Bangladesh War of Liberation in 1971 created waves across the world. There were artistes who made music and sketched pictures depicting the struggle, and the masses took to the streets in defense of Bengali struggle for liberation. In various newspapers, periodicals and journals, articles, comments and editorials were published to highlight Bangladesh War of Liberation. All of these recorded documents of history, as it were, have now been collated and collected for publication by Bangladesh Charcha (Centre for Bangladesh Studies), entitled Media and the Liberation War of Bangladesh.
The present volume is the outcome of two India-Bangladesh Dialogues of journalists which were held on 7-8 September and 30 November-l December 2004 at the BEI. The initiative was the first of its kind inspired by the belief that young media persons hardly carried the burden of the past history (1947-71) of the subcontinent.
