    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.

  • 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.

  • Sheikh Mujibur Rahman: Charismatic Leader of Bangladesh
    International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 5, No.4, November 2020 SHEIKH MUJIBUR RAHMAN: CHARISMATIC LEADER OF BANGLADESH Md Read Hossain and Tasnova jerin Ulfat Student, Department of Bangladesh and Liberation War Studies, Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), Bangladesh ABSTRACT Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is one of the most charismatic leaders of the Third World in the twentieth century. We know that Charismatic leaders are the gifts and mercy from God. They are torch bearers of knowledge and revolution. Every nation in one way or the other has been and is endowed with leaders and same is the case of Bangladesh nation which was fortunate enough to have a leader like Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who guided them in the times of freedom struggle, and trusted them into the region which dawned tranquility of mind and unshackled boundaries. It is in fact an old saying that good leaders build good nations which is equally true with the Bangladesh nation for which sheikh Mujibur Rahman sacrificed every breath and blood of his life and mapped a new nation in the world. The paper discusses the main achievements of the leader and particularly the independence of Bangladesh of which Mujib was the pivotal figure. The result revealed that Sheikh Mujib was stimulated people by his charismatic leadership capability and huge political knowledge. From his early life he was demonstrated two key leadership qualities which make him unquestionable leader of the Bangladesh. One key quality was proactive social consciousness and paramount dedication for politics. Sheikh Mujib has so many leadership skills that recognized him as a leader of general people.

  • Good Governance and Political Culture: a Case Study of Bangladesh
    INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE, 24:2 (2016) 245–271 Copyright © IIUM Press ISSN 0128-4878 (Print); ISSN 2289-5639 (Online) Good governance and political culture: A case study of Bangladesh Syed Serajul Islam* Abstract: In a democratic system it is essential to have a competitive, and a tolerant party system, but Bangladesh has experienced an intolerant and a confrontational party system that has created a deadlock and brought uncertainty to the whole country. Since 1990, except 2014, Bangladesh has witnessed four systematic peaceful free elections, one each--in 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008. On January 5, 2014, however, a controversial election took place in which major opposition political parties did not participate except the ruling alliance parties. The two dominant parties—the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the Awami League (AL)—each won two previous free and fair elections, with the BNP winning in1991, and a BNP-led 4-party coalition in 2001, and the AL in 1996, and an AL-led 14 party alliance in 2008. However, from 2014 Bangladesh is heading towards an authoritarian system. All these are happening due to the lack of good governance. This article intends to emphasize that the political culture emanating from the party politics is retarding good governance in Bangladesh. This article argues that the cultural traits developed in the last four decades in various dimensions,, particularly in more recent years, have worked as an “earth-worm” in the fabrics of democracy in Bangladesh preventing ‘good governance’. Keywords: Bangladesh; Democracy; Good governance; Political culture; Totemism. Abstrak: Dalam sesuatu sistem demokrasi adalah penting baginya untuk mempunyai satu sistem yang bersemangat juang dengan mempunyai sistem parti yang bertolenrasi.
