\"....This book is a collection of interviews of people who experienced 1971 in some degree of intensity or another. They cannot be easily catagorised as heroes or victims or by any other such definations. Best would be to say that they experienced 1971 and survived. So this is a collective diary of survivors.....\"



The book starts with these words. And if you continue journey with it, you will see many things regarding 1971. Hope you will love to read this book.

\"As we entered Dhaka, Thousands of people started cheering us. other freedom fighters were firing in the air so who could stop us? We camped at Ramna Race Course. The night we turn into day with the volumn of our firing. It was tremendous feeling of Happiness and achievement

When I woke up in the morning, we were surronding by tons of food stuff which include sweetmeats, biscuits, Moorhi, cheera and molasses. Men, women and children were milling around, touching us, cheering us and thanking us! Many of us had tears in our eyes. I was not surprised. I had never been so happy in my life. \"
