None except BNP followers call General Zia as the declarer of independence. It is a foolish attempt to bring Zia at par with Bangabandhu. Their claim, in fact, is travesty of truth and an act to distort the real history based on falsehood. Nobody knows about Zia in 1952, 1954, 1958, 1966 and 1969 mo...
Today is March 17. On this day in 1920 Sheikh Mujib was born at Tungipara of Gopalgonj. The day coincides with the 101st birth anniversary of Bangabandhu being celebrated not only in Bangladesh, but also throughout the world. The great leader was born at a time when the cold war spread all over the ...
The 7th March speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Suhrawardy Udyan in 1971, addressing at least 10 lac people of the then East Pakistan has been acclaimed by many as one of the best speeches of the globe many years after it was delivered. One should not call it a mere speech, rather it wa...
The 7th, the 17th and the 26th of March are the red letter days of independent Bangladesh. It was on 17th March when the leader who dreamt of Bangladesh was born. It was on 7th March he delivered his world-famous historic speech. It was again on 26th he declared the independence of Bangladesh. The m...
Was General Zia behind the killing of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman? This is a very vital question no doubt. In fact the subsequent history proves that he was behind the killing undoubtedly. The steps that he took to run the state governance were sufficient to prove that...
The credibility of BNP as a political party got lost from the very beginning as it was formed by General Zia who is deemed to be the mastermind behind the killing of Bangabandhu. If somebody disagree this contention, then the question arises as to why General Zia who claimed to be a freedom fighter ...
The secular non-communal Bengalis both Hindus and Muslims did realise even then that Pakistan might be short-lived as the people of East Pakistan were being subjugated by the central government. The civil and military bureaucracy that governed Pakistan had a few from East Pakistan who could not...
The glorious victory that the we earned in 1971 following 23 year’s of political struggle and nine months of bloody war seems to be still unsafe. Anti-liberation forces even after fifty-years of Bangladesh’s independence are still very much active. They are propagating obnoxious views ag...
Eighty nine days after the brutal killing of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, four of his ardent followers who led the war of liberation were killed in the Dhaka Central jail on November 3, 1975. The killers did not feel safe to keep those four leaders alive who refus...
Sheikh Hasina has been ruling the country for nearly 12 years without any interruption. She was elected on 29 December 2008 general election and got to power. For 3 consecutive terms she has been elected since then. At a time when the country was under authoritative rule for 21 years from ...
The dastardly brutal killing of the 15th August, 1975 resulting in the death of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with most of his family members, including his 10-year-old son Sheikh Russel shocked the entire globe. The man who sacrificed his life and dedicated it for the...
The assassination of Bangabandhu, the Father of the Bangalee people and the architect of Independent Bangladesh, was really a counter revolution to obstruct the socio-economic reforms declared by Bangabandhu in his second revolution. He could go for a change that he stipulated in 1975 even after his...
If by Father of the Nation we mean Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib, then Begum Fazilatunnessa Mujib is obviously the mother. It is not because that she is Begum Mujib, not because she became the first lady, but because of her personal contribution to the nation and love for the people that made her Bangama...

If we consider the period of 1981-1996 we would find Sheikh Hasina fighting not against the Pak military rule but against the Bangladesh general who captured power only three and half years after the country was made free, killing the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman ...
The brutal killing of four national leaders who lead the War of Liberation and forming of the revolutionary government at Mujibnagar was not only a counter revolution but it was the worst brutality of human history. Since the 4 leaders refused to join Mostaq’s cabinet, they were put behind bar...
Recently what happened at Bhola is an identical repetition of what happpened at Ramu, a few years back. History repeats but not in an identical pattern but crime committed by the fundamentalists do tend to repeat identically in Bangladesh, none has any doubt to understand how and by whom the crime h...
A few senior Awami League leaders who had been co-sharer of power with Sheikh Hasina and now devoid of it have been telling that the recent drive against corruption, terrorism and lawlessness may tarnish the image of the party. People did hear it from a person who himself probably did resort to corr...
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s New Delhi visit following the general election in both the countries has taken place at a time when the two countries have been trying to resolve some pending issues including sharing of water of some common rivers like Teesta. The issue of NRC is also a concern ...
