In January 2025, Bangladesh decided to remove the word "Secularism" from its constitution.
The change is part of a broader shift towards emphasizing the role of Islam in the country's governance, while still recognizing Islam as the state religion.
Secularism was included in the Bangladeshi constitution after the country's separation from Pakistan in 1971, as one of its founding principles, aiming to establish a state that was neutral towards religion.
