Last December 14, the Bangladesh Krishok Federation (BKF) and its national coalition commemorated Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh (Martyred Intellectuals Day) by placing floral wreaths at the Intellectuals’ graveyard.
On that day in 1971, renowned academics, doctors, engineers, journalists, teachers and other eminent personalities were dragged blindfolded out of their homes in Dhaka and killed in cold blood by the Pakistani army with the intention of intellectually crippling the newly-born nation. This happened two days before the Pakistani army surrendered to the Indian military and Mukhti Bahini forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War, as the former already sensed their imminent defeat.
