Recognising contribution


Though belated, I believe there is still time for us to honour the foreigners who was on our side during the Liberation war. More than thirty years have passed after independence but no move has been made so far by any of the governments to recognise the contribution of our foreign friends officially except Ouderland who is honoured with a Birprotic title. But that is not enough. Many of them have already passed away.

We must recall that India gave us a shoulder under the leadership of then prime minister the late Indira Gandhi; George Harrison who was an icon of rock music drew the attention of the world towards our liberation war. But sadly no monument got orated or no road or institution was named after them. Hundreds of Indian soldiers lost their lives to liberate us but still no mausoleum is erected to honour their sacrifice.
