On 26th March, 2010, Bangladesh will celebrate its thirty-ninth anniversary under the rule of the surviving daughter of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who, almost forty years ago, inspired me to join the non-cooperation movement. As a result, I quit my job with the Pakistan Press Internaitonal (PPI). The director of the PPI was Nizamuddin Ahamed who was one of the victims of Al-Badar. After quiting my job I escaped by way of the East Pakistan border through Chandina of Comilla District and entered India's territory known as Sona Mura of Tripura in August of 1971. It has been nearly thirty years ago since I left my country and settled in United States of America. Still the memories of 1971 are as fresh as if they were yesterday's incidents. It is not just the 1971 incidents that I recall, but the entire twenty-five years of Pakistan's history are still quite fresh and vivid in my mind. In 1952, when the Pakistani administration did not hesitate to fire on innocent Bengalis, I was a second grade student; and it was only two years later when the United Front defeated the Muslim League. When Ayub Khan imposed martial law with all its might and pervasiveness in 1958, I was, by then, a middle school student (eighth grade). We were the first of students to receive the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC), a new system of Ayub government. In 1963, when Ayub Khan appointed Governor of East Pakistan-Monem Khan was determined to preside over the Commencement (Convocation) and the students of Dhaka University were similarly determined not to take diplomas from a Chancellor who was appointed by an administration that was not elected by the people of the East Pakistan. Consequently, this developed into a serious commotion between students and the law enforcement officers; and it became a mass protest against the military rule. Monem Khan's police arrested hundreds of students, including my elder brother Rahmatul Kibria.
