Khaleda Zia

Prime Minister of Bangladesh (1991–1996, 2001–2006)

Khaleda Zia is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Khaleda Zia as Prime Minister of Bangladesh (1991–1996, 2001–2006).

Khaleda Zia was born at Jalpaiguri in 1946. Her recorded nationality is British Raj.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

The record gives her occupations as politician.

Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

Her work was formally recognised with the Independence Award.

Working from British Raj shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.

Khaleda Zia died in 2025 at the age of 79. The work outlived the arguments around it.
