BANGABANDHU'S EARLY LIFE (1920-1949)
Abid Bahar
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, later Bangabandu was born in Tongipara of Faridpur district in Bangladesh in March 1920 A.D. He was the third child among four daughters and two sons of Sheikh Lutfar Rahman and Siara Begum. The parents were very affectionate to him and called him Khoka. In his childhood due to eye problem in his left eye, the parents withdrew him from attending school for four years. What else would the parents do except to keep him home him from studies when with their one eyed child was laughed at by other children? During this time, the compulsive Mujib's prolonged break of study must have created anger in him. He had no home education either. His time was spent with children of the neighborhood who voluntarily skipped classes. After four years when Mujib returned back to school, compared to his fellow students, he found himself way behind in education. He also found himself physically taller. His parents demanded to the school authority that
Mujib should have auto promotion to his original class; after all Mujib's delay in education was not his fault. No permission was given to this end. The parents found it hard to deal with the crisis. The outcome was Mujib lost his interest in education and started to act like a rebel and when he had to attend classes he liked to sit in the back and either chat with students or to create trouble to other students. In 1938, to bring a change to Mujib's grubby reputation only at the age of eighteen, the parents forced him to get married to Begum Fazilatnnesa. Even after this change, Mujib's showed restlessness and a lack of interest in education. The father always reminded Mujib that he should continue his studies. To help him do well the father now decided to transfer him to Gopalganj missionary school.
 In the following year in1939 "Bongobondhu's political career was effectively inaugurated while he was a student at the missionary school. There he led a group of students to demand to Suhurwardhy who came to visit the school that the cracked roof of the school must be repaired before they let him go."(1) No one at the moment knew that Suhurawardhy just met a rebel who years later would be claimed by the successive AL governments as the father of Bangladesh nation.
When Suhrawardhy met Mujib he was still a High School bully.  Suhrawardhy the populist leader of his time quickly recruited Mujib to help counter his political rivals. Under Suhurrawardhy, Mujib began his flowering career to become a great leader. After years of trying, finally Mujib finished his Matriculation degree at the age of 22. He continued to work for Suhrawardhy and remained loyal to him until his death in 1962. In the Calcutta riot Mujib was with his mentor Suhurrawardhy who was behind the Hindu-Muslim Calcutta riot in the Jinnah called Direct Action Day which claimed many innocent lives for which the Congress Party leadership still blame Suhurawardhy. Mujib's body language in dress and mannerism and his association with Suhurawardhy at the time show the sign of Mujib's role at the time. See the picture and his nonverbal expressions especially his shirt's collar. See Sheikh Mujibur

 During these years Mujib was hardly a student. Despite his busy time with Suhrawardhy, it seems that he managed to complete his intermediate education at the Islamia College in Calcutta. He also finished his B.A. in Calcutta. One Mazharul Islam from Kutubdia of Chittagong was known to have written his BA examination from Calcutta Islamia College. Back in Dhaka he again became a student of law faculty at the Dhaka University; probably recommended by Suhurawardhy to help him prepare for a future statesman. But Mujib was seen by his fellow students to be sitting at the backbench with his group of his friends causing trouble to his professor Shamsun Nahar in the law faculty classroom.(2) Despite his disinterest in education, he was out and out a political person. He was also working against the normal order in the university for which unfortunately he never finished his law degree from Dhaka University; for he was deeply involved with Dhaka University's
4th class employees association. The university authority found his unauthorized involvement and fined him. Mujib the rebel refused to pay the fine. He was expelled from the University. True, in this act alone, Mujib exemplified the ideal of student involvement in politics for change. Mujib always succeeded in his actions and nobody dared to challenge his growing authority.
Who was the True Sheikh Mujibur Rahman?
Mujibès early life was not written in detail. But from the above we can assume that Mujib's upbringing made him more of a populist leader than a statesman. But he was no ordinary and a naïve leader as many people wish to believe. He was a complex figure in politics; a Machiavellian and as a very powerful rebel rouser ready to take risks but almost always knew how to save himself. Personally he showed pride and confidence in his work and in his accomplishments in one hand on the other hand he would show mockery to the opposition. These were his early sign of intolerance to the opposition, which continued until when established the BKSAL party. During his entire career we see almost always before a serious threat to his life he prepared the necessary grounds to be arrested and be in jail. Like in many other occasions, during the time of language movement as expected he was in jail. This reminds us of a story in a film where a perilous person the jail
authority just released to lessen the extra burden insisted that they keep him in jail where he would be safer. Not surprisingly, once Mujib was just released from jail and hearing the report of an imminent trouble, he did something violent in front of the jail premise causing the death of a child (3) His critics claimed that after his 7th March Speech to the 25th March in 1971 at the critical juncture of the national life instead of leading the nation he repeated his similar behavior and for his and his family's safety surrendered himself to the Pakistan army while the army massacred the innocents in Dhaka and elsewhere in the country. Once in the when Bangabandu began to show intolerance to the opposition, established the BKSAL one party rule, there was no doubt to Bangladeshis that Bangabandhu was the original Suhwardhy's muscleman with little education and no respect for law/ judiciary and human rights but now has only turned into an outwardly
smiling, laughing, and crying politician saying "Bhaiera Amer," a gentleman political actor our Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

