Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
On Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 1922-1975, founder of the nation of Bangladesh.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
One of the objects of the International Centre for Sheikh Mujib Studies (ICSS) is to propagate the highly enlightened political and economic philosophy of the Founding Father of the Bangladeshi Nation, and its first President, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Sheikh Mujib was more interested in the concrete than the abstract. He was a thinker and a man of action, and insisted that thought without action was a luxury the people of Bangladesh can ill afford. His emphasis was on Praxis. For him the supreme objective was to utilise knowledge, research, and intellectual and other scholarly tools to change the world for the better for the poor and underprivileged. He was at heart an egalitarian. He was religious, but he believed firmly that prayer and practical action went hand in hand.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman the Unfinished Memoirs
Unfinished memoirs of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 1922-1975, politician, and first president of Bangladesh.
The Unfinished Memoirs
"When Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's diaries came to light in 2004, it was an indisputably historic event. His daughter, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, had the notebooks -- their pages by then brittle and discoloured -- carefully transcribed and later translated from Bengali into English. Written during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's sojourns in jail as a state prisoner between 1967 and 1969, they begin with his recollections of his days as a student activist in the run-up to the movement for Pakistan in the early 1940s. They cover the Bengali language movement, the first stirrings of the movement for Bangladesh independence and self-rule, and powerfully convey the great uncertainties as well as the great hopes that dominated the time. The last notebook ends with the events accompanying the struggle for democratic rights in 1955." --

The Colonel Who Would Not Repent
Bangladesh was once East Pakistan, the Muslim nation carved out of the Indian Subcontinent when it gained independence from Britain in 1947. As religion alone could not keep East Pakistan and West Pakistan together, Bengali-speaking East Pakistan fought for and achieved liberation in 1971. Coups and assassinations followed, and two decades later it completed its long, tumultuous transition to parliamentary government. Its history is complex and tragic—one of war, natural disaster, starvation, corruption, and political instability. First published in India by the Aleph Book Company, Salil Tripathi’s lyrical, beautifully wrought tale of the difficult birth and conflict-ridden politics of this haunted land has received international critical acclaim, and his reporting has been honored with a Mumbai Press Club Red Ink Award for Excellence in Journalism. The Colonel Who Would Not Repent is an insightful study of a nation struggling to survive and define itself.
Contemporary Developments in Indonesian Islam
"Once celebrated in the Western media as a shining example of a 'liberal' and 'tolerant' Islam, Indonesia since the end of the Soeharto regime (May 1998) has witnessed a variety of developments that bespeak a conservative turn in the country's Muslim politics. In this timely collection of original essays, Martin van Bruinessen, our most distinguished senior Western scholar of Indonesian Islam, and four leading Indonesian Muslim scholars explore and explain these developments. Each chapter examines recent trends from a strategic institutional perch: the Council of Indonesian Muslim scholars, the reformist Muhammadiyah, South Sulawesi's Committee for the Implementation of Islamic Shari'a, and ...
