The movement has already proved to have a long term impact on the nation, irrespective of the results. If it ends successfully, though that remains a distant possibility, people would be inspired to raise further demands using this experience which may change the future of Bangladesh.

The ongoing war crimes trials and the fallout from the verdicts justify the necessity of a progressive movement like Shahbag. The movement epitomizes the frustrations of generations who disapprove of the path Bangladesh has been walking since its independence. A country that adopted secularism as its fundamental tenet has drifted too far from its original promise of a progressive society. Bangladesh and Shahbag in that respect share a converging future, as the outcomes of this movement will ultimately determine the long term status of Bangladesh.
