-Farhan Ahmed

On 14 December our class went on a field trip to the liberation War Museum at Segun bagicha, Dhaka. The trip was planned as part of our Bangladesh studies course. Our bus reached the museum at 10. a.m. A guide was waiting for us. He welcomed us warmly and took us on a quick tour of the different galleries and exhibits of the museum.

There were six galleries that exhibited rare photographs, documents, newspaper clippings and objects used by the freedom fighters and the martyrs of our Liberation war. At Gallery 3, our teacher read out to us the Declaration of Independence by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Some other visitors also stopped and listened to it attentively. As we went inside gallery 6, we fell silent. We were  sad as we looked at the personal belongings of some of our martyred intellectuals and freedom fighters- a pair of glasses, a pen, a note book, a money bag, a soiled shirt and some others things.

We left the museum at 12.30. Before that we watched a video film on our liberation war and our Independence. It was an experience we would never forget.
