OP-ED: Looking back on 100 years of Dhaka University

The history of DU in inseparable from the history of Bangladesh

We have a deep relationship with DU. The history of the development of the Bengali nation and the birth of the state of Bangladesh is closely associated with Dhaka University, the heart of the country’s free thinking movement.

The teachers and students of this university have led the struggle for the dignity of the mother tongue. Fresh blood from chests poured out on the highway; they jumped into the Liberation War with infinite courage. They have always been active in all intellectual and democratic movements for the political-economic-cultural liberation of the beloved motherland. Therefore, Dhaka University is shining in its glory as the main institution that nurtures all the cultural, social, and political traditions of the country. This is what makes DU unique.
