Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was an extraordinary orator. He was termed as a ‘poet of politics’ by the international ‘Newsweek’ magazine in April 1971. With the magic of words, he could awaken people. During the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s, he gave speeches that showed Bengalis the way to freedom. And at the forefront of Bangabandhu's great speeches is the one he gave on March 7, 1971, in a crowded Racecourse ground in Dhaka (now known as Suhrawardy Udyan). By leading the Bengali people to independence, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the Father of The Nation and the leader of the world's oppressed peoples' liberation movement. This book contains 25 selected speeches of Sheikh Mujib. These speeches will provide insight into Bangabandhu's overall leadership ability. Therein lies the path to the liberation of the world's marginalised people. The words spoken in these speeches are still relevant today, despite being delivered decades ago. This is a must-read for those interested in Bangladesh's independence struggle, Bangabandhu, or the Third World citizens. Aside from that, we think our readers will enjoy this book. They can understand how, despite being the leader of a small South Asian country like Bangladesh, Bangabandhu emerged to become one of the world's most influential leaders in his time. Readers can also discover how a leader overcame adversity to change the path of his country and time. *** “I have not seen the Himalayas. But I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, this man is the Himalayas. I have thus had the experience of witnessing the Himalayas.” -Cuban leader Fidel Castro speaking about Mujib during the Non-Aligned Summit held in Algiers in 1973. “In a sense, Sheikh Mujib is a greater leader than George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi and De Valera.” -Lord Fenner Brockway, British politician and passionate socialist. “The Indian subcontinent is going through a hard situation due to ideological misleading and we have many reasons to seek help from Bangabandhu aiming to get encouraged and direction to this end. Sheikh Mujib’s thoughts and judgments are still relevant.” - Nobel laureate Amartya Sen. “Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib was ahead of his time. He was a champion of human rights who fought against oppression and exploitation. I had to prepare a draft report which was sent from Delhi to Seoul to establish diplomatic relations with Bangladesh. With my fountain pen, I signed a document for establishing diplomatic relations between the two nations.” - Former Secretary General of United Nations Ban Ki Moon.

A compelling day-by-day glimpse of highlights from 2,500 years of human history through 366 quotations. History Day by Day presents an original perspective on over two millennia of human history through 366 quotations, one for each day of the year, including leap years. Each quotation, tied to the anniversary of a significant historical event, captures that moment with the immediacy of an eyewitness or the narrative flair of a chronicler.

History Day by Day embraces a wide range of voices, moods, and mediums, from the powerful to the impoverished, the revolutionary to the reactionary, the joyful to the grief-stricken, and the eyewitness to the diarist. Both engrossing anthology and informative overview of world history, History Day by Day offers readers entertainment and information in equal measure.

This volume brings together a range of critical studies that explore diverse ways in which processes of globalization pose new challenges and offer new opportunities for religious groups to propagate their beliefs in contemporary Asian contexts. Proselytizing tests the limits of religious pluralism, as it is a practice that exists on the border of tolerance and intolerance. The practice of proselytizing presupposes not only that people are freely-choosing agents and that religion itself is an issue of individual preference. At the same time, however, it also raises fraught questions about belonging to particular communities and heightens the moral stakes in involved in such choices. In many contemporary Asian societies, questions about the limits of acceptable proselytic behavior have taken on added urgency in the current era of globalization. Recognizing this, the studies brought together here serve to develop our understandings of current developments as it critically explores the complex ways in which contemporary contexts of religious pluralism in Asia both enable, and are threatened by, projects of proselytization.
