This is the time for us, the Bangalees, to show our love, respect and gratitude to the Father of the Nation. Therefore, the entire Bangalee nation home and abroad is celebrating this year as Mujib Shoto Borsho 2020 with due respect and in a lively manner. The legacy of Bangabandhu and Bangladesh are intertwined. He cherished the dream of independent Bangladesh and through his charismatic and visionary leadership crafted the independence of Bangladesh. With his prudent vision, he realized the vast potentials of the resources of the land and started to reconstruct the war ravaged country. He wanted to transform this land into a stable and affluent country and struggled throughout his life in this endeavor. Bangabandhu is not with us but his ideals are with us and will always remain as inspiration in all our endeavor of national progress. Now it is our responsibility to materialize his dream of Sonar Bangla. I am delighted that NDC is going to publish a Special Journal of NDC on the occasion of the 100th birth year of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On the eve of this noble initiative I would like to humbly pay my deepest tribute to the Father of the Nation. As part of expressing our gratitude, this journal is dedicated to Bangabandhu for his visionary steps and contribution to build up a skilled and educated armed forces for the new born independent country, his Sonar Bangla. I am confident that the journal will fulfill the objectives of the Mujib Year highlighting the significance of the independence of Bangladesh, the role of Bangbandhu and Bangladesh Armed Forces in the liberation war of Bangladesh. It can also help develop patriotism among the future leaders. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the proficient authors for their scholarly articles. I hope the articles of this journal will open a new horizon of knowledge about Bangabandhu’s courage, his self- sacrifice and above all his patriotic zeal. I urge to our young generation to keep up the true spirit of independence and ideals of Bangabandhu and emerge as strategic leaders and the builders of Bangabandhu’s Sonar Bangla. I express my deep satisfaction for the teamwork of the Editorial Board who have really made good efforts to publish this important journal. I would like to thank every person related to this publication. I wish every success of the Special journal of NDC.

Muhammad Ali Talukder, ndc, afwc, psc Brigadier General Directing Staff (Army) V ABSTRACT BANGABANDHU: A VISIONARY LEADER AND FOUNDER OF IMPENDING TIME BEFITTING BANGLADESH ARMED FORCES Admiral Nizamuddin Ahmed, NBP, OSP, BCGM, ndc, psc, (retd) Former Chief of Naval Staff, Bangladesh Navy Bangladesh and Bangabandhu are inseparable from each other. It is impossible to imagine the country without the historical presence of our Father of the Nation in all aspects of our national life. The Armed forces of Bangladesh has been the cornerstone of Bangladesh’s national defence against external and internal threats. Like other institutions of the country, the Armed Forces of the country was established under the leadership and guidance of our great leader, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. However the contributions of Bangabandhu in establishing Bangladesh Armed Forces are seldom discussed and a little research has been done on this subject so far. Nevertheless, Bangabandhu played the central role in rebuilding the military capabilities of a newly independent country like Bangladesh during 1971-75 period. The objective of the paper is to explore the steps taken by Bangabandhu in making Bangladesh’s Armed Forces a strong and capable one. The paper is divided into six sections. In the latter section, the initiatives of the current Government in realizing the visions of Bangabandhu in creating a self-sufficient and well-equipped force have been discussed in depth. Overall, the paper takes a qualitative approach to articulate the aims of the author. Key Words: Bangabandhu, Visionary Leader, Bangladesh Armed Forces. BANGABANDHU’S DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY: RECONSTRUCTION AND GROWTH WITH EQUITY Dr. Syed Anwar Husain Bangabandhu Chair Professor Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) The outstanding features of Bangabandhu’s development philosophy were growth with equity and inclusive development. As it was, the central theme of such a development was the overall development of the people of Bangladesh. VI Based specifically on the four speeches of Bangabandhu, this peoplecentric development philosophy is thrashed out in two distinct phases: pre-1975 and post-January 1975 BKSAL; although the latter phase was ideational, and translating of which into reality was stopped by his (along with others of his family and near ones) gruesome assassination. The earlier phase, as the circumstantial imperatives demanded, was mostly one of reconstruction; while the latter phase was the initiation of a development strategy as perceived by Bangabandhu. Although cast in a negative perspective in some quarters, the BKSAL system had the potentiality to transform the society and state as per the ethos of a country born through a bloody civil war. Moreover, as was apparent, in inclusive development, Bangabandhu sought peace. Key Words: Bangabandhu, Development Philosophy, Reconstruction and Growth. BANGABANDHU BUILT BANGLAESH’S RELATIONS WITH THE MUSLIM WORLD A K M Atiqur Rahman, ndc Secretary and Ambassador (retd) Though, Pakistan, by presenting and propagating fabricated information about Bangladesh during our liberation struggle and even after independence, tried to convince the Muslim countries not to support Bangladesh, but that did not work for long. The larger portion of the Muslim world extended their support to Bangladesh except some of Pakistan’s Arab friends. Returning to his country on 10 January 1972 from Pakistan jail, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman shouldered the task of rebuilding the war-ravaged Bangladesh as well as establishment of its relations with the world communities including Islamic countries based on the principle of his foreign policy ‘friendship with all, malice towards none’. He took special initiatives to establish relations with the Muslim world.

  • The BDR Mutiny
    PerspectivesFocus The BDR Mutiny: Mystery Remains but Democracy Emerges Stronger Anand Kumar* The mutiny in para-military force, Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) took place only two months after the restoration of democracy in Bangladesh. This mutiny nearly upstaged the newly installed Shaikh Hasina government. In the aftermath of mutiny both the army and the civilian governments launched investigations to find the causes and motives behind the mutiny, however, what provoked mutiny still remains a mystery. This paper discusses the mutiny in the Bangladesh Rifles and argues that whatever may have been the reasons behind the mutiny it has only made democracy in Bangladesh emerge stronger. The mutiny also provides a lesson to the civilian government that it should seriously handle the phenomenon of Islamic extremism in the country if it wants to keep Bangladesh a democratic country. Introduction The democratically elected Shaikh Hasina government in Bangladesh faced its most serious threat to survival within two months of its coming to power because of mutiny in the para-military force, Bangladesh Rifles (BDR). In the past, Bangladesh army has been involved in coup and counter-coup, resulting in prolonged periods of military rule. Though BDR has not been immune from mutiny, it was for the first time that a mutiny in this force raised the specter of revival of army rule. The mutiny was controlled by the prudent handling of the situation by the Shaikh Hasina government. In the aftermath of mutiny both the army and the civilian governments launched investigations to find the causes and motives behind the mutiny, however, what provoked mutiny still remains a mystery.

  • 1. Introduction
    Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.
