BANGLADESH-INDIA-BOOK
Special book ‘Shining Bangladesh’ published in India
DHAKA, June 5, 2020 (BSS) – Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi has brought out a special ‘coffee table book’ to mark the 49th anniversary of Bangladesh Independence and National Day.
The 90-page publication, Shining Bangladesh, has been dedicated to the celebration of the 100th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bengali of all time.
A special feature of the contents has been Narendra Modi’s homage to Bangabandhu in which the Indian Prime Minister described him as “one of the greatest personalities of the last century.”
“His (Bangabandhu’s) life is a tremendous inspiration for all of us,” Modi said.
Besides separate messages from President Md. Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the book contains some rare historical pictures on the life and political career of Bangabandhu.
Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Muhammad Imran, who contributed a write-up on warm bilateral relation between India and Bangladesh, appreciated the publication of the colourful book.
The CTB contains an English translation of Sheikh Rehana’s poem “Baba” done by Farid Hossain, minister (Press) at the mission.
The publication of the book, which was scheduled to come out on the Independence Day (March 26), was delayed by over two months because of COVID-19-induced disruptions in normal life.
