Parallel to this is the introduction of the Bangladesh War of Liberation, the invasion of Bosnia-Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan-India, Iraq, the brutal attacks on Kuwait-Tunisia-Yemen-Syria-Turkey-Myanmar-Gulshan, the New Zealand mosque and the Sri Lankan attacks, and Sri Lanka.

Contextually, the team has been organising the ‘Tringsho Shatabdi’ with regular observance of ‘Hiroshima Day’ for 3 years in order to create awareness against war and nuclear weapons.
