July Uprising Day - Wikipedia
This Wikipedia article describes July Uprising Day (officially "July Mass Uprising Day"), a national public holiday in Bangladesh observed annually on August 5, commemorating the 2024 July Uprising that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee to India after 15 years in power. The article covers the background of the uprising, which began on July 1, 2024, when students launched a quota reform movement, eventually escalating into a mass non-cooperation movement demanding Hasina's resignation. It also details the lengthy political process of officially establishing the holiday, including debates over its name, its classification as a "Category A" holiday in June 2025, and its formal declaration as a public holiday via government gazette on July 2, 2025, with celebrations including floral tributes, rallies, air shows, concerts, and documentary screenings.
