Back when I met Sheikh Hasina in 1957, she was a lanky young girl and her father, Sheikh Mujib was the minister of the provincial government. Who could have guessed that Sheikh Hasina would have to bear the burden of the nation like her great father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding Fa...

Allah, the Almighty is the only protector of human life. Allah saved Sheikh Hasina time and again from various attacks. It was by choice she was in Germany during the carnage of 15 August 1975. It was certainly the desire of the Almighty Allah to save her so that she can take the country to the new ...
The country lost its glory, fame and image and what not after the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation and greatest Bengali of all time on 15th August, 1975. The great leader made 7.5 crore Bengali free from sub-colonial rule of the Pakistan, at the cost of 24 years...
The Padma Bridge is a golden mine gifted by Sheikh Hasina, the honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh to her people. Golden mine in the sense that gold owning countries enjoy the mines, so also Bangladesh would continue to have that collection gradually increased from 3 crores to 25 crores a day or...
The Padma Bridge is the consequence of Sheikh Hasina’s strong determination who escaped the horrible massacre at road no 32 on August 15, 1975 and got back to her country in 1981 after staying six years in exile in India. The day she returned the people of Bangladesh gave her a grand reception...
If we recall the history of our war of liberation, we should remember the movement of 1952 i.e., the language movement, the election of Jukto Front in 1954, the resistance against the imposition of Martial Law in 1958 by Bangabandhu, the education commission movement of 1962 and the most vital movem...
Bangabandhu Parishad was formed at a time when, following the assassination of Bangabandhu, the political parties in favour of independence was utterly subdued by general Zia. The military establishment oppressed the Awami League, the party through which Bangabandhu carried out the independence move...
The Mujib Nagar Sarker was formed by the elected representatives who won the election of 1970 held following the mass upsurge of 1969 that blessed Sheikh Mujib with the title Bangabandhu. It was not the fact that the MPs fled away just to save them leaving behind the people forever. Rather the fact ...
March 26, 1971 is the glorious day when the independence of Bangladesh was declared by a person who relentlessly fought for the Bengalis for long 23 years against the odds created by the Pak rulers who were at the helm of affairs in Pakistan since its birth. East Bengal a province of Pakistan having...
March 17, 1920 was the birthday of Bangladesh. It is quite obvious now that had there been no Sheikh Mujib, there would have been no Bangladesh. In that sense the birth of Sheikh Mujib is the birth of Bangladesh. The man who fought throughout his life for the emancipation of the Bengalis living in E...
We are now in the month of March. Nearly 50 years back the 1st March of 1971 was a difficult day for Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh then had been anxiously waiting to see if the government of Pakistan would transfer power to Sheikh Mujib who won the 1970 general election being the leader ...
Although it is addressed as the language movement of 1952, yet the movement really started in 1948, just after the declaration of Mr. Jinnah, the governor general of Pakistan that Urdu and Urdu shall be the only state language of Pakistan. As soon as Jinnah declared it Bengali youths including Sheik...
The obstinacy in having caretaker government still remains with BNP as strongly as before although following the constitutional provision, a search committee has been formed and it has urged political parties to send names for Chief Election Commissioner and Commissioners. Many political parties hav...
Twelve human rights organisations have asked the United Nations to ban members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) for engaging with UN peace keeping mission following the US sanctions on some high-ups of RAB who are in service or retired. In a letter to UN Under-Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Lacroix th...
The US decision to impose sanction on top six Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and seven of its current and former officials debarring them from entering US has probably disappointed Bangladesh as it has been imposed at a time when Bangladesh had regular contact with the US administration and no informa...
Those who killed the intellectuals, doctors, engineers, scientists, journalists, artists i.e., the real wealth of the nation in 1971 in cold blood have still been threatening our independence and sovereignty. They in disguise of religion still now talk almost in the same language as they talked in 1...
December is the glorious month in the history of Bangladesh. We earned victory on this month on 16 December, 1971 following 23 years of political struggle and the nine months war at the cost of 3 million martyrs and violence against 4 lakhs Bengali women. Occupation army surrendered after nine month...
What happened in Cumilla is disgraceful for a country like Bangladesh which earned independence with the participation of all communities – the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians and Buddhists. We took part in the bloody nine months struggle on the basis of Bengali nationalism. We did not thi...
Bangladesh maintains strong ties with its neighbors. In the present world maintaining a peaceful relation not only with the neighbors but also with other countries of the world is important. India is Bangladesh’s close door neighbor. Bangladesh has a historical and emotional relation with Indi...