[chottala.com] Kobi Almahumd ki Freedom Fighter Chilen ?Yes a great freedom fighter he was ????



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.

Dear All
 
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 !!!!!!!!!
 
Al Mahmood, then a young man in his thirties, did not join actively, in the
Liberation War efforts, either in the border area or in-side the country as
an Urban Guerrilla ........
 
In 1971 Al Mahmood was a frequent vistitor to the College Street Coffee
House 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 for
Bangladeshi- youths.
 
Oh yes, Al Mahmood definitely needed a certificate from  a Jamaat
sponsored 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 a
War Poet? A War Poet is a poet writing in time of and on the subject
of war..... World literature shows us many poets who has faught
in the war fronts with weapons in their arms and or writing about patriotic
wars..
 
On the other hand, Poet Shamsur Rahman's wrote his famous poem
"Asader Shirt" which was written with respect to the mass uprising
of 1969 .  During the Bangladesh War of Liberation, he wrote a number
of extra ordinary poems based on the war.
Does it matter, that he stayed in Dhaka?
Poet Shamsur Rahman made his contribution in his capacity
for our liberation  and made our nation greatly indebted to him ....
 
These poems were so inspiring that they were recited at the camps of
freedom fighters and Shadhin Bangla Betar ....
Later these poems were published in "Bondi Shibir Theke"
(Tr. From Confinement in Enemy Territory) in 1972. During the historical
movement against Ershad  Shamsur Rahman published his book
"Buk Tar Bangladesher Hridoy" indicating the great sacrifice of 
Nur 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.

 

স্বাধীনতা তুমি
স্বাধীনতা তুমি রবি ঠাকুরের অজর কবিতা, অবিনাশী গান
স্বাধীনতা তুমি কাজী নজরুল, ঝাকড়া চুলের বাবরি দোলানো মহান পুরুষ
সৃষ্টি সুখের উল্লাশে কাঁপা

Shadhinota Tumi
Shadhinota tumi Robi Ţhakurer ôjor kobita, obinashi gan
Shadhinota tumi Kazi Nozrul, jhakŗa chuler babri dolano môhan purush
srishţi-shukher ullashe kãpa ...

Freedom, You
Freedom, you are the immortal poems and songs of Rabindranath
Freedom, you are Kazi Nazrul, the great man with waving unkempt hair,
raptured in your joy of creation ....

During 1990s.he becamea frequent target of the reactionary  politicians
as well as the Islam-passands of the country. This culminated in the
January 1999 attack on his life by the militan Islamist. 
He survived the attempt.
 
Poet Shamsur Rahman recived Ekushe Podok in 1977 during
Ziaur Rahman's regime for his contribution to Bangla literature.
He was never declared a Muktijudha , even though his  contribution
to our war of independence was tremendous.
 
Again, Shamsur Rahman's participation in our War of Independence
is revealed through his poems in "Bondi Shibir Theke"
