বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খণ্ড
submission and humiliation. I think I have some idea about your ultimate goal in life and here is the most opportune moment. We have to do something. As a student of history and the field where you can tread so well, you already know how one can “seize the time". Are you thinking seriously about anything? If I had money I would have immediately gone to Cuba. I was in Red China when the Red Guards had enjoyed the supreme power and I have seen with my own eyes how a revolution can be created and made to survive. I already contacted some Israeli groups and one Trotskite group also asked me to talk to them and brief them as to what could be done to change the situation. Do you have any specific instructions or suggestions in this regard?
Please inform me immediately about your coming plans and schedules. It is too bad that you people could not be brought to the West Coast colleges on speaking engagements during the Spring Quarter. I am not quite sure whether Summer time is appropriate for such ... professional teachers who come to get credits for their higher degrees. However, try to persuade Justice Choudhury to come to the West Coast, especially Berkeley and U. C. L. A. to give talks. American public in general are very ignorant of world problems (as much as we are about Colombian or Finnish politics).
Please send some photographs of the atrocities and mass killings we may blow them up to a large size to impress the Americans for they “love" to see these kind of things. Their passion and sympathy can be easily aroused with such technique. Try to contact some British reporters and people who may have some pictures. What about “Janomat"?
I think it would be a good idea to write to Davidson personally and appeal to him to do something for us through the U. C. L. A. Your writing from London or Oxford will be more effective than my meeting him here. Please also write to Basham in Australia for he will be very pleased to receive your letter. Let him know who you are-the title 'Curator' will arouse much curiosity in him. Both the addresses are given below.
What reports do you have of Mujibur Rahman? I personally think that he is dead by now-killed. The fact that the military did not bring him before the public to effectively destroy the morale of Bengalees during the days when Mujib's “voice" was 'broadcast' over clandestine radio itself was a definite proof that he was not alive at that time. Can you think of some kind of effective ploy to prove that he is not alive? I was thinking of making a story to be published in the Newspaper (in a letter) telling that he was killed giving the “actual" circumstances which would be convincing enough for the American public. The only way to “disprove" my contention would be with Yahya Khan to publicly refute it along with his presenting Mujib “alive" before the American reporters. We have to take enough pains to prove that the released photograph of Mujib is a very old one, perhaps pre-1966 when he was being tried on a treason-conspiracy. Do not discuss the matter with others, but let me know how we can do it very effectively. History will guide you-remember the burning of Reichstag by Hitler and putting the blame on the communists.
I know you are extremely preoccupied. But you can dictate a letter to your wonderful secretary and she will do the rest of it very efficiently.
