I show the ways in which the visual representation of this 'motherland' as fertile countryside, and its idealization primarily through rural landscapes has enabled a crystallization of essentialist gender roles for women. This article is particularly interested in how these images had to be reconciled with the subjectivities of women raped during the Bangladesh Liberation War (Muktijuddho) and the role of the aestheticizing sensibilities of Bangladesh's middle class in that process.

    An Appraisal of Sheikh Mujib-Ur-Rehman's Leadership

    Context of Bengali Separatist Movement: An Appraisal of Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rehman’s Leadership * Rizwan Ullah Kokab Muhammad Arif Khan** Abstract Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rehman is generally credited with being a leader who founded the state of Bangladesh that came into existence in the result of a separatist movement. This paper endeavours to review his leadership status in the light of context. By answering the question if he was a secessionist it has been clarified whether he steered separatist Bengali movement to the success or other actors like circumstances, minor leaders in the party and mishandling of the competitors raised him to the position for which he neither planned nor worked. Exploring the flow of events regarding separatism in East Pakistan spread over the span of more than twenty-four years the role of Sheikh Mujib as the leader of secessionist movement has been observed. This paper tries to examine the impacts of his qualities of oratory and organisation on the separatism in East Pakistan. It looks as if he gave the popularity and programme to the Bengali Movement or it was vice versa. The discussion moves to the outcome thatas principal leader of the Movement he was not in charge for its mission-visualisation, formulation of course of action and ultimately success of the goal. 52 Pakistan Vision Vol. 17 No. 2 Leadership is defined as the “relation between an individual and a group built around some common interest and behaviouring in a manner directed by him.”1 Philip Selznick states that Leadership “is a kind of work done to meet the needs of a social situation.”2 Herbert G.

    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.

    Why Do I Speak Bangla?

    dhakat ribune.co m http://www.dhakatribune.com/op-ed/2014/feb/19/why-do-i-speak-bangla Why do I speak Bangla? Behnaz Ahmed I have a love-hate relationship with dinner parties. As a Bengali twentysomething who grew up in the United States, you could say these gatherings def ined a certain part of my cultural upbringing. In suburban American-Bengali communities, these af f airs usually involve women, “aunties” as I call them, crowding around a kitchen, assisting the host serve culinary marvels straight f rom Siddika Kabir’s cookbook. Their husbands sit in the drawing room and attempt to solve the world’s political problems over a game of cards. Late into the evening, there is tea, and if we’re lucky, the culturally enlightened among us will f ind a harmonium somewhere and grace us with their talents. What’s there not to like? So we’ve talked about the love, let’s talk about some of the hate. While I was growing up, it was without f ail that at these gatherings, I was asked in some way or f orm: “Your Bangla’s pretty good, how did you learn to speak so well?” I never really understood why my linguistic capabilities earned me so much Bengali party street cred.

    3G-Bengalis-In-Uk-Strand-01.Pdf

    Introduction to 1st strand Roots and memory - the history of Bangladesh and the 1971 war of independence Dialogue between first and third generation on the history of Bangladesh and the 1971 war of independence. We begin the oral history with people’s memories of East Pakistan and events leading to the liberation war. We see here the importance of language as both a unifying and divisive factor. Bengali became a rallying point for those in East Pakistan who wanted a fairer political and social deal within Pakistan generally. Urdu became, in contrast, a source of division with the attempt to establish it as the national language very soon after the creation of Pakistan. Although the majority of Bengalis in East Pakistan were Muslims, similar attempts to forge national unity through the politicisation of Islam failed to unite the two wings divided by over a thousand miles of Indian territory. As the interviews make clear, the liberation war was not just fought in the Bengal delta. By 1971 a small but grow- ing Bengali community had been established in the UK and in many places, such as London, Luton, Birmingham and Manchester, they worked with or lived near Pakistanis, who had migrated from the Punjab and Kashmir. It is interesting to note that Bengalis were active in political activity before 1971 as they supported Awami League’s Six Point programme (1966), which demanded greater autonomy for East Pakistan and campaigned for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s release after he was arrested in 1968 (the Agartala conspiracy case). During the war of Bangladesh in 1971, the community played an important role in highlighting the atrocities tak- ing place in Bangladesh, lobbying British government and the international community and raising funds for refugees and Bengali freedom fighters.

    MAOISMIN BANGLADESH The Case of the East Bengal Sarbohara Party Md. NurulAmin In 1962 the international communist movement was divided into two separate camps on the question of the adoption of Marx- ism. This division split the Communist Party of East Pakistan (Ban- gladesh) into pro-Moscow and pro-Peking factions in 1966. The pro- Moscow faction, led by Moni Singh, argued that socialism would be estab- lished through a peaceful parliamentary process, while the pro-Peking wing, led by Mohammed Toaha and Sukhendu Dastidar, advocated the line of revolutionary class struggle that came to be known as Maoist. 1 The pro-Peking Communist Party was divided into more than a dozen factions during and after the 1971 liberation war.2 In 1967 another group of young Communists under the leadership of Siraj Sikder founded the Mao Thought Research Centre in Dhaka. This Md. Nurul Amin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Dhaka University, Bangladesh. He would like to express his gratitude to M. Mohabbat Khan, Emajuddin Ahmad, Syed Anowar Hossain, and Golam Kabir for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of the article. He is also indebted to an anonymous referee of the Asian Survey for some useful suggestions. ? 1986 by The Regents of the University of California 1. Moni Singh is the descendant of a Hindu landlord family from Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. Quite early in life he left the family property and joined the Communist Party of India (CPI). Until the time of the split in 1966, the underground East Pakistan Communist Party (EPCP) was led by him.
