Subject: Re: [chottala.com] Two interesting and informative articles
Dear Hasan MahmudI would like to thank you for the paper clippings.In Farzeen's article it show how brave her grand father was when he replied to the Indian Army. It reminds me when i read about Raja Poru gotdefeated and brought before Alexander the Great and was asked by Alexander how he should be treated? Raja Poru bravely replied "Like a King".By hearing this brave reply Alexander gave back Raja Poru's kingdom.As Chittagonian we should be all proud of Farzeen's grand father Late A.K.M. Fazlul Quader Chowdhury.He was a great patriot and when he died of mysterious reasons in Dhaka Central Jail in the year 1973 their were few hundred thousand people attended his Janaza.The people of Chittagong has really showed their last respect to this great son of the soil. We should not forget his contribution for Chittagong. Such asChittagong University (which was suppose to be in Comilla), Chiitagong Marine Academy (which was suppose to be in Karachi), and Chittagong EngineeringCollege.
I would like to say that he was the last Lion of Chittagong.I think he believed what Tipu Sultan said 'I would like to live like a Lion for two days instead of a rat for two hundred days'.Thank you again for the paper clippings.Ataul Karim(free thinker)
