অসমাপ্ত আত্মজীবনী by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

throughout his life, the cause of his people was dearest to his heart. He was not intimidated even by the hangman's noose. But he would never compromise on his principles. As he got involved in various movements to wrest the rights of his people from those who had snatched them away from them, he had to endure solitary confinement again and again. My Father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has to spend the most precious parts of his life in prison. He was assassinated in Dhaka in August 1975 during a military coup d’etat.

He became the new nation’s prime minister in 1972 and held the position of the President of Bangladesh from January 1975. One of the founders of the Awami League in1949, he led his party to a dramatic victory in the election of 1970, a key event in the emergence of Bangladesh.

About the Author Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born in 1920 and studied for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Calcutta University and a law degree at Dhaka University. This extraordinary document is not only a portrait of a nation in the making it is written by the man who changed the course of history and led his people to freedom. That brutal action unleashed the powerful movement that culminated in the birth of the new nation of Bangladesh in 1971. On 21 February 1952 the police opened fire on a peaceful student procession killing many. Sheikh Mujib describes vividly how-despite being in prison-he was in the forefront of organizing the protests that followed the declaration of Urdu as the state language of Pakistan. What the narrative brings out with immediacy and passion is his intellectual and political journey from a youthful activist to the leader of a struggle for national liberation. These are Sheikh Mujib’s own words-the language has only been changed for absolute clarity when required. The last notebook ends with the events accompanying the struggle for democratic rights in 1955. They cover the Bengali language movement, the first stirrings of the movement for Bangladesh independence andself-rule, and powerfully convey the great uncertainties as well as the great hopes that dominated the time. Written during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s sojourns in jail as a state prisoner between 19,they begin with his recollections of his days as a student activist in the run-up to the movement for Pakistan in the early 1940s. His daughter, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, had the notebooks their pages by then brittle and discoloured- carefully transcribed and later translated from Bengali into English. When Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s diaries came to light in 2004, it was an indisputably historic event.
