One of the objects of the International Centre for Sheikh Mujib Studies (ICSS) is to propagate the highly enlightened political and economic philosophy of the Founding Father of the Bangladeshi Nation, and its first President, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Sheikh Mujib was more interested in the concrete than the abstract. He was a thinker and a man of action, and insisted that thought without action was a luxury the people of Bangladesh can ill afford. His emphasis was on Praxis. For him the supreme objective was to utilise knowledge, research, and intellectual and other scholarly tools to change the world for the better for the poor and underprivileged. He was at heart an egalitarian. He was religious, but he believed firmly that prayer and practical action went hand in hand.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was an extraordinary orator. He was termed as a ‘poet of politics’ by the international ‘Newsweek’ magazine in April 1971. With the magic of words, he could awaken people. During the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s, he gave speeches that showed Bengalis the way to freedom. And at the forefront of Bangabandhu's great speeches is the one he gave on March 7, 1971, in a crowded Racecourse ground in Dhaka (now known as Suhrawardy Udyan). By leading the Bengali people to independence, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the Father of The Nation and the leader of the world's oppressed peoples' liberation movement. This book contains 25 selected sp...

"When Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's diaries came to light in 2004, it was an indisputably historic event. His daughter, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, had the notebooks -- their pages by then brittle and discoloured -- carefully transcribed and later translated from Bengali into English. Written during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's sojourns in jail as a state prisoner between 1967 and 1969, they begin with his recollections of his days as a student activist in the run-up to the movement for Pakistan in the early 1940s. They cover the Bengali language movement, the first stirrings of the movement for Bangladesh independence and self-rule, and powerfully convey the great uncertainties as well as the great hopes that dominated the time. The last notebook ends with the events accompanying the struggle for democratic rights in 1955." --
