The Politics of Independence in Bangladesh
David LuddenHistorians still do not have all the records they need to fully understand the freedom struggle of Bangladesh and offer a proper appreciation of the role of all the participants. Political parties remain justifiably attached to their founders; partisans attached to India and Pakistan also have their memories, points of view and all merit attention. To recover the deeper history of independence, however, scholars need to study its popular dimensions, and, in that light, it is most obvious that radical student leaders and countless lesser lights in the people's struggle for independence still do not have the place in history they deserve.
David Ludden is Professor of Political Economy and Globalization in the Department of History at New York University. He first worked in South Asia as a public health intern, but in graduate school, he migrated into studies and translations of Tamil literature and into research in economic and social history and development studies. He received his Ph.D. in History in 1978 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he served on the faculty from 1981 until 2007.
