July Mass Uprising Day is observed in Bangladesh every August 5 to commemorate the July Revolution of 2024, which led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The uprising was sparked by the reinstatement of a controversial quota policy for public sector jobs, prompting widespread protests, particularly among university students. The protests escalated into violent clashes, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. On August 5, referred to by protesters as "July 36," a significant demonstration took place in front of the prime minister's official residence, culminating in Hasina fleeing the country. The day is marked by various celebrations, including victory processions, film screenings, Sufi music performances, prayer gatherings, and remembrance ceremonies for those who lost their lives during the revolution. In 2025, the government officially declared August 5 a public holiday, recognizing the significance of the events that unfolded during the uprising.
