Liberation War

The one thought that I cannot purge, as I am sitting cross-legged on the street at Shabagh square and chanting death to the collaborators, is this: what will happen when all these war criminals are hanged? Will this put an end to the bickering politics, unbridled corruption and all other looming crisis that the nation is facing? And then, I have this epiphany: what is happening now could be the long-awaited youth awakening to build a beautiful Bangladesh. Details…

Bangladeshi people have always proven themselves as a brave nation.They fought against Pakistan even when they were not enriched with weapon and power! Fighting against all the odds, they earned the liberty and gave birth to an independent country ‘Bangladesh’. Details…

IT IS MY FIRST DEMAND BUT NOT THE LAST ONE. Throughout my personal and political life I consciously and actively avoided any kind of cheap and self-enriching opportunity, neither I sought or accepted any position in the government, though it was possible and real for me. Details…

On a visit to Basundhara City with my friends, I suddenly decided to see the film ‘Amar Bondhu Rashed’. I had high expectations for this film since I’ve seen several films by the same director, Morshedul Islam, who is one of my favourite directors.

I learned that this movie was financed by the government. And, I also knew that ‘Amar Bondhu Rashed’ is a renowned novel by Md Zafar Iqbal. I never read the book.

When I watch a movie all I do is scrutinise the elements of the movie, trying to figure it out. Whether it feels real or not. ‘Amar Bondhu Rashed’ is a movie based on the Liberation War of Bangladesh. Correct historical information is important in this movie.

So, when the movie started, it went on like a bunch of flashing memories of a friend of Rashed, who is known as Ibu. He shares his wartime memories with his son Rashed (named after his martyred friend). Within the flashback of the Liberation War, director Morshedul Islam failed to show the incidents that took place in that time. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s speech on March 7 was telecast on radio. In the film, Rashed tells his friends, that this is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s speech. I think this shot was completely irrelevant, because Sheikh Mujib’s speech was so significant at that time that it needed no recognition from someone.

The government should search for the thana/union-wise war criminal list on the basis of the record of the liberation period throughout the country and to let people as well as the new generation to know about them, which will help to mobilise our future generation to realise the importance of the campaign in favour of the government and the war criminal tribunal too, which is obviously at international standard.

Bangladesh is a land of rivers and has a long sea area around the border. No doubt we have a prestigious force like the Bangladesh Navy, an eternal vigilant of our country in the sea and in the coastal area. This organisation has a brilliant role in our Liberation War abreast the army and air force and they fought valiantly against our Pakistan enemies after the declaration of independence by our great leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1971.

Genocide in Bangladesh, 1971

“…… we were told to kill the hindus and Kafirs (non-believer in God). One day in June, we cordoned a village and were ordered to kill the Kafirs in that area. We found all the village women reciting from the Holy Quran, and the men holding special congregational prayers seeking God’s mercy. But they were unlucky. Our commanding officer ordered us not to waste any time.”
