No event of such magnitude ever happened to the Bangalee people, in their
eventful history of thousands of years. For the first time, Bangalee people
fought for recognition as a distinct
nation. And that very impossibility was becoming true with the maturation and rise of
"Bangabandhu" Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of the nation and the tragic hero of our century.
At the moment of imminent defeat, the Pakistani military and their local collaborators (mostly fundamentalist Jamat-e-Islami cadars) started systematically killing the leading intellectuals. They killed university professors, writers, journalists, doctors, etc. The blueprint found after the war indicates their plan to make Bangladesh a "brainless land" by killing all intellectuals, step by step, up from the University professors, down to the primary school teachers. Thank god, they did not have enough time to execute the plan. In December 14, the Paksitani military and local collaborators killed many of the leading intellectuls, including Munier Chowdhury, Shahidullah Kaiser, G.C. Dev, Muffazal Haider Chowdhury among others. This is an attempt to provide brief life and works of each intelelctuls. Any information provided will be welcomed.
