It was not founded as 'East Pakistan Awami League'. It was founded as 'Awami Muslim League' to distinct it from 'Muslim League' which was mostly dominated by ellite of that time. Later the word 'Muslim' was cut to make it more seculer and attract considerable hindu minority in East Pakistan. It was founded by 'Hussain Shaheed Soharwardi'. This is the reason 'Awami League' Hides it history if you don't believe do a search on their website no mention of any history of the party! [1]. and not surprisingly no mention of the Creator of the party on entire website [2]. Please for confirmation check [3]. I am entering the information in a way that it won't be offending for many people.
I'm not sure how any of these affiliations are justified. What links the Democratic Party of USA, Indian National Congress and the UK Labour Party? The ideologies of these parties are not quite the same. Unless any proof is provided, I'd prefer to remove all such "affiliations". -- Ragib 18:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Awami League is well known as democratic party through out the World.Awami leagues branch organisations of Germany,Great Britain,France,Italy and many other EU countries maintain sound relationship with many political parties and social organisations of EU. In some countries these party activist are very well accepted as local party activist.Due to the Military take Over of 1975 and assassination of Father of the Nation Bango Bhandhu Sk.Mujibur Rahman Awami League have highest number of foreign activist and they all well organised.Awami League in EU or USA is capable to call a demonstration and capable to make it successful in big Cities like New york,Los-Angeles,Dallas,Chicago,Berlin,Paris,London,Madrid,Stockholm.Oslo,Amsterdam,Brussels,Copenhagen,Helsinki,Warsaw,Moscow,Kiev and many other EU cities and villages even, same is the case with Asia-Pacific countries.In Scandinavian countries,Great Britain and Germany and all most all EU countries AL party activist are connected the main stream politics. During the ruling of last Care taker Government ,the protest action of AL activists of the above mentioned countries were covered by well stabilised International news media and created enormous pressure to relise political detainees including our President Sk.Hasina Wazed.EU Awami League created pressure on EU head office in Brussels in order to create further political pressure on Bangladesh Military Govt. after 1975 several times . These series of political activities were only possible by party activist for having strong ties with the central AL Office of Bangladesh and AL activist have enough confidence on Party President Sk.Hasina Wazed.She is the source of power and steering of Awami ideology.The party is very well known and affiliated with British Labour Party,Conservative Parties as well Democrats and Republican in USA.In Germany Awami League is well connected with SPD,CDU,CSU and the Alliance 90 Green party.In Sweden with Social democratic party.The Austrian and Greece Awami League are two strongest base of EU AL.If some one need any help,the party activist will be too glad to help any one regardless to their party origin,religion etc.AL activists help gladly Bangladesh Citizen but other citizen can seek help from AL activist through out Europe and North America. One who has written the above article must be very busy with his education or business or some thing else. The current Awami League is bigger than ever before and are affiliated with many many organisations of the World.The party activist are well organised and are getting bigger and united day by day.......... If these are not enough then for further documentary evidence please contact AL Head Office in Bangladesh -- Frankfurt55 ( talk) 01:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)-- Frankfurt55 ( talk) 01:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bangladesh Awami League's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

While today's AL has no idealogy, removing social liberalism and social democracy from the infobox is unacceptable and politically motivated. Keep in mind, this party was once the region's leading liberal democratic force aside from the Congress in India.-- Uck22 ( talk) 18:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

