Their Final Act
Dhaka Courier|December 15, 2017

A nation sans intellectuals is a nation without its voice to express hopes and aspirations of the people. It becomes a lot easier for a foreign power to subdue and tighten its grip on it when people with fertile thoughts are made non-existent The Pakistani military bosses thought it could exterminate the intelligentsia and then rule our beloved country under threats and intimidation. But they made a blunder in interpreting the sentiment of the people here.

Mohammad Abdul Hai
Their Final Act

Their systematic killing of the common people as well as the intellectuals further strengthened the resistance of the freedom-fighters which ultimately led to the surrender of the Pakistani army to the joint forces of the Indian military and MuktiBahini. The Pakistani army paid for their barbarism by the shameful act of surrendering which will surely continue to hunt their conscience many days in future.

People with rich thoughts and ideas are an asset for a nation, for they instill values in the minds of the common people, they make them aware of the national interest, they motivate and shape them up as a collective force to resist wrong-doings of the government. People also get together under the influence of the thoughts propagated by the wise people of the society through TVs and newspapers. They exercise their opinions through ballots to accept or reject a party during the elections. In developing all these public feelings, the intellectuals play a pivotal role. Intellectuals are a life-blood of a nation.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes

My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
