The video is from #QuotaReformBD protest. Students of Bangladesh united throughout the country for a protest to reform the quota system of the country, They also protested against police assault on the protesting students of Dhaka University on university campus.

The quota system was introduced through an executive order in 1972 and was amended several times. Currently, 44 percent are recruited on merit and 56 percent under various quotas.

Of the 56 percent, 30 percent is kept for freedom fighters' children and grandchildren, 10 percent for women, 10 percent for people of districts lagging behind, 5 percent for members of indigenous communities, and one percent for physically-challenged people.

Since 1972, several public service reform committees and the Public Service Commission, the body that oversees government recruitment, objected to the policy.

However, subsequent governments paid no heed to the suggestions for making room for more efficient people in bureaucracy by reforming the quota structure, leading to anger among the youths in the midst of a slowing job market.
