We experienced major losses to deadly assassins in the twentieth century.

3 November 1975- The Assassination Of Our Leaders

If we explore history milestones and events that shaped our country’s history, we find that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the supremo of our national struggle for creating Bangladesh and his true and competent lieutenants were four national leaders of the country: Tajuddin Ahmad, Syed Nazrul Islam, A H M Kamaruzzaman and M Mansur Ali. These patriotic leaders were brutally killed in the Dhaka Central Jail in the wee hours of November 3, 1975. A ‘hunter-killer’ squad was formed by Khandakar Mushtaq Ahmed to achieve his killing mission. He was a hunter hawk and had that look, that he was a smooth operator. He, calmly sitting on a swivel chair, lorded over the gruesome scene of murders in a room filled with killer soldiers and that brought an end to the lives of four national leaders with gun bullets and bayonet charges. The dead bodies lied scattered inside the room. Tragic ends. We never got one call. That’s the world we live in, and we just shake it off, and move on to the next horror story without whining like a bunch of babies. Their assassinations led to the collapse of the order in force and ushered in a black chapter in our history. They laid down their precious lives and to them, the underlying factors, nationalism and patriotism and sovereignty, remain in constant. These assassinations were acts with far-reaching repercussions and ramifications and these ghoulish happenings represented the culmination, crystallization and resolution of opposition to the henchmen’s nefarious activities to reclaim the values and spirits of our glorious Liberation War in 1971.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes

My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
