The last few years have been so bleak — Trump's disastrous four years in the White House, the police murders of George Floyd and other Black Americans, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the rise of authoritarian regimes around the world. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless in the face of such challenges. However, amidst the chaos and despair, there is a glimmer of hope that we can hold onto: the politics of joy.

Despite the darkness that surrounds us, joy has the power to uplift, inspire, and unite us. It is a force that can bring people together, spark positive change, and sustain us through difficult times.

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Sheikh Hasina, today (5 August) told BBC that there would be no political comeback for his mother. Joy expressed his mother's profound disappointment, highlighting the contrast between her achievements and the current unrest. Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, announced on Monday that his mother will not return to politics. This statement follows Hasina's decision to leave the country for her safety, following her family's.

In the face of adversity, joy can be a powerful tool for resilience and resistance. It can motivate us to keep fighting for justice, equality, and democracy. Joy reminds us of our humanity, our shared values, and our capacity to create a better world for future generations.

No Political Comeback for Hasina: There will be no political comeback for Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy told BBC today. Despite the challenges and obstacles we face, joy has the ability to sustain us and give us the strength to continue our work for a more just and equitable society.

Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, said his mother left the country for her safety, following her family's. In the midst of despair and uncertainty, joy can serve as a guiding light, a source of hope and inspiration that fuels our activism and fuels our determination to create a better world.

South Asia News: Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy on Monday said that his mother will not be returning to politics. The politics of joy is not just about feeling good or being happy; it is about harnessing positive emotions to drive meaningful change and build a more just and equitable society.

In times of darkness and despair, joy can be a powerful force for transformation and healing. It can help us find common ground, build solidarity, and create a sense of belonging and community. Joy is not just a fleeting emotion; it is a state of being that can sustain us through the most difficult of times.
