Biased & distorted history & culture

Revisado: 10-17-21

Being a Bangladeshi, I read the award winning book with a tower high hope & enthusiasm, which ended up being smashed with disheartens.
First of all, which infuriates me, that the Writers write up refuted and suppressed cold blooded the great role of Sector Commander Khalid Mosharraf, who was the all in all of masterminding , uniting , giving training and plotting the entire operations of Dhaka ! She even mentioned martyr Major Khalid Musharraf’s famous quote avoiding mentioning his name any single time !! Instead depicted in a way which lead the reader assumed Major Zia was that one!! How insane! Why so? So To get published during BNP reign ?
No one denies Major Zia’s role as the announcer of Independence in the name of Bongobondhu or his role over war time. But Major Zia had to relation with Dhaka operation, why on earth the boys would be chasing him!

I was bruised to realized how poor knowledge she holds of our culture , values , Family affairs , domestic aids and thought of sex during that time ( Mayas Comment on everybody had premarital sex beside Sharmin!! During early 70”s ! That’s insane!) was nakedly surfaced!

Good book for Academic migrants

Revisado: 08-29-20

I like the book. like the tension between two geberations, where the earlier were the first generation migrant struggling to cope up in new world keeping the values and inclination towards own culrure ahead. Whereas the later generation feeling not much connected or loyal to their origin instead much into metamorphose to the land they grew up.
