in Brussels in order to create further political pressure on Bangladesh Military Govt. after 1975 several times . These series of political activities were only possible by party activist for having strong ties with the central AL Office of Bangladesh and AL activist have enough confidence on Party President Sk.Hasina Wazed.She is the source of power and steering of Awami ideology.The party is very well known and affiliated with British Labour Party,Conservative Parties as well Democrats and Republican in USA.In Germany Awami League is well connected with SPD,CDU,CSU and the Alliance 90 Green party.In Sweden with Social democratic party.The Austrian and Greece Awami League are two strongest base of EU AL.If some one need any help,the party activist will be too glad to help any one regardless to their party origin,religion etc.AL activists help gladly Bangladesh Citizen but other citizen can seek help from AL activist through out Europe and North America. One who has written the above article must be very busy with his education or business or some thing else. The current Awami League is bigger than ever before and are affiliated with many many organisations of the World.The party activist are well organised and are getting bigger and united day by day..........

Restoring NPOV

"in the 18 democratic years"

History does not make distinction between democratic and undemocratic years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .

Note: 1975-1990 democratic? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

"failed to some extent"

False statement. "The government failed". Please act like an adult. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .

Note: Better try acting neutral. The UN predicted half-a-million death in 1972 alone, to start with. And consider the left over Pakistan lovers. Extreme communists. Jasod. Sorbohara. No one's claiming total success for the first AL government, but total failure? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

"As Bangladesh continued exporting jute to Egypt violating US economic sanction, the Nixon government barred food-grain supplies from reaching the country that Bangladesh had already paid for."

"mostly revolutionary communist elements"

False! All political opponents were targeted. And it was preceded by no insurgency. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .

Note: Bangladesh did not have almost any right wing party at that time, and all the parties other than AL rallied behind Jasod. The Sorboharas were blowing police stations, district adminstrative offices, looting banks, killing MP's, demanding a communist state ruled by Jasod (Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal or National Socialist Party). What else to make it an insurgency? Also, the remnants and offsprings of the Sorbohara still exist in south-west, re-emerging after 2000 after a few years gap. They are still considered insurgents as capable of India's Naxals or Maoists to much extent. Please contradict me if you know better, but please don't if you just read about these. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

"massacre"

It does not qualify as massacre. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .

Note: Well, as you define it. For some people killing two means massacre, for some 3 million is too little. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

More changes are required to make this article objective. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.92.56.28 (talk • contribs) .

Note: Then why don't you make it objective rather than going blindly bashing anyone? History is about telling the truth not calculating who is to be blamed. Please help better the article than trying to politicise it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.208.182 (talk • contribs) .

Orphaned references in Bangladesh Awami Kutta League

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bangladesh Awami League's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Idealogy in infobox

While today's AL has no idealogy, removing social liberalism and social democracy from the infobox is unacceptable and politically motivated. Keep in mind, this party was once the region's leading liberal democratic force aside from the Congress in India.--Uck22 (talk) 18:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Unexplained removal

If there's Bengali text, what sense does it make to say "translated from Urdu"? --Salma Mahmoud (talk) 23:15, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Bengali text is there for Transliteration, not for Translation. Awami/Awam both are Urdu words, nerver adopted or used by Bengalis for common people or general public.

What was quite funny though was the fact that some Awami League ( was founded as All Pakistan Awami Muslim League in Dhaka, the capital of the then Pakistani province of East Bengal) politicians criticise ‘Zindabad’ word for its urdu origin but their party bear a urdu name [1] and awami party flag also bears a close resemblance to the flag of Pakistan!! in 2011; a survey also found that most of Bangladeshis even don't know the meaning of awam. ;-))))---Gaurh (talk) 10:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Its only there for transliteration now because you've edited it to say so. Either way, your proposition still doesn't make any sense because I'm pretty sure that "league" isn't a Bengali word either; so its quite redundant to include "translated from Urdu" in the lead paragraph of an article about a Bengali party that, as you've pointed out, wants to distance themselves from Urdu. --Salma Mahmoud (talk) 20:20, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Indeed "league" isn't a Bengali word but "adopted urdu" (loan) word (Urdu: لیگ) (wiktionary: لیگ) borrowings from English language. You can ask or may request awami politicians to rename their party! If possible, start RFC, good luck!—Gaurh (talk) 09:18, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Bengali Translation of "Bangladesh Awami League" is "বাংলাদেশ গণসংঘ" Bānlādēśa gaṇasaṅgha- "Bangladesh Ganasangha"—Gaurh (talk) 00:17, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Ideology and position in infobox

