MUJIB
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Founding Father of Bangladesh AN INTRODUCTION Editorial team: Saida Muna Tasneem, High Commissioner of Bangladesh in the UK Sabbir Shams & Aninda Rahman Illustrations by Arafat Karim Few politicians, dead or alive, can be credited with accomplishing all that Mujib did. Born into an ordinary family, he worked his way up throughout his political career, without any financial or political support, driven by personal determination and commitment.
Mujib showed himself to be a tenacious and tactical statesman, capable of strategically navigating highly complex diplomatic situations. It was a road that led, ultimately, to him becoming the first leader of his homeland, and, in effect, founding the new state of Bangladesh. The legacy of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur is not just an inspiration for new generations but also an example of solid commitment to family and self. The versatility he showed throughout his life is demonstrated in this book, along with key defining moments in his political career. This important celebration of his life and legacy opens with an essay by Noble Laureate Amartya Sen on “Bangabandhu and Visions of Bangladesh”. |
Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh and daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founder of the nation of Bangladesh, presents the new edition of Mujib - An Introduction at Claridges Hotel, London November 2021.
