It is the persona of this man of history, of this moving force behind the emergence of new history in our part of the world which Enayetullah Khan brings to bear in his defining work, Bangabandhu: Epitome of a Nation. To be sure, Khan is reiterating what we have always known about the nation’s founding father. And yet there is something about great men that impels one into endless journeys of discovery and then rediscovery of the small moments and the larger dimensions of their lives. It is these spaces which Khan explores in this truly admirable work on the Father of the Nation. There are reasons, compelling ones, why this work should be a rich addition to one’s library, indeed to libraries across the country. From one perspective, it is a pictorial representation of Bangabandhu’s life and career, images which have assumed the status of powerful icons in Bangladesh’s history.

The entire political struggle which Mujib engaged in all his life, all the way to the end, are brought alive through photographic images encompassing the leader’s passage from youth to middle age. Lest one forget, Bangabandhu’s politics was electrifying enough for him to lead the nation to independence when he was a mere fifty-one years of age. By the age of fifty-five, he was dead. It is this dramatic period, so pregnant with substance and symbolism, which Enayetullah Khan brings alive through the pictorial images in the work. The collage speaks its own tale
