@Dr. Bain,
Thank you so much for your kind words. The fact is - we, all, have so many personal stories to tell about the liberation struggle; only a tiny fraction of those has been told. Post Bongabondhu Awami-League is either totally incompetent or deliberately avoiding to tell the real story of the Liberation war. Younger generation is totally at dark about it.
After I wrote this story, I, first, e-mailed it to my two daughters. I always ask them to check Mukto-mona writer's corner, whenever something interesting appears. I would like to encourage everyone to contribute their own stories there for the sake of young generation abroad.
Thanks again.

Indeed, it is an epic story. Thanks to Dr. Roy for writing it so eloquently. I feel humbled and lucky that I was not a student at Dhaka University in 1971. After 1974, I spent some of my time at Jagannath Hall, and most time at Shahidullah Hall, while I was a student at Dhaka University. Of course, Jagannath Hall was the site of the most indiscriminate killings in the night of March 25-26, 1971, by the Hindu-hater barbarians of Pakistan. While I was not there in that night, I also feel myself like tortured and killed by those beasts, because they hated people like me, and I would have met the same fate had I been there at the time, even if I were an absolutely innocent poor student with no political affiliation and just getting an education via supporting myself through house-tutoring.
