Thank you for your kind letter and for addressing me as a "young man". In fact, I am 72 years old, still in workable health and regulalrly writing columns in newspapers. My name is Moyeenul Alam, to dispel your confusion.
I am one of six unworthy sons of late Mahbubul Alam who wrote and published in 1974 the first book about history of Bangladesh liberation " Bangalir mukti juddher etibritto". I handed over the book to Sheikh Mujib who appreciated my father's work of writing the book at his age of 76. My father Mahbubul Alam was one of the most respected writers in Pakistan and in Bangladesh. He was awarded President's Pride of Performance Medal for Literature in 1965 in Pakistan. In Bangladesh he was awarded Ekushey Padak for Literature. His most famous books are "Momenayr Jabanbondi" (which is read in B.A. Bengali Honours classes in universities), and "Paltan Jibanayr Smriti" which is the first book written in Bengali language on military experiences of a Bengali soldier. Mahbubul Alam fought under British Indian Army in Iraq for three years from 1915-1918 in the first World War. Mahbubul Alam died in Chittagong in 1981 at the age of 83.
I began journalism in Chittagong in 1956. From 1959 I was the Resident Representative of Daily Ittefaq in Chittagong for 36 years until I migrated to Canada in 1995. Sheikh Mujib knew me well as a journalist and gave me the privilege to meet him in private whenever I wanted even during his most busy schedules.
I hope your curiosity will be satisfied. You might like to read my another write-up entitled "CEC tarotomiyoti bujhThank you again for writing me,
Yours sincerely
Moyeenul Alam
