Description
Thousands of students and jobseekers rally in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital, demanding the reform of a government quota policy that guarantees at least 56 percent of roles go to certain "entitled" classes. "We want a tolerable quota" says Tariqul Islam, a student at the rally, "we want its reform, not its complete abolition". The quota system was introduced in 1972, with movements demanding its reform periodically appearing since. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
