Topic: Degue – A visual synopsis
From the Editor’s Pen
On the eve of the 35th Independence and National Day
on 26 March 2016, let us all pay our deepest gratitude
and sincere homage to our valiant freedom fighters and
all freedom loving people, living and martyred, for their
sacrifices in the struggle for the liberation of the
country - Bangladesh.
On 26 March 1971 a new nation was born in the
community of world nations. It followed a bloody war of
liberation which witnessed one of the worst atrocities
by the ruling Pakistani junta which affected hundreds
and thousands of people, mostly innocent men and
women, kidnapped, killed, tortured, raped and brutalized
and their homes arsoned and torched. After nine
months of brutal struggle on 16 December 1971 the
Bengalis earned their complete freedom from the
occupation forces to fulfill their centuries old desire
for separate homeland ‘the Sonar Bangla’ – the Bengalis
dream for political, economic and social emancipation.
Now it is the call for nation building by all sections of
the people, especially the Rotarians who are instilled
with the commitment to serve the society through the
five avenues of services. Although Rotary was imbedded
in this part of the world since 1937, it flourished after
the liberation of the country with present over 300
clubs in two districts with membership over 10,000
rotarians, rotaractors and interactors to serve the
people. Through various projects and programs at club,
district and RI level the Rotary has invested in financial,
material and human resources. It has eradicated killer
diseases like Polio not only from Bangladesh but from
most of the world.
Rotary Club of Dhaka as the mother Club of Rotary in
Bangladesh has significant contribution in struggle for
the liberation of the country. Post liberation, the Club
has been continuously contributing to the uplifting of
the people’s life quality in keeping with the Rotary
theme ‘Be a gift to the society’.
