  • A Second Coming: the Specular and the Spectacular 50 Years On1
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 10/2020, pp. 31-58 © Südasien- Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-346-2 A Second Coming: The Specular and the Spectacular 50 Years On1 NUSRAT SABINA CHOWDHURY [email protected] KEYWORDS: BIRTH, DEATH, MIMESIS, MONUMENTALITY, POLITICAL AESTHETICS, BANGLADESH 31 The clocks were ticking away, the countdown had begun. Digital clocks high and bright enough for maximum visibility hung from office buildings, schools, and shops. Dhaka was one of twelve city corporations spread over fifty districts where they had been installed since early 2020. The clocks would go on until 17 March, the birth centennial of jatir pita, "The Father of the Nation", Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. They stopped at the precise mom- ent when all values—day, hour, minute, and second—turned zero. There it was, the moment of origin; of Mujib, for sure, but also of Bangladesh. A birth foretold, as it were. Birth (and death, too, as we shall see) has been a powerful motif in politics in Bangladesh in the second decade of the twenty-first century. Chronologies collided in felicitous ways; the country geared up for unforeseen pomp and circumstance. Bangabandhu (Friend of Bengal), an epithet once popularly mandated and decades later officially dictated, was the centre of the celebrations in a polity inching towards another significant temporal marker—the fiftieth year of its independence. 2020 was (officially) Mujib Borsho, the Mujib Year; 2021 marked the historic half century of Bangladesh that still considered itself young around its bigger, older, venerable neighbours. With international guests invited, shows, concerts, FOCUS and fireworks scheduled, and Mujib’s return to the newly liberated country re-staged in real time, the anniversary was to be a no-holds-barred performance.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".
