First interview of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and confusion

[VikingRaider]

 

[VikingRaider]

Any Bangladeshi poster ever heard direct voice from Bangabandhu sheikh Mujibur Rahman ? It is 5 months old video I suddenly found . I am confused from 55 seconds .

Here Bangabandhu said that Pakistani army burnt 2.5-3 crore house that means 25 - 30 millions houses! Had Bangladesh such amount of house in that time when population was 75 million ?

Or is it a latest BAL miracle ?

@bluesky , if I am not mistaken perhaps you heard the direct voice of Bangabandhu. But is it his real voice or forged voice by current chamchas ?! I am just speechless!!

@Bilal9 , @DalalErMaNodi , and others any opinion regarding this video !!

I have first heard Mujib's voice when he was making a public speech in Faridpur Stadium. And I directly spoke to him, Dr. Kamal and Tofael in a party in a famous hotel thrown by the Japanese govt during his visit of Japan in 1974. There were many other dignitaries with him from BD.

About his claim of destruction, we have to understand that he was a political man. Talking against Pakistan Army was his pass time, so it was natural for him to exaggerate everything. One of the famous exaggerations is 3 million killed and I find this 25 million houses burned by the PA troops also another big lie.

He should have limited his nature of falsifying things because it has caused all of us to do similar things. People try to emulate their leaders. However, we people should not trust whatever our leaders say and pick fight with Pakistani people. They are not that unkind towards us which I found during my stay in Karachi.

Okay thanks for this information. So surely you know that it is his own voice .

Well yes , since he was a politician of this region so surely now it's time for everyone to accept the reality instead of idolizing a politician . However I think people actually needed the video to learn that he was a politician only who also seek benefit to gain public favor, and that's the reason they can tell lie . 3 million incident can be be considered his mistake , and later in order to avoid controversy he tried to establish the figure , that's okay ! But no one can make mistake several times, specially when history is unforgiving . All I can say is. I really needed to watch such video ( Serving as direct evidence ) to stop idolizing him .

Still I believe that he was a good man,and his party goons defame his name . But from now surely I will not consider him as an idol who can not tell lie . Surely he can do , only to gain public attention just like other politician of our time . I am truly upset ,

Thanks to BBC Bangla who decided to Publish the interviews of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for Mujib Borsho . Many people will know many thing if they are ready to think with open mind. And the interview was not visionary too . I expected a better vision from the leader , who already lead a country to it's freedom .

Such shortsighted interview was unexpected from him . In this interview even he refused to recognize any major problem of a newly independent country . The interview clearly shows that, he was not ready to build up a newly independent country !! Emotional interview can not solve your problem , he had to realize that . In short I am truly disappointed. But I am also happy that, I no longer need to defend him (after hearing the 3 crore house burn theory) ( as a part of my volunteer obligation ) when people criticize him . Thank you for this discussion.

You asked me about the authenticity of his voice. in his public speech he used a loud but controlled voice. In Tokyo, he did not hold a meeting where he gave speech. We talked only a few words in the banquet room of Tokyo's Imperial Hotel.

In the interview, he talks in a low voice, but no doubt it is his own voice. He has some Faridpur intonation when he talks, interview or not. I found it in some of his answers. Listen to his final few words. He was speaking in almost standard Bengali, after all it was a BBC interview, but the last words were completely colloquial Faridpuri.

Do not be too hard on him. He wanted his party to get into power. So, in his public speeches he spoke many wrong comparisons with the west. He claimed if the Dhaka night is a 100 watt bulb, then Karachi was 1,000 watt, and many other things in order to instigate people. I had been to Karachi, but the comparison was not that true.

It was same with industrialization. Karachi had many more industries no doubt, but they were built by the private Indian Muhajirs (21 of the 22 families) who built their industries first in the east and after 1952, built in the west. Disparities were created but it was not solely due to the GoP.

Mujib was not an Angel from the sky. Same is true for all politicians of east and west. ZA Bhutto was more treacherous. Bhutto was rich and very ambitious. His continuous agitation and Mujib's caused the fall of President Ayub Khan, who, in my opinion, was the best administrator.

After his fall, the two bad or good guys started to vie for the premiership and caused the bifurcation of the country. In this case, of course, Bhutto was more responsible.

Either he was smoking funny smokes or he was used to telling tall tales. But hey - father of the nation so he will be forgiven for being a bit effusive.

Look at Trump and the way he does math.

Good Man!

Should've said 30 crore.

This is a faridpura trait... most probably gets it from their neighbor next door... barishal...
But I’m willing to overlook this as he was of a different time with different sets of problems. We can’t judge them by modern standards

Yes I understand now. There is no reason for me to disagree now after hearing directly from his interview.

Being a hero is not an easy thing . Few people are perhaps qualified for this position,and our politicians ( does not matter how good they are) aren't among them.

Well brother he will be forgiven no doubt . Because his daughter is doing well . But his position is changed . He also did very well after independence when he compelled India to withdraw it's army .

Until late yesterday, you could give positive and negative ratings, even If you aren't a staff member, It has since been fixed.

Oh so it was a flaw of system? Okay understand now .

I never had this option before. Just saw this opinion available when they changed the skin of forum .

However I still love the old style that I have been used from the beginning. Now having hard time getting used to with this new theme.
