NEW DELHI (ANI) – Bangabandhu, Bangladesh and Britain explores the pivotal life of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh, and the nation’s journey to independence. Co-authored by Abu Syed and Priyajit Debsarkar, the book delves into key historical events, including the language movement, the Great Famine, economic exploitation, financial apartheid, and post-1971 diplomatic tensions.

Debsarkar emphasized the book’s relevance, stating, “This book is an important piece of nonfiction. I find it especially relevant today, as we reflect on Bangladesh’s journey post-5th August. It also honors the legacy of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, without whom Bangladesh would not exist on the world map.”
