For a history worm, 45 years may appear as the blink of an eye, with the vast time-space of human heritage taken into account, since they can time-travel any crucial juncture of socio-political evolution and pen that down with a flair for history-telling. But, for a man with the syndrome of historical amnesia, traveling down 45 years may be tantamount to slipping back into the last ice age and our country is most likely to be diagnosed with that syndrome. If you inquire youths, or even people in their sixties, about what stepping stones the Father of the Nation laid to advance the country’s economy and growth following the independence, you will realize the kind of historical amnesia that we as a nation collectively put ourselves into.

But, reality puts it the other way round and a closer look at that time reveals that Mujib channelized as much effort towards hoisting the red and green flag before the independence as much towards feeding 7 crore people, rebuilding a war-ravaged country, changing the lives of peasants and workers, and giving the entire nation a roadmap for progress in the post-independence time.
