Remembering Mandela

I have learned a new concept of love from Nelson Mandela's autobiography: love out of anger and injustice against the rule of the white minority in South Africa. It is amazing to see that after serving 27 years in jail, Mandela became the first black president there, believing in reconciliation with the white for permanent peace and harmony. Mandela never nourished any revenge against the white people. He is now considered the Greatest Gift of God for South Africa.
Mandela was a great statesman with vision, courage, sagacity and magnanimity for the people of the whole of Africa. He was greatly impressed by our profound respect and honor shown to him when he visited the land of the Brave (as he said), Bangladesh in 2007.
May God grant him eternal peace.
