Close to my Heart : A Daughter’s Tribute to Her Father

Original price was: 1,000.00৳ .Current price is: 750.00৳ .
Close to My Heart - A Daughter's Tribute to her Father by Dr. Khurshid Akhter Hossain is the English translation of Janak Swarney Attoja by Piary Akhter. Both the authors are daughters of the late Mr. Golam Mobarak whose life journey has been soulfully described here. This book is a tribute to a great man who left a lasting impression on the lives of his children and grandchildren. The life story of Mr. Golam Mobarak can be easily relatable to many middle-class, educated families as they faced the trials and tribulations of a challenging environment during the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947. He demonstrated tremendous vision and courage to navigate through a difficult time and establish himself as a pioneer in a newly-formed nation, thus, making a pathway for his next generation. The book traces the entire journey of Mr. Golam Mobarak from his humble beginnings in Midnapore, West Bengal, to the Presidency College in Calcutta, and all the way to Dhaka, Bangladesh where he rose to the position of a Labor Commissioner, and later became a trail blazer as a law practitioner. The book is a memoir by his daughter and serves as both a personal and social history of life during the pre and post partition of the Indian sub-continent.
