This volume on Bangabandhu’s
philosophy, politics and policies draws on his own writings and on one of the author’s first hand interaction with him in the world of politics and policy-making. It discusses Bangabandhu’s unique role in leading the Bengali nationalist struggle, his steadfast commitment to the nationalist cause as a way of liberating the down-trodden masses from exploitation and oppression, and his Six-point programme which served as the manifesto for self-rule that eventually culminated in the Liberation War and the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state. It explores Bangabandhu’s political philosophy expressed through his writings and supported by his political actions which was later incorporated in the Bangladesh Constitution as the four guiding principles of state : nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism. It highlights Bangabandhu’s determination to Operationalize these principles through his policy agendas in post-liberation Bangladesh to construct a secular, just, egalitarian and exploitation free society.