As a result of a recent minor dispute, the last true ideology (outside of nationalist and patriotic tendencies) has been removed. It would however be nice to have a proper ideology with a functional source present to accurately describe the party. Such sources needs to mention the ideologies themselves, and being member of an organization does not guarantee a certain ideology. As for the source itself, it must be considered reliable. It doesn't really matter what language it is written in, though english would be prefeered because this is english wikipedia. If anyone were to find a source backing the position as well, that would be highly appreciated! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 17:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

AL or BAL

According to the party and sources it is AL, therefore we should use that.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 13:06, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

AL is acceptable as long as it is sourced, but no way does the abbreviation need 12 sources, all put in the lead! About 2-4 could be put besides the abbreviation in the infobox and that would be enough! Having 12 sources for just the abbreviation alone is quite over-excessive, but perhaps some of the sources recently added might have other uses in the article instead? Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:28, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

First sentence

The first sentence has become unwieldy. Setting aside the question of references for a moment, I suggest the text be changed from:

The Bangladesh Awami League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ; translated from Urdu: Bangladesh People's League), often simply called the Awami League or AL, is one of the two major political parties of Bangladesh.

to:

The Bangladesh Awami Kutta League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ; commonly abbreviated as AL), is one of the two major political parties of Bangladesh.

The revised construction borrows from good article Progress Party (Norway), another political party whose common abbreviation (FrP) is not necessarily intuitive from their full English name. The change would better serve our readers and better align with policies and guidelines.

• Omitting the translation from Urdu: According to MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarize the body with appropriate weight. The Urdu translation doesn't appear in the body, so it shouldn't appear in the lead. Perhaps it should be added to the body, but even if it were, it wouldn't belong in the lead because it isn't one of the most important points about the party, any more than it's essential that the linguistic root of the name "Labour Party" is Latin or "Democratic Party" is Greek.
• Omitting the common shortening to Awami League: Much as with MOS:INITIALS for people or the legal status suffix for companies, it is not necessary to explain that Bangladesh Awami League is usually called Awami League. That is an obvious shortening and from the article title being "Awami League" it's plain that it is common.

Returning to the question of references, scholarly works are preferred. I earlier offered: Fukui, Haruhiro (1985) Political parties of Asia and the Pacific. Greenwood Press. p. 39, 41-42. If that it still considered unacceptable, then perhaps: Day, Alan John (2002) Political Parties of the World. John Harper (or the 2009 edition by Sagar, D. J.). I'm reluctant to use a source without consulting the full text, which I will not be able to do for a while, but a Google snippet of page 38 suggests that it might serve. If the official-ness of the abbreviation is the sticking point, then perhaps https://www.thedailystar.net/bangladesh-national-election-2018/re-elect-awami-league-keep-progress-pm-sheikh-hasina-1676386 would help, since it quotes the leader of the party for the past 38 years calling it "AL".

If consensus can be reached on the first sentence, then I believe it will be fairly easy to reach a consensus on the infobox. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I think your proposed version of the first sentence is a good idea. Having urdu in the article is a bit weird though considering it is not an official language in Bangladesh. According to the article about the country, 98% speaks bengali or "bangla". Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Awami is a Urdu word, it has no meaning in Bangla, which is why it says translated from Urdu. The English meaning should be present because it is an English Language encyclopedia. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 15:35, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

@Vinegarymass911, @Worldbruce I Think Awami League, this political organizations name is Bangladesh Awami League according their official website. Ref: https://albd.org/, This should be changes. Is it? Prodipto Deloar (Talk • Contribute) 05:20, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@Prodipto Deloar: Huh? I can't understand what you're asking or proposing. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:04, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@Worldbruce I propose that This article name change with Bangladesh Awami League name. Prodipto Deloar (Talk • Contribute) 06:09, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

