Propaganda about Bangabandhu's Declaration of Independence: Who is qualified to write this history?
Abid Bahar
Who is qualified to write history. Is it the trained historians, propagandists or the High Court judges? The article (see the link) raises some valid questions.
Link: history?http://www.storyofbangladesh.com/blog/tmhussain/48-baseless-tainting-of-historical-facts.html
First, who writes history? History is written by trained historians through providing relevant sources/ facts. In the Hasina's contemporary Awami League rule, history is being written and given its seal of validity by judges appointed by the political party.
To me if history is written by judges or propagandists, it means the party in power creates selective information to its preferences. It is not constructing knowledge (truth) through critical thinking. Judges writing history is not new in history. Hasina's judges writing history is a confirmation that Hasina turned Bangladesh simply into a fascist state.

Dear Mannan Sir.Assalamualaikum. Thank you for your constructive article on Student politics. Some of us still think that you should take the lead role to start a movement on banning our so called today's student politics. Sir, I understand your sentiment towards 50's and 60's student politics. But I'm sure you are informed enough to distinguish pre Bangladesh and post Bangladesh student politics outcome in our country.Thank You.HelalFrom: Abdul Mannan <abman1971@gmail.com>
