This study analyzes the role of three major Bangladeshi newspapers, Janakantha, Prothom Alo and Amar Desh, in shaping national identities in contemporary Bangladesh. I combine two methods: Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Content Analysis, to examine these newspapers' content over three years: 2012, 2013, and 2014. By employing the CDA method, I closely examine the news texts of three high-profile events that occurred in 2013: Shahbagh movement, the murder of blogger Rajib, and the Hefajat movement, and find evidence of two competing camps in Bangladesh: "radical pro-Islam" and "radical pro-freedom fight". Based on the critical discourse analysis of nine front-page articles' related to these three events, this study observes a discursive construction of a radical "pro-Islam" narrative in the Amar Desh's coverage and that of radical "pro-freedom fight" narratives in Janakantha and Prothom Alo's coverage. In doing so, these two groups of newspapers construct a divided ideological world between "us" and "them". My analysis demonstrates how the discourse of each newspaper creates meanings related to national identities and ideologies that serve to justify the interests of "us" and to criticize "them".
