Dear Md. Aminul Islam
The issue is whether Al-Mahmood directly paticipated in
Muktijuddho or not ?
As I have said before:
If "just going to Calcutta in 1971 makes one a freedom-fighter" is the
definition of a Muktijuddha then it fits Al Mahmood very well ... with this
definition Al Mahmood was a great freedom fighter !!!!!!!!!
Md. Aminul Islam , you said "Even Mujib could not raise a question about
Al Mahmud's role in liberation ..."
Nor did the Ghosok Gen. Zia questioned Al Mahmood's role as a freedom
fighter ...
Now, the Party that collaboraed with the occupation regime i.e.
Jamaate Islami is rewarding him with a creast and a Taka 50000/-
check for his role in 1971 !!!!!!!!!!
It will be worthwhile, if you describe Al Mahmood's role in 1971
[his inspiring poems or active duty in the battle fields]
We should thank Al Mahmood for not joining Bodor Bahini
in 1971 under Matiur Rahman's leadership..... rather he chose
to go to Calcutta .....
BTW, Poet Shamsur Rahman made his contribution in his capacity
for our liberation and made our nation greatly indebted to him ....
Poet Shamsur Rahman recived Ekushe Podok in 1977 during
Ziaur Rahman's regime for his contribution to Bangla literature
[that includes his 1971 Liberation War poems].
Poet Shamsur Rahman's contribution to our war of independence
was tremendous, perhaps more than any other living poet of his time.
Again, Shamsur Rahman's participation in our War of Independence
is revealed through his poems in "Bondi Shibir Theke"
Thanks
Syed Aslam

Dear Sayed Aslam,Even Mujib could not raise a question about Al Mahmud's role in liberation war though he was the editor of GONOKONTHO which was attacked by BAL n Al mahmud was jailed. Latter Mujib gave him job in silpokola accademi.So u r more Baksalist than Mujib.Samsur rahman n Hasan hafizur rahman worked in Daily Pakistan during the 9 months war.They rejeked mujibs order >they did nor accept Mujib as a leader of Bangladesh.So they did not join our liberation war.Mujib was the leader of liberation.Pakistan

Dear AllIf "just going to Calcutta in 1971 makes one a freedom-fighter" is thedefinition of a Muktijuddha then it fits Al Mahmood very well ... with thisdefinition Al Mahmood was a great freedom fighter !!!!!!!!!Al Mahmood, then a young man in his thirties, did not join actively, in theLiberation War efforts, either in the border area or in-side the country asan Urban Guerrilla ........In 1971 Al Mahmood was a frequent vistitor to the College Street CoffeeHouse and in Sonagachi in Calcutta (the then Kolkata) and had lots of fun.He even got involved in a s-scandal that brought much shame forBangladeshi- youths.Oh yes, Al Mahmood definitely needed a certificate from a Jamaatsponsored parishad to be a freedom fighter ![Yes what a great freedom fighter he was ???????????? ??]What are his creative writings and Poems to qualify him even as aWar Poet? A War Poet is a poet writing in time of and on the subjectof war..... World literature shows us many poets who has faughtin the war fronts with weapons in their arms and or writing about patrioticwars..On the other hand, Poet Shamsur Rahman's wrote his famous poem"Asader Shirt" which was written with respect to the mass uprisingof 1969 . During the Bangladesh War of Liberation, he wrote a numberof extra ordinary poems based on the war.Does it matter, that he stayed in Dhaka?Poet Shamsur Rahman made his contribution in his capacityfor our liberation and made our nation greatly indebted to him ....These poems were so inspiring that they were recited at the camps offreedom fighters and Shadhin Bangla Betar ....Later these poems were published in "Bondi Shibir Theke"(Tr. From Confinement in Enemy Territory) in 1972. During the historicalmovement against Ershad Shamsur Rahman published his book"Buk Tar Bangladesher Hridoy" indicating the great sacrifice ofNur Hossain [Sairachar nipat jak, Ganatantra mukti pak ]Poet Shmsur Rahman's most famous poem, is a poem written in 1971
during the liberation war in Bangladesh.

This culminated in theJanuary 1999 attack on his life by the militan Islamist.He survived the attempt.Poet Shamsur Rahman recived Ekushe Podok in 1977 duringZiaur Rahman's regime for his contribution to Bangla literature.He was never declared a Muktijudha , even though his contributionto our war of independence was tremendous.Again, Shamsur Rahman's participation in our War of Independenceis revealed through his poems in "Bondi Shibir Theke"Syed Aslam