No, it should not be changed. "Awami League" is the WP:COMMONNAME of the party, so that's what the name of the article should be. "Bangladesh Awami League" is the official name of the party, which is why it appears in the first sentence. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:31, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Social liberalism

Wiki N Islam I think the one source supporting social liberalism makes it WP:UNDUE weight for the infobox. I'd also argue it is outdated. We have reliable sources stating that the party is authoritarian, has acted against free speech, arrested critics, censored the media and cracked down on LGBT people. These actions are completely against the ideology of social liberalism. Helper201 (talk) 12:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

AL was still authoritarian & anti-LGBT when the source was published (in 2018). I've previously said that liberal, progressive & secular politics in Bangladesh (specifically, in a conservative Islamic country) cannot be defined in the general global perspective & most of the local independent & reliable sources cite AL as secular & liberal/social liberal. Also, homosexuality isn't a recurring topic in Bangladesh and most political parties ignore as most of the population are conservative and against the legalization of homosexuality. Also, AL was the first govt. to recognize and protectionize third gender & transgenders (Hijras) Wiki N Islam (talk) 13:03, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Social liberalism and liberalism in general have a globally defined meaning, of which this party clearly doesn't meet. Wikipedia is a global and international platform and we define parties via global standards of what constitutes various ideologies like liberalism, not what is considered liberalism in a specific country. Even if one ignores the LGBT aspect (which is illiberal to crackdown on LGBT regardless of location), being authoritarian, acting against free speech, arresting critics and censoring media is universally illiberal. Helper201 (talk) 13:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok, but AL is still social liberal fiscally. And I hope you will find a reliable source to add secularism cause AL is the national platform for secularism in Bangladesh and Bangladeshis will suspect the relevance of Wikipedia for the absence of secularism in the article. Many local & regional (i.e. Indian) sources cited AL as secular. Wiki N Islam (talk) 13:35, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Social liberalism is primarily a social ideology, hence the name, so adding it is problematic since the party is not liberal in regards to its social ideology, so that could lead to a lot of confusion for the average reader. In regards to secularism I think this has been questioned in multiple regards. Such as the party not speaking out when secularists and atheists have been killed, as cited on this page. I've also got a source here there explicitly states "the supposedly secular Awami League", putting this ideology into question. And this one that states "the Awami League appears to be falling short in defending Bangladesh’s secularism". And another author states "Both the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party have Islamist allies and wear their religious identity with pride." We still have the "Ideology" section of this article which outlines that the party self-defines as secular, which I think is a good compromise. To what degree the party is still secular as of 2023 is definitely questionable. Helper201 (talk) 14:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Dear,

you have extreme misconceptions. Awami leauge is still standing for secularism and is giving rights to transgender and other minorities. It still strongly stands for secularism. As for attacks on athiest bloggers, that is questionable as Awami league took firm action against the killers and even gave them death sentence. Once again, I repeat there is evidence that awami league isnt right wing and still stands for secularism. Also, authotorianism and liberism is not really same thing and there are many secular leaders like Suharto that was authotorian.By the way sheikh hasina won the elections democratically so she is not actually authotorian but acts authotorian towards illiterate journalists. 2607:FEA8:A75B:7100:5A4:16B3:2839:64DB (talk) 15:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

You are right. I support adding Secularism & Social liberalism in the ideology. We can't hide it for a long time. Wiki N Islam (talk) 08:44, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I've provided multiple sources above that contradict this. Helper201 (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Ideology

