In a country like Bangladesh, where everything is possible, the declarer of the liberation war has been changed after 32 years of independence. We, the post-war generation, have had the misfortune of not being witness to those great moments. School-level textbooks were the lone primary informers. Unfortunately, present and previous ruling parties believe in correction of history (how it is possible!) as far as proclamation of independence is concerned. Already the BNP-led government has made changes in the newly reprinted Swadhinata Juddher Dalilpatra to serve us the real (!) history.Can history be modified ? Even they had changed the date of declaration. We would like to request those who are playing with the past to refrain from igniting the fire of controversy, and from splitting us.
Please let us know the truth.
