Dr Azad's demise
Humanyun Azad is no more among us. He passed away on 12 August in Germany where he had reportedly gone on a scholarship of one year for higher studies. He had been the talk of the country after the dedicated linguist and forthright writer came under the diabolic blitz from some miscreants. When he was convalescing , he was often threatened by the attackers.
Probably finding his country unsafe to live in, he very covertly went to Germany where he breathed his last. But his sudden and unexpected demise has spawned a lot of doubts whether it is a natural death or some defeated hands have masterminded it, though the primary medical report has quashed all the doubts and skepticism about anything unnatural.
