Bangabandhu, Liberation War and Bangladesh - these three words are woven in the same thread. The biography of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the nation, the great hero of Bengali history, the correct history of the Liberation War and the glory story must be conveyed from generation to generation. Bangabandhu's ideology has a source of eternal inspiration. A few university teachers have written about the idea that the young generation should understand that history properly and guide themselves in the path of Bangabandhu's ideology, paying homage to the Father of the Nation on the National Mourning Day. It was written by Syed Tawsif Monawar.
Bangabandhu of the eternal Bengali in the journey of tomorrow
On such a day 642 years ago, not only Bangladesh, but the worst-brutal-barbaric incident in the unopened history of the earth, which shocked the whole world, was the brutal assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib, the father of this nation and the great poet of politics. This massacre has made not only the Bengalis but the entire happy, benevolent and benevolent people of the world weep.
The social history of Bengal is about three thousand years old. This history not only depicts the rule of foreign rulers, but also tragically mentions their exploitation process and the brutality of deprivation and inequality among the people of this region. Aryan, Dravidian, Radha, Maurya, Turkish, Pathan, Mughal, English, Pakistan ruled East Bengal has all turned into a backward, backward and backward society. The man we know as the independent Nawab of Bengal was not a Bengali, he was a Turkish. His mother tongue and official language was Persian. In this analysis of three thousand years, it is very clear that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the true friend of the heart of respect and love of the father of the nation Bengali, is the first independent statesman of Bengal. That is why Father of the Nation Bangabandhu is well-established not only in the history of Bengal but also in the history of India and the world.
In the sixteenth or seventeenth century, the region was very attractive to many foreign tourists for its variety of products. It was a prosperous land in the East for a variety of cotton textiles, including muslin, gold, silver, ornaments, spices, blue, etc. But we have to understand why this country is still a developing country. If the inequality picture of the past is not analyzed, then it is not clear why people in this region have become so greedy for freedom. Against the heinous conspiracy to oppress the Bengali nation by creating severe socio-economic inequalities, the people of this country were inspired by Bengali nationalism to establish a democratic, non-communal exploitation-free society under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Snatched.
But the unfortunate but true fact is that immediately after independence, Bangabandhu's government was taking effective steps to rebuild a country that had become almost ruined and achieved great success. That is why today, again and again, Bangabandhu's modern and progressive philosophy of education, society, politics-state, etc., must be clearly presented to the new generation, so that the nation never loses its way by confusion and corrupt tactics.
Bangabandhu is the great legendary leader of the Bengali nation and the best child of the Bengali nation for thousands of years. Today, I am again praying to the court of the Creator to pay deep respect to his memory and to honor him in the highest seat of heaven.
The August 15 killings were part of a deeper conspiracy
Associate Professor, Department of History, Jahangirnagar University
সংগ্রামThe struggle for the independence of Bengalis went through many ups and downs in 1971. The war of liberation has brought us much awaited independence, a separate territory. The main architect of this ultimate independence was Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. In independent Bangladesh from 1972 to 1975, he gave his wise leadership for only three years. He and his family were brutally murdered on August 15, 1975. Apparently, this was a barbaric attack by a group of army members, but it was part of a deeper conspiracy.
Through a long life of struggle, Sheikh Mujib became a symbol of Bengali liberation struggle and nationalism. Pakistan and its allies did not accept the sovereign existence of Bangladesh in any way. Their utmost effort was to stop this independent path of Bangladesh. On August 15, they became active, with the superpower, the United States.
After 1975, state power passed to the Urdipara rulers for fifteen years. People's democratic rights are blocked. Attempts have been made to change Bangladesh in a different mold for a decade and a half. The war of liberation for independence, Bangabandhu, the father of the Bengali nation, began to be suppressed unknowingly, and the horrific barbarism of Razakar al-Badr, an ally of the Pakistani forces, was covered up. The history of the liberation war began to be distorted so that the next generation would not know the essence of this freedom, as if they did not understand the value of this liberation. The question of why the father of the nation died on August 15 in the hands of his children has not come up for a long time. Liberation struggle, history of war, why is it so necessary to know Bangabandhu? Because it will reveal your identity. The true identity of the Bengali nation is rooted in a thousand years of history. And it was revealed in full form during the British period and later during the Pakistan period. And Bangladesh gained a new country through the war of liberation, the great hero of which was Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Bangladesh and Bangabandhu are synonymous. If he had not been born, Bangladesh would not exist. So this past, this motherland, the people of this land will not be known without knowing this truth. The teaching of true history will make our new generation truly patriotic and selfless. Bangabandhu always cherished the dream of creating such a nation. A humble tribute to the Father of the Nation on this day of mourning.