@Helper201 I think the best will be to add in the ideology section of the Infobox is Social liberalism, secularism, environmentalism and pro-Indianism. We have some reliable sources to justify these. Most of the South Asian parties have dual nature: ideological & pragmatic. Most often, these policies contradict each other (Exception: Indian National Congress). Though AL is pragmatically authoritarian & sightly moderate Islamist, it's more liberal & secular than it's archrival BNP in ideological course. It's not Bengali nationalist anymore, coz it doesn't anymore promote Bengali reunification. Moreover, it works for the rights of Jumma people, notably Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord & addition of the article concerning the tribal rights in the Constitution. Wiki N Islam (talk) 05:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Wiki N Islam, disagree, I think we should keep things as they are. I've outlined the multiple issues with the claims of social liberalism and secularism in the above discussion. We don't rate parties on how they differ from their rivals but how they are defined on an international fact-based analysis. The nuanced nature of the main text which describes and makes clear how the party self-defines is a good compromise here. Helper201 (talk) 11:42, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

we can't keep it hide for a long time. We have to come to a consensus about the ideology. AL isn't Bengali nationalist for sure. So it's either be considered as secular or liberal. Most of the local third-party source describes AL secular. More reliable sources can be found also. Wiki N Islam (talk) 09:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

why don't we come up with a new term? HASINAISM. Cause for last 3 decades AL's policy has been around the interest of Hasina and his family. Hasinaism is a political position that involves Pro-Idian policy, dynastic survival of Sheikh family and Secular appeasement (can't call it secular cause she has backed down on secularism in many instances). Rsakib188 (talk) 14:16, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Awami leaague is not a right wing party at all

Hi dear, there are some users that are making up false assumptions that Awami league is right wing when it stands for opposite. Awami league does not stand for muslim league and even was behind the liberation of bangladesh. Awami league bought back secularism in bangladesh and intended to destroy religious fanatics. Once again, i have provided valuable information as well as enough evidence to support claim that Awami league isnt right wing and defiantly stands for left wing.

Socialism

It's been more than 30 years this party is not socialist. Hasina used the word 'socialism' in the 2024 interview in a wrong way - which is why it is in quotation marks in the interview. She used it to mean "outcome". So no, the patry did not return to socialism in 2024. The article should be reworded. --95.24.80.215 (talk) 18:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

it is mentioned in the intro of the page, but not in the “State leaders from the AL, 1971–present” section, it still shows her as active; unless I’m mistaking that section for something else.

 Done It was easy enough to find sources given that it's a current news story, but make sure to include sources in future requests or it might not be answered. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:44, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Stranger43286 Neutral - While it was a important chapter of Bangladesh with corruption, crackdown on opposition and economic struggles and others, In my opinion, I'm not saying no or yes. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 11:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Stranger43286 Also I am kindly asking you to fix your grammar and other stuff.

You said:

You should say:

"Can we make a article on second Hasina Government because this was an important chapter in the history of Bangladesh". BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 11:28, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Stranger43286 We should, but covering Hasina's 15 year will be tough. Mehedi Abedin 14:16, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Mehedi Abedin Yeah, It will be tough, It might take dozens of editors like us to Expand and Improve the page. Not all of us have the ability to patrol and edit 24/7. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 17:14, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Agree for the article titled Premiership of Sheikh Hasina, which would cover both of her terms (1996–2001 and 2009–2024). Ahammed Saad (talk) 16:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ahammed Saad If premiership of Sheikh Hasina is created, then can I write about other prime ministers of Bangladesh? I will begin writing on 3 November. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 17:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

You are welcome. Please knock me if you start that. Ahammed Saad (talk) 17:55, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ahammed Saad Ok Sure. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 01:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

@BangladeshiEditorInSylhet @Ahammed Saad I have created the article History of Awami League. But It is almost fully copyedited from the History section. You can help by adding more content. BangladeshiStranger🇧🇩 (talk) 13:33, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

First let's edit this article's history section and summarize the History of Awami League's contents here, guys. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Agree for the article titled Premiership of Sheikh Hasina. Tuhin (talk) 13:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 13 December 2024

Awami League → Bangladesh Awami League – The correct name of the party is "Bangladesh Awami League" it is also written on the official website of the party and it means Bangladesh People's League and is simply called Awami League for abbreviation so it is better to put the full name of the party, because the opposition party it is called BNP for short but its Wikipedia page gives its full name and is called Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

• Support – And change Awami League to a disambiguation page, as a few other organisations have the same name but with disambiguating descriptors, e.g. All-Pakistan Awami League. Yue🌙 12:08, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
