Hardcover. Condition: New. The Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, also known as the Muktijudhdho, was a result of the total alienation of the Bangalis of East Pakistan from the non-Bangalis of the West, setting off a violent political upheaval in the eastern unit of the country, ultimately leading to the formation of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. This riveting first-hand account of the Liberation War has been written by a former journalist of The Statesman. In fact, the author, then a mere cub reporter, had predicted the coming of the war as early as in January 1971 by writing an article in the Sunday Statesman titled 'When Brother meets Brother'. When the conflict started, he was one of the very few Indian journalists who covered the epochal event from the very beginning until the final surrender by the Pakistan military in Khulna on 17 December. The highlight of this book is how Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, impelled by the ruling military junta's highly exploitative and discriminatory policies pursued towards the Bangali population, evolved the Bangali mindset for waging a Muktijudhdho for their independence with Indian help. Having gone deep inside East Pakistan to cover the liberation war and being on good terms with sector commanders of the Mukti Bahini and senior Awami League leaders, the author provides many hitherto unknown facts which add a different dimension to this book.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. The book critically examines several successive blunders committed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after becoming the chief helmsman of Bangladesh. Disregarding warnings of his well wishers, he appointed pro-Pakistani quislings to key positions in his government and the military, who were later utilised by Bhutto and the Pakistani establishment to exact revenge for the dismemberment of their country and the humiliating surrender in Dhaka. Mujib also sidelined figures like Tajuddin Ahmed and other tested comrades who had carried out his instruction to steer the liberation war through difficult days. Despite his secular ideals, he founded an Islamic foundation, which was hijacked by Islamists to promote fundamentalist tenets. But his most grievous blunder was to launch one party rule under BAKSAL and in curbing free press, despite Tajuddin's dire warning that this would lead to conspiratorial politics and endanger him. His desperation to secure Islamabad's recognition to counter India's growing influence in Bangladesh, ultimately led to his downfall. About the Author: Manash Ghosh graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi and joined The Statesman in 1966 as a trainee journalist.
