Announce DUCSU poll schedule apace

We usually use two words in case of referring Bengali New Year--'Son' and 'Sal' (year). 'Sal' is a 'Persian' word while 'Son' is 'Arabic'. Bengali vocabulary contains numerous words borrowed from Arabic and Persian. The name Bangladesh is not even Bengali, Bangla and Desh are Persian words.
Days at Palatana Training Camp
After the first battle of Bilonia, on June 21, 1971, the invading forces reached the Indian border of Bilonia, creating a frightening situation through heavy gunfire and incredible destruction. Before that, however, the people of the entire area, out of a natural urge to save their lives and honour, took refuge in the border areas of the Indian state of Tripura, especially in the city of Bilonia. The city of Bilonia was then flooded with freedom fighters and the common people of East Bengal. The Indian people welcomed them with a smile and sheltered them. I had already reached Bilonia to join the Palatana training camp. My friend Wali joined me on the way. In Bilonia, I met Jahangir and Ansar, students of Dhaka University.

Women politically sidelined since August 5
Before the anti-discrimination movement, there was the anti-quota movement. We, the female students of Dhaka University, used to march in protests. Initially, boys also participated, but due to pressure from the student wing of the ruling party in male dormitories, their numbers gradually decreased. However, since female dormitories did not face the same pressure, we could bring out large processions. Students from institutions like Badrunnesa College, Eden College, and Dhaka Nursing College joined in significant numbers. This spontaneous and substantial participation of women played a crucial role in the movement. We believed that if enough women participated, the ruling student wing would not dare to attack us.
