Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s Thoughts and Visions: Emancipation, Peace, and Development provides a compelling and nuanced analysis of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s life, philosophy, and contributions, intertwining them with the frameworks of Political Science and Peace Studies. As the architect of Bangladesh, Mujib’s qualities and ideals resonate with those of other legendary figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela. This book reveals how his vision for peace, emancipation, and development is integral to understanding his unwavering commitment to the freedom of the Bengali people. Through ten meticulously organized chapters, the narrative explores Mujib’s journey, highlighting his pivotal roles in political emancipation, economic empowerment, and the pursuit of social justice. The text delves into his nation-building efforts, detailing his ambition to transform Bangladesh into a "Sonar Bangla" (Golden Bengal) and his dedication to fostering regional peace in South Asia. Furthermore, it examines Mujib’s evolution into a global leader who advocated for peace and justice on the world stage, emphasizing his lasting impact beyond national borders.

His daughter, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh 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 a...
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.
