George Harrison
November 2001)
To Bangladeshis, the late Beatle, George Harrison is more than just a guitarist and singer. He is long remembered for his contribution to the Bangladesh War of Liberation in 1971. When his friend, the great Sitar maestro Ravi Sankar, approached him asking for help for a flood and war ravaged Bangladesh, Harrison, also known as the "shy Beatle" decided to organise the Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He invited his famous rock star friends to participate, including Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, and the concert was a resounding success that not only got global attention for a South Asian Nation, it also became an amazing example for large scale big name benefits.
"TRY TO REALIZE IT'S
ALL WITHIN YOURSELF
NO ONE ELSE CAN
MAKE YOU CHANGE,
AND TO SEE YOU'RE
ONLY VERY SMALL
AND LIFE FLOWS ON
WITHIN YOU AND
WITHOUT YOU.
YOU'VE GOT AS MANY
LIVES AS YOU LIKE, AND
MORE, EVEN ONES
YOU DON'T WANT.
AS LONG AS YOU
HATE, THERE WILL
BE PEOPLE TO HATE."
