About the author
Jahanara Imam
29 books111 followersJahanara Imam (Bangla: জাহানারা ইমাম) was a Bangladeshi writer and political activist. She is most widely remembered for her efforts to bring those accused of committing war crimes in the Bangladesh Liberation War to trial. She was known as "Shaheed Janani" (Mother of Martyrs).
She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in 1947 from Lady Brabourne College of Calcutta University and a Master's Degree from University of Dhaka. She took teaching as her career.
After Bangladesh achieved independence, Jahanara Imam started her literary career. In 1986 she published her wartime diary একাত্তরের দিনগুলি (The days of Seventy One). Publication of this book was a seminal event in the history of Bangladesh. It proved to be a catalyst for the renewal of faith in the destiny of Bangladesh as an independent nation.
Jahanara Imam organized the Ghatak-Dalal Nirmul Committee (Committee to exterminate the Killers and Collaborators), and became its public face. The committee called for the trial of people who committed crimes against humanity in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War in collaboration with the Pakistani forces. The Ghatak-Dalal Nirmul Committee set up mock trials in Dhaka in March 1992 known as Gonoadalot (Court of the people) and 'sentenced' persons they accused of being war criminals. Imam and others were charged with treason.[citation needed] This charge was, however, dropped in 1996 after her death by the Chief Advisor Mohammed Habibur Rahman of the Caretaker government of that time.
She was died of cancer in 1994. She was honored with Bangla Academy Award in 1991.

* ছোট গল্পের বই।
* প্রথম কয়েকটা গল্প সুন্দর, শেষের দুটো একটুও ভাল লাগে নাই।
* পুরাতন বই ছিল... হঠাৎ চোখে পরাতে কিনে ফেলেছিলাম গত সপ্তাহে। পুরাতন বইয়ের আলাদা একটা মাদকতা থাকে, অন্যরকম ঘ্রাণ!