Bangabandhu was supposed to attend the convocation ceremony of Dhaka University on 15 August 1975. The whole university was waiting for his arrival. Almost every wall of the university was decorated with the slogan "One Leader, One Country, Bangabandhu's Bangladesh". Tensions spread from TSC to Teknaf, from Palashi to Tetulia - when will the poet come? That night no one even noticed the dawn of waiting in the life of the Bengali nation will never come again!
No one at the university knows what dawn was being created by the bullets of the conspirators at No. 32 at night. However, the dawn that came that day with the green chest of Dhaka University, no one wanted that dawn!
On the night of August 14, 1975, the campus of Dhaka University was rejoicing. The university area was littered with graffiti, banners, festoons and welcome arches. The main stage is decorated inside the TSC auditorium. 16 microphones were set on the stage. The 12 feet high portrait of Bangabandhu's smiling face was made by 12 o'clock at night. This portrait was made in the middle of the field inside the TSC. The self-acquired independence of TSC's road island was not that day. An 18-foot-high welcome decoration with the design of the national flower shuffler was made here. Two murals of Bangabandhu were painted on both sides of the main staircase of Kala Bhaban. The preparation of the university decoration started four or five days ago.
Under the leadership of Sheikh Kamal, the invitation letter with the logo of Dhaka University has already reached everyone. Where it was written, 'Father of the Nation, Hon'ble President and Hon'ble Chancellor of Dhaka University, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on the occasion of his arrival at Dhaka University on 15th August 1975, at 11:00 am at the Student-Teacher Center, the Vice-Chancellor and the members of the Syndicate cordially invite you.' Good luck at the Daksu Museum. Sumatibala, the mother of Gopal Das, a collector and photographer at the Daksu Museum, had a dream of 'taking a look at Sheikh Saber'. Gopalda received the invitation letter as soon as she told Sheikh Kamal about her mother.
That night Sumatibala also took out a beautiful printed sari to go later in the morning. Sumatibala cried when she heard the news on her son's face in the morning. He gave the card to Daksu Museum to show to everyone. Many people got the news that Bangabandhu was not there while tuning the radio that morning. As soon as the morning light dawned, the girls came out of Rokeya Hall wearing red sari on the white ground and wearing belly flowers in their huts. But they still did not know what had happened in the dark of night.
Those who have the good fortune to hear the story of the night of August 15, 1975, DU Vice-Chancellor Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique Sir, artist Anwar Hossain, Gopal Das, former DU student my father. Touhiduzzaman: I am grateful to everyone. No matter how much the conspirators cover history, the river of truth flows through everyone's mouths from time to time. But what happens when there are no magicians in our story? Fifty or one hundred years from today, the youth of Bangladesh will hear this story of the father of the nation to whom?
That is why we are looking at the magicians of true stories. The time has come again in the heart of Bangladesh to write golden history in black letters.
Let my plea reach all the true story-tellers in this country.
The new generation must take the responsibility of fulfilling the dream of the father of the national
Bangabandhu - If we dissect this word, then what stands out is the friend of Bengal or Bangladesh, the contribution of which is spread all over the roads of Bengal. Without him, this country called Bangladesh would not have been born.
If I talk about Bangabandhu in my life, the idol that floats in front of me is that of a thunderbolt man. Who has won the hearts of millions with his sharp voice and strong personality. He appeared at the time of the catastrophe in the fortunes of the Bengalis.
I grew up in a family where reading was a regular part of my life. As a result, I have loved reading books since childhood. A large part of the books I read were about Bangabandhu and the liberation war. I was very interested to know Bangabandhu from my childhood. I read stories to feel the history and liberation struggle. My first attraction was the book 'Mujib's Blood Red' written by Akhtar Mukul. I still remember my father buying the book and telling me that it would not be a pity if you did not do something great in life, but you need to know the history of this country, otherwise it would be your greatest shame as a human being. We need to know the history of the assassination of Bangabandhu in a disgusting manner, without which this country would not exist.
In the cover picture of the book, the strong man was hugging his mother and smiling. The big question in my little mind was why anyone could kill this great hero of our history so ruthlessly. I couldn't find any answers.
Bangabandhu is of the whole country. All people. Not of any party or group. But with this we see division nowadays. Should it be there at all? Does the present generation know the correct history? The lack of a Bangabandhu has left our country behind for centuries. If we look at the list of the best politicians in the world and the best speeches given by them, Bangabandhu and his speech on March 7 is one of them. The history of this small country has had a great leader, whom it is by no means appropriate to divide into any party or group.
I do not know whether the present generation is interested in knowing history in that way. If these histories are properly recorded in the textbooks of each class, many will know, but most will know it to increase the number of their examination books. But it will not work. Interest must be increased, this history must be held with heart.
Bangabandhu is the hero of our state. It is not possible to atone for the rare example of brutality and ingratitude that has been set by killing him and his family. But, if we know the right history and love the country, it will be possible to build the golden Bangladesh of Bangabandhu's dream. The new generation must take the responsibility of fulfilling the dream of the father of the nation.
