  • Students, Space, and the State in East Pakistan/Bangladesh 1952-1990
    1 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 A dissertation presented by Samantha M. R. Christiansen to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts September, 2012 2 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 by Samantha M. R. Christiansen ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate School of Northeastern University September, 2012 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of East Pakistan/Bangladesh’s student movements in the postcolonial period. The principal argument is that the major student mobilizations of Dhaka University are evidence of an active student engagement with shared symbols and rituals across time and that the campus space itself has served as the linchpin of this movement culture. The category of “student” developed into a distinct political class that was deeply tied to a concept of local place in the campus; however, the idea of “student” as a collective identity also provided a means of ideological engagement with a globally imagined community of “students.” Thus, this manuscript examines the case study of student mobilizations at Dhaka University in various geographic scales, demonstrating the levels of local, national and global as complementary and interdependent components of social movement culture. The project contributes to understandings of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s political and social history in the united and divided period, as well as provides a platform for analyzing the historical relationship between social movements and geography that is informative to a wide range of disciplines.

  • Liberation War of Bangladesh
    Bangladesh Liberation War, 1971 By: Alburuj Razzaq Rahman 9th Grade, Metro High School, Columbus, Ohio The Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 was for independence from Pakistan. India and Pakistan got independence from the British rule in 1947. Pakistan was formed for the Muslims and India had a majority of Hindus. Pakistan had two parts, East and West, which were separated by about 1,000 miles. East Pakistan was mainly the eastern part of the province of Bengal. The capital of Pakistan was Karachi in West Pakistan and was moved to Islamabad in 1958. However, due to discrimination in economy and ruling powers against them, the East Pakistanis vigorously protested and declared independence on March 26, 1971 under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. But during the year prior to that, to suppress the unrest in East Pakistan, the Pakistani government sent troops to East Pakistan and unleashed a massacre. And thus, the war for liberation commenced. The Reasons for war Both East and West Pakistan remained united because of their religion, Islam. West Pakistan had 97% Muslims and East Pakistanis had 85% Muslims. However, there were several significant reasons that caused the East Pakistani people to fight for their independence. West Pakistan had four provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and the North-West Frontier. The fifth province was East Pakistan. Having control over the provinces, the West used up more resources than the East. Between 1948 and 1960, East Pakistan made 70% of all of Pakistan's exports, while it only received 25% of imported money. In 1948, East Pakistan had 11 fabric mills while the West had nine.

    2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GENOCIDE, TRUTH AND JUSTICE July 30 to July 31, 2009 Organized by LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM, BANGLADESH Proceedings Prepared by Tarannum Rahman Tiasha Rakibul Islam Sium Liberation War Museum 5, Segun Bagicha, Dhaka – 1000, Bangladesh Tel : 9559091, Fax : 9559092 e-mail : [email protected], [email protected] Website : www.liberationwarmuseum.org 1 PURL: https://www.legal-tools.org/doc/111b6e/ The First International Conference on Genocide, Truth and Justice was organized by the Liberation War Museum in March, 2008. Organized as a sequel to the first conference, the Second International Conference on Genocide, Truth and Justice was held on the 30th and 31st of July, 2009 at the CIRDAP Auditorium, Dhaka. This conference, held in the wake of a changed political scenario and when voices are being raised demanding the Trials of the War Criminals of 1971, has acquired greater importance and significance now because the demand for the Trials has been hugely endorsed by the younger generation. The first conference dealt with genocide as a crime from different perspectives, whereas the second conference emphasized on the legal aspects and procedures of the War Trials with a view to assist the present elected government, which is committed to and has already taken initiatives to start the process of the Trials. During the two-day conference, important aspects and new insights to the Trials were voiced by the various legal experts, both from home and abroad. The foreign legal experts shared their invaluable views about trial processes based on their experiences of working in previous international tribunals.

  • Bangladesh Genocide and Justice with Special Focus on the Rohingya Persecution
    Call for Abstract Submission 6th International Conference on Bangladesh Genocide and Justice With Special Focus on the Rohingya Persecution 14-16 November 2019, Dhaka, Bangladesh Organized by Liberation War Museum Dhaka, Bangladesh Prologue Liberation War Museum (LWM) is going to organize the 6th International Conference on Bangladesh Genocide and Justice on 14-16 November 2019. In this regard, LWM invites scholarly articles from national and international academics, researchers, jurists, rights activists, artists and persons associated with the cause of justice for international crimes. During the conference, there will be a parallel event titled as ‘poster presentation’, exclusively for young students and early career researchers to present their ideas and begin critical discussion on the issues related to genocide and justice. The conference will be held at a time when Bangladesh along with the global community is preparing to observe next year the 50th Anniversary of 1971 Bangladesh Genocide. In this background, the aim of this conference is two-fold: firstly, to provide empirical as well as theoretical insight into the existing challenges to international justice institutions in dealing with the crime of genocide and other international crimes; and secondly, to propose different avenues for strengthening transitional justice mechanism (specially, international criminal justice system and reparatory justice policy) in the post-conflict scenario. Though the conference theme is broadly related to Bangladesh Genocide, the conference will give special focus, among others, on the issue of genocide against the Rohingyas in the North Rakhine State of Myanmar - the fact of which now demands for greater international action to ensure justice and dignified return of the Rohingya victims to their homeland.

