“Bangladesh 1971”
It is immensely pleasing to see the successful holding of the first ever seminar held outside Bangladesh on the genocide perpetrated by the Pakistanis in Bangladesh in 1971. It is even more satisfying to see that the whole idea of organising such a seminar and proposal for initiating the scope of academic research on Bangladesh genocide and introducing the same as a Post Graduate course in Holocaust and Genocide Studies programme at Kean University is the brainchild of young Bangladeshi Arif Rahman, born after liberation. I must thank and congratulate Arif Rahman and his team of young Bangladeshis.
I would also like to congratulate Dr. Bernard Weinstein, Dr. Raunaq Jahan, Mr. M.M.R. Jalal, Dr. Nasir, Dr. Sachi G. Dastidar, Dr. Nurunnabi and survivors and family members of the victims for attending the seminar and sharing their thoughts. Such patronage extended to the young people is highly appreciable.
