Martyred Intellectuals Day

14 December is the day of remembrance for the intellectuals who lost their lives for this country – a pain in the history of this nation. Pakistani forces and their local collaborators killed teachers, writers, doctors, journalists and talented youth one by one on this day, with the goal of stifling our growth in the absence of intellectuals in our midst. Although we mourned for our losses, the perpetrators did not realise that this nation never takes heed of barriers. Instead, Bangladesh considered it as the first sign of success, continuing to reach greater heights ever since. However, we would also like to see some justice for the individuals who lost their lives for us.
