CBGR's Ekushe Offerings

অমর একুশেতে সেন্টার ফর বাংলাদেশ জেনোসাইড রিসার্চের অর্ঘ্য

This is CBGR's humble offerings toward contents related to the historic Language Movement of February 21, 1952 - lovingly simplified and called 'Ekushe' by the Bengalis - that in essence had sown the seeds for Bangladesh's Liberation War in 1971.

The contents you will find here include:

1. The history of the Language Movement in Bangla and English

2. Some newspaper clippings around February 21, 1953 - independent Bangladesh's first Ekushe

3. Declassified U.S. documents from February 23, 1952

4. Ekushe February in pictures - a short movie

5. Short video clip of what is Ekushe in English

6. Short video clip of Probhat Feri

7. Poems on Ekushe in English

8. Moder Gorob Moder Asha - a compilation on Ekushe by the Bangla Academy

Moder Gorob Moder Asha is a mixed content album released by Bangla Academy in 1985. This album contains songs, poems, speeches, and dramas on Ekushe February - the Bangla Langauge Movement. The contents of that audio tape are presented here in the same sequence as the priginal tape. For listeners' convenience, album information is also added with the original cover, and the original content guide. We found it more convenient to use Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera to listen to this.
