My dear Fahmida,
I received your letter yesterday. I hope you all are safe and sound by the grace of Allah. But I am unhappy to know that you do not know the proper history of our liberation war. In your letter, you have mentioned that liberation war was actually the war between the Hindus and the Muslims. But actually liberation war was the war against oppressors, it was a war between the peace loving Bangladeshis and furious Pakistanis. West Pakistan thought us as the lower class Muslim. After 1947, West Pakistan never wanted peace and growth of East Pakistan. They have killed thousands of our people, raped our mothers and sisters many of whom are also Muslims, Buddists and other religion followers. West Pakistan never wanted to hand over the rule of this region on the hand of our leaders like Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. They have stolen our national reserve by channeling currency from East Pakistan to West Pakistan. Actually they are responsible for this liberation war. You should read famous books on liberation war to get the real picture of this war. Many Bangladeshi authors have written many books on this war. But you should read the books of good and moral writers. Some of them are Dr. Muntasir Mamun, Selina Hossain, Zahanara Imam, Showkat Osman, Humayun Ahmed, Sufia Kamal, M R Akhter Mukul, Anwar Pasha, Syed Shamsul Haque, Rabeya Khaton etc. As an educated and conscientious citizen of the country you should know the proper history of your nation.

No more today. I am well. Convey my best regards to your parents and love to the youngers.

Your loving
Sadia
