Hena Das was a person of such compassion for the poor and the downtrodden that the word 'comrade' seems to have been invented for her. Her life's long journey of dedication to social justice began early, never took a break, and now, it has come to its fitfully glorious end. We will never be able to fill the vacuum she has left behind.
As founder members of Mohila Parishad, my mother, Firoza Khatun Jyotsna worked with Hena Das and Begum Sufia Kamal. These were women of great power and beauty of mind. As a society, I cannot but think how lucky we have been to have them among our midst as pathfinders! Thank you, Hena mashi, for being the wonderful human being you had been on this earth!
May the beautiful soul of Hena Das find eternal peace.