  • Longing, Belonging and Other Stories: Tales of Bengali Identity and Collective Memory
    LONGING, BELONGING AND OTHER STORIES: TALES OF BENGALI IDENTITY AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Proma Huq, B.S. Washington, DC August 14th, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Proma Huq All Rights Reserved ii LONGING, BELONGING AND OTHER STORIES: TALES OF BENGALI IDENTITY AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY Proma Huq, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Diana M. Owen, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Bangladesh is one of the few nations where living citizens can recall being subjects of three different countries, all within one lifetime. Additionally, it is the only nation founded in pursuit of linguistic recognition. This non-traditional study explores the manner in which collective memory is used in nation building, the formation of Bengali identity and the evolution of this identity in the face of political upheaval, war, and for some, eventual migration. By examining the identity politics and cultural implications of establishing collective memory, this project analyzes the pivotal role played by the concept of “imagined communities” (Anderson, 1983) – the idea that nations are socially constructed by constituents who perceive themselves as a group. Using a triangulation of existing literature, a content analysis of era-specific political rhetoric and collected oral histories, this study further examines the arbitrary lines drawn across the former Indian subcontinent, establishing such imagined communities and effectively rendering millions as prisoners of geography. The timeline for this longitudinal study includes: the end of the British Raj, the Partition of 1947, the Bengali Language Movement, and the Bangladeshi Liberation War of 1971, moving onwards into the twenty-first century.

  • Love in the Time Of
    Love in the Time of War Subhas Chandra Bose’s Journeys to Nazi Germany (1941) and towards the Soviet Union (1945) The political career of Subhas Chandra Bose has been the subject of much research and debate, drawn from material on his public life. This article weaves together the public and the private at critical junctures of Bose’s career to offer alternative explanatory factors for two famous journeys made by Bose. The first journey was Bose’s escape from India to Nazi Germany in 1941 and the second journey was his flight from south-east Asia in 1945, a journey that was to prove his last. Looking at these ‘public’ actions in the light of ‘private’ reality, this article argues that while public, political factors did motivate Bose to undertake these journeys, he was also moved by powerful personal reasons. SARMILA BOSE I In a private letter of January 4, 1939, however, Bose seemed A Political Crisis to be expressing an entirely different perspective. He wrote, “In a way, it will be good not to be president again. I shall then be he year was 1939, Subhas Chandra Bose was standing for more free and have more time to myself.” The letter was written re-election as the president of the Indian National Con- to Emilie Schenkl in Vienna.

  • Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
    Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali: ; 17 শখ মুিজবুর রহমান Bangabandhu March 1920 – 15 August 1975), shortened as Sheikh Mujib or just Mujib, was a Bangladeshi politician and statesman. He is called the ববু "Father of the Nation" in Bangladesh. He served as the first Sheikh Mujibur Rahman President of Bangladesh and later as the Prime Minister of শখ মুিজবুর রহমান Bangladesh from 17 April 1971 until his assassination on 15 August 1975.[1] He is considered to be the driving force behind the independence of Bangladesh. He is popularly dubbed with the title of "Bangabandhu" (Bôngobondhu "Friend of Bengal") by the people of Bangladesh. He became a leading figure in and eventually the leader of the Awami League, founded in 1949 as an East Pakistan–based political party in Pakistan. Mujib is credited as an important figure in efforts to gain political autonomy for East Pakistan and later as the central figure behind the Bangladesh Liberation Movement and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. Thus, he is regarded "Jatir Janak" or "Jatir Pita" (Jatir Jônok or Jatir Pita, both meaning "Father of the Nation") of Bangladesh. His daughter Sheikh Hasina is the current leader of the Awami League and also the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. An initial advocate of democracy and socialism, Mujib rose to the ranks of the Awami League and East Pakistani politics as a charismatic and forceful orator. He became popular for his opposition to the ethnic and institutional discrimination of Bengalis 1st President of Bangladesh in Pakistan, who comprised the majority of the state's population.

Al-Amin* Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Barishal, Barishal-8254, Bangladesh Abstract The liberation war and the genocide of Bangladesh in 1971 are becoming the core research interest among genocide researchers, but the genocide in Charkowa has hardly been explored. As because of this, the current paper intended to explore the true history of the Charkowa genocide, where it found that on 20 August 1971 the Pakistani Army attacked the innocent people of Charkowa village and killed 16 people at the bank of Maragangi canal along with arson and looting of their homes and shops. The strategy was very obvious that it was a politicide type of genocide, where they wanted to destroy the support base of Mukti Bahini and the freedom fighters as well.

  • LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By
    LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By Rayeed Mohammad Yusuff 11108022 Seminar II ARC 512 Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University Fall 2015 LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM | 2 ABSTRACT The year of 1971 is the most significant year in the lives of the Bangladeshis. Our liberation war of 1971 is an event which marks the existence of Bangladesh. It was a war fought by the people and these valiant men and women helped us gain this country. However, in the process of gaining independence, several lives were lost, many girls and women raped and numerous people had to be displaced. The heinous Pakistanis did not hesitate once to kill the innocent people of Bangladesh. It has been almost 44 years since this war was fought and unfortunately, many people are slowly forgetting the importance of this war and the real story behind it. I believe that the people who had been present during the war and have actively participated in it are the ones who can give us the most accurate information about our Liberation War. During this long span of time, we are slowly losing most of them and we urgently need to preserve their experiences and information for the future generation. Chittagong, being a historic site during the Liberation War of 1971, does not have a Liberation War Museum of a large magnitude compared to Dhaka. Chittagong not only contributed during the Liberation War but also played a major role before it. Hence, an attempt was made to design a Liberation War Museum in Batali Hill, Chittagong.
