Bangladesh emerged as a sovereign state on December 16, 1971, following a nine-month-long Liberation War. This year, the nation celebrates Victory Day with renewed fervour, especially after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s regime on August 5, 2024.

Spinner Nayeem Hasan was adjudged the player of the tier-2 tournament for his 36 scalps.    

Notun Bazar was burning, burning! /Shops, stores, woodpiles/ Piled up iron, timber, mosques and temples/ Notun Bazar was burning, burning!

Shamsur Rahman does not need any introduction. The poet, who emerged in the latter half of the 20th century, wrote over 60 books of poetry and was regarded as the unofficial poet laureate of Bangladesh.
