History is worse than fiction

Everyone is a hero in their own story, and nobody talks about their dark side. It’s a very common habit of humans, and it’s not surprising in my opinion. Whenever we tell our story to others, we never think that we are wrong, and we always say that our opponents are wrong. Many times, we also know that we are on the wrong side, but we are not ready to accept it, and whenever we talk about it to others, we hide part of our mistake and try to prove the other party is wrong. That’s the reason it says to never judge others based on hearing one side of the story.

When there is a war or clash, there is a winner all the time. If it’s a war, the loser may lose life, and if it’s a clash, the loser doesn’t get the chance to share, or nobody cares about it. History is written by victors, and in most cases, it has the chance to be biased. Believe it or not, many histories are biased, in my opinion, and maybe that’s the reason I don’t like to read history books. I feel fictional books are better than history books because at least we know that those are not real.

My country has been an independent country since 1971, and the victory came to us after 9 months of bloody war. Almost all kinds of people made their contributions and made sacrifices for the victory. Each of them is the pride of my nation, and I respect all of them. I am sure that you must have heard the names of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Ziaur Rahman. There are many other characters who played significant roles in the war, but I mentioned only two because the latter two parties formed after the war, and after that, they showed how history changes. The two characters I mentioned here also played a very important role in the war. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman spent most of the time in prison, but he was one of the most influential persons in my country, and his voice was the voice of my country’s people. Unfortunately, when the war was occurring, he was in prison. In that time, four leaders of my country handled the situation very well, and Ziaur Rahman was a freedom fighter and military officer who also fought for the country. He formed a new party after the victory, and the party became the rival party of the party formed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Both of them are the pride of our country, and both make contributions for my country, and I don’t think it’s ok for anyone to be eliminated from history, but such a thing happened in my country. None of them is alive now, and they both fought for the country and gave us an independent nation. But when the daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman came to power, she fabricated the history books and restricted many books related to history. I guess she tried her best to make her father the best person in the nation, and she also did corruption by her father’s name, if I guess right, and the worst part is she almost eliminated the history of Ziaur Rahman. In rare cases, their names were mentioned in available history books. I never thought it was right because it’s not a good thing to tamper with history. The next generation won’t know the real history in such a case.

The dictator president (daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) ran away from the country one year ago. It’s a historical event, and the ruling party president was forced to run away, but with that in the history book, the name of Ziaur Rahman is back, and I think it’s a good thing, and the fabricated story about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is removed. If in the upcoming days the party of Ziaur Rahman comes to power, there is a possibility they will tamper with history, like the past. I think both Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Ziaur Rahman have contributed to the country, and again, both have some dark history, especially after independence. I believe as general people, we all deserve to know the truth, and so I think true history should be written; it doesn’t matter if it’s the bright side or the dark side of people.
