Surely, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a great leader in history, for others to take lessons of politics and patriotism, a man of dogged tenacity of purpose and indomitable energy. He was firm in his decision, and kept away from adventure and deviation.
Sheikh Mujib was indeed the de facto administrator of the then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in March 1971 through an unique and unparallel non-cooperation movement, more effective than the non-cooperation movement of MC Gandhi of Indian National Congress during the British rule.
Sheikh Mujib was out and out a nationalist leader like Mao Tse Tung of China, Dr. Ahmad Soekarno of Indonesia, Abraham, Lincoln of the USA, Vladimir Lenin of the former Soviet Union, Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria, Josef Tito of now defunct Yugoslavia, and Omar Muktear of Libya. All of them fought to the last sigh to free their countries from the yoke of colonialism.
He was a man who never forgot his own identity. In his book Ausampta Atmajibani (Unfinished Memoirs) at page No. 47, he writes, “We have two identities. One of these is that we are Muslims, and the other is that we are Bangalis.” The book exposes the history of political conspiracies and economic exploitation of East Bengal during the first seven years of Pakistan.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was one of the active workers of United Bengal Movement of the Bengal Muslim League’s HS Suhrawardy and Abul Hashim, and the Bengal Congress’s Sarat Bose. These three leaders drafted the Constitution of the United Bengal in April 1947, but they could not be successful. Sarat Bose after return from Delhi issued a statement in the newspaper blaming Congress leaders for failure of the United Bengal movement.
The Architect of the Nation’s great political charisma was his famous six points, which finally guided the people for an independent State on the ashes of East Pakistan.