If there's Bengali text, what sense does it make to say "translated from Urdu"? -- Salma Mahmoud ( talk) 23:15, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
What was quite funny though was the fact that some Awami League ( was founded as All Pakistan Awami Muslim League in Dhaka, the capital of the then Pakistani province of East Bengal) politicians criticise ‘Zindabad’ word for its urdu origin but their party bear a urdu name [4] and awami party flag also bears a close resemblance to the flag of Pakistan!! in 2011; a survey also found that most of Bangladeshis even don't know the meaning of awam. ;-))))--- Gaurh ( talk) 10:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
As a result of a recent minor dispute, the last true ideology (outside of nationalist and patriotic tendencies) has been removed. It would however be nice to have a proper ideology with a functional source present to accurately describe the party. Such sources needs to mention the ideologies themselves, and being member of an organization does not guarantee a certain ideology. As for the source itself, it must be considered reliable. It doesn't really matter what language it is written in, though english would be prefeered because this is english wikipedia. If anyone were to find a source backing the position as well, that would be highly appreciated! Vif12vf/Tiberius ( talk) 17:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
According to the party and sources it is AL, therefore we should use that. Vinegarymass911 ( talk) 13:06, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
The first sentence has become unwieldy. Setting aside the question of references for a moment, I suggest the text be changed from:
The Bangladesh Awami League ( Bengali: বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ; translated from Urdu: Bangladesh People's League), often simply called the Awami League or AL, is one of the two major political parties of Bangladesh.
to:
The Bangladesh Awami League ( Bengali: বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ; commonly abbreviated as AL), is one of the two major political parties of Bangladesh.
The revised construction borrows from good article Progress Party (Norway), another political party whose common abbreviation (FrP) is not necessarily intuitive from their full English name. The change would better serve our readers and better align with policies and guidelines.
Returning to the question of references, scholarly works are preferred. I earlier offered: Fukui, Haruhiro (1985) Political parties of Asia and the Pacific. Greenwood Press. p. 39, 41-42. If that it still considered unacceptable, then perhaps: Day, Alan John (2002) Political Parties of the World. John Harper (or the 2009 edition by Sagar, D. J.). I'm reluctant to use a source without consulting the full text, which I will not be able to do for a while, but a Google snippet of page 38 suggests that it might serve. If the official-ness of the abbreviation is the sticking point, then perhaps https://www.thedailystar.net/bangladesh-national-election-2018/re-elect-awami-league-keep-progress-pm-sheikh-hasina-1676386 would help, since it quotes the leader of the party for the past 38 years calling it "AL".
If consensus can be reached on the first sentence, then I believe it will be fairly easy to reach a consensus on the infobox. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 06:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Wiki N Islam I think the one source supporting social liberalism makes it WP:UNDUE weight for the infobox. I'd also argue it is outdated. We have reliable sources stating that the party is authoritarian, has acted against free speech, arrested critics, censored the media and cracked down on LGBT people. These actions are completely against the ideology of social liberalism. Helper201 ( talk) 12:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
@ Helper201 I think the best will be to add in the ideology section of the Infobox is Social liberalism, secularism, environmentalism and pro-Indianism. We have some reliable sources to justify these. Most of the South Asian parties have dual nature: ideological & pragmatic. Most often, these policies contradict each other (Exception: Indian National Congress). Though AL is pragmatically authoritarian & sightly moderate Islamist, it's more liberal & secular than it's archrival BNP in ideological course. It's not Bengali nationalist anymore, coz it doesn't anymore promote Bengali reunification. Moreover, it works for the rights of Jumma people, notably Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord & addition of the article concerning the tribal rights in the Constitution. Wiki N Islam ( talk) 05:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi dear, there are some users that are making up false assumptions that Awami league is right wing when it stands for opposite. Awami league does not stand for muslim league and even was behind the liberation of bangladesh. Awami league bought back secularism in bangladesh and intended to destroy religious fanatics. Once again, i have provided valuable information as well as enough evidence to support claim that Awami league isnt right wing and defiantly stands for left wing.

Wiki N Islam I think the one source supporting social liberalism makes it WP:UNDUE weight for the infobox. I'd also argue it is outdated. We have reliable sources stating that the party is authoritarian, has acted against free speech, arrested critics, censored the media and cracked down on LGBT people. These actions are completely against the ideology of social liberalism. Helper201 ( talk) 12:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
@ Helper201 I think the best will be to add in the ideology section of the Infobox is Social liberalism, secularism, environmentalism and pro-Indianism. We have some reliable sources to justify these. Most of the South Asian parties have dual nature: ideological & pragmatic. Most often, these policies contradict each other (Exception: Indian National Congress). Though AL is pragmatically authoritarian & sightly moderate Islamist, it's more liberal & secular than it's archrival BNP in ideological course. It's not Bengali nationalist anymore, coz it doesn't anymore promote Bengali reunification. Moreover, it works for the rights of Jumma people, notably Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord & addition of the article concerning the tribal rights in the Constitution.

Hi dear, there are some users that are making up false assumptions that Awami league is right wing when it stands for opposite. Awami league does not stand for muslim league and even was behind the liberation of bangladesh. Awami league bought back secularism in bangladesh and intended to destroy religious fanatics. Once again, i have provided valuable information as well as enough evidence to support claim that Awami league isnt right wing and defiantly stands for left wing.
