Chaksu unveils 'Azadir Itibritta' at Chittagong University, tracing history from the Partition of Bengal to the 2024 uprising
A book titled 'Azadir Itibritta' has been published at the initiative of the Chittagong University Central Students' Union (Chaksu). The book presents the history of the liberation struggle and democratic movements of the Bangla territory, from the Partition of Bengal to the July 2024 mass uprising.
The book was unveiled at the Chaksu premises at 2:30pm on Wednesday (28 October).
Published at the initiative of Chaksu's Liberation War and Democratic Movement department, the book covers the Partition of Bengal, the 1947 Partition, the great Liberation War of 1971, various movements from 2013 to 2018, and finally the July 2024 mass uprising.
The programme was anchored by Chaksu's Liberation War and Democratic Movement secretary Monaem Sharif, and the chief guest was Professor Dr Enayet Ullah Patwary, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Guests at the programme included Chaksu Vice-President (VP) Ibrahim Hossain Roni, General Secretary (GS) Said Bin Habib, and other representatives of Chaksu.
Chief guest Professor Dr Enayet Ullah Patwary said, 'This documentary book based on history will remain a milestone in the history of Chaksu. I welcome this initiative of theirs to assess history impartially.'
Chaksu VP Ibrahim Hossain Roni said, 'We have published many books from Chaksu so far. The book Azadir Itibritta is somewhat different in style from the other publications. It is only a small initiative of ours to present the lessons of history to everyone.'
Chaksu GS Said Bin Habib said, 'Our history does not begin in 1947 or 1971, but from even earlier. Through the book Azadir Itibritta, Chaksu has brought that history forward.'
The book's editor Monaem Sharif said the book depicts the Partition of Bengal, the Partition, the Language Movement, the Liberation War, military rule, Shapla-Shahbagh, the Safe Road movement, the quota reform movement, and finally the mass revolution of 2024.
Monaem Sharif also said the book compiles brief information on 16 martyrs of Chittagong University in the Liberation War and on Farhad and Hridoy Tarua, martyrs of 2024.
