Death of Dr. Humayun Azad
The death of eminent writer Dr. Humayun Azad in an alien country like Germany and that too in doubtful circumstances is surely to be regretted. However, I fail to understand why a weak and sick person like him would go alone on a year long scholarship to a country where you have to physically do all your works including food preparation, washing and other daily works. How and why he was allowed to go alone? Even a young man not used to the European climate and life style becomes sick! If it was his dream assignment and he did not want to miss it, he should have taken his wife with him who could comfortably look after him or at least if he was destined to die at that moment, she should have rendered help and become a witness to his death. Whatever be the reason, we have lost a great literary figure for a simple reason of letting him go to Germany without any companion or assistant.
